     范文:
     Today’s society is deluged with fake products and constructions. Given this fact, we still feel quite shocked to discover in this picture that a water disposal station is such a counterfeit project. Polluted water that goes through the station inexplicably remains unchanged, but is able to be drained off into rivers and seas.
     The drawing ironically echoes with the insufficient efforts we have committed against pollution. On the one hand, government and the whole society have already arrived at the consensus that great manpower and money should be input to fully implement water conservation policy. On the other hand, some local officials only care about how to bring about a thriving economy and vibrant trade flows, neglecting the accountability of environmental protection. But I would say that the picture reveals an action lacking farsighted view, because pollution, in the long run, will inevitably undermine the fundamentals of economy.
     To briefly conclude, the inadequate efforts to pollution issues are posing a fatal threat to mankind’s survival on Earth. To prevent such a pessimistic future, the public should impose great pressure on government to take pollution affairs as priorities. Additionally, those who are responsible for false facilities that claim to address pollution should be fined and chastised.
     譯文:
     現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的一大特點(diǎn)就是假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品和工程到處泛濫。雖然我們知道這樣一個(gè)事實(shí),我們?nèi)匀惑@訝于圖中的污水處理站竟然是如此的一個(gè)贗品。經(jīng)過這個(gè)處理站的污水不知為何沒有經(jīng)過任何處理,但卻因此可以隨意排放到河流和海洋中。
     這幅圖指出了我們目前在治理污染這個(gè)問題上沒有花足夠的力氣。一方面,政府和全社會(huì)都達(dá)成了以下共識(shí),即我們要花巨大的人力和財(cái)力來保護(hù)水資源。另一方面,一些地方官員只關(guān)心經(jīng)濟(jì)和貿(mào)易的發(fā)展,而忽略了環(huán)境保護(hù)的責(zé)任。我認(rèn)為這是一種非常缺乏遠(yuǎn)見的做法,因?yàn)槲廴驹陂L期看來會(huì)根本地?fù)p害經(jīng)濟(jì)。
     總而言之,如果解決污染不力的話,會(huì)給人類在地球上的生存帶來致命的威脅。為了防止這種悲觀的前景,公眾應(yīng)該向政府施加壓力,以使政府把治理污染作為第一要?jiǎng)?wù)。此外,那些假冒的污染處理設(shè)施的負(fù)責(zé)人應(yīng)該被處以罰款和嚴(yán)懲。
