Sample Sentences
电瓶车跟烧油排废气的摩托车根本不在一个水平上,怎么能放在一起比?虽然它号称是拿一二五机车当对手,但那也是为了给普罗大众一个参考值罢了。
Battery-powered scooters and petrol-burning air polluting motorcycles aren't in the same class. How can you compare them? Although they say that it is a competitor of 125cc scooters, that's really just to give the average man on the street a point of reference.
说的是啊,那些重污染的企业,每天排放那么多污水、废气,把原本的蓝天绿水污染得这么严重,早就该整治了。
That's right, those heavy-polluting firms release so much polluted water and waste gas every day, seriously polluting what was once the blue sky and crystal-clear water, should have been dealt with long ago.
到底环不环保,我看还是仁者见仁,智者见智吧。如果从长远来看,它可能相当绿色;但放在今天,它就不那么绿色了。电动汽车不是烧汽油的,所以它相当绿色,这没错。没有引擎,没有油箱,没有废气排放,它基本上是零排放的。但是如果考虑到汽车对环境的影响,就不能只看排气管了。特斯拉不是靠空气跑动的,它用电,而电来自不同的燃料如核电、天然气、还有最污染环境的煤。
Whether it is environmentally friendly in the end or not, I still think people will have differing viewpoints. If you view it from the long-term, perhaps it is fairly green; but for the present, it isn't that green. Electric cars don't burn gas, so they are quite green. That's true. There is no engine, no gas tank, no exhaust emission. It has basically zero emissions. But if you consider the effect of the car on the environment, you can't just look at exhaust pipes. Tesla doesn't run on air, it uses electricity. And electricity comes from different fuels: for example, nuclear power, natural gas, and coal, which pollutes the environment the most.
