The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850, is an American novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and is generally considered to be his magnum opus. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who gives birth after committing *****ery, refuses to name the father, and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne explores questions of grace, legali**, sin and guilt.

The Scarlet Letter. Painting by T. H. Matteson. This 1860 oil-on-canvas was made under Hawthorne's personal supervision.[1]

The novel begins in 17th-century Boston, Massachusetts, then a Puritan settlement. A young woman, Hester Prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter in her arms and the scarlet letter “A” on her bosom. The scarlet letter "A" represents the act of *****ery that she has committed and it is to be a symbol of her sin – a badge of shame – for all to see. A man in the crowd tells an elderly onlooker that Hester is being punished for *****ery. Hester's hu**and, who is much older than she is, sent her ahead to America while he settled some affairs in Europe. However, her hu**and never arrived in Boston. The consensus is that he has been lost at sea. While waiting for her hu**and, Hester has apparently had an affair, as she has given birth to a child. She will not reveal her lover’s identity, however, and the scarlet letter, along with her public shaming, is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy. On this day Hester is led to the town scaffold and harangued by the town fathers, but she again refuses to identify her child’s father.[1]

The elderly onlooker is Hester’s missing hu**and, who is now practicing medicine and calling himself Roger Chillingworth. He settles in Boston, intent on revenge. He reveals his true identity to no one but Hester, whom he has sworn to secrecy. Several years pass. Hester supports herself by working as a seamstress, and Pearl (her daughter) grows into a willful, impish child, who is more of a symbol than an actual character, said to be the scarlet letter come to life as both Hester's love and her punishment. Shunned by the community, they live in a **all cottage on the outskirts of Boston. Community officials attempt to take Pearl away from Hester, but, with the help of Arthur Dimmesdale, an eloquent minister, the mother and daughter manage to stay together. Dimmesdale, however, appears to be wasting away and suffers from mysterious heart trouble, seemingly caused by psychological distress. Chillingworth attaches himself to the ailing minister and eventually moves in with him so that he can provide his patient with round-the-clock care. Chillingworth also suspects that there may be a connection between the minister’s torments and Hester’s secret, and he begins to test Dimmesdale to see what he can learn. One afternoon, while the minister sleeps, Chillingworth discovers something undescribed to the reader, supposedly an "A" burned into Dimmesdale's chest, which convinces him that his suspicions are correct.[1]

Dimmesdale’s psychological anguish deepens, and he invents new tortures for himself. In the meantime, Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community. One night, when Pearl is about seven years old, she and her mother are returning home from a visit to the deathbed of John Winthrop when they encounter Dimmesdale atop the town scaffold, trying to punish himself for his sins. Hester and Pearl join him, and the three link hands. Dimmesdale refuses Pearl’s request that he acknowledge her publicly the next day, and a meteor marks a dull red “A” in the night sky. It is interpreted by the townsfolk to mean Angel, as a prominent figure in the community had died that night, but Dimmesdale sees it as meaning Adultery. Hester can see that the minister’s condition is worsening, and she resolves to intervene. She goes to Chillingworth and asks him to stop adding to Dimmesdale’s self-torment. Chillingworth refuses. She suggests that she may reveal his identity to Dimmesdale.[1]

Hester arranges an encounter with Dimmesdale in the forest because she is aware that Chillingworth knows that she plans to reveal his identity to Dimmesdale, and she wishes to protect him. While walking through the forest, the sun will not shine on Hester, though Pearl can bask in it. They then wait for Dimmesdale, and he arrives. The former lovers decide to flee to Europe, where they can live with Pearl as a family. They will take a ship sailing from Boston in four days. Both feel a sense of release, and Hester removes her scarlet letter and lets down her hair. The sun immediately breaks through the clouds and trees to illuminate her release and joy. Pearl, playing nearby, does not recognize her mother without the letter. She is unnerved and expels a shriek until her mother points out the letter on the ground. Hester beckons Pearl to come to her, but Pearl will not go to her mother until Hester buttons the letter back onto her dress. Pearl then goes to her mother. Dimmesdale gives Pearl a kiss on the forehead, which Pearl immediately tries to wash off in the brook, because he again refuses to make known publicly their relationship. However, he too clearly feels a release from the pretense of his former life, and the laws and sins he has lived with.

