问题 Sparkling or still? Spring or tap? Imported or domestic? Flavored or plain? There’ s nothing simple about a drink of water, now that the bottled stuff outsells both milk and beer in the United States. In just a couple of decades, we’ ve become a nation awash in bottled water—with tens of billions of plastic empties to prove it—transforming the Drinking Fountain on a city street into a dated curiosity akin to the public telephone booth.
    How one of life’ s basic necessities became a heavily marketed beverage in a plastic bottle is the subject of Elizabeth Royte’ s new book Bottlemania; How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It. Royte, an environmental journalist based in Brooklyn, N. Y. , shares the many, sometimes bizarre, unintended consequences of cracking open that plastic seal.
选项
答案 是闪闪发光的还是静止不动的?是泉水还是自来水?是进口的还是国产的?是有味道的还是原味的?喝水真不是一件简单的事情，现在瓶装水在美国的销量已经超过了牛奶和啤酒。在短短几十年时间里，我们已然成为了一个被瓶装水淹没了的国家——那些数百亿的塑料空瓶就证明了这一点，城市街道上的自动饮水喷头已经成了类似于公共电话亭的过时的奇物。 伊丽莎白-罗伊特的新书《瓶装水热潮：水怎样开始销售以及我们为什么购买》谈论的就是这样的一个主题：生活的一件必需品是怎样变成极大市场化了的瓶装饮料。罗伊特，一位在纽约布鲁克林区的环境记者，跟我们分享了许多打开塑料瓶盖后离奇的、意想不到的经历。
