雅思大作文题目
“Many responsible tourists pay attention to preserving the environment and culture of places they visit. Others think it is impossible to be responsible tourists. What are the reasons and solutions? ”
本题是2013年12月7日的旧题翻版。
为什么有些人会认为,我们无法做有责任心的游客?也就是说,我们在旅游的时候,为什么难以去保护当地的环境和文化?唐老师认为,类似这样的原因分析类话题,好作文要做到有层次感,那么怎样才能做到有层次感呢?核心在于分析的几个原因要考虑不同层面,而不仅在同一个层面上运作。
就本次作文的话题,即我们为什么无法做有责任心的游客,原因就可能是多层面的:
就客观原因而言,有些景区的保护设施很差,让游客无法去保护环境和文化;
就主观原因而言,游客喜欢在所游之地留下痕迹,或者带走纪念物;
就社会原因而言,景区为了利润,无限制地吸引更多游客,势必造成对景区环境和文化的破坏。
这些原因都可能导致我们无法成为有责任心的游客。
Tourism has boomed throughout the world in the past few decades, and this puts tremendous amount of pressure on the protection of local environment and culture. Many people with pessimistic bend of mind even think that we as individuals cannot be responsible tourists, even if we want to.

(1)boom 兴旺;发展

There are three factors that may prevent us from being responsible for the environment and culture of the places we visit. To begin with, some scenic spots do not have the necessary measures or facilities to help the tourists in their efforts to protect the environment and culture. A few natural reserves I have been to, for example, are not even fenced so that the tourists could explore every corner of them, nor do they have enough recycling bins so many tourists have no choice but litter here and there. Another factor has much to do with our habit or psychology of being a tourist. When we get to a new place, our natural inclination is to bring something back home as some sort of souvenir, even if it is just a flower, a plant, or a small piece of soil. Meanwhile, we also wish to leave our footprints in the new place we visit, like some graffiti on the walls and trees. All these seem rather trivial and harmless, yet when a million people are doing the same thing, an irrevocable destruction to the local environment and culture will surely occur. Finally, in order to maximize their profits, some tourist attractions will do everything to attract the tourists, which means they may change the local environment and culture to cater to the needs of tourists and when more and more tourists come rushing into these places, it will only be a matter of time when these places are contaminated and eventually ruined.
参考译文
有三个因素可能妨碍我们对我们所参观的地方的环境和文化负责。首先,一些景点没有必要的措施或设施帮助游客保护环境和文化。例如,我曾经去过的一些自然保护区,甚至没有围栏,游客们可以四处走动,也没有足够的回收箱,所以许多游客别无选择,只好到处乱扔垃圾。另一个因素与我们的旅游习惯或心理有很大关系。我们到一个新的地方,自然倾向是带回家一些纪念品,哪怕只是一朵花,一株植物,或一小块泥土。同时,我们也希望在我们参观的新地方的留下印迹,比如在墙上和树上涂鸦。所有这些看似微不足道,无伤大雅,然而当一百万个人在做同样的事情时,对当地环境和文化产生不可逆转的毁灭。最后,为了限度地提高利润,一些旅游景点尽一切可能吸引游客,这意味着他们可能会改变当地的环境和文化以满足游客的需求,而当越来越多的游客涌入这些地方,这些地方被污染,乃至最终毁灭只是一个时间问题。
解析
(1)scenic spot 景点
(2)facilities 设施
(3)natural reserve 自然保护区
(4)litter 乱扔垃圾
(5)inclination 倾向
(6)souvenir 纪念品
(7)footprint 痕迹
(8)graffiti 涂鸦
(9)irrevocable 不可逆转的
(10)maximize 使......化
(11)cater to the needs of... 满足......的需求
(12) a matter of time 时间问题
(13) contaminate 使......污染
To solve the problem, we need to improve the quality of the tourist attractions management and our environment awareness as well. For instance, there should be some regulations that limit the daily number of tourists to a spot and there should be warning signs, equipment and facilities to help the tourists to be more responsible for the environment. Most importantly, people should be given enough education and made to realize how important responsible tourists are to the environment.
参考译文
要解决这一问题,就要提高旅游景区的管理质量和我们的环境意识。例如,应该有一些规定来限制景点每天的游客数量,还应该有警示标志、设备和设施来帮助游客对环境更加负责。最重要的是,人们应该得到足够的教育,使之认识到负责任的游客对环境的重要性。
解析
(1) regulation 规定
(2) most importantly 更重要的是
