水是生命之源，世界上所有生物都离不开水，因此我们要好好珍惜水资源。而人类更需要节约用水，由于我们对水的需求实在是太大了。每个人的体内有70%是水，而假如人长时间不喝水，就会因缺水而导致死亡。水对我们如此重要，我们更需要节约用水，保护水资源了。
Water is the source of life. All living things in the world cannot live without water. Therefore, we should cherish water resources. And people need to save more water, because our demand for water is too big. 70% of everyone's body is water. If people don't drink water for a long time, they will die because of lack of water. Water is so important to us. We need to save water and protect water resources.
但有的人却认为不需要节约用水，由于水太多了，都给我们带来了伤害！就比如前些天北京的大暴雨，不仅给我们出行带来了困扰，还威胁到了我们的生命。有的人被水冲走了；有的人由于水漫过了车子而在车内窒息死亡；有的人则由于救人而光荣牺牲了。水这么多，都产生了危害，我们为什么还要珍惜它呢？事实上，水有好几类，但人类可利用的水只占所有水资源的2%左右，淡水资源严重缺失。因此，我们依然要节约用水，尽管有时候水给我们造成了伤害。
But some people don't think it's necessary to save water. Because there are too many water, they have brought us harm! For example, the heavy rain in Beijing a few days ago not only bothered our travel, but also threatened our lives. Some people were washed away by the water; some people suffocated in the car because the water overflowed the car; some people died in glory because of saving people. With so much water, there are hazards. Why should we cherish it? In fact, there are several types of water, but only about 2% of all water resources are available to human beings, and fresh water resources are seriously lacking. Therefore, we still need to save water, although sometimes water causes us harm.
那我们又该如何节约用水呢？在日常生活中，有很多的小窍门能帮到我们。比如：洗菜、洗衣服的水能留下来冲厕所；洗手洗脸的水能留下来涮拖把、拖地；淘米水用来浇灌花草等等。而当我们面临水的灾害时，一定要学会自救。比如：下雨时躲雨不要在树下；大水来临一定要往高处跑；假如发大水，有救生衣或游泳圈一定要及时穿上等等。这些方法都能很好的保护到我们，让我们镇定的应对灾害。
How can we save water? In our daily life, there are many tips that can help us. For example: the water for washing vegetables and clothes can be left to wash the toilet; the water for washing hands and faces can be left to wash mop and mop the floor; the water for washing rice can be used to water flowers and plants, etc. When we are faced with water disaster, we must learn to save ourselves. For example: when it rains, don't stay under the trees; when the water comes, you must run high; if there is heavy water, you must put on your life jacket or swimming ring in time, etc. These methods can protect us well and let us deal with disasters calmly.
水是我们的朋友，节约用水、保护环境是我们每个人的责任。假如我们浪费水资源、破坏环境，那么世界上的最后一滴水将是我们的眼泪。因此，从小事做起，珍惜身边的每一滴水，让这个世界变得更加美好
Water is our friend. It's everyone's responsibility to save water and protect the environment. If we waste water resources and destroy the environment, the last drop of water in the world will be our tears. Therefore, start with small things, cherish every drop of water around you, and make the world a better place
