Last night the news said that in some cities they are thinking of turning off the public water supply during part of each day.
昨晚新闻报道，有些城市正在考虑在一天中一定的时间里关闭公共供水系统。
Mmm... there is a shortage of water here, too. Is there anything we can do to help? Water is so important.
嗯……这里的水资源也短缺啊。
有什么我们可以帮忙的吗？
水真是太重要了！
Sure. There are many things we can do to cut down on the amount of water we use.
肯定的。
我们可以做很多事来减少我们用水的量。
One is to change some of the things in the bathroom.
其中之一就是更换洗手间里的一些东西。
Hmm.... Don't you think changing the bathroom can be too expensive?
嗯……你不觉得改造洗手间的费用会很高吗？
I don't mean to change everything, just.... Well, for instance, the shower head.
我不是说要换掉所有东西，只是……呃，比方说莲蓬头吧。
There are new ones on the market that save almost 50% of the water. They don't cost very much.
市面上有一款能节省将近一半水的莲蓬头。
它们也不是很贵。
Good idea! I read a normal flow for a shower is 20 liters per minute.
好主意！
据我了解，洗一次澡的正常水流是每分钟20升水。
By cutting down that by half, one would consume only 16 liters for a shower.
要是水流减半了的话，一个人洗一次澡只会消耗16升的水。
If we turn off the water while we brush our teeth, that would help, too.
如果我们在刷牙时关掉水龙头的话，那也能节水的。
Right! I wasn't aware it could be that much.
是啊！
我真没想到会浪费掉那么多的水。
There are new toilets that save a lot of water. But it isn't necessary to change them right away.
市面上有一款能节省很多水的新式马桶。
但是没有必要马上就换上它们。
We don't need to change them.
我们没必要换上它们。
By placing one or two brakes in the tank to take up some of the space, the amount of water flowing into the tank will be reduced.
在水箱里放上一两个水闸来占用一些空间，这样流进水箱的水量就会减少。
That sounds great!
好主意！
