何凯文2020考研每日一句来了，这是何凯文老师第8年的坚持，从元宵节开始一直到考前，跟着何凯文老师一起坚持学习起来，下面是湖北文都考研小编为大家整理的何凯文每日一句第32句!

今天的句子：

The country is facing the ‘‘jaws of death”, Sir James Bevan said, at the point where water demand from the country’s rising population surpasses the falling supply resulting from climate change. However, this could be avoided with ambitious action to cut people’s water use by a third and leakage from water company pipes by 50%, he says, along with big new reservoirs and transfers of water across the country.

思考题一：

Jaws of death refers to the water crisis facing the country.

(T or F )

思考题二：

Transfers of water across the country is an effective initiative to avoid the looming crisis.

(T or F)

来看看词汇：

1.jaws of death　死亡之口，鬼门关

2. surpass 超越

3. along with= and

4. reservoir 水库

5. transfer (名词)调配

6.face 这个词的用法还记得吧!

7. initiative 手段

8. looming 可能的，若隐若现的=possible

第一句：

参考译文：詹姆斯·贝文爵士说，英国正面临”鬼门关”，即人口增长引发的水需求量超过了气候变化导致的下降的水供应量。

第二句：

结构：

A could be avoided with B, along with C and D

A 可以通过BC和D来避免;

B=ambitious action to cut people’s water use by a third and leakage from water company pipes by 50%

C=big new reservoirs

D=transfers of water across the country

参考译文：但是，他说通过有力的行动可以避免这种情况，比如削减人们三分之一的用水量和减少50%的水力公司管道泄漏，还可以建设新的大型水库和水资源跨区域输送。

所以思考题一：

Jaws of death refers to the water crisis facing the country.

死亡之口是指该国面临的水危机。

正确!

Transfers of water across the country is an effective initiative to avoid the looming crisis.

在全国范围内调配水资源是避免可能的危机的有效举措。

正确!

文章来源和背景：

今天的文章来自卫报，水资源危机是全球性的问题，请爱护水资源!

25年之内英国将水资源短缺。
