三、Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese:（30 分） The legal and illegal pumping of underground water faster than it can be replaced has
compressed water-storing aquifers, causing Bangkok to sink between 2cm to 5cm each
year. Scientists say the rise of waters in the nearby gulf as a result of global warming could
combine with the sinking land to put Bangkok under water much of the time by the middle
of this century.
Similar subsidence and seawater encroachment are occurring in Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh
City and Manila, where a typhoon last month triggered the worst flooding in the
Philippine capital for decades.
Bangkok, some experts half-jokingly say, may well return to what it was in the 19th
century－a water world where almost all its 400,000 inhabitants lived on raft-houses or
homes on stilts.
