我喜欢读塞涅卡的作品,因为这些书中弘扬的正是我的家庭教育所推崇的精神不追名琢利,过简单,诚实,体面的生活。

地球的水只有不到3%是淡水,并且大部分被冻在雪地和冰川中,不容易获取。
Less than 3% of water on earth is fresh water,and the bulk of this is trapped in snowfields and glaciers and not easily accessible.
...但不幸的是,许多因素严重干扰了淡水的流动和使用,使地球的许多地区出现面积的危机。
...but unfortunately,many factors have caused a major upset in the flow and use of fresh water and have caused massive crises in many regions of the earth.

This means if we do nothing in terms of preserving and using water wisely,it is only a matter of time before all regions begin to experience water crises and all the repercussions that come with it.

我最害怕的事情莫过于一觉醒来,没有一个程序可以帮我给那些没有资源的人、那些贫穷、文盲和身患绝症的人带来一点快乐。

我们可以成为不同的人,我们甚至可以获得两个学位。自我教育是给我们自由最有力的武器的一种方式。
We could come out as different men,and we could even come out with two degrees.Educating ourselves was a way to give ourselves the most powerful weapon for freedom.
