早就知道美国在能源方面耗费惊人。到美国住下后,很快就看到,美国在纸张方面的耗费也令人咋舌。仅从日常生活所接触的广告、报纸、包装纸、手纸等来说,就可见一斑。先说广告。一踏上美国土地,就感到广告铺天盖地而来。机场、饭店、旅行社、商店、学校、图书馆、博物馆、公园、娱乐场,乃至高速公路的停车休憩站,处处都大量地免费提供印刷精良的广告和资料。我们信步在纽约曼哈顿闹市,看见有一些企业雇请的宣传员不时地向过往行人手里塞广告。即使在辛辛那提市区的住所里,我们也不断收到邮寄的或专人派送来的大堆广告。说美国广告成灾一点也不过份。许多美国人收到广告后,一转身就扔进垃圾箱。初到美国的人目睹此情景,真是不胜惊讶。
It has long been known that the United States spends astonishingly on energy. When I came to the United States, I soon saw that the U.S. spending on paper was staggering. It is evident from the advertisements, newspapers, wrappers, toilet paper, etc. that come into contact with everyday life. Let’s talk about advertising As soon as you set foot on the land of the United States, you feel the advertisement is overwhelming. Parking stops at airports, hotels, travel agencies, shops, schools, libraries, museums, parks, casinos and even motorways are filled with well-printed and well-advertised advertisements everywhere. We walked in downtown Manhattan, New York City and saw some companies hired by advertisers hurried to advertise pedestrians from time to time. Even in the city of Cincinnati, we continually receive advertisements sent by post or by hand. It’s not too much of a disaster to say that U.S. advertising is going to happen. Many Americans, after receiving the advertisement, turn to throw themselves in the bin. It is astonishing to see this scene for first-time Americans.