The day before the ship is to sail, the townspeople gather for a holiday and Dimmesdale preaches his most eloquent sermon ever. Meanwhile, Hester has learned that Chillingworth knows of their plan and has booked passage on the same ship. Dimmesdale, leaving the church after his sermon, sees Hester and Pearl standing before the town scaffold. He impulsively mounts the scaffold with his lover and his daughter, and confesses publicly, exposing the mark supposedly seared into the flesh of his chest. He falls dead just after Pearl kisses him.[1]

Frustrated in his revenge, Chillingworth dies a year later. Hester and Pearl leave Boston, and no one knows what has happened to them. Many years later, Hester returns alone, still wearing the scarlet letter, to live in her old cottage and resume her charitable work. She receives occasional letters from Pearl, who was rumored to have married an European aristocrat and established a family of her own. Pearl also inherits all of Chillingworth's money even though he knows she is not his daughter. There is a sense of liberation in her and the townspeople, especially the women, who had finally begun to forgive Hester of her tragic indiscretion. When Hester dies, she is buried in "a new grave near an old and sunken one, in that burial ground beside which King's Chapel has since been built. It was near that old and sunken grave, yet with a space between, as if the dust of the two sleepers had no right to mingle. Yet one tombstone served for both." The tombstone was decorated with a letter "A", and it was used for Hester and Dimmesdale.

[edit] Major themes

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne

[edit] Sin

Sin and knowledge are linked in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The Bible begins with the story of Adam and Eve, who were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. As a result of their knowledge, Adam and Eve are made aware of their disobedience, that which separates them from the divine and from other creatures. Once expelled from the Garden of Eden, they are forced to toil and to procreate – two “labors” that seem to define the human condition. The experience of Hester and Dimmesdale recalls the story of Adam and Eve because, in both cases, sin results in expulsion and suffering. But it also results in knowledge – specifically, in knowledge of what it means to be human. For Hester, the scarlet letter functions as “her passport into regions where other women dared not tread,” leading her to “speculate” about her society and herself more “boldly” than anyone else in New England.[2]

As for Dimmesdale, the “cheating minister” of his sin gives him “sympathies so intimate with the sinful brotherhood of mankind, so that his heart vibrate[s] in unison with theirs.” His eloquent and powerful sermons derive from this sense of empathy.[2] The narrative of the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is quite in keeping with the oldest and most fully authorized principles in Christian thought. His "Fall" is a descent from apparent grace to his own damnation; he appears to begin in purity. He ends in corruption. The subtlety is that the minister is his own deceiver, convincing himself at every stage of his spiritual pilgrimage that he is saved.[3]

The rosebush, its beauty a striking contrast to all that surrounds it – as later the beautifully embroidered scarlet A will be – is held out in part as an invitation to find “some sweet moral blossom” in the ensuing, tragic tale and in part as an image that “the deep heart of nature” (perhaps God) may look more kindly on the errant Hester and her child (the roses among the weeds) than do her Puritan neighbors. Throughout the work, the nature images contrast with the stark darkness of the Puritans and their systems.[4]

Chillingworth’s misshapen body reflects (or symbolizes) the evil in his soul, which builds as the novel progresses, similar to the way Dimmesdale's illness reveals his inner turmoil. The outward man reflects the condition of the heart.[4]

Although Pearl is a complex character, her primary function within the novel is as a symbol. Pearl herself is the embodiment of the scarlet letter, and Hester rightly clothes her in a beautiful dress of scarlet, embroidered with gold thread, just like the scarlet letter upon Hester's bosom. [2] Parallels can be drawn between Pearl and the character Beatrice in Rappaccini's Daughter. Both are studies in the same direction, though from different standpoints. Beatrice is nourished upon poisonous plants, until she herself becomes poisonous. Pearl, in the mysterious prenatal world, imbibes the poison of her parents' guilt.

