綠化我們的城市-Make Our City Greener
From the given chart, we are happy to see that there has been a continuous increase in the average public green land area, It was 2.96 square meters per capita in 1998, and 5 years later it rose to 9.16 square meters per ’s really an amazing change and of great significance. Today Shanghai is known as a “Garden City”.
As a citizen of Shanghai, I’m very proud of the achievements that Shanghai government has made in getting a better environment. And I believe everyone in Shanghai will be encouraged to make more efforts so that in the future our city will become a perfect place to live in. Moreover, more and more tourists will be attracted to visit Shanghai, which is like a big garden. In this case, the tourism of Shanghai will surely be improved. Besides making more money, we can also let more foreigners appreciate the beauty of our city.
After years of efforts, the first process of Shanghai’s environmental improvement project has come to an end. However, a new chapter of Shanghai’s environment project has just begun. And I do believe that Shanghai will become more and more beautiful.
Make Our Cities Greener-城市綠化
Many things have been done and great progress has been made in the greenization of our cities in recent years. Many trees have been planted and much care has been taken of the planted trees. But, in spite of all this, greenization in the cities in China is far from satisfactory coMPA/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>mpared with cities in other countries in the world. For example, the green space for every people in Shanghai is only 2 square meters while that of the people in London exceeds 20 square meters.
We can benefit much from the greenization of our cities. First, trees absorb carbon dioxide which is harmful, but produce oxygen which is essential to human beings. Secondly, with trees all around, our cities will look more beautiful. Thirdly, trees can improve the climate of the cities, making it neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter.
Since we can get so much benefit from making our cities greener, we should spare no effort to do so. We should plant even more trees and take even better care of them while they are growing. Besides, we should not cut down trees any more. In a word, we should do everything to add to the greenization of our cities.
發展綠色城市-To Develop Green Cities
With the development of economy, more and more tall buildings are being built in large and medium-sized cities across the country. In urbanization, however, one thing should not be neglected---environmental protection. It is unscientific to judge a city’s modernization level by the number of high buildings. Recently, a new concept “environmental image” has come into being and become an important criterion with which to evaluate a city.
隨着經濟的發展，越來越多的高樓在全國各大中城市崛地而起。然而，在城市化進程中，有一件事不容忽視，那就是環境保護。憑藉高樓的數量來判斷一座城市的現代化水平是不科學的。最近，一種新的“環境形象”的觀念已經形成並且成為評估一座城市的`重要標準。
The concept stresses that a modern city must have efficient environmental promotion. It must have a proper proportion of green land, clean water and fresh air. To add more greenery to a city, I would like to make the following proposals:
這一觀念強調，一座現代化的城市必須有高效的環保宣傳。綠地、乾淨的水以及新鮮的空氣必須到達一個適當的比例。為了給城市增添更多的綠化，我想提出以下建議：
1. We should popularize “vertical greenery” technique, that is, to plant more green-leaved plants like Boston ivy in densely-located buildings. The roof space of buildings should be used fully to plant flowers, fruits and grasses.
1. 我們應該推廣“垂直綠化”技術，也就是説，在建築密集的地方種植更多的綠色闊葉植物，如波士頓常春藤。我們應該充分利用建築物的屋頂空間，種一些花草和水果。
2. Certain room should be reserved for green belts, green patches in the building of new residential districts and the reconstruction of urban areas.
2.應留有一定空間給綠化帶以及新建住宅小區和重建市區的綠色補丁。
3. Measures should be taken to strengthen people’s awareness of greenery. People should, for example, be encouraged to plant “wedding trees” and “birthday trees”.
3.應該採取一些措施來加強人們的綠化意識。比如，應該鼓勵人們種植“婚禮樹”和“生日樹” 。
