2. I just wanted to tell you about some of the recent changes we've made to the garden at the back of the complex, which we all have access to.[qh]
2、我只是想告诉你一些最近我们对整个建筑群后方的花园的改造，我们都能去那儿。[qh]
As you know, there are some attractive and well-established plants in there and we didn't want to take any of these out.[qh]
正如你们所知，在这里有一些很迷人的植物，栽种得很好，我们不想把它们除掉。[qh]
But many of these are struggling in the harsh 3 sun, which falls directly on that area.[qh]
但很多植物都在烈日下备受折磨，阳光直射此区域。[qh]
To solve this we're going to plant trees along the western edge of the garden, just near the pond.[qh]
为了解决这个问题，我们打算沿着花园西部边缘种树，就在池塘旁边。[qh]

B: OK, it would certainly make it look a bit more interesting.[qh]
B：好的，肯定能让它看起来更有趣了。[qh]
4. Studying ice cores 5 in the South Pole can tell us a lot about the past climate, which, in turn, can help us understand how today's climate is changing.[qh]
4、在南极研究冰芯能告诉我们过去的气候，反过来，也有助于让我们弄懂今天的气候是怎样变化的。[qh]
My particular area of study is snow. While we scientists understand the process of how snow is created, very little is known about how snow interacts 6 with the atmosphere and influences our weather patterns.[qh]
我具体的研究领域是雪。我们这些科学家明白雪形成的过程，但对于雪与大气的互动，以及对气候规律的形象，我们知之甚少。[qh]
One of the things we're trying to do is to link what we already know about meteorology and clouds and determine the impact 7 that snow has on that.[qh]
我们正在尝试的其中一项工作是把我们已知的气象学知识与云朵方面的知识联系起来，确定雪对此的影响。 [qh]
