NATIONAL PARKS-A TREASURE
HOUSE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
While city life may be exciting, all of us need to escape into nature now and again. Some of the best family holidays involve things like picnics, camping, hikes, and forest walks. Exploring nature allows us to catch sight of rare animals and come across special places of beauty. Of course, none of this would be possible without protected nature areas. This is why national parks are soimportant. They are places to be treasured-places where the country locks away the very best it has to offer for everyone to enjoy. To protect this heritage, governments allow very little development inside most national parks. A few national parks allow things like hotels and recreation areas to be constructed within them, but most parks do not allow any development at all. Visitors have to bring in their own food and drink, and then be sure to carry out all their waste when they leave.

国家公园—为后代建造的宝库
尽管城市生活令人兴奋,但我们所有人都需要时不时地逃避大自然。一些最好的家庭假期包括野餐、露营、徒步旅行和森林漫步。探索大自然使我们能够看到珍稀动物,并且发现美丽的地方。当然,如果没有自然保护区,这一切都不可能实现。这就是国家公园如此重要的原因。它们是值得珍惜的地方——这个国家把最好的东西锁起来,供每个人享用。为了保护这一遗产,政府允许在大多数国家公园内进行极少的开发。一些国家公园允许在里面建造旅馆和娱乐区,但是大多数国家公园根本不允许任何开发。游客必须自带食物和饮料,离开时一定要把所有的垃圾清理干净。
The very first national park is also one of the most famous in the world --- Yellowstone, in the western USA. Nineteenth-century explorers were amazed by what they saw in Yellowstone. Apart from the beautiful mountains, rushing rivers, and tall waterfalls, there were geysers which sent boiling water as high as 91 metres into the air. Then there were the hot springs, as colourful as rainbows. These explorers wanted to protect the natural features of the area from development so that future generations could enjoy the area. And so, in 1872, Yellowstone was established as a national park. Today, around four million people a year visit it. Many come hoping to see wildlife, which is no longer as common in the American West as it once was. Everyone comes to see the geysers, especially Old Faithful, which sits near the centre of the park, and sends 95.6°C water up to 56 metres into the air every 44 to 125 minutes.
第一个国家公园也是世界上最著名的公园之一—位于美国西部的黄石公园。十九世纪的探险家们对他们在黄石公园看到的景象感到惊讶。除了美丽的山脉,湍急的河流和高高的瀑布,还有麦尔泽,它把沸腾的水送到高达91米的空中。还有像彩虹一样五颜六色的温泉。这些探险家希望保护这个地区的自然特征不被开发,这样子孙后代就可以享受这个地区。因此,在1872年,黄石公园被建立为一个国家公园。如今,每年大约有四百万人访问它。许多人来这里是希望看到野生动物,这在美国西部已经不像以前那么常见了。每个人都来看间歇泉,尤其是老忠实泉,它坐落在公园的中心附近,每隔44到125分钟就会将95.6摄氏度的水送到56米高的空中。
While Yellowstone was made a national park in order to protect its natural features, many others were set up to protect wildlife. A good example is the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. In the local African language, “Serengeti” means “the place where the land runs on forever”. It is a wide plain covered in tall grass, and dotted with trees. When foreigners began killing the Serengeti lions for sport, the government decided to take action, eventually turning the area into a national park in 1951. Even then, it was a challenge to protect park’s wildlife. In 1959, a film was made of the great wildebeest migration which occurs every year in the park. This film, Serengeti Shall Not Die, helped people around the world understand the need for wildlife protection. Today, the Serengeti is one of the top tourist attractions in the world. Nowhere else can you see such great herds of wildebeests and zebras, in addition to lions, rhinoceroses, elephants, and many other rare creatures.
虽然建造黄石国家公园是为了保护它的自然特征,其他许多公园是为了保护野生动物而建立的。坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂国家公园就是一个很好的例子。在当地的非洲语言中,“塞伦盖蒂”的意思是“土地永远延续的地方”。这是一个广阔的平原覆盖着高高的草,点缀着树木。当外国人开始猎杀塞伦盖蒂狮子作为消遣时,政府决定采取行动,最终在1951年将该地区变成了一个国家公园。即使在那时,保护公园的野生动物也是一个挑战。1959年,一部关于公园里每年都会发生的大型角马迁徙的电影被拍摄下来。这部电影塞伦加蒂不该丧命帮助世界各地的人们认识到保护野生动物的必要性。今天,Serengeti 是世界上最著名的旅游景点之一。除了狮子、犀牛、大象和其他稀有动物,你在其他任何地方都看不到如此庞大的角马和斑马群。
并非所有著名的国家公园都在陆地上。一些国家公园是海洋公园。澳大利亚的大堡礁海洋公园就是一个很好的例子。大堡礁绵延2300公里,被认为是天然世界七大奇迹之一。它是世界上最大的生物建筑。各种各样的热带野生动物也使珊瑚礁成为它们的家园。由于大堡礁就在水面之下,这是一个观赏大自然的绝佳地点,每年有数以百万计的人到这里旅游。该公园创建于1975年,旨在保护珊瑚礁免受过度开发和捕鱼的危害。不幸的是,大堡礁面临的最大危险是公园管理层无法阻止的—全球变暖。海洋温度上升导致一些珊瑚死亡,色彩斑斓的珊瑚礁变成灰色。几百年前,人们无法想象有一天森林会被砍伐,海洋会被污染,野生动物会面临灭绝。
Watch a video about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
面对环境污染和过度开发的问题,一些国家公园被划出来保护自然景观和野生动物。三江源国家公园就是一个很好的例子,它于2000年在中国的青海省南部建立。这个公园海拔很高,是长江、澜沧江和黄河的源头。这里也是许多植物和鸟类的家园,还有藏羚羊、雪豹、狼、狐狸、熊、牦牛和绵羊等动物。在保护区的大部分地区,严禁开发,任何允许的开发都受到严密监控。自然保护区的保护已经引起了媒体的广泛关注,越来越多的人开始支持生态友好型发展的理念。今天,人们明白了国家公园不仅仅是一代人的,它们应该为每一代人受到保护。
