A company is going to give some money either to support the arts or to protect the environment. Which do you think the company should choose? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Deciding between supporting the arts and protecting the environment is a difficult choice to make, but I think I would choose protecting the environment. Arts help to maintain our culture and serve as a source of entertainment. However, we need a healthy environment in order to survive so we must protect it. We need to protect the environment now to help prevent health problems, to maintain the ecosystem, and to preserve the Earth for our children.
在支持艺术和保护环境之间做出决定是一个困难的选择，但我想我会选择保护环境。艺术有助于保持我们的文化，并成为娱乐的源泉。然而，为了生存，我们需要一个健康的环境，所以我们必须保护它。我们现在需要保护环境，以帮助防止健康问题，维护生态系统，并为我们的孩子保护地球。
Pollution from factories and cars can cause damage to the environment. Moreover, pollution causes health problems particularly for children and the elderly who have weaker immune systems. We need to ensure that there are controls on the amount of pollution when possible so as to prevent health problems caused by breathing dirty air.
工厂和汽车的污染会对环境造成损害。此外，污染还会导致健康问题，特别是对免疫系统较弱的儿童和老年人。我们需要确保在可能的情况下控制污染的数量，以防止呼吸脏空气造成的健康问题。
We also need to pay attention to the ecosystem. Trees, plant life, and people all depend on each other. An unhealthy environment can have harmful effects on the ecosystem. For example, if a plant dies because of changes to the environment and that plant is food for a animal, that animal won't have any food. If humans use that animal as a food source, there could be big problems.
我们还需要关注生态系统。树木、植物和人都相互依赖。不健康的环境会对生态系统产生有害影响。例如，如果一种植物因为环境的变化而死亡，而这种植物是动物的食物，那么这种动物就不会有任何食物。如果人类把这种动物作为食物来源，可能会有很大的问题。
If we do not respect our environment now, it will continue to get worse and our children will suffer the consequences. They would not have the same quality of air to breathe or natural beauty to admire. That would be sad.
如果我们现在不尊重我们的环境，它将继续恶化，我们的孩子将承受后果。他们不会有同样的空气质量呼吸或自然美景欣赏。如果没有干净的空气呼吸，没有健康的生态系统，没有我们孩子的未来，人类将无法生存。这就是为什么保护我们的环境是重要的。如果我们有一个健康的环境，我们有健康的孩子，他们将能够参与和欣赏艺术
Without clean air to breathe, a healthy ecosystem, and a future for our children, the human race would not survive. That's why protecting our environment is important. If we have a healthy environment, we have healthy children who will be able to participate and appreciate the arts.
