Wu has fought for years against the pollution of Taihu lake in the centre of the Yangtze River Delta plain, a region known for its natural beauty but now littered with light industry and chemical factories.吳已爭取多年，對太湖污染的長江三角洲平原，美麗的自然風(fēng)光著稱的區(qū)域中心，但現(xiàn)在散落輕工和化工工廠。
"Wu Lihong was about to come to Beijing to sue the environmental protection agency when he was arrested, now I am carrying on his work," Xu said. “吳立紅是來北京時，他被拘捕了，現(xiàn)在我對他的工作的賬面起訴環(huán)保局，”許說。

The two have provided 83 bottles of contaminated water samples gathered from the Yixing region next to Taihu Lake, and also gathered a series of television and news reports which document polluted rivers in the area.兩個提供83瓶受污染的水從太湖宜興地區(qū)收集樣本，還收集了一系列污染的河流文件在該地區(qū)的電視和新聞報道。

"But to no avail, even SEPA has ignored our reports. The lawsuit is the only way left for us to address this." “但無濟于事，甚至國家環(huán)保總局已忽略我們的報告。訴訟是留下的唯一途徑，為我們解決這個問題。”
