　　答案解析

　　參考譯文

　　污染是一個(gè)“骯臟”的詞語(yǔ)。污染就是弄臟——表土或什么東西，通過(guò)引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)使其不健康或不潔。污染可以有很多形式。我們可以看見(jiàn)它，聞到它，嘗到它，喝到它，從它中間掙扎走過(guò)。我們簡(jiǎn)直生活在污染中，呼吸著它，毫不奇怪，它開(kāi)始威脅我們的健康、我們的幸福和我們的文明。

　　我們?cè)��?jīng)把污染只是想成煙霧——盤(pán)旋在城市上空的那種嗆人、刺鼻、骯臟的空氣。但是空氣污染雖然是最為危險(xiǎn)的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染之一。

　　通過(guò)不加控制地使用殺蟲(chóng)劑。人類(lèi)已經(jīng)污染了土地，殺死了野生動(dòng)物。通過(guò)將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)傾倒進(jìn)河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的飲用水。我們也正在污染海洋，殺死魚(yú)類(lèi)，因而剝奪了我們那無(wú)價(jià)的食物供應(yīng)。

　　人口爆炸也是引起污染的原因之一。越來(lái)越多的人正在制造越來(lái)越多的垃圾。但是，這一問(wèn)題被我們的“一次性”技術(shù)加劇了。每年美國(guó)人都要扔掉700萬(wàn)輛汽車(chē)、2，000萬(wàn)噸廢紙、2，500萬(wàn)磅牙膏皮和4，800萬(wàn)個(gè)罐子。我們還扔掉口香糖包裝紙、報(bào)紙和紙盤(pán)。再次利用已經(jīng)不再明智了。今天。幾乎所有東西都可以扔掉。比起修一臺(tái)烤箱或收音機(jī)，買(mǎi)一臺(tái)新的、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜，雖然它95%的部件仍可以使用。嬰兒尿布以前用循環(huán)使用的布制成，現(xiàn)在都變成紙質(zhì)的一次性產(chǎn)品了。不久我們就會(huì)穿上紙質(zhì)的衣服：“穿一次就扔掉”將成為流行意識(shí)的口號(hào)。

　　所有這些到什么時(shí)候才能結(jié)束?我們是不是正在把世界變成一個(gè)巨大的垃圾場(chǎng)，或者我們還有沒(méi)有希望解決污染問(wèn)題?幸運(yùn)的是，已經(jīng)有了解決問(wèn)題的辦法，有幾種辦法還十分具有獨(dú)創(chuàng)性。
