Jessica, we're been waiting for you!
杰西卡，我们一直在等你！
Sorry, I'm late for dinner, dad. I was looking at the website for a great organization called Living Green.
对不起，爸爸，我晚饭迟到了。我在看一个叫“绿色生活”的伟大组织的网站。
Living Green? What does that mean? I don't even like that colour.
绿色生活？什么意思？我甚至不喜欢绿色。
It means taking responsibility for protecting the earth. We had a guest speaker today in the science class, and he mentioned some simple ways to reduce our energy use and protect the earth.
它的意思是要承担保护地球的责任。我们今天的科学课上有一位特邀演说家，他提到了一些减少能源使用和保护地球的简单方法。
Like what?
比如说呢？
OK, well, first of all, he said we should cut down on driving. So we'd better walk, ride bicycle, or take public transportation.
好的，嗯，首先，他说我们应该少开车。所以我们最好步行、骑自行车，或者乘坐公共交通工具。
I would do those things if I could.
那些事情如果我能做，我会做的。
Another idea was to turn off unnecessary lights. Look at this house -- lights on in every room! He also advised us to wash our clothes in cold water.
另一个办法是关掉不用的灯。看看这所房子——每个房间的灯都亮着！他还建议我们用冷水洗衣服。
Cool! I never realized how simple it could be to ... What did you call it? Live Green?
酷！我从来没有想过它会这么简单……你叫它什么？绿色生活吗？
Yeah! The speaker said that if everyone did even one of these things every day, it would do a lot to reduce global warming.
是啊！那位演说家说，如果每个人每天都只做其中的一件事就能大大地减少全球变暖。
I agree. That will also save money on the electric bill.
我同意。那样还能节省电费。