[edit] Past and present

The clashing of past and present is explored in various ways. For example, the character of the old General, whose heroic qualities include a distinguished name, perseverance, integrity, compassion, and moral inner strength, is said to be “the soul and spirit of New England hardihood.” Now put out to pasture, he sometimes presides over the Custom House run by corrupt public servants, who skip work to sleep, allow or overlook **uggling, and are supervised by an inspector with “no power of thought, nor depth of feeling, no troublesome sensibilities,” who is honest enough but without a spiritual compass.[4]

Hawthorne himself had ambivalent feelings about the role of his ancestors in his life. In his autobiographical sketch, Hawthorne described his ancestors as “dim and dusky,” “grave, bearded, sable-cloaked, and steel crowned,” “bitter persecutors” whose “better deeds” would be diminished by their bad ones. There can be little doubt of Hawthorne’s disdain for the stern morality and rigidity of the Puritans, and he imagined his predecessors’ disdainful view of him: unsuccessful in their eyes, worthless and disgraceful. “A writer of story books!” But even as he disagrees with his ancestor’s viewpoint, he also feels an instinctual connection to them and, more importantly, a “sense of place” in Salem. Their blood remains in his veins, but their intolerance and lack of humanity becomes the subject of his novel.[4]

[edit] Public response

The Scarlet Letter was published in the spring of 1850 by Ticknor Fields, beginning Hawthorne's most lucrative period.[5] When he delivered the final pages to James Thomas Fields in February 1850, Hawthorne said that "some portions of the book are powerfully written" but doubted it would be popular.[6] In fact, the book was an instant best-seller[7] though, over fourteen years, it brought its author only $1,500.[5] Its initial publication brought wide protest from natives of Salem, who did not approve of how Hawthorne had depicted them in his introduction "The Custom-House". A 2,500-copy second edition of The Scarlet Letter included a preface by Hawthorne dated March 30, 1850, that he had decided to reprint his introduction "without the change of a word... The only remarkable features of the sketch are its frank and genuine good-humor... As to enmity, or ill-feeling of any kind, personal or political, he utterly disclaims such motives".[8]

The book's immediate and lasting success are due to the way it addresses spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, *****ery was an extremely risqué subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius; dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.[9]

The Scarlet Letter was also one of the first mass-produced books in America. Into the mid-nineteenth century, bookbinders of home-grown literature typically hand-made their books and sold them in **all quantities. The first mechanized printing of The Scarlet Letter, 2,500 volumes, sold out within ten days,[5] and was widely read and discussed to an extent not much experienced in the young country up until that time. Copies of the first edition are often sought by collectors as rare books, and may fetch up to around $6,000 USD.

On its publication, critic Evert Augustus Duyckinck, a friend of Hawthorne, said he preferred the author's Washington Irving-like tales. Another friend, critic Edwin Percy Whipple, objected to the novel's "morbid intensity" with dense psychological details, writing that the book "is therefore apt to become, like Hawthorne, too painfully anatomical in his exhibition of them".[10] 20th century writer D. H. Lawrence said that there could be no more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter.[11]

Mother's Love

Wang Yuan

My dear friends：

Do you know what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the

world?

Money? You may lose everything you have if you do not use money

carefully enough. Youth? In one?'s long life youth is like a flash

in the pan and no one in the world has the secret to keep his youth

forever. Beautiful look? Many people pray that they can get hold of

beauty, but it disappears far more quickly than they can imagine.

And when they are in real trouble beauty itself feels helpless. A

good job? As you grow older and your brain and hands cannot work as

fast as before, it will become other people?'s wealth.

Then what is the most precious and ev－erlasting thing in the

world?

When you are far away from your fam－ily and feel especially

lonely, who will you think of? When you stand on the crossroad in

your life and do not know which way to choose, who will you think

of? When you encounter greater difficulties than ever and need

other?'s encouragement, who will you think of? When you decide to

make the greatest decision in your favorite course, who will you

think of? Who gave birth to you? Who brought you up? Who shed

cheer－ful tears when seeing you make achieve－ments? Whose

wholehearted blessing will be always with you no matter how far you

will go?

