英语翻译
Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world.29billion bottles of water are drunk each year.It takes 17 million barrels of crude oil to make there bottles.That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.So why don't more people drink water from the tap in the kitchen?Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap,but that's not true.In the United States,the government makes sure water from the tap is safe.People love bottled water because it is convenient to take with them.But maybe if they understand the problems it makes,they will try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable bottle instead of a plastic one.Although plastic water bottles can be turned into some other useful things,only a small number of them are reused.The rest are taken away in rubbish trucks,or even worse,they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers,lakes,and the ocean.Plastic bottles take hundreds of years to break down.Water is good for you,so keep drinkingit.But think about how often you use plastic water bottles,and see if you can make a change.If you take one to school.don't throw it away----bring it home and put tap water in it for the next day.

美国人比世界上任何一个国家的人买的瓶装水都多.他们每年要喝掉290亿瓶水.做这些水瓶需要消耗1700万桶原油.这些油足够一百万辆汽车用一年了.那么为什麽没有更多的人喝自来水呢?有些人认为喝瓶装水比喝自来水好,其实不尽然.在美国,政府确保自来水是安全的.人们喜欢喝瓶装水是因为它方便携带.但也许他们了解了瓶装水造成的危害后,会在家喝玻璃杯中的水或携带一个可循环使用的水瓶,而不用塑胶瓶.尽管塑料水瓶可以变成其他一些有用的东西,但只有少量可以被回收再利用.其余的都被垃圾车运走,更糟的结果是,他们最终被随意扔在地上,倾倒进河流、湖泊和海洋.塑胶瓶要几百年才能分解.水对人有好处,所以要每天喝水.但要想一想你是否经常用塑料水瓶,看看你是否改掉这一习惯.如果你把一个塑料瓶带到学校,不要把它扔掉——把它带回家,第二天再用它来装自来水喝.
