About three-fourths of all the fresh water in the world is stored as glacier ice. 世界上大约全部淡水的四分之三储存于冰川之中。
Lakes and ponds are basins of water surrounded by land, whereas rivers and streams are the arteries that move freshwater from land, such as mountain peaks, to the oceans. 湖泊和池塘是被土地包围的水域，反之河流是从土地中流出的移动的淡水的血脉，比如从山脉的最高峰流向海洋。
A well supplies the place with water. 这个地方的水由一口井供给。
The same lotus of our clime blooms here in the alien water with the same sweetness,under another name. 我们地方的荷花又在这陌生的水上开了花，放出同样的清香，只是名字换了。
