参考解析
解析：
录音中英国环境部长保证2011年以前把用于防洪的费用从6亿英镑增加到8亿英镑，但是并不能从根本上解决问题，因为英格兰人总是喜欢把房子建在危险地区（容易受洪灾影响地区），此外十分之一在建新房都处于类似的危险地带，包括在Ashford计划建造的31,000座房子和伦敦Thames Gateway的120,000座房子，可知现在有151,000座在建房屋处在危险地区。
【录音原文】
The environment minister pledged to boost spending on flood defences from ￡600 million now to ￡800 million a year by 2011. The extra money will be welcome, but will not address the fundamental problem: England’s penchant for building houses in silly places (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all much stricter). Some ￡200 billion-worth of houses, businesses and other infrastructure is at risk from flooding. One in ten new houses are being built in similarly risky places, including 31,000 planned for Ashford in Kent and 120, 000 in London’s Thames Gateway.
