Pollution(污染)

            Pollution
    Our surroundings are being polluted fast and man's present efforts can not prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials.
     What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man -- by his desire for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim.So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children.There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty
years, pollution has become a serious problem.
     Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going-- and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker,"I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The
bad news is that we're lost and don't know where we're going. " The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society.

污染
    我們的環(huán)境受污染的速度之快，是人類現(xiàn)在的努力無法阻止的。時間帶給我們更多的人口，更多的人口帶給我們更多的工業(yè)，更多的汽車，更大的城市和人造材料的更多消耗。
    什么可以解釋、解決這一問題呢?事實(shí)是污染是人類造成的—通過人類對現(xiàn)代生活方式的欲望。我們把“提高工業(yè)化”作為我們的主要目標(biāo)。所以通常我們愿意付出任何東西：清潔的空氣，純凈的水源，美好的食物，人類的健康和孩子的未來。人們不斷地由鄉(xiāng)村涌入城市，急于追求現(xiàn)代社會帶來的利益。但是過去二十年中隨著科技成果的不斷增長，污染已成為一個嚴(yán)峻的問題。
    難道還不是我們停下來問問自己，要到哪里去，為什么的時候嗎?這使人想起了一個飛行員的故事，他通過喇叭告知乘客：“我有一個好消息和一個壞消息。好消息是
我們正在以每小時530英里的速度快速前進(jìn)。壞消息是我們迷路了，不知道目的地在哪�！北�哀的是談到我們現(xiàn)代社會的時候這就變成了一個真實(shí)的故事。
