News that Matters: pollution in Norgate
Unit 1 Nature in the balance
Language Points
HOST: Good evening and welcome to News that Matters. Our topic today is pollution in Norgate. Joining us in the studio tonight are James Smith, a local resident; Vincent Brown, senior manager of a local factory; and Julie Archer, chief of the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee. Welcome.
pollution n. 污染
pollute v. 污染
committee n. 委员会
community n. 社区；社会
主持人：晚上好，欢迎收看《焦点新闻》。我们今天的话题是诺盖特市的污染。今晚来到我们演播室的有本地居民詹姆斯·史密斯、本地一家工厂的高管文森特·布朗，还有诺盖特环境保护委员会的负责人朱莉·阿彻。欢迎你们。
Norgate's rapid development has had significant environmental costs. Mr. Smith, you've lived in this city for over 20 years. How would you describe the effects of pollution over that time
cost n. 代价；费用；成本
significant environmental costs 巨大的环境代价
for+一段时间 时态为现在完成时
over that time 在这段时间
诺盖特市的高速发展付出了高昂的环境代价。史密斯先生，您已经在这座城市生活了二十多年。您能说说这二十年间污染造成的影响吗？
SMITH: It's been awful, really. When I first moved here, the air was fresh, the grass green and the water clear. Then heavy industry factories moved in, and things became entirely different. I don' t enjoy outdoor activities any more.
awful adj. 糟糕的，可怕的
awesome adj. 令人惊叹的；极佳的
entirely adv. 完全地，全部地
entire adj. 全部的，整个的
=totally, completely adv. 完全地，完整地
史密斯：非常糟糕，真的。我刚搬来时，这里空气清新、草绿水清。后来重工业工厂迁来了，情况变得截然不同了。我再也不喜欢户外活动了。
The river is dirty and smelly. The smog in the air has coloured the sky a smoky grey; it' s also given me a cough that I can' t get rid of. For health and safety reasons alone, heavy industry has to go.
smog n. 雾霾，烟雾由smoke和fog两个词各取一部分缩合而成的一个新词，称为缩合构词法。
eg: brunch = breakfast + lunch 早午餐
motel = motor + hotel 汽车旅馆
get rid of 摆脱，丢弃，扔掉 rid vt. 使…摆脱
be rid of sth./sb. 摆脱某人/某事物
We got rid of all the old toys.
我们扔掉了所有的旧玩具。
河水又脏又臭。空气中的烟雾把天空都染成了烟灰色；这还让我患上了咳嗽，久治不愈。单是出于健康和安全的原因，重工业也必须迁走。
HOST: Mr. Smith protested against heavy industry. Mr. Brown, would you like to respond
BROWN: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, Mr. Smith. People tend to connect factories with pictures of clouds of dirty smoke and irresponsible businessmen eager to make huge profits.
tend v. 趋向 tendency n. 趋势 tend to 趋向/往往做某事
profit n.&v. 利润；收益；(得到)好处
make/earn a profit (from) （从......中）盈利
profitable adj. 有利可图的；有益的
主持人：史密斯先生反对重工业。布朗先生，您想做出回应吗？
布朗：好吧，对于您那样的感受我很抱歉，史密斯先生。一提到工厂，人们总是将其与浓烟滚滚的画面和急于牟取暴利、不负责任的商人形象联系在一起。
In defence of the factories, however, I' d like to point out that we also try to control the amount of pollution we produce. I think I speak for all factory managers when I say we' re deeply concerned about the environment.
defence n.防御；保护 defensive adj. 防御的，保护的
defenceless adj. 无防御的 in defence of 为保护…;防御
point out 指出

The soldiers fought bravely in defence of their country.
士兵们为保卫他们的国家英勇作战。
不过，我要为工厂说句话，我想指出，我们也在努力控制我们制造的污染。我们对环境问题深感担忧，我想，我是代表所有的工厂负责人说的这句话。
We've been taking various measures, including the use of new technologies, to reduce pollution in the production process, even though these measures raise our production costs.
take measures/actions to do sth. 采取行动
process n. 过程，进程；步骤，流程 vt. 加工；处理

我们一直在采取各种各样的措施，包括新科技手段的运用，来减少生产过程中产生的污染，尽管这些措施会增加我们的生产成本。
I' d also like to draw your attention to the economic benefits factories have brought to Norgate. We've created many jobs for local residents and helped the city' s economy grow.
draw one’s attention 吸引某人的注意力
economic adj.经济上的；可赚钱的
economical adj. 节约的；实惠的
economy n. 经济；节约
我还希望您能注意到，这些工厂给诺盖特市带来的经济效益。我们为当地居民创造了许多就业岗位，并对这座城市的经济增长起到了助推作用。
HOST: Thank you, Mr. Brown. With pollution levels on the rise, the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee is searching for ways to fight the problem. Mrs. Archer, what are your thoughts on how to deal with pollution
searching for 搜索，搜寻，寻找
主持人：谢谢您，布朗先生。鉴于污染程度不断加重，诺盖特环境保护委员会正在设法应对这个问题。阿彻女士，您对如何处理污染问题有何见解？
ARCHER: Well, our committee has a major role to play in maintaining air and water quality. We have to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic development. We've made environmental policies for businesses to observe, like strict clean-up requirements.
quality n. 品质，质量
quantity n. 数量
observe v. 观察，遵守，注意到，庆祝
observation n. 观察
阿彻：是的，我们委员会在维护空气质量和水质量方面发挥着重要作用。我们必须在环境保护与经济发展之间求得平衡。我们已经制定了供各行业遵守的环境政策，比如严格的净化要求。
We also work hand in hand with other branches of government to ensure that development strategies are followed in an environmentally friendly way. However, fighting pollution isn't just a task for factories and the government.
hand in hand 携手合作
in an environmentally friendly way 以环保的方式
我们也与其他政府部门携手，确保以一种环境友好的方式贯彻发展战略。然而，与污染作斗争不仅仅是工厂与政府的任务。
It has to be a community-wide effort, and everyone can help by following the golden rule: reduce, reuse and recycle. For example, you can save energy by taking the bus or the subway, or using the bike-sharing system.
golden rule 黄金法则
recycle　vt. 回收利用；重新使用概念
recycling n.回收利用
recyclable adj.可回收利用的；可循环的
应该全社会通力协作，人人都可以通过遵守“减少使用、重复使用、回收利用”这一黄金法则来助力。打个比方，您可以乘坐公交车、地铁，或者使用共享单车来节约能源。
HOST: Thank you, Mrs. Archer, and thanks again to all of our guests. A former UN official once said, “Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth ... these are one and the same fight." The fortunes of our environment and our economy are inseparable.
former adj. 昔日的，前任的；从前的
latter adj. 后者的；后面的
one and the same 同一个(人或物)，表示强调。
主持人：谢谢您，阿彻女士，再次感谢我们所有的嘉宾。一位联合国前官员曾经说过：“拯救我们的地球，让人们摆脱贫困，实现经济增长…这是同一场战斗。”我们的环境与经济的命运休戚与共。
It' s our duty to protect the environment while we aim for economic development. It' s our duty to leave a better, cleaner and healthier planet to our children. It' s our duty to build a human community with a shared future.
It’s one’s duty to do… 做...是某人的责任
