奥克兰用水危机依然严峻,
这件事你敢不敢来挑战?
这名奥克兰男子不穿斗篷,也没有隐秘的身份,但对我们来说他是位真正的英雄。阅读Terry的故事,然后思考一下您如何能够同样成为本地的节水英雄。

He doesn’t wear a cape or have a secret identity but this Aucklander is a true hero in our books. Read Terry’s story and think about how you too can become a local water-saving hero.
在缺水期间保持座驾洁净是个挑战,不过Terry找到了解决办法。
Keeping his car clean during the drought is a challenge, but Terry has it sorted.
“我在淋浴前等待水温升高时用一个桶收集冷水,然后用这些水来洗车。”
“I collect my shower water in a bucket while I’m waiting for it to heat up and I use that to keep my car clean.”
一旦达到了足够的水温,Terry确保将淋浴时间控制在五分钟以内。
Once the shower warms up, Terry makes sure he’s only in it for five minutes.
“在新冠肺炎疫情导致的封城期间,由于我呆在家里,我淋浴的时间甚至更短。”
“During Covid-19 lockdown, I kept my showers even shorter because I was staying at home.”
他的洗衣机有一个只需15分钟的快速洗涤选项,于是他利用这个设置来节约用水。
His washing machine has a quick wash option that only takes 15 minutes and he uses that setting to save water.
“现在我只使用快速洗涤设置。并且因为我使用的餐具不多,我不用洗碗机,而是手动清洗餐具,这样更省水。”
“I only use the quick wash now. And I wash my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher, because I don’t use a lot of dishes and it’s more water-efficient.”
由于居住在公寓内,他没有需要照料的花园,但是他的节水方法也让他种植的两棵室内植物受益。
Living in an apartment means he doesn’t have a garden to look after, but his two house-plants benefit from his water efficiency.
“当我为制作热饮烧开水时,我会在水冷却之后,用水壶里最后的一点水来浇灌植物。”
“When I’ve boiled water to make a hot drink, I use the last bit in the jug to water the plants once it’s cooled down.”
