翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Eh? Why is there an extra pot of such lovely plants?
Huahua: Oh! A few days ago, my family received tree saplings from the city government. I thought of planting them in pots and placing them next to my seat, so I brought them over today.
Qingqing: How come the government is so generous, giving away tree saplings?
Huahua: Today is March 12, Arbor Day. The government encourages everyone to plant trees, so they organized activities for everyone to contribute to greening efforts.
Qingqing: Greenery always make people feel happy, and you can also absorb more phytoncides, which is good for both physical and mental health. If there are trees everywhere, it also helps reduce air pollution.
Huahua: That’s why I think Arbor Day, though not a major holiday, is very significant. Planting trees on hillsides can protect the land and prevent mudslides, contributing to sustainable development.
Qingqing: You are really environmentally aware. Thank you for letting me share in this gift from nature.
Huahua: Let’s do more than just share. After work, let’s go buy more saplings and plant them together for Arbor Day!
