10、语英语高中选择性必修第二册高中选择性必修第二册1.Good morning, everyone.It is my great pleasure togive a lecture here on behalf of the Be at One withNature Association.大家早上好。我很开心能代表人与自然和谐相处协会在这里发表演讲。2.As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it onto theUNESCO World Heritage List. But there are so manyimportant places not yet

11、on this list. So you mightask : why Shennongjia? Is it its forests that stretch onand on like great green scas? Is it the legendary fatherof Chinese herbal medicine, Shennong,after whomthe park is named? Or is it the mysterious creaturecalled Yeren” (wild man) that has captured theimagination of the

12、 world?众所周知，神农架在2016年正式入选联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名录。世界上重要的地方那么多,但许多都没有被列入该名单。所以你可能会问:为什么是神农架?是因为它拥有像绿色海洋般广袤的森林吗?还是因为它是以中国草药之父神农命名?抑或是因为神秘的“野人”吸引了全世界的目光?3.UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status becauseit meets two criteria required by the list.It containsa naturally-balanced environment that allows themany and

13、various species to live and prosper. It isalso one of the rare locations in the world wherescientists can observe in real time the eological andbiological processes that occur as the plants andanimals clevelop and evolve.联合国教科文组织令神农架入选是因为它符合入选名录的两项标准:第一,它拥有一个自然平衡的环境,使许多不同的物种得以生存和繁衍。第二，它也是世界上人迹罕至之地，科

14、学家们可以实时观察到植物和动物发展和进化过程中的生态学和生物学过程。4.For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most complete naturalareas in the world.The region rises from about400 metres to over 3,000 metres above sealevel, giving it the name the“Roof of CentralChina”.The vast range in altitude results ina gre

15、at variation in climatic conditions.Thisallows a wide variety of species to thrive.Some of the plants and animals have survivedmillions of years, and are regarded as living fossils.就第一项标准而言，我们可以自豪地说神农架是世界上最“完整”的自然区域之一。该地区的海拔从大约400米上升到3,000多米,被称为“华中屋脊”。海拔的巨大差异导致了迥然不同的气候环境,使得大量不同的物种得以繁衍生息。一些动植物生存了数百万年

16、,被视为活化石。5.For the second criterion, we can see thatShennongjia has incredible biociversity. Lookat this slide.According to official statistics,over 3,000 plant species have been recordedthere.This represents more than ten per centof China s total floral richness.Shennongjiasupports more than 600 ver

17、tebrate species,including the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey andthe Clouded Leopard.Additionally, around4,300 insect species have been recorded.对于第二个标准,我们可以看到神农架有着极丰富的生物多样性。请看这张幻灯片。根据官方统计，在神农架内有记录的植物物种超过3,000种，占到了中国全部开花植物的10%以上。神农架还有600多种脊椎动物,包括川金丝猴和云豹。此外,有记录的昆虫物种也达到了4,300种左右。6.lt is a challenge to look a

18、ftcr so many species.In winter, scientists brave heavy snow andfreezing temperatures to supply food to theGolden Snub-nosed Monkey.Thanks to theirefforts, the monkeys population has doubledsince the 1980s.Their number reached over1,300 in 2015 and continues to grow.照顾如此多的物种是一项挑战。冬季,科学家们不畏暴雪和严寒为川金丝猴提

19、供食物。也正是因为他们的付出,川金丝猴的数量相比于20世纪80年代增加了一倍，到2015年达到1,300多只，而且其数量还在持续增长。7.But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjiais the local people, who take things fromnature without causing damage.I visiteda local village which is known for its home-made honey.What is special about thehoney is that it is produc

20、ed by the earliestspecies of Chinese bee.Every spring, the villagers place beehives around their housesto attract these wild bees from the forest.不过神农架给人印象最深的地方还在于当地人的生活方式，他们从大自然中索取,但不会破坏生态平衡。我去了一个以自制蜂蜜而闻名的当地村庄参观。这种蜂蜜的独特之处在于它是由最古老的一种中华蜜蜂产的。每年春天，村民们就会在自家周围放置一些蜂箱,吸引森林中的野生蜜蜂。7.Although endangered elsew

21、here in China dueto the invasion of foreign species,the beesof Shennongjia have coexisted with the loxalpeople for centuries.By providing the beeswith a secure home, the villagers collect theirhoney in return.This is just one of the ways inwhich people of Shennongjia live and work inharmony with nat

22、ure.虽然在中国的其他地区,由于外来物种入侵，这种蜜蜂濒临灭绝,但是神农架的人们和这种蜜蜂已经共存了几个世纪，村民为它们提供安全住所，蜜蜂为人们提供蜂蜜。这只是神农架的村民与自然和谐相处的方式之一。8.All of this explains why Shennongjia earned -and deserves- its place on the UNESCO WorldHeritage List, as well as highlighting howunderstanding,awareness and hard work havecontributed towardls protecting a unique andwonderful part of our natural world. 以上这些解释了为什么神农架能够并理应入选联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名录,同时也强调了人们的理解、认识和付出是如何促进对这一自然界独特且美好区域的保护的。NoImage 9.Thank you for listening. Now, does anyonehave any questions? 感谢大家的聆听。现在大家有什么问题吗?
