We have also been able to watch on our televisions this month what appears to be the final stages in the battle to cap the huge oil spill off the coast of Florida and Louisiana. Will this environmental disaster persuade Americans to look harder at their incontinent use of energy?
本月我们还可以通过电视看到美国佛罗里达和路易斯安那州海岸特大原油泄漏事故的最后封堵阶段。但这场环境灾难是否能说服美国人认真思考自身过度的能源消耗？是否会令他们减少对汽车和空调的热爱？对此我深表怀疑。
