I am water. To humans, I am simply just there. I’m something they just take for granted. But there is only so much of me and more and more of them every single day. I start as rain in the mountains, flow to the rivers and streams and end up in the ocean. Then the cycle begins again. And it will take me ten thousand years to get back to the state I’m in, now. But to humans, I’m just water, just there. Where will humans find me when there are billions more of them around? Where will they find themselves?Will they wage wars over me, like they do over everything else?That’s always an option, but it’s not the only option.

我是水，对于人类来说，我司空见惯、理所当然。但是我是非常有限的，而人类的数量却每天都在增长。我化身为雨水，落入山中、流进小溪与河流，最终汇入大海。让我回到起始的形态，有时需要一万年的时间。然而对于人类来说，我只是水，理所当然就应该存在。如果人口再增加几十亿，人来还能找到我吗？他们又将如何生存呢？人类为了争夺各种资源而陷入战争，未来他们是否会为了争夺我而又发起战争呢？那倒也是一种选择，但并非唯一的选择。

金句赏析：

Will they wage wars over me, like they do over everything else?

人类为了争夺资源而陷入战争，未来他们是否会为了争夺我而又发起战争呢？
