　　第二段(分析原因)

　　本段内容概要：人们嫌麻烦，损害某些行业的经济利益，人都自私推卸责任，人们的环保意识不强

　　The primary source of this problem is that environmental protection may bring some inconvenience to individuals’ daily life. In addition to this, efforts to protect the environment will probably damage the economic interests of some industries. Another contributing factor is that the selfishness deeply rooted in human nature is likely to urge individuals to shirk this responsibility to others. Finally, citizens are not motivated to take actual actions for the sake of environmental protection.

　　第三段(解决方案)

　　本段内容概要：加大宣传以提高公民环保意识，制定相关法律来惩罚污染环境的行为，政府应该给高污染企业提供补偿让他们关门

　　In order to overcome this problem, I believe we must strengthen our efforts to publicize the importance of environmental protection and thus promote citizens’ motivation to take actions. It is also necessary for us to enact relevant laws to punish the behaviors of polluting the environment. Another positive step would be to provide those highly polluted industries with compensations for them to close down.
