From water shortage country to strong water economy country
2021-04-08
当你看到这个照片，你会想到这里是一个曾经严重缺水的国家吗？When you see this picture, do you think this is a country that used to have serious water shortage?有人可能会说，明明能看到大片水域，怎么还说严重缺水呢？Some people may say that if you can see a large area of water, how can you say that there is a serious water shortage?事实是，这里看到的全是海水，不能直接饮用（海水真的不能喝么？），而且这个国家的国土面积60%都是沙漠。The fact is, what we see here is all sea water which is not drinkable, and 60 percent of the country is desert.可就在这样恶劣的环境下，这个从建国到现在，人口增长了10倍的国家，如今不但摆脱了缺水的困境，还源源不断向国外输送高耗水的物资与尖端水处理技术。But in such a harsh environment, this country, whose population has increased 10 times since its establishment, has not only extricated itself from the plight of water shortage, but also continuously transported high water consumption materials and cutting-edge water treatment technologies to foreign countries.This country is the only Jewish country in the world - Israel.犹太民族是个多灾多难的民族，与中国的汉民族一样，同时又是个坚韧不拔，意志坚定的民族。也许正是这样的民族性才能做到逆袭和复兴。The Jewish nation is a disaster stricken nation. Like the Han nationality in China, it is also a nation has perseverance and firm will. Perhaps it is this kind of nationality that can achieve counter attack and rejuvenation.以色列建国之初，国家贫困，连国民基本的生活用水都难以保障。At the beginning of the founding of Israel, the country was poor, and even the basic domestic water supply was difficult to guarantee.中国有个成语叫“开源节流”，出自《荀子·富国》，如今都用来比喻增加收入，节省开支，而其本意其实是开发水源，节制水流。There is a Chinese idiom called "opening up sources and reducing expenditure", which comes from "Xunzi · enriching the country". Nowadays, it is used to describe increasing income and saving expenditure, but its original meaning is to develop water sources and control water flow.Israel has achieved the ultimate goal of "opening up sources and reducing expenditure"!I'll tell you what they did next time!
