Sasha: That’s what I’m saying. I originally thought the water circulated through the fountain in a closed circuit, which prevents water from being wasted. But now it turns out that’s not the case at all. 1,000 to 2,500 liters of drinking water are pumped into the fountain and directly flushed out into the sewers every day.
莎夏：沒錯。我本來以為它是循環利用的水，不會造成任何浪費。不過後來卻發現每天有多達1,000到2,500公升的飲用水被抽送到噴泉並直接流入城市的下水道。
