5.2 Pollution 環(huán)境污染
M: Well, no one could survive without water, but you see pollution has been making more and more water unable for drinking.
W: Yeah. Water pollution has for a long time been a major concern among the environmental issues.
M: But what are the sources of water pollution?
W: They could generally be divided into two categories: direct and indirect contaminant sources.
M: Well, direct ones are the pollution directly from factories, refineries waste treatment plants etc., aren’t they?
W: Yeah. They are emitted directly into urban water supplies.
M: But what about the indirect ones?
W: Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rainwater.
M: I see. For the sake of us all, we should be an active participator in the prevention of it.
W: Sure. It's an issue asking for everyone's participation.

譯：
M：如果沒有水誰也活不了，但是你看，污染正使越來越多的水沒辦法供人飲用。
W：是啊，長期以來水污染一直都是環(huán)境問題中備受關注的。
M：但是都有哪些污染源呢？
W：可以分為兩大類，即直接污染和間接污染。
M：嗯，直接污染是指工廠、冶煉廠、廢水處理廠等地方直接排出來的廢物，是吧？
W：對，它們不經處理就直接排到城市居民的飲用水源里了。
M：那間接污染是什么呢？
W：間接污染是從泥土、地下水系統(tǒng)以及通過雨水從大氣中進入水源的有害物。
M：我知道了，為了我們自身的利益，我們大家都應該積極參與到防止污染的活動中去。
W：就是，這是個人人都應該參與的事情。

固定詞組“for the sake of…”表示“為了…”。
