【Part B】 Water in everyday life
Lu Yao and Wang Yiming are going to give a group presentation about water
【B部分】日常生活中的水
陆瑶和王一鸣将做一个关于水的主题小组报告

[B1] Listen, read and think What are they going to say about water in their presentation?
[B1] 听一听，读一读，想一想 他们在报告中准备说些什么关于水的内容？

Lu Yao: Shall we talk about how useful water is?
Yiming: I’m afraid that’s a little boring. Let’s share something new, not things
people already know.
陆瑶：我们要不要说说水有多有用？
一鸣：恐怕这有点无聊。我们分享些新鲜内容吧，别说人们早就知道的事。

Lu Yao: You’re right. What if we talk about the bad things that happen when
we waste water?
Yiming: Good idea! With water everywhere, many people don’t see the need
to save it.
陆瑶：你说得对。如果我们谈谈浪费水会造成哪些恶果呢？
一鸣：好主意！因为到处都有水，很多人意识不到节约用水的必要性。

Lu Yao: Exactly! The problem is, the more water we use, the more energy and chemicals are needed for wastewater treatment. This not only wastes energy but also makes water less safe for drinking.
陆瑶：没错！问题是，我们用水越多，处理污水就需要消耗更多能源和化学药剂。这不仅浪费能源，还会降低饮用水的安全性。

Yiming: Oh! That’s really bad! We can include more facts like this in our
presentation to encourage everyone to save water when they can.
Lu Yao:That’s really clever! I’ll start researching right away!
一鸣：噢！这确实很糟糕！我们可以在报告中多加入这类事实，鼓励大家尽可能节约用水。
陆瑶：这想法真聪明！我马上就开始查资料！

Morning in the desert
沙漠清晨

The sky is grey when I wake up. Rubbing my eyes, I get up and tie a piece
of soap into the corner of my clothes. I pick up two water pots, putting one
on my head and the other under my arm. Then I set off for the toba, the
water hole.
我醒来时天空灰蒙蒙的。揉揉眼睛起身，把一块肥皂系在衣角。拿起两个水罐，一个顶在头上，一个夹在腋下。然后出发前往托巴——我们的水坑。

At the toba I look out over our water. We will have about a month before it dries up, but the rainy season will not begin for another two months. As I step into the water, the mud covers my feet.
在托巴边，我查看着所剩的水量。大约还能维持一个月就会干涸，但雨季还要两个月才会来临。踏入水中时，淤泥漫过脚踝。

I push the scum on the water to the side. To keep the mud out, I place a piece of cloth over the mouth of the water pot.
我把水面浮沫拨到一旁。为了防止泥沙进入，我在罐口蒙了一块布。

When the pot is full, I take it to the nearby bathing rock.
水罐装满后，我把它带到附近的沐浴岩石旁。

The sun shines brightly. I throw my hair forward and pour water over it. I can feel the heat as the water wets my head and my neck.
阳光炽烈。我把头发拨到前面浇水冲洗。当水流过头发和脖颈时，能感受到太阳的灼热。

Keeping my eyes shut, I carefully rub the soap into my hair and skin until every drop of water is fully used. Water is precious, so I can’t waste any.
紧闭双眼，仔细地将肥皂涂抹在头发和皮肤上，直到每一滴水都被充分利用。水如此珍贵，我不能浪费分毫。

Mum used to bathe my sister and me with just one cup of water when we were small.
Over the next week we watch our pool get smaller. As the water quietly disappears with the hot desert wind, we also prepare to leave the toba and move on.
小时候，妈妈只用一杯水就能给妹妹和我洗澡。
接下来的一周，我们眼看着水坑逐渐缩小。当灼热的沙漠风悄悄带走水分时，我们也准备离开托巴继续迁徙。
