環游世界是很多人的夢想。如果你已經在各大洲留下了自己的足跡,下一個目的地你會選擇哪里?別忘了地球有七大洲哦,越來越多人希望到訪企鵝比人多的南極洲。然而,我們都知道旅游業必定會對當地生態帶來影響,我們應該如何做出平衡?一起聽聽本期節目—

The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential[潛在的] problems to such a sensitive[敏感的] environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible[易接近的] coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if 6) controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates[提倡者]. Visitors to the icy continent might be 7) to support and even to fund its preservation. And they’re 8) to engage in[參加] the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are 9) when you’re about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect[消毒] their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced[傳入].
And once on land, there’s no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments[碎片]—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.
Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be 10) that this is not their home, and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.
喜歡冒險的旅行者應該到哪里去?當你已經欣賞過倫敦的美景、逛完紐約的商店、品嘗過巴黎的地道美食、在巴西狂歡節上盡情跳舞,還有什么地方可去?有哪些異國風情的旅游目的地在等著你呢?
南極洲似乎是你一輩子也不會忘記的度假咧!它被認為是地球上最后一片人跡罕至的好地方。只有少量駐扎在研究站的科學家和企鵝等能夠應付極端低溫的動物分享這片冰原景觀。
南極旅行始于20世紀50年代,現在的規模依然很小。預計本季將有37000名游客到訪南極洲,不過大部分游客甚至不會離開他們的游船。
英國廣播公司(BBC)的朱麗葉·里克斯到訪了這片冰封大陸,她向自己提出這樣一個問題:我是否應該來這個地方,因為這樣可能對如此敏感的環境帶來潛在問題。她的導游承認所有到訪者都會留下自己的足跡,而且他們去的地方是一樣的,就是那些容易到達的海岸線,也是企鵝和海豹繁殖的地方?!?br>
