Daniel喝的是自來水，但Alex喝的是礦泉水

Alex is certain that he has been drinking clean and well inspected water.

Alex非常確定他喝的是乾淨經審查的瓶裝水

But what he doesn’t know is that he and Daniel drink the same water.

但是，他不知道的是，他和Daniel同樣都是喝自來水

Daniel喝的水是免費來自水龍頭

while Alex pays 2$ a bottle! Why does Alex choose to pay?

而Alex喝的瓶裝水一瓶則要2塊美金！為什麼Alex要買瓶裝水呢？

礦泉水製造商為他們的瓶裝礦泉水註冊商標，而且

convinced the public that mineral water is healthier, but in most of the world,

說服大眾，他們的礦泉水更健康。但，在世界上的大部分國家中

tap water is similar to mineral water and even safer. Bottled water, therefore,

自來水與礦泉水很相似，甚至更安全。故瓶裝水

is more expensive and is not healthier. But there are few things that Alex does not take into account,

相較更為昂貴和不健康。而且Alex還有幾件事情忽略了

such as: Production of mineral water harms the environment.

像是：生產出的瓶裝水會對環境造成不良的影響

Natural springs dry out. Bottles are made of oil-derived substances.

天然泉水的乾枯。寶特瓶是由石油物質提煉而成

Transportation of bottles and huge waste that pollutes the environment.

運送瓶裝水和大量的廢物汙染了環境