Yes, it's mother that you will always think of and it's mother's

love that will be always together with you.

I once heard a moving story about a mother. Two children were

drawn into the flood and the situation was very dangerous. Their

mother jumped into the water without the least hesitation. But you

know the moth－er could not swim at all. Jumping into the water means

she might lose her life. But at that time she had no time to think

about herself. She just wanted to try all means to save her

children.

Maybe her courage moved the God. The miracle happened. She finally

succeeded in saving her children one by one. And she, of course,

felt extremely ex－hausted.

My friends, mother's love is the greatest love. Mother's love is

the safest love. No matter you are happy or sorrowful, rich or poor,

mother's love will always stay with you.

Thank you all!

母 爱

你知道什么是世界上最珍贵、最永恒的事物吗？金钱？不！不是！因为即使你腰缠万贯，但如果挥霍无度的话，你也会有不名一文的时候。青春？也不是！在人漫长的一生中，青春如昙花一现，稍纵即逝，世界上谁也没有永葆青春的秘诀。也许你会说美貌，我觉得也不是。尽管很多人都希望美丽常在，可是往往不如人意，况且我们一旦陷入困境时，即使拥有美貌，那也无能为力。那么，一个好的工作应该是了吧？但是，朋友，你应意识到，随着年龄的逐渐增大，我们一天天在衰老，思维呢，不如以前敏捷；手脚呢，也不如人家灵活。这时，你不能胜任那个工作了，即使它再好，也不得不拱手相让。

那么，到底什么才是世界上最珍贵、最永恒的事物呢？

当你远离家乡漂泊异地，倍感孤单寂寞的时候，你会想到谁？当你站在人生的十字路口，迷惘彷徨，不知何去何从时，你会想到谁？当你在挫折和痛苦面前悲观、叹息、失望，急需别人的安慰和鼓励时，你会想到谁？人生道路，需要你做出重大抉择时，你会想起谁？是谁给了你最初的生命，把你带到这个世界，享受多姿多彩的生活？是谁教你说话，教你走路，含辛茹苦把你抚养成人？当你取得成绩时，谁会激动得泪流满面？谁的祝福，无论你走得多远，都会围绕在你身边，直到永远？

是的，种种情况下，你想得最多的就是母亲，因为，你知道也相信，母亲的爱是永远和你在一起的。

我曾听到过这样一个关于母亲的感人故事：两个小孩不幸被卷入洪水中，也许一瞬间他们幼小的生命就将被无情的大水所吞噬。可就在这危急时刻，他们的母亲毫不犹豫地跳进了那正在怒吼着的洪水之中……同学们，洪水是无情的！可更让我们担心的是，这位母亲根本不会游泳！跳入水中也就意味着她可能失去她自己宝贵的生命！但是，那个救孩子心切的母亲根本没有时间去考虑她自己，她心里装的只是那两个孩子，那两个将被洪水夺去生命的孩子，她必须想方设法去抢救他们。也许她的勇气和她那无私的伟大的母爱感动了上帝，奇迹发生了：她竟然成功地把两个小孩的生命从无情的洪水中抢了回来！毫无疑问，与洪水一番搏斗之后，这位母亲也筋疲力尽了。

朋友们，母爱是伟大的，母爱也是最安全的，不管你是快乐还是悲伤，富裕还是贫穷，母亲的爱都将永远和你在一起。

谢谢大家！

简评：向听众提问是演讲者惯用的开始讲演的手段，以期一开场便能吸引听众的注意力。本篇演讲的作者便是利用这一方式提出了“什么是世界上最珍贵、最永恒的事物”这一问题，并对可能的回答逐一进行了分析、辨别和否定，当听众心中疑团顿生之时，八个有序而有力的问题的引导使人心中豁然开朗，如有拨云见日之感：是啊，世界上有什么东西能超越母亲的爱呢？作者还用典型事例更加有力地说明了这一点。

An ideal life in Shekou

FILIPINO Benny S. Respecia has lived in Shekou for more than seven years working as the operations manager for a Shenzhen-based international oil company headquartered in Oman.

