And where lack of water is a problem, countries like Australia, China, and Spain, have built desalination plants, which remove the salt from seawater to produce drinking water.

对于澳大利亚、中国、西班牙这些国家，缺水也是一个问题，他们建造了盐工厂。通过将海水盐来获得饮用水。

So we desalinate the water and we store it there.

我们对水进行盐处理，并将其储存在那里。

Solar panel, battery, power desalination unit.

看到太阳能板、电池、盐装置。

Indeed, Israel is a leader in the design and distribution of water conservation, desalination, irrigation and re-use technologies, among others.

事实上，色列在节水、盐、灌溉和再利用等技术的设计和分配方面处于领先地位。

Brine is water containing large amounts of salt and often includes chemicals such as chlorine and copper used in desalination.

" 盐水" 含有大量盐分，通常包括用于盐的氯和铜等化学物质。

It takes energy to produce energy: pumps must be powered and vast quantities of seawater desalinated.

生产能源就需要消耗能源。油泵运行需要电力驱动和大量的盐海水。

First, he had them sweat out all the salt in their bodies, then he literally desalinated everything they consumed.

首先，他让他们出汗，排出他们身体中的盐分，然后他将供应的所有事物全部盐淡化。

This means that some wells may even need to undergo desalination after extraction, thus increasing the cost.

这就意味着从一些井里抽取上来的水能还是需要进行盐处理，从而会增加成本。

This writer, whose last name is Tucker, says that we'll be hearing a lot more about desalination.

这位姓塔克的作者表示，我们将更多地听到关于盐技术的讨论。

Next he says that nanotechnology is a " factor, " or something that is important in desalination.

接着他说纳米技术是一个“因素”，即在盐过程中具有重要意义的事物。

Let's listen again to what Tucker has to say: You're going to be hearing a lot more about desalination as a means to fight against these water shortages, and nanotechnology is actually a factor in that.

让我们再听听Tucker怎么说：将会更多地听到关于盐作为一种对抗水资源短缺的手段，而纳米技术实际上是其中的一个因素。
