Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other products.
They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people haven't realized the importance of trees.
They cut them down at will.
They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees.
As a result, the forests continue to disappear.
Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods,
and carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well.
When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.
The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good lesson.
So every one of us must love trees, protect forests,
and keep on planting trees each year.
树木是非常有用的人。他们向我们提供木材和其他产品。他们给我们阴凉,他们帮助阻止干旱和洪水。
不幸的是,在很多地方,以期对我国的人没有意识到树的重要性。他们砍倒。他们通常是懒惰的植物,或是太不小心照顾新树。作为结果,森林继续消失。
那里没有树木雨点落在表面,造成洪水,并带走了丰富的表层土壤中,庄稼长得很好。当所有的表土已经存在,但一文不值的废弃。
1998年的大洪水,在中国的部分,已经告诉我们一个很好的教训。所以我们每一个人都必须爱护树木、保护森林,并保持在每年种植树木。
