　　參考譯文：

　　Blue algae are a simple water-born plant that grows and thrives in rivers, lakes, wetlands,hot springs and on trunks. Cells of blue algae can multiply beyond a tipping point where resulting bloom discolors water body, triggers/breeds foams, gives off stinky smell, poses a deadly threat to shellfish and fish and leads to a sharp fall in water quality.

　　In 2007, high concentration of nutrients and other pollutants triggered blue algae“eutrophication” in Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake and Dianchi Lake, disrupting water supply in neighboring cities and damaging aquatic farms.

　　The worst hit was the eastern part of Taihu Lake, the third largest freshwater lake in China. The onset of water bloom suspended water supply to over 1 million residents for 10 days. Local environmental watchdogs/regulators dictated the closure of 770 chemical plants to prevent further pollution.

　　The summer of 2008 saw much of China hit by blue algae bloom as a result of long-running spells of warm, dry weather. In September, a dedicated ship capable of removing the hazardous plant swiftly yet effectively was put to service in Jiangsu province.
