范文：
The cartoon presents the Earth with a personified human face that seems quite unhappy. A examination of the picture immediately reveals that the source of its mood is the air pollution resulting from a huge number of automobiles spread around its surface.
The cartoon, no doubt, aims at alarming humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable production and usage of automobiles. However, the majority of people merely indulge in the celebration of the convenience brought by cars, while forgetting or simply neglecting their harmful impact on the atmosphere. Admittedly, there are various factors contributing to the current worldwide air pollution, but it is undeniable that the exhaust from automobiles is categorized as one of the major elements.
I would like to make the following proposals to solve this problem: firstly, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. It should also be guaranteed that the clean energy be inexpensive so that it can be widely accepted. Besides, there shold be attempts to develop possible transportation means, so that citizens can be diverted from dependence on cars. In short, it is humans’ responsibility to resume clean air for Earth.
譯文：
這幅漫畫以擬人的方式呈現地球，它的臉顯得非常不高興。仔細觀察這幅圖就會發現其郁悶來自于空氣污染，這是由于其表面上有著無數車輛在行駛。
毫無疑問，這幅漫畫意在向人們敲響警鐘，即人類永不知足的生產和使用汽車給我們的地球帶來了巨大的負擔。但是，大部分人卻沉溺于汽車帶來方便，而忘記了或者是忽略了其對大氣層的負面影響。誠然，有很多因素導致了現在的全球空氣污染問題，但是不能否認的是汽車廢氣被歸為最重要的因素之一。
為了解決這個問題，我想提出以下建議：第一，我們應該運用最先進的技術從而以新能源替代化石燃料。同時，我們要確保清潔能源的價格低廉以得到大眾的接受。此外，我們應該嘗試發展各種交通方式，這樣市民們能夠擺脫對于汽車的依賴。簡而言之，人類有責任來恢復地球的清潔空氣。
