Module 6 Unit 4
People
often
refer
to
poverty
as
lack
of
money
and
food
or
being
in
possession
of
nothing
valuable.
We
may
have
read
many
descriptions
of
remote
mountainous
areas
in
primitive
condition, where
people obtain water only by means of digging
wells. Children cannot get hold of
safe
shelter but study in a muddy and crowded wooden
houses, which have been vacant for years.
In addition, damp weather has left the
area in chaos, making it easy for bacteria to
spread. Many
people fall victim to it.
人们常常认为贫穷是缺钱缺粮，
或者
没有值钱的财产。
我们可能读过大量的关于还处在原始
状态下的
偏远山区的描述。
那儿的人只能靠挖井来取水。
孩子们没有安全
的住所，
只能在充
满泥泞的拥挤的木房子里学习，
这些房子已经空置很多年了。
而且，
潮湿的天气使得
该地区
狼藉一片，导致细菌很容易传播。很多人成为它的受害者。
It is urgent that we
should remind people to contribute to our charity
and d
raw the government’s
attention
to
provide
equal
rights
for
those
suffering
starvation.
First,
it
is
worthwhile
to
encourage people to acquire a good
knowledge of environmental protection. They can
grow fruit
trees and fetch a good price
by exporting fruit to other areas. They can also
take the alternative
of setting up
ecology-friendly villages. Second, more volunteers
are in need. For example, without
wage,
we
have
been
doing
the
voluntary
and
worthy
work.
Our
colleagues
and
other
staff,
including assistants, make a commitment
to relieve the local people from the troublesome
pain,
such as providing heating for
them.
紧迫的是，
我们要提醒
人们向我们的慈善组织捐钱，
吸引政府的注意力来给遭受饥饿的人们
提供平等的权利。首先，
鼓励人们充分掌握环保知识。他们可以种果树，出口到其它
地区来
卖得好价格。他们也可以选择成立生态环保村庄。第二，需要更多的志愿者。例如
，我们就
在没有薪水的情况下，
一直在做义务的却很有意义的工
作。
我们的同事和其它员工，
包括助
手
，都承诺让当地人摆脱疾苦，例如，给他们供热。
Of course, local accent is a big
barrier to understanding each other without an
interpreter. Luckily,
the project under
the umbrella of the local government expands
quickly. When we think back to
the
difficulty we have in starting our project, we
feel that every one can make a big difference to
others. If only more and more
volunteers joined in our cause!
当然，
没有翻译员的话，
当地的口音也是彼此了解的
一大障碍。幸运的是，
这项政府支持保
护的事业拓展迅速。
当我们回想起成立我们这个项目的困难时，
我们感觉每个人都能对他
人
有莫大的影响。但愿越来越多的志愿者加入我们的事业。
