神农架
神农架林区是湖北省直辖林区,地处湖北省西北部,1970年经国务院批准建制,是中国唯一以“林区”命名的行政区。
神农架是中国首个获得联合国教科文组织人与生物圈自然保护区、世界地质公园、世界遗产三大保护制度共同录入的“三冠王”名录遗产地。2016年,神农架被列入《世界遗产名录》,成为湖北省第1处、中国第11处世界自然遗产。2018年9月,神农架荣获“中国天然氧吧”称号。
WHY SHENNONGJIA
Good morning, everyone. It is my great pleasure① to give a lecture here on behalf of② the Be at One with Nature Association③.
[1]As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it④ onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. But there are so many important places not yet on this list. So you might ask: why Shennongjia [2]Is it its forests that stretch⑤ on and on like great green seas?Is it the legendary⑥ father of Chinese herbal medicine, Shennong, after whom the park is named⑦ ?Or is it the mysterious creature called“Yeren” (wild man) that has captured the imagination⑧ of the world
[1]此处是as引导的非限制性定语从句,意为“众所周知”。
[2]本句用来回答why Shennongjia这个问题。that在此引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语,修饰先行词its forests。
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria⑨ [3]required by the list.It contains a naturally balanced environment that allows the many and various species to live and prosper. [4]It is also one of the rare locations⑩ in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
[3]此处是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰two criteria。
[4]本句是主从复合句。where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词one of the rare locations,该定语从句中又包含了一个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the ecological and biological processes。在that引导的定语从句中,又包含了一个as引导的时间状语从句。
For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 metres to over 3,000 metres above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”. The vast range in altitude results in a great variation in climatic conditions . This allows a wide variety of species to thrive. Some of the plants and animals have survived millions of years, and are regarded as living fossils.
For the second criterion, we can see that Shennongjia has incredible biodiversity. Look at this slide . According to official statistics, over 3,000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten per cent of China's total floral richness. Shennongjia supports more than 600 vertebrate species, including the Golden Snub nosed Monkey and the Clouded Leopard. Additionally, around 4,300 insect species have been recorded.
It is a challenge to look after so many species. In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub nosed Monkey. Thanks to their efforts, the monkey's population has doubled since the 1980s. Their number reached over 1,300 in 2015 and continues to grow.
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people, who take things from nature without causing damage. I visited a local village which is known for its home made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee.Every spring, the villagers place beehives around their houses to attract these wild bees from the forest. Although endangered elsewhere in China due to the invasion of foreign species, the bees of Shennongjia have coexisted with the local people for centuries. By providing the bees with a secure home, the villagers collect their honey in return. This is just one of the ways in which people of Shennongjia live and work in harmony with nature.
All of this explains why Shennongjia earned—and deserves—its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
Thank you for listening.Now, does anyone have any questions?
为何选择神农架?
大家上午好。我很荣幸在这里代表融入自然协会做演讲。
众所周知,神农架在2016年成功进入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》。但是还有许多重要的地方不在这个名录上。因此你可能会问:为什么选择神农架?是因为它那绵延不绝的像广阔的碧海一样的森林吗?是因为它是以传说中的“中草药之父”——神农命名的吗?或是因为被称为“野人”并激发全世界想象的神秘生物吗?
联合国教科文组织授予神农架这样的地位,是因为它符合该名录要求的两个标准。它包含一个自然平衡的环境,这使得许多不同的物种可以生存和繁衍;它也是世界上罕见的科学家可以在那里实时观察动植物成长和进化时的生态和生物过程的地方之一。
就第一个标准而言,神农架据说是世界上最“完整”的自然区域之一。该地区高出海平面约400米到3 000多米,因此它被称为“华中屋脊”。海拔高度的巨大范围导致当地的气候条件千差万别,这使得种类繁多的物种得以茁壮成长。一些动植物已经存活了数百万年,被视为活化石。
就第二个标准而言,我们可以看到,神农架有着令人难以置信的生物多样性。请看这张幻灯片。根据官方统计数据,这里有3 000多种植物已经纳入记载,这相当于中国丰富植物资源总数的10%以上。神农架生活着600多种脊椎动物,包括川金丝猴和云豹。此外,大约有4 300种昆虫已经纳入了记载。
照料如此多的物种是个挑战。在冬天,科学家们要冒着大雪和经受冰冻的温度,为川金丝猴提供食物。多亏了他们的努力,自20世纪80年代以来,川金丝猴的数量翻了一番。2015年,它们的数量达到1 300多只,并且还在继续增加。
但是神农架最令人印象深刻的方面是当地的人。他们从自然中获取资源,但不造成破坏。我曾走访当地一个以家庭自制蜂蜜而闻名的村庄。这种蜂蜜的特殊之处在于,它由中国最早的蜜蜂品种产出。每年春天,村民们在他们的房子周围放置蜂箱,来吸引森林中的野生蜜蜂。尽管由于外来物种的入侵,这些蜜蜂在中国其他地方濒临灭绝,但神农架的蜜蜂和当地人共存了几个世纪。村民们给蜜蜂提供安全的家园,收集它们的蜂蜜作为回报。这只是神农架的人与自然和谐相处的方式之一。
所有这些解释了神农架为什么能够进入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》,这项荣誉实至名归;这也凸显了理解、意识和努力是如何增进对我们独特而精彩的自然世界的保护的。
谢谢大家的倾听。现在有人有什么问题吗?
