So, Neil, what’s the best holiday you’ve ever had?
尼尔，你度过最美好的假期是做什么？
That would be scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.It was awesome! I saw sharks, sea turtles, manta rays...
是在澳大利亚大堡礁潜水。那段经历太棒了！我看到了鲨鱼、海龟、蝠鲼……
I certainly don’t like the idea of coming nose to nose with a shark! But then diving isn’t really my thing.I’m more into cultural holidays – you know, visiting the ruins of ancient civilisations.
我着实不喜欢和鲨鱼面对面接触。潜水也不是我的菜。我更喜欢具有文化气息的假期，例如参观古老文明的遗迹。
That’s very worthy, Alice.But tourists are actually damaging a number of important sites around the world– tramping around, dropping litter, scribbling graffiti everywhere…
很有意义啊，爱丽丝。但是游客们也破坏了很多世界重要的遗址，随处踩踏、乱扔垃圾、乱写乱画……
I would never drop litter or scribble graffiti!
我从来没有乱扔垃圾，乱写乱画!
Well, we’re talking about world heritage sites today, which are places UNESCO considers to be at risk from various threats and in need of protection.Heritage means the things a society considers important to its history and culture, for example art, buildings, or natural sites such as the Grand Canyon in the United States.
今天我们的主题就是谈论世界遗址，讨论那些联合国教科文组织认为遭受各种威胁，需要保护的地方。遗址是指一个社会认为对其历史和文化至关重要的东西。例如，艺术、建筑、自然景观，像美国的大峡谷。
And the environment poses a number of different threats.So, Neil, can you tell me which sea creature is a potential threat to the Great Barrier Reef’s ecosystem?Is it a …a) starfish?b) jellyfish?Or c) cuttlefish?
环境变化也给这些遗址带来了许多威胁。尼尔，你能告诉我哪种海洋生物会对大堡礁的生态系统造成威胁吗？a)海星b)海蜇还是c)乌贼？
I will go for b) jellyfish.I’m no expert on marine life, but I have eaten jellyfish and I haven’t eaten the other ones.
我选b)海蜇。我不是海洋生物的专家，但我吃过海蜇，其他的两个没吃过。
Oh, I see. Well, we’ll find out later on if you are an expert or not.But let’s listen now to BBC reporter Roger Harrabin talking about other types of threat to heritage sites.See how many you can spot!
好吧。节目的最后我们再看你是不是专家。我们听听BBC记者Roger Harrabin 的谈话，谈论对遗址造成的各类威胁。看你能数出多少种！
The most precious wonders of the natural world– Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, America’s spectacular Grand Canyon, the Barrier Reef of Belize in South America,second biggest on Earth – all facing threats from humans.The Great Barrier Reef is attracting urgent concern.There’s a huge battle over mining and port development.A giant coalmine has just been given the go-ahead by the Queensland government even though scientists warn it may damage the Reef.
自然界最珍贵的奇迹——澳大利亚大堡礁，美国壮观的大峡谷，世界第二大堡礁南美伯利兹堡礁，都遭遇了来自人类的威胁。大堡礁的处境得到了人们的关注。矿业和港口发展方面存在巨大争执。昆士兰政府着力优先开采大型煤矿，即便科学家告诫这会损害珊瑚礁。
That’s the BBC’s Roger Harrabin.Well, I spotted a couple of threats to heritage sites there – mining and port development.Now, any type of industrial activity can harm them by, for example, encroaching on the natural habitat of animals and plants living there,or by polluting the water that flows into the site.
