　　文本及疑难解析

　　1.Yeah, though that’s all cities, not just ones on the coast. But most of the biggest cities are actually built by the sea, I’d not realised that before. 是的，是所有的城市，不仅仅是沿海城市(发展快速)。但事实上大多数大城市都是沿海建造的，我以前没有意识到这个。

　　2.Well, as the city expands, agriculture and industry tend to spread further inland along the rivers, and so agriculture moves even further inland up the river. That’s not necessarily a problem, except it means more and more pollutants are discharged into the rivers. 随着城市(规模)扩大，农业、工业沿河向内陆地区发展，所以农业继续转移到内陆河流之上(的区域)。这原本不是个问题，除了越来越多的污染物被排放到河里。necessarily一词直译为“必须地，必要地”，在本句中指农业向内陆的发展不一定是件坏事，除了对河流造成污染，但在中文表达中不必译出。

　　3.Yeah, they spent quite a lot of money on them. But what they didn’t take into account was global warming. So they built the drainage channels too close to sea level, and now sea levels are rising, they’re more or less useless. 是的，他们在这上面(指排水渠)花了不少钱。但他们没考虑到全球变暖，所以排水渠建得太接近于海平面。现在海平面上升，这些沟渠基本没用了。

　　4.No. Really they just need to find the money for something to replace the drainage channels, in order to protect against flooding now. But in the long term they need to consider the whole ecosystem. 不，其实他们只需要找到资金，替换现有的排水渠以避免洪灾，但从长期来看，他们需要考虑到整个生态系统。protect against something 指“保卫……以免受到……”。

　　5.But it’s going to be a long time before countries come to a decision on what principles they’re prepared to abide by. 但让所有的国家对他们准备共同遵守的原则做出决定需要花费很长的时间。abide by 为固定搭配，意为“遵守”。

　　6. We should mention some geographical factors, things like wetlands and river estuaries and coastal erosion and so on. We could have some maps of different cities with these features marked. 我们需要提及一些地理因素，比如沼泽地、河湾和海岸侵蚀等。我们可以有一些标注着这些特征的不同城市的地图。
