雅虎网友讨论澳大利亚农场旱灾 （图+评论）第一部分 [美国媒体]

The worst drought in living memory is sweeping parts of eastern Australia, leaving farmers struggling to cope and asking questions about their future. While the weather has improved in parts of Western Australia, winter rain has gone missing across much of the country’s east, leaving farmers praying for rain after planting seed in dry soil or culling cattle and sheep they can no longer afford to feed. About 99 percent of the state – which accounts for a quarter of Australia’s agricultural output by value – is now officially in drought. (Reuters)


记忆中最严重的干旱是澳大利亚东部的一部分地区，农民正在努力应对干旱并思考他们的未来。虽然西澳大利亚部分地区的天气有所改善，但该国东部大部分地区的冬季降雨已经消失，农民们只能在干燥的土壤中种植种子并宰杀他们无法喂养的牛羊，他们祈祷天能下雨。澳大利亚大约99％的州 （占澳大利亚农业产值的四分之一 ） 目前正处于干旱状态。（路透社）

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. I guess we've finally reached that time and place where water desalination is mandatory regardless of the cost.

到处都是水资源问题，一滴水都不够了。我想我们是时候强制海水淡化了，无论成本如何

I must have counted at least 1/2 dozen lush, green golf courses in the 30 miles around Gunnedah on aerial photos. Maybe it's time to stop watering them and make sure farmers have enough, eh?

我确信航空照片干旱的冈尼达周围30英里的至少1到2个郁郁葱葱的绿色高尔夫球场。也许现在是时候停止给球场浇水，以确保农民有足够的水，不是吗？
