问题 There are many countries in the world where the water supply is not sufficient for the growing population, and other sources have to be found. Even the sea is used in some countries, but the problem of removing the salt is a severe one. Sea water can be used for a supply of drinkable water if it can be separated from the salt dissolved in it.
选项
答案由于人口的增长，世界上许多国家的水供给都不充足，因此不得不寻找别的水源。在有些国家甚至利用了海水，但是除去海水中的盐是一件很困难的事情。要能把溶解在其中的盐除去的话，海水就可以用来提炼饮用水。
解析 第一句是一个定语从句，where引导的从句修饰中心词many countries，翻译成汉语时可以不翻译成定语从句的形式，直接翻译成“世界上许多国家的水供给都不充足”更加符合汉语的语言习惯。but the problem…is a severe one直接翻译成汉语意思是“但是…的问题是一个很严重的问题”有累赘之嫌，因此，稍作改动译为“问题在于…是一件很困难的事情”更加符合中文表达方式。最后一句，原文是先讲结果后讲条件，翻译时需要将语序稍加变动。
