◇ For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs”, instead of requesting, “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.
例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs（直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油）”，而不是要求说，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis（请直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油）”，你就可以轻易地辨认出他的美国人身份，而后者却暗示着那是一位英国人。（请注意：elevator是美式说法而lift是英式说法)

◇ "Our impact on the climate is tied up with population in lots of different ways — what resources people are using, how much industrial production is going on, how much energy is needed for heating, cooling and transportation," Amy Snover, director of the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group, said. "All of these things affect greenhouse gas emissions, so the more people we have and the more resources we use, the harder it will be to cope with the risks and impacts of climate change."
华盛顿大学气候影响小组主任艾米·斯诺弗说：“我们对气候的影响在很多方面都与人口息息相关。人们使用了什么资源，在进行多少工业生产，需要多少能源用于取暖、制冷和运输。所有这些都影响到温室气体的排放，所以人口越多，使用的资源越多，就越难以应对气候变化的风险和影响。”
