5. It's not cheap. At an average cost of $1.22 per gallon, we're spending 300 times more on bottled water than we'd spend to drink from the tap. But that number could be even higher, some analysts have pointed out, since most sales are for single bottles.

瓶装水不便宜。瓶装水平均每加仑$1.22，我们花费在瓶装水上的钱是自来水的300倍。但有些分析人士指出实际价格还有可能更高，因为大部分人都是单瓶购买的。
