Question

Переведите пожалуйста текст. England Needs More Rain Those who complain about our weather may be surprised to learn that there are some people in England who want more rain. We certainly have greater amount of water than many other countries, but we don’t get as much as we need. Two or three weeks in the summer without rain and we have problems. The trouble is partly that the rain falls in the wrong place, partly that we can’t store enough of it, and partly that we use much more than we need. Most of Britain’s rain falls in Wales and Scotland, but we need it in the drier South-East England, and Midlands. Of course we store this water and send it to the other parts of the country. Birmingham, for example, the second largest city in England, gets its water from North Wales. But our reservoirs are now a hundred years old and need to be much larger. Both at home and in our factories we use much more water than we did a hundred years ago. It takes 100,000 gallons of water to make one car. Factories at least pay for the water they employ, but in our homes we only pay to have water. After that we can use as much as we want. Finally, what we have left in our rivers is so dirty that we can’t use it. To cope with this problem isn’t simple. First we must find a way of keeping our water clean. Factories needn’t use so much, they must learn to reuse water and go ahead with studying the new ways of using water from the sea.

Answer 1

Те, кто жалуются на наши погоды могут быть удивлены, узнав, что есть люди в Англии, которые хотят больше дождя. Мы, конечно же, имеют большее количество воды, чем во многих других странах, но мы не получаем столько, сколько нам нужно. Две или три недели летом без дождя и мы имеем проблемы. Беда отчасти в том, что дождь сходит в неположенном месте, отчасти, что мы не можем хранить достаточно, и отчасти, что мы используем гораздо больше, чем нам нужно. Большинство из Британии идет дождь в Уэльсе и Шотландии, но мы нуждаемся в нем в более засушливых юго-востоке Англии и Мидлендс. Конечно мы храним эту воду и послать ее в других частях страны. Бирмингем, например, второй по величине город в Англии, получает воду из Северного Уэльса. Но наши водоемы сейчас сто лет, а должны быть намного больше. Как дома, так и на наших заводах мы используем гораздо больше воды, чем мы это делали сто лет назад. Он берет 100,000 галлонов воды, чтобы сделать один автомобиль. Фабрик по крайней мере платить за воду, которую они используют, но в наших домах мы платим только, чтобы иметь воду. После этого мы можем использовать столько, сколько мы хотим. Наконец, что мы оставили в наших реках настолько грязной, что мы не можем использовать его. Справиться с этой задачей не простой. Сначала мы должны найти способ держать нашу воду чистой. Заводы не нужно использовать так много, они должны научиться повторного использования воды и идти вперед с изучения новых способов использования воды из моря.

England Needs More Rain

In England, there are actually some people who want more rain, despite the common complaints about the weather. While England does have a greater amount of water compared to many other countries, it still doesn't receive as much rain as it needs. Just two or three weeks without rain during the summer can cause problems. The issue lies in the fact that the rain often falls in the wrong places, there isn't enough storage capacity, and the country consumes more water than necessary.

Most of Britain's rainfall occurs in Wales and Scotland, but there is a greater need for it in the drier regions of South-East England and the Midlands. Of course, the water is stored and distributed to other parts of the country. For instance, Birmingham, the second-largest city in England, gets its water supply from North Wales. However, the reservoirs in England are now a hundred years old and require expansion to accommodate the growing demand. Moreover, both households and factories consume significantly more water than they did a century ago. In fact, it takes 100,000 gallons of water to produce just one car. While factories pay for the water they use, households only pay for the supply, allowing for unrestricted consumption. Additionally, the water in rivers has become so polluted that it is no longer usable.

Addressing this issue is not a simple task. Firstly, it is imperative to find a way to keep the water clean. Factories can reduce their water usage by adopting water reuse practices and exploring new methods of utilizing seawater. This would help conserve water resources and alleviate the strain on existing supplies.
