Unit 29

Unit 29 Sparkling, still or tap? LESSON 57 What's the highest price that you've ever been charged for a bottle of water? Oh, I don't know! Some bottled waters are as expensive as petrol. Some of them are as expensive as fine wine! When I think of all the oil that has been used to make all those plastic bottles . . . And all the oil that has been used to carry them around the world . . . ! And all the billions of empty bottles . . . . . . that will be put into the garbage . . . , . . . it doesn't make sense! The sad thing is, the tap water in this country is pretty good. It's the same in the States. Sometimes the water doesn't taste good, but it's always safe. So what are we going to do about it? You tell me! What do you say in a fine restaurant, when they ask you, ‘Do you want sparkling water, or still, madam?' You say, ‘Tap water will be fine, thank you! ' Do you? I'm proud of you, Karen! Here comes the waiter. I'm leaving it to you!

苏打水，蒸馏水，还是自来水? 你买一瓶水最多花过多少钱? 噢，我不知道! 一些瓶装水同石油一样贵。 有些同上好的葡萄酒一样贵! 想想生产所有那些塑料瓶所需的油..… 还有把它们运到世界各地所需的油……! 还有所有那些多达几十亿的空瓶子…… ……那些将被扔进垃圾桶的空瓶子…… ……这真不合理! 可悲的是，这个国家的自来水水质很好。 美国也是这样。 有时，水喝起来味道不好，但总是很安全的。 那么我们对此可以做些什么呢? 你说着了! 如果在一家高级餐馆他们问你:“女士，你是要苏打水还是蒸馏水?” 你说:“自来水就可以，谢谢!” 你会这么说吗? 我真为你感到骄傲，卡伦! 侍者来了，就看你的了!
