尽管第一个结果是积极的，但研究小组一直等到更多证据出现。
result — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The example draws attention to a natural resource, which can shape how people respond to natural resources.
/ðə ɪɡˈzæmpəl dɹɔz əˈtɛnʃən tə ə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹs, wɪt͡ʃ kən ʃeɪp haʊ ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz./
这个例子提请注意自然资源，它可以决定人们如何对自然资源作出反应。
natural resource — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A closer look at a water scarcity reveals a practical side of natural resources that general opinions often miss.
/ə ˈkloʊsɚ lʊk æt ə ˈwɔtɚ ˈskɛɹsɪti ɹɪˈvilz ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl saɪd əv ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz ðæt ˈd͡ʒɛnɚəl əˈpɪnjənz ˈɔftən mɪs./
仔细观察水资源短缺问题可以揭示自然资源的实际一面，而一般观点往往忽视这一面。
water scarcity — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Personal experience can introduce natural resources, but a wider judgement also needs evidence.
/ˈpɚsənəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns kən ˌɪntɹoʊˈdus ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz, bʌt ə ˈwaɪdɚ ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt ˈɔlsoʊ nidz ˈɛvədəns./
个人经验可以引入自然资源，但更广泛的判断也需要证据。
personal experience — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A sensible choice about natural resources compares immediate convenience with longer-term effects.
/ə ˈsɛnsɪbəl t͡ʃɔɪs əˈbaʊt ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz kəmˈpɛɹz ɪˈmidiɪt kənˈvinjəns wɪθ ˈlɔŋɡɚ tɚm ɪˈfɛkts./
对自然资源的明智选择应将眼前的便利与长期影响进行比较。
choice — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The main advantage of one response to natural resources should be clear enough to observe or measure.

对自然资源采取一项对策的主要优势应足够明确，以便观察或衡量。
main advantage — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A clearly defined problem makes it easier to choose an appropriate response to natural resources.
/ə ˈklɪɹli dɪˈfaɪnd ˈpɹɑbləm meɪks ɪt ˈiziɚ tə t͡ʃuz ən əˈpɹoʊpɹiɪt ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz./
明确定义的问题可以更轻松地选择针对自然资源的适当应对措施。
problem — 保留结构，替换真实细节。For an individual, the first useful step is to describe what actually happened instead of offering a vague opinion.

自然资源问题的实际解决方案应符合当地需求，并随着时间的推移保持现实。
practical solution — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A positive change in natural resources becomes credible when people can explain how it happened.

实际支持可以帮助人们对自然资源做出反应，同时又不免除个人责任。
support — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A convincing view of natural resources gives a reason and then tests it against a concrete example.
/ə kənˈvɪnsɪŋ vju əv ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz ɡɪvz ə ˈɹizən ænd ðɛn tɛsts ɪt əˈɡɛnst ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl./
对自然资源的令人信服的看法给出了一个理由，然后用一个具体的例子来检验它。
reason — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The result matters because it shows whether a response to natural resources worked in practice.
/ðə ɹɪˈzʌlt ˈmætɚz bɪˈkʌz ɪt ʃoʊz ˈwɛðɚ ə ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz wɚkt ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs./

/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɹisɔɹsɪz ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
最实际的教训是，应该通过实际效果而不是有吸引力的口号来判断自然资源。
rather than — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Good decisions connect a clear purpose with evidence, human experience, and the willingness to revise a weak approach.
/ɡʊd dɪˈsɪʒənz kəˈnɛkt ə klɪɹ ˈpɚpəs wɪθ ˈɛvədəns, ˈhjumən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns, ænd ðə ˈwɪlɪŋnəs tə ɹɪˈvaɪz ə wik əˈpɹoʊt͡ʃ./
