[00:16.32]Good evening and welcome to Your World. [00:19.68]On tonight's show we'll be talking [00:21.11]about noise pollution. [00:22.78]Here with us to discuss this issue [00:24.98]is Professor Wang,an environmentalist [00:27.33]from Beijing University. [00:29.17]Professor Wang,welcome to the show. [00:31.48]Thank you. [00:32.57]So,can you tell us, [00:34.03]what exactly is noise pollution? [00:36.85]That's a good question. [00:38.78]It's not an easy thing to define. [00:41.91]What one person thinks is a loud, [00:44.48]annoying noise,another person might enjoy! [00:48.55]It also depends on what the noise is, [00:51.32]where it is,and when it occurs. [00:54.20]For example,loud music at a rock concert [00:57.49]is enjoyable for the audience, [00:59.75]but even quiet music at 2 o'clock [01:02.38]in the morning is very annoying [01:04.31]for someone trying to sleep. [01:06.22]Yes,I see. [01:07.17]So how would you describe noise pollution,then [01:10.46]Well,generally speaking, [01:11.94]noise pollution is any sound that interrupts [01:14.57]our daily lives or makes us feel uncomfortable.
