In fact, the Pew and SYSTEMIQ study found that current measures would only reduce the plastic flowing into the ocean by 7 percent by 2040.

事实上，皮尤研究中心和SYSTEMIQ的研究发现，目前的措施到2040年只能减少流入海洋的塑料量7%。

But it is literally a drop of plastic in the bucket, because it is estimated that about 8 million metric tons of plastic flow into the sea every year.

但是海中垃圾桶能清理的塑料只是沧海一粟，因为据估计每年大约有800万公吨的塑料垃圾流入大海。
