Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volume of greenhouse gases as the world’s airlines do – roughly 2 percent of all CO2 emissions?
Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of CO2, depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right” answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then, Google has to maintain vast data centres around the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO2, these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centres need to be well air-conditioned, which uses even more energy.
However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much more to be done, and not just by big companies.

参考译文谁会想到,从全球来看,IT产业产生的温室气体总量与世界航空业相当——约占所有二氧化碳排放量的2%?
许多日常任务对环境造成了出人意料的负担。一次谷歌搜索可能排放0.2至7.0克二氧化碳,具体取决于需要多少次尝试才能得到“正确”答案。为了迅速向用户提供结果,谷歌必须在世界各地维持庞大的数据中心,里面装满了功能强大的计算机。这些计算机在产生大量二氧化碳的同时,还释放出大量热量,因此数据中心需要良好的空调系统,而这又会消耗更多能源。
然而,谷歌和其他大型科技供应商密切监控其效率并不断改进。监控是减排之路的第一步,但还有许多工作要做,而且不仅仅是大公司的事情。
解析先抓反问主干 Who would have thought that…,IT industry produces…as airlines do 为比较结构,破折号补充占比。第二段 take a surprising toll 统领,search can leak… 给出区间,depending on 表条件。To deliver… 不定式表目的,packed with 后置修饰 data centres;While producing… 表伴随,so 引出空调耗能。末段 However 转折,not just by big companies 须译出“不只是大公司”。难词:toll 宜作“负担”,leak 转译“排放”,air-conditioned 转“空调系统”。技巧:伴随转主动、增补“而这又会”、定语后置。失分常在漏 roughly、leak 直译、then 逻辑及单复数衔接生硬。
