杰茜：我是杰茜。我们两个来自英国。

Tom: The environment is a big issue at the moment. Jess, do you have any advice how to help the environment?

汤姆：现在环境问题是个严重的问题。杰茜，你对改善环境有什么建议吗？

Jess: Yeah, I think it's really important to remember to turn things off, so when you're brushing your teeth, there's not need to keep the tap running all the time, and remember to turn off lights and air-conditioning units when you leave the room. How about you, Tom, any advice?

杰茜：有。我认为真正重要的是要记得切断供应，比如刷牙时不用一直开着水龙头，在离开房间时要记得关灯还有关掉空调。你呢，汤姆，你有什么建议吗？

Tom: Well, that's good to know, I think new technology is helping people to protect the environment more and more. For examples, computers mean that we use less paper, and there are all kinds of things coming off the market that stop us from using quite so many resources.

汤姆：谢谢你的提醒，我认为新技术会帮助人们更好地保护环境。比如，用电脑办公意味着我们会减少纸张的使用，进入市场的各种新技术使我们得以减少资源的使用量。

Jess: Absolutely.

杰茜：完全正确。
