  And it was done in Europe.  研究在欧洲进行。
  And they estimated that 1.6 million years of healthy living are lost every year in Europe because of noise pollution. 他们预计,人类过去160万年形成的健康生活方式在欧洲逐年减少,这正是由于噪音污染。
  So they think it's actually very deadly. 他们认为噪音污染的确是非常致命的。

  When they wrote the Constitution, they put dirt all over the cobblestones outside the hall so that they could concentrate. 他们制定宪法的时候,把泥土涂满白宫外面的鹅卵石,这样他们就可以集中精力。
  So without noise reduction technology, our country would not exist.  因此没有消除噪音技术,我们的国家就不会存在。
