四六級翻譯預測練習：空氣污染

空氣污染

空氣污染是中國當前面臨的一個嚴重的環境問題。2012年以來，北京、上海、重慶、香港等多個城市被霧霾籠罩，在2013年的最後幾個月中，東部地區也受大霧天氣影響，多地能見度不到100米，空氣污染指數一度達到了危險級別。霧霾天氣會對人們的健康和當地的經濟發展造成極大影響。其中最令人擔憂的是PM2.5。造成霧霾的主要原因是工業化進程的加速，極端低溫天氣與區域污染也使得空氣污染更爲嚴重。

參考譯文：

Air pollution is a severe environmental problem that China is confronted with currently. Since 2012,smog hangs heavy over cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Hong Kong. During the last few months in 2013,the Easter part of China was also hit by the heavy smog with a dropped visibility of less than 100 meters in some regions, where air pollution reached hazardous levels. Smog has great impact on people's health and the local economy. Of particular concern is PM2.5.The root cause of the smog is the acceleration of the industrialization, while the accompanied extreme low temperature and regional pollution also contribute to the worse pollution.