“I enjoy the years I have spent here. Shekou is a nice, neat and quiet place where there is always a window for business opportunity and it’s easy to meet new friends,” he said.

“I know almost everybody living here as it is a **all place but there are quite bars and restaurants, which are good and inexpensive.”

Respecia likes hot and spicy food and is a patron of restaurants serving Sichuan or Hunan cuisines.

He was allowed to use a company car last year. “I find the Shenzhen infrastructure is good. The road network is good. It takes me less than 20 minutes to drive from Shekou to downtown Shenzhen,” he said.

He was instrumental in establishing the Shekou Filipino Community in 2000 and has been the community president for the past four years. The community organizes regular activities such as parties, celebrations and sports.

你再自己加上头加点结束语就行了

英语作文带翻译(节约用水,保护森林)

节资源，水慎用

Resource saving, water with caution

水，是生命之源。然而在全世界，有千百万人民面临用水短缺，每年有千百万儿童死于水媒疾病，一些最贫穷的国家遭受周期性干旱之苦。在中国的农村有3000多万人饮水困难，在城市，有400多个城市缺水，严重缺水，严重缺水有110多个，全国缺水量为1600万立方米。

听到这些，你有何感受？

我们不禁想起那句警示名言：如果我们不节约用水，不珍惜宝贵的水资源，那么地球上最后一滴水很可能是我们的眼泪。

We can not help but think of the phrase warning saying: if we don't save water, do not cherish the precious water resource, so the last drop of water on earth is likely to be our tears.

节约用水，保障水资源的可持续利用，是我们共同的事业，也是我们共同的责任。可是，作为新世纪的少年，我们节约用水了吗？

Water conservation, sustainable utilization of water resource, is our common cause, is our common responsibility. But, as the new century, young, we save water?

当你哗啦哗啦洗手时，是否听见水在深深地叹息；

When you came to wash their hands, hear the deep sigh of water;

当你哗啦哗啦洗衣服的时候，是否看见映着蓝天的水伤心地流泪；

When you came to wash clothes, if they could see the blue sky water shed tears of sadness;

当你哗啦哗啦沐浴的时候，是否目睹千万的水珠痛心流逝；

When you came to bathe, whether seen millions of drops painful passage;

当你哗啦哗啦冲厕所的时候，是否听见水的愤怒；

When you came to flush the toilet, hear water anger;

当你走过哗啦啦漏水的水龙头时，是否感觉到那干枯生命焦急的面孔！

When you walk through a crashed a leaking faucet, if it feels that the dry lifeworried face!

水，是生命之源！

Water is the source of life!

是水，让大树挺拔茁壮。

森林与人类息息相关，是人类的亲密伙伴，是全球生态系统的重要组成部分。如果没有森林，陆地上绝大多数的生物会灭绝，绝大多数的水会流入海洋；大气中氧气会减少、二氧化碳会增加；气温会显著升高，水旱灾害会经常发生。森林，还可以改善空气质量，减少泥沙流失，涵养水源，减少风沙危害，减轻噪音污染，美化自然环境等等。

Forest and mankind, is mankind's intimate partners, is an important part of the global ecological system. If there is no forest land, most biological extinction, the vast majority of water will flow into the sea; the oxygen in the atmosphere will reduce, carbon dioxide will increase; the temperature can significantly increased,flood and drought disasters occur frequently. The forest, but also can improve the air quality, reduce soil loss, water conservation, reduce the hazards of sand storms,reduce noise pollution, beautify the environment and so on.

森林的现状，很多人不知道。请看——“无数台拖拉机、推土机隆隆作响，难以数计的树木倒在地上。动物们被吓跑了，成片土地被推平。

The present situation of the forest, a lot of people do not know. Please see --"countless tractors, bulldozers rumbled, countless trees fell to the ground. The animal is scared, plots of land were bulldozed flat.

