2 _______________________________________________________________. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it.
这则岛屿管理员的招聘广告吸引了全世界的兴趣。这其实是一种绝妙的方法,
既突出了大堡礁的重要性,又强调了大堡礁需要人类保护。
__________________________________________________________________ About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than 25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
A. Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet.
Main idea: The Great Barrier Reef is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处,是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整体面积接近日本的国土面积,甚至从外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁已有2,500万年的历史,由生长在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚组成。它是许多鸟类和海洋生物的栖息地。但如今,这一独特又脆弱的区域正在遭受污染和气候变化的威胁。
To get this job, the candidates had to make a short video showing how much they knew about the reef. They also needed to prove why they were the best person to do the job. Out of the thousands of applicants, eleven were selected, including a young woman from China. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK.
Main idea: Ben Southall from the UK got the job.
要想得到这份工作,应聘者需要拍摄一个简短的视频,展示自己对大堡礁的了解程度。另外,应聘者还需要证明为何自己是这个职位的最佳人选。数千名应聘者中,入选人有十一个,其中还包括一个年轻的中国姑娘。最终,来自英国的本·索撒尔获得了这份工作。
_________________________________________________ In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his experiences. Ben later joked that the job should have been advertised not as the “best”, but the “busiest job in the world”!
D. Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker.
Main idea: Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker.
本在做岛屿管理员期间做了很多事情。除了发布博客、拍照片和写关于大堡礁的文章外,本还多次在电视上露面号召保护大堡礁,并且担任过国家地理频道的主持人。在那之后,本把自己的经历写成了一本书。他后来开玩笑说,这个工作的招聘启事上应该写“世界上最繁忙的工作”,而不是“最棒的”。
__________________________________________________________________________
The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area. What's more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year.
B. Whether it was a genuine job or an eye-catching marketing event isn't really important.
Main idea: The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the Great Barrier Reef and the imoprtance to protect it.
不管这是一个真正的工作机会,还是一场吸引眼球的营销活动,其实都不重要。最重要的是,全世界都认识到了这片大海的美丽。而且,人们还意识到环境存在于微妙的平衡之中,也知道了人类能够且必须采取什么行动来保护大堡礁。只有如此,大堡礁才能继续作为野生动物的安全栖息地以及每年数百万游客梦寐以求的旅游目的地。
好的过渡突出了连接不同段落, 并将文章作为一个整体的理念。过渡可以帮助读者理解段落之间是如何融为一体的,它们之间是如何相互衔接的,以及从更大意义上是如何构建的。
