时差N小时 制造新臭氧(上)

（单词翻译）

Yael,We're always hearing that the ozone¹ layer is being depleted², and how bad this is because we need it to protect us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

雅艾尔，我们常听说臭氧层正在逐渐消失的消息，这可不是件好事。因为臭氧层保护我们人类免受太阳过量的紫外线侵害。

But I've been thinking, and there has to be a more effective way to restore the ozone layer than just by sitting around not releasing any more harmful chemicals into the air so the ozone has a chance to repair itself.

但是，我一直在考虑，比起不再释放任何有害化学物质到空气中静观其变而言，我们可以采取有效措施修复破坏的臭氧层。

有何高见？制造更多的臭氧层应该不难吧？

we must have a plenty of material.

我们必须有大量的原料。

After all the ozone molecule³ contains three oxygen atoms-and the oxygen molecules⁴ we breathe contain two oxygen atoms, so can't we just use that oxygen to produce a bunch of ozone ourselves and stick it back up in the atmosphere?

毕竟，所有的臭氧分子由三个氧原子组成；我们呼吸的氧分子包含两个氧原子。这样，我们可以自己用氧气制造臭氧，以此替代破坏的臭氧层圈。