这就是人类的行为吗？爱护森林吧！行动起来吧！滥砍乱伐森林是人类的愚蠢行为，再不要做这种危害子孙后代的事了。我们一定要保护好现有的森林资源！

This is the human behavior? Love forest! Action bar! Deforestation deforestation forest is human folly, then do not do the harm descendants thing. We must protect the existing forest resources!

让呼吸在绿色中流畅，让土地在根系间凝聚! 今天你吃了森林，明天沙漠就会吃了你。 为子孙后代留下蓝天碧水绿地!

Let the breath flowing in green, let the land to condense on the root! You eat desertforest today, tomorrow will eat you. Left for future generations, blue sky and green land!

让我们一起节约用水！让生命源远流长！

Let us work together to save water! Let life history!

Water is important in our life. As humans we are water and oxygen based organi**s as are many organi**s on earth. Without water we will dehydrate and die.

The earth's crust makes up less than 1% of the earth and all the oceans on the planet are in the earth's crust. Therefore water makes up less than 1% of the earth. "One drop of water is one drop of life." The human body is something like 70% water. We heavily reply on water to survive.

We need to take care of water. As the progress of our society is ongoing more and more pollutants have been released to the water resources such as rivers and oceans. A drop of water is a life. As human being we should take good care of our water; we should save water!

关于如何节约用水的英语作文3

Some people think there's much water on the earth.In fact,there is only a little water for us to use now.If we don't save it,it will surely be used out some day.

Then what should we do?

First,when we finish washing the clothes,we can use the water to clean the floor.Second,if we see the dripping tap,we ought to fix the tap as soon as possible.Third,we can have a shower instead of a bath because having a bath can waste a lot of water.

In these ways,we can save not only huge amounts of water but also ourselves!

Water is very important in our life. We drink it every day and use it to cook and wash things. We can not live without water. But how can we save water? There are several ways to save water. Firstly, take shorter showers and don’t leave the tap running when we don’t need to use water. Secondly, Try to reuse water . It’s the most important way for us to save water. At last, We should not pollute water so that we willl have fresh water for years and years. If we do not save water, the last drop of water will be a teardrop.

We are paying more attention on many environmental problems we made before, one of them is the water emergence. Long time ago, we never noticed that we are in a situation that the water on the earth is less than before, and the consequence is continuing.

Until recently, we have started to acknowledge that we should make the bigger efforts to save water. Therefore, so save water from every single person is important. That is why we should save water at home. If every one of us saves water at home, then the water saved together would be a huge amout. And I have some suggestions following: we could cycle the water we just used them to wash clothes to water the plants or to rush the toilet; when we wash our hands, we could turn the tap off for the moment we put soap on our hands etc.

So if we want to save water sincerely, we could save it at home .

关于如何节约用水的英语作文6

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earth's surf-ace is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this **all amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one **all exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a **all scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴的话。这可能会觉得奇怪，因为你近75的地球表面%，是由水覆盖着。但这一数额约97休格是海水，或咸水%。人只能饮用，使用其他3% - 提供的食水从河流来，湖泊，地下，和其他来源。我们不会使用，因为它的一些即使所有这一切，是在冰山和冰川的形成。更糟的是，其中一些已被污染。

不过，由于今日的情况看来，这少量的淡水，其中存在是由降雨不断更换，可调节为我们足够的。但是，我们对水的需求正在迅速增加 - 阿尔莫一天一天。只有当我们采取措施来处理这个问题，现在我们可以回避一个严重的水资源短缺全球稍后。**供水会对农业和工业产生不良影响。让我给你一个怎样的水要小exampie产业。你知道，生产一吨钢材单，需时约91万公升的水?

我们都必须学会如何停止浪费我们宝贵的水。第一个步骤，我们应该采取一种是开发再利用的方法。实验已经完成在这一领域，但只限于小规模。对我们来说，这只是该系统是重要的航天器。
