B: I heard! Cancer was the top killer in China last year.
 
听说了,去年在中国死于癌症的人最多.
 
A: any idea why?
 
你怎么看待这个问题呢?
 
B: I think environmental factors are probably the main cause. In Beijing alone, 70-80 percent of all fatal cancer cases are related to the environment.
 
 
我认为环境问题是最主要的原因.但在北京,70%--80%的重癌症病例都和环境有关系.
 
A: some say that's just the cost of rapid economic development over the past two decades.
 
有人说,这是由于我们过去20多年经济过快发展造成的.

许多人在夸张,中国是否会走向环境灾难.
 
A: oh, thatgoes too far, doesn't it?
 
那也太夸张了吧?

或许吧,不好说.四分之一的人喝不到干净的水;三分之一的城市人口呼吸着受到污染的空气;还有,世界上10个污染最严重的城市,有7个就在中国.

没有.但是政府已经采取了很多措施.
 
A: like what?

到目前为止,政府在水,空气,固体污染等方面,已经制订和修订了相关法律,以实现可持续发展.
 
A: that should be a big help. However, we really need to promote the awareness of environmental issues among individuals. That way we can all help together.
 
这应该是一个很大的帮助。然而，我们确实需要提高个人对环境问题的认识。这样我们可以一起提供帮助。
 
B: definitely, we have only one earth and we all have to share it.
 
的确.我们只有一个地球,必须共同保护她.
