I always think about my childhood experiences. I would visit a stream next to our home to get water for my mother. I would drink water straight from the stream. I would play with the fallen flowers in the stream. And I would try to touch all kinds of fish. But every time I put my little fingers under them, they would go away. Later, I saw thousands of young fish swimming through the clear water against the background of the brown earth. This is the world I received from my parents.
我总是想起我的童年经历。我常去我家旁边的一条小溪给妈妈取水。我会直接喝小溪里的水。我会玩落在小溪里的花。我会尝试触摸小溪里各种各样的鱼。但每次我把我的小手指放在它们下面,它们就会游走。后来,我看到成千上万的小鱼在棕色河床的背景下游过清澈的水面。这是我从父母那里得到的世界。
Today, over 50 years later, the stream has dried up. Women walk long distances for water, which is not always clean, and children don’t even know what they have lost. It was not until now that I realized the importance of protecting the environment.
50多年后的今天,这条河已经干涸。妇女们走很远的路去取水,水并不总是干净的,孩子们甚至不知道自己失去了什么。直到现在,我才意识到保护环境的重要性。
It’s time we took action for future generations! We should save water and make the best use of it. At the same time, trees should be planted as many as possible. What’s more, we can always go green by carrying our cloth bags while shopping and taking public transportation or shared bikes while moving around.
是我们为下一代采取行动的时候了!我们应该节约用水并充分利用它。同时,应该尽可能多地种植树木。另外,我们可以在购物时带着布袋,乘坐公共交通工具或共享单车,以此来保护环境。
If every one of us gets involved, we will be able to restore the home of the young fish and give back to our children a world of beauty and wonder.
如果我们每个人都参与进来,我们将能够重建小鱼的家,将一个美丽神奇的世界还给我们的孩子。
