Question

求翻译...

Judy is collecting some facts for a class project on pollution.She is interviewing Doctor Ray,a scientist,about trees.

Why are you so interesed in trees,Doctor Ray?

They're the biggest and oldest living things on Earth,Judy.

But what are they useful for?

Many things.For example,the wood in your pencil,the rubber on the end of your pencil,and the paper in your notebook all come from trees.Also,do you enjoy breathing fresh air?

Of course.

Then you must thank trees for that,too.Trees are natural air conditioners.They cool the air and clean it.Three trees can do the job of 15 air contioners.

You know a lot about trees,Doctor.

Not really.Scientists are only now beginning to understand them.For example,when insects attack a tree,it can warn its neighbous.The other trees then produce a chemical to make their leaves taste bad to protect themselves.Some trees can also join their roots together underground,and pass each other food and water.Trees are communiacting with one another,but we don't know how.

Are trees in danger?

Yes,they are in great danger.We cut down and burn alot of trees every year.We are destroying our best fighters against pollution.

Answer 1

Judy is collecting some facts for a class project on pollution.She is interviewing Doctor Ray,a scientist,about trees.
茱蒂正在为课堂上一个关于污染问题的研究项目在搜集材料。她正就关于树木方面的问题和一位科学家睿博士进行访谈。
Why are you so interesed in trees,Doctor Ray?
您为何对（研究）树木如此感兴趣，睿博士？
They're the biggest and oldest living things on Earth,Judy.
茱蒂，它们可是地球上最大和最老的生物啊。
But what are they useful for?
那它们都有些什么用途呢？
Many things.For example,the wood in your pencil,the rubber on the end of your pencil,and the paper in your notebook all come from trees.Also,do you enjoy breathing fresh air?
很多呀。比如说你铅笔中的木料、铅笔末端那些橡皮，还有笔记本里的那些纸张都来自于树木。此外，你喜欢呼吸新鲜空气不？
Of course.
当然啊。
Then you must thank trees for that,too.Trees are natural air conditioners.They cool the air and clean it.Three trees can do the job of 15 air contioners.
那你也必须要感谢树木呢。树木是天然的空气调节器。它们能降温还能净化空气。三棵树就能完成15部空调做到的工作。
You know a lot about trees,Doctor.
您对树木知道的可真多啊，博士。
Not really.Scientists are only now beginning to understand them.For example,when insects attack a tree,it can warn its neighbous.The other trees then produce a chemical to make their leaves taste bad to protect themselves.Some trees can also join their roots together underground,and pass each other food and water.Trees are communiacting with one another,but we don't know how.
其实不然。科学家们现在才刚开始了解它们。举个例子吧，当一棵树被昆虫攻击时，它会警告它的伙伴（邻居）们。其它的树就会制造（释放）一些化学物质使它们的叶子比较难吃，进而保护它们自己（免于昆虫之攻击）。有些树木还能在地面下通过连结它们的根部彼此间传递食物（养分）和水分。树木之间相互能传递信息的，只不过我们不懂是怎么办到的。
Are trees in danger?
树木存在什么危机吗？
Yes,they are in great danger.We cut down and burn alot of trees every year.We are destroying our best fighters against pollution.
是的，它们有很大的危机。我们每年砍伐和烧毁许多树木。我们正在摧毁（大自然中）对抗污染最有力的战士啊。

Answer 2

Judy正在为一个关于污染的课堂题目收集实例。她正在采访一个科学家—Ray先生，关于树木的问题。
为什么你对树木这么感兴趣呢，Ray先生？
Judy它们是地球上最大最古老的生物。
但是它们用来干什么呢？
