英语翻译
The most precious fluid on earth is not oil,but water.Water is basic to life and health.A person can survive several days or even weeks without food,but only a short time without water.Over 1 billion people worldwide have no access to safe drinking water.There are few challenges as important as conserving the world's usable water and supplying clean drinking water and water for irrigation to those who need it.Yet this work is not getting done.Humans are depleting the earth's store of usable water at a rate that will soon threaten our food supply.Poor water management already kills millions of people a year and condemns hundreds of millions to hunger.
The technology exists to solve these problems.Providing slums（贫民区） with drinking water and sanitation,for example,is easy to do and a cost-effective way to prevent deaths and disease.But because those who suffer are poor,their access to water is rarely a political priority.There is now an opportunity for progress.More than 100 water ministers from around the world,along with thousands of water experts from villagers to scientists,have gathered in the Netherlands.The conference will be useful if it can persuade governments and international banks to pay more attention to conservation and fair distribution of water.
In 1980,the U.N.set a goal of safe drinking water for all by 1990.Because of international prodding（激励）,about two billion new people received clean drinking water over the subsequent 14 years.A new commitment is urgently needed to spread these health gains,help poor farmers and conserve the world's precious supply of usable water.

在地球上的最宝贵的液体不是油、但是水.水是对生活和健康的基本.一个人能幸存没有食物的好几天或平坦的个星期,但是只有没有水的短时间.全球超过十亿个人没有接触安全的饮用水.有少数挑战像保存世界的可使用水而且为对需要它的人的灌溉供应干净的饮用水和水那样重要.然而这一个工作没有变得完成了.人类正在将会很快威胁我们的食物补给的比率耗尽可使用水的地球商店.贫穷的水管理已经杀一年数以百万计的人而且判刑数以百计的数百万饿.
技术存在解决这些问题.提供贫民窟（贫民区）用饮用水和公共卫生,举例来说,容易做和一个有成本效益的方法避免死亡和疾病.但是因为遭受的人是贫穷的,他们的接触水很少地是政治优先.有现在为进步的一个机会.来自全球的超过 100个水部长,连同从村民到科学家的数以千计的水专家一起,已经在荷兰聚集.如果它能劝政府和国际的银行对保护和水的展览会分配给予较多的注意,会议将会是有用的.
在 1980 年,联合国设定一个安全饮用水的目标为所有的 1990.因为国际的戳（激励）,大约二十亿新的人在后来的 14 年内收到了干净的饮用水.一个新的承诺紧急地被需要传布这些健康增益,帮助贫穷的农民而且保存世界的可使用水宝贵补给.
