Blogging① Australia
1 Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath.Until a few years ago I was a chef②,and a happy one at that,but I wanted more out of life③.I wanted to TRAVEL.At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good④ pictures.So I decided to post pictures on my blog⑤.In less than 18 months,there were over 200,000 people reading my blog[1]!At first,I only regarded it as a hobby,but companies started paying me to

take photos and publish them.In 2013,I was determined to⑥ make my dream come true⑦:I would become Australia's first professional⑧ photo blogger.It was a challenging job,but I did it.Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online[2].I've got to know more about this country and its people.
[1]画线部分为动词-ing形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词people。
[2]画线部分为动词-ing形式短语作后置定语,修饰over 464,000 fans,fans和follow之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。
2What is your connection to Western Australia?
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013.I fell in love with⑨ northern WA and have been back six times[3].Some of my favourite photographs were taken there.I have made over 140 work trips,but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
[3]此处用现在完成时表示从过去开始持续到现在并可能持续下去的动作。
3What do you love most about Western Australia?
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else.The Kimberley region,in particular⑩,is unique and untouched⑪.As a photographer,I love the bright light and amazing colours:red rocks,green plants,blue-green waters and blue skies.
4How does your love of nature influence your photography?
To work full time⑫ in travel,you have to love nature.I try to take every opportunity to⑬ get outside and admire the natural world⑭.I love to photograph⑮ the rising sun,so I force myself into⑯ the natural world by waking early each day.I also enjoy photographing animals,such as dolphins and kangaroos⑰.

5Does your photography support environmental protection?
I hope so.I use my photography to make an impact on⑱ people,especially when it comes to environmental issues⑲[4].Today I've been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat,the Kimberley Quest⑳,all day.[5]When I post the picture online,I will make a comment about㉑ how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles.This crocodile is used to㉒ passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with㉓ humans.Over time㉔,this could make her a danger[6]to㉕ people living in the area.If I can do something to make others aware of㉖ the problem,then that's part of the solution㉗.
[4]“when it comes to...”为固定结构,意为“当谈到……时”。
[5]本句为简单句。I've been photographing 是现在完成进行时,表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作,而且可能继续下去。swimming close to our boat是动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词a crocodile;the Kimberley Quest作our boat的同位语。
[6]画线部分为“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,her作宾语,指代crocodile,名词短语a danger在此作宾语补足语。

写关于澳大利亚的博客
1 你是谁?你是做什么工作的?
我叫劳伦·伊丽莎白·皮里·巴思。直到几年前,我还是一名厨师,并且很开心做这份工作,但我想从生活中获得更多。我想去旅行。那时,我知道了写博客,而且发现我拍的照片很不错。于是,我决定在我的博客里发照片。不到18个月,就有20多万人在阅读我的博客!起初,我只把它当作一种爱好,不过后来有公司开始付钱让我拍照并出版这些照片。2013年,我决心实现自己的梦想:我想成为澳大利亚第一个职业的拍照博主。这份工作很有挑战性,但我还是做了。现在,我每个月都花三个星期的时间外出旅游,有超过46.4万名仰慕者在网上关注我。我要更多地了解这个国家和它的人民。

2 你和西澳大利亚州有什么联系?
我第一次去西澳大利亚州工作是在2013年。我爱上了西澳大利亚州的北部,又回去了六次。我最喜欢的一些照片就是在那里拍摄的。我已经完成了140多次工作旅行,但最棒的一次是去金伯利地区的布鲁姆。
3 你最喜欢西澳大利亚州的什么?
这里极其美丽,比其他任何地方都能更多地体验澳大利亚的土著文化。尤其是金伯利地区,它是独一无二且未受到任何破坏的。作为摄影师,我喜欢明亮的光线和令人惊叹的色彩:红色的岩石、绿色的植物、蓝绿色的水域和湛蓝的天空。
4 你对大自然的热爱如何影响你的摄影?
要想做全职旅行的工作,你必须热爱大自然。我努力利用每个机会到外面去欣赏大自然。我喜欢拍摄太阳升起的画面,所以每天都强迫自己早起,让自己进入自然界。我也喜欢拍摄动物,如海豚和袋鼠。
5 你的摄影支持环保吗?
我希望如此。我通过我的摄影给人们带来影响,尤其是在环境问题上。今天,我一整天都忙着拍摄一条在我们的船只——“金伯利探险号”附近游来游去的鳄鱼。我把照片上传到网上时,会对喂食野生鳄鱼的糟糕后果发表评论。这只鳄鱼已经习惯了乘客从船上投食,并且现在开始熟悉人类了。随着时间的推移,这可能会使她对生活在该地区的人构成威胁。如果我能做点什么让其他人意识到这个问题,那就是解决办法的一部分。
