Today I would like to begin with a story.下午好，各位先生女士們。今天，我想首先用一個小故事。 There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to

2、 Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote he

3、r whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged weve ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.曾經有一個物理治療師誰親赴從美國到非洲

4、做一個關于山地大猩猩普查。這些大猩猩是對游客的吸引力，主要來自世界各地，這使他們嚴重缺乏的偷獵威脅，目前到動物園付諸表決。她去了好奇，但她看見她的決心，增強她的一生奉獻為這些美麗的生物戰斗。她親眼目睹的場景，場景帶我們到一個地方，我們從來沒有影像，我們經歷過的，其中在非洲熱帶雨林的深處，樹木，花卉，蝴蝶，大猩猩包圍的母親擁抱自己的嬰兒。 Yes, thats a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey,

5、 who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.是的，在我最喜歡的電影之一難忘的場景，呼吁在薄霧大猩猩的根底上，戴安娜弗西夫人，誰在此度過了一生中最盧旺達保護，直到她生命的最后的生態環境有真實的故事。 To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should n

6、ot develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.對我來說，電影，不僅提供了一個難忘的場景，而且也是一個永恒提醒我們，我們不應該在開展我們的生態本錢，環境，旅游業行為 Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, pr

7、ovides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the oth

8、er hand, many problems can occur-natural scenes arent natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.今天，我們生活在一個繁榮

9、的世界，但仍這么多的新問題的威脅。一方面，旅游業作為21世紀最有前途的產業之一，為我們提供了極好的時機都沒有看到人都會看到，并前往任何地方有去。這已成為一些人的生活方式，并已被證明是在國內生產總值增長的推動力。它的神奇，把一個繁榮仙境1落后的小城。但在另一方面，可能會出現很多問題-自然景觀不自然了。砍伐森林的熱小屋是消滅性的尼泊爾。旅游船油泄漏污染是南極。部落的人喪失了外鄉音樂和服飾，聽取他們對隨身聽U2和穿耐克和銳步。 All these 7) appalling(令人震驚的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no l

10、onger stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蝕) our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the w

11、orlds attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.所有這些令人震驚的事實使我們認識到，我們不能再袖手旁觀，什么都不做，因為它認為非常侵蝕了我們的資源。令人鼓舞的是，全球旅游的爆炸性增長已經把旅游業再次在聚光燈下，這就是為什么聯合國2002年提出的生態旅游首次提請全世界注意旅游業的好處，但也其能力，破壞我們的生態環境。 Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an:

These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffe

13、ring from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.現在每年有很多地方ecoenvironmental保護組織接受捐贈-大筆記，筆記，甚至小硬幣-從家庭主婦，管道工，救護車司機，售貨員，教師，兒童和殘疾人。其中一些人可沒有錢給的錢，但他們這樣做。這是誰駕駛的出租車，誰在醫院護士，誰從他們所在地區的生態破壞的痛苦。為

14、什么？因為他們的照顧。因為他們仍然希望他們回到大自然。因為他們知道它仍然屬于他們。 This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, its all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.這種感覺，我有，女士們，先生們，是當它的感覺，喜歡這種氣味，而且看來，這一切都從一個場景來記住，一個場景回憶和珍惜。 The othe

15、r night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been e

16、xcept the deer.有一天晚上，我看見月亮徘徊在土地和前被送進了無形的，心里卻充滿了歌曲。我發現自己輕輕哼唱，而不是音樂，而是別的東西，別的地方，一個地方記住，一個地方不動，一個草地，再沒有人似乎除了鹿被。 And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that its lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.和那些難忘的情景更增強了的感覺，現在需要我們做一些事情，為我們自己和我們的未來一代。Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause its with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.再次，我所認為的夫人戴安娜弗西，因為它與她的精神，熱情，勇氣和強烈
