   3月22日是第18个世界水日。从这一天开始为期一周的时间,将是第23届“中国水周”。人类目前能够利用的淡水资源只占全球水资源总量的0.26%,其中70%以上被冻结在南极和北极的冰盖中,加上难以利用的高山冰川和永冻积雪,有87%的淡水资源难以被人类利用。联合国称,到2025年,30%的国家将面临“水荒”。


  请看新华社的报道:
  The General Assembly designated the first World Water Day in 1993, and on March 22 every year since, the focus has been on a different aspect of freshwater sustainability, including sanitation 1 and water scarcity 2
  联合国大会在1993年确定了首个世界水日,自此之后,每年3月22日被定为世界水日。世界水日的主题集中在淡水资源可持续利用的不同方面,包括水资源清洁状况以及水荒。
  文中的water scarcity就是指“水荒”,也称为water shortage(水资源缺乏)。地球上的水资源主要分为freshwater(淡水)和salt water(咸水)两大类。其中,无法直接食用的salt water占绝大多数。我们平时所喝的则是经过处理的safe drinking water(安全饮用水)。为了节约用水,很多农田还使用了drip irrigation(滴灌技术)。
  平时口渴了,人们喜欢喝mineral water(矿泉水),soda water(汽水),或者iced water(冰水)。身体不舒服的时候可以灌个hot-water bottle(热水袋)。到了雨季,如果海河达到了high-water mark(高水位线),就要注意防洪了。

n.公共卫生,环境卫生,卫生设备
  • The location is exceptionally poor,viewed from the sanitation point.从卫生角度来看,这个地段非常糟糕。
  • Many illnesses are the result,f inadequate sanitation.许多疾病都来源于不健全的卫生设施。
n.缺乏,不足,萧条
  • The scarcity of skilled workers is worrying the government.熟练工人的缺乏困扰着政府。
  • The scarcity of fruit was caused by the drought.水果供不应求是由于干旱造成的。
