The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it.
地球正面临严重的电力问题，我们所有人都受到影响。
Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power?
我们应该把一切都交给政府，还是我们可以做些事情来节约用电？
The answer is clear if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.
答案很明确：如果不是我们，那又是谁呢？让我们看看你如何在家节约用电。
Computer. More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors(显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers.
电脑。很多时候，即使我们已经关闭了电脑，也没有关掉显示器（显示屏）。
And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else.
而且当我们走开去做别的事情时，经常让电脑保持开启状态。
Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them.
当你不使用它们时，请关闭显示器和电脑。
Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.
即使在工作时也要开始这样做。你将有助于节省地球的一些重要能源。
Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season.
空调：根据季节，将温度设定在你感到舒适的最低或最高强度。
Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.
尽量不要设置过高或过低的温度。这有助于你节省大量电力。
Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash?
洗衣机：你是否按需频繁使用洗衣机？即使衣服不多，你也使用洗衣机吗？
Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.
通过每次清洗大量衣物来减少洗涤次数。
Television: Unplug(拔出插头) the power plug of your television set when not using it.
电视：不使用时，请拔掉电视机器的电源插头（拔出插头）。
This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.
这可能听起来不是什么大事，但这个小小的步骤将帮助你节约用电。
Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge.
冰箱：你是否总是把热食放入冰箱？在放入冰箱前，先将熟食冷却至室温。
You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.
你也可以通过在用餐时间之前很久就把冷藏或冷冻食物从冰柜中取出，从而节省电力。因此，你不需要再加热它。
