章节摘录

　　"A recent study in the Royal AstronomicalSociety Journal　predicts　that　our　oceans　willevaporate in one billion years," he says.　　"This is not due to global warming but thenatural effect of our Earth being dragged towards thesun, causing our beloved salt waters to just boil away."　　"As such we are advising citizens to book theirOcean　City　getaway　now,　before　the　oceanevaporates. This may be the last chance you have toenjoy all that Ocean City, Maryland has to offer."　　As the Mayor ends his words, scenes of thebeaches, fishing, tourist shops and children bangingon crabs are flashed across the screen.　　Donna Abbott, public relations director for thetourist spot, said the advertisement aims to be"humorous" and is not a serious appeal to urgeAmericans to take a vacation.　　"We understand the environment, but thesedays, we want to have people take notice and realizethat they need to have some fun," she said.　　"We recognize these are challenging economictimes with gas prices increasing and it was a reasonto be very aggressive in our campaign this year toremind people they need to take a vacation."　　Ocean City, famous for its 10 mile （16 kilometer）long sandy beach, receives around eight millionvisitors per year.
