Although Taiwan is said to be short of water, when one compares its total annual rainfall of 2500 millimeters with that of many other countries, such as Israel which only gets 600 mm, some others are far worse off. "How can you say Taiwan is short of water?"
雖說台灣是缺水地區，但以每年兩千五百公釐的總雨量而言，許多國家如以色列只有六百公釐，遠遠不如我們，「台灣哪裡算得上是缺水？」
