hǎi mián海绵chéng shì城市shì是zhǐ指chéng shì城市xiàng像hǎi mián海绵yī yàng一样 ，kě yǐ可以xī shōu吸收hé和chǔ cún储存yǔ shuǐ雨水 ，rán hòu然后màn màn慢慢shì fàng释放chū lái出来 ，zhè yàng这样kě yǐ可以jiǎn shǎo减少hóng shuǐ洪水hé和shuǐ水zī yuán资源làng fèi浪费 。

zhè ge这个gōng yuán公园yǐ qián以前shì是zào chuán chǎng造船厂 ，hòu lái后来biàn chéng变成le了měi lì美丽de的gōng yuán公园 ，bǎo liú保留le了yī xiē一些lǎo老de的jī qì机器hé和jiàn zhù建筑 。
This park used to be a shipyard and was later transformed into a beautiful park, preserving some old machines and buildings.
yú kǒng jiān俞孔坚xī wàng希望chéng shì城市hé和zì rán自然kě yǐ可以hé xié和谐xiāng chǔ相处 ，ràng让rén men人们shēng huó生活dé得gèng更hǎo好 。
