1、巴厘岛介绍旅游英语实用的 it survived the dinosaurs. it survived an ice age. butwill the majestic green sea turtle survive us 恐龙灭绝后海龟仍存活下来,并且挺过了冰河时期的沧桑巨变。而今,硕大肥美的绿海龟会不会葬送在我们的手里 the stench of freshly butchered meat grates on the nostrils as i approach the turtleslaughterhouse; i cansmell it from the grounds of th
2、e local p rimary school, 100m away. 我走近海龟屠宰坊,刚从海龟身上割下来的龟肉散发着腥味,直呛入鼻孔;在距此百米远的当地小学校园内也能闻到。 the building is about 60m by 10m, and inside are the lobster tanks that are required by law.these are empty. on the other side of the building turtles are pack ed like sardines into moretanks. the floor betweent
3、hese tanks is barely visible because it is covered with more than 150live turtles; it is impossible not to tread on them as i wander around. 这个屠宰用的屋子长约60米,宽约10米。根据法律规定,屋内摆放着装龙虾的缸子。但都是空的。屋子另一侧放的缸子更多,里面的海龟象沙丁鱼一样被塞得满满的。150多只海龟散在缸外,几乎覆盖了地面;我在屋里行走时只好踩在它们背上。 stacked against one wall are shells, some clean
4、, others still covered in blood. meat is piled highon a board, and the constant thudthudthud of a swinging cleaver echoes round thechamber. barbaric is too gentle a word for the slaughtering process i witness; apparently itwould ruin the meat to kill them before skinning them. the turtle, which can
5、live more than 200years, is one of the few an imals that cries, and on more than one occasion i see tears runningdown these a nimalsfaces. 龟壳堆在墙边,有的已洗净,有的还留着血迹。龟肉摞在高处的一块木板上,屋子里回荡着屠宰刀来回使用时发出的沙沙声。用野蛮一词远不能形容我目睹的宰杀过程的残忍:一看便知,只有先从活海龟身上刮掉龟皮,再宰杀它才不会破坏龟肉。作为仅有的几种会喊叫的海洋动物之一,海龟的寿命达200多年。我已不止在一个场合看到这些海龟眼角流泪。 sc
6、ientists believe that 17thcentury dutch seafarers were barely exaggerating when they wroteof being able to walk from one indonesian island to another acros s the back of green turtles.now the picture is of an increasingly violent struggle to protect a 250m year old species.there were green turtles i
7、n our seas eons before dinosaurs tramped the earth; they survivedthe last ice age; but they may not be with us much longer. 据17世纪荷兰海员记述,在印度尼西亚,绿海龟多得可以踩着它们的后背从一个岛走到另一个岛,科学家们认为这并不夸张。目前的情况则是为保护这一寿命达250年之久的物种而开展的斗争正日益激烈。恐龙在地球上出现之前绿海龟于就已在古生代出现;在最后一个冰河时期绿海龟也幸存下来;但它们与我们在一起的日子可能不多了。 there have been massivel
8、y significant drops in the past 50 to 60 years, says klaas teule, ascientist with the world wide fund for nature (wwf), which runs a turtle conservation prjectin bali. its hard to put an exact figure on it, but 80% would be on the conservativeside.turtle experts in australia believe that in 1900 the
9、 region was home to up to one thirdofthe worlds turtles. th escale of the slaughter in recent decades, especially the past 10 years,has been so great that the figure is now down to 5%. 世界自然保护基金会(wwf)科学家卡拉斯特尔在巴厘岛成立了的一个海龟保护组织,在过去的50-73年里,海龟的数量骤然减少,他说:很难列出具体数字,但80%尚趋保守。澳大利亚研究海龟的专家认为,1900年巴厘岛曾生存着世界上1/3的
10、海龟。过去几十 年,尤其近十年,乱捕滥杀海龟之多,以至于现在已减少到5%了。 part of the problem is that turtles live so long and they take so long to start breeding. it takes20 years to see the impact of whats going on now, says his wwf colleague, ghislainellewellyn.it may already be too late. 问题还在于海龟寿命很长,长期的性成熟后才开始繁殖。现在这一切对将来的影响,只有等20
11、年后才能看到,特尔的一位世界自然保护基金会(wwf)的同事吉丝雷鲁利恩说,但那时也许已经亡羊补牢,为时过晚了。 most countries agreed to ban trading in the seven turtle species a decade ago when theysigned the convention on international trade in endangered species. indonesia, which is hometo six of the seven species, was one of the signatories, but the
12、goernment gave specialdispensation to balia 5,000 animal annual quota after lobbying from traders on the island.they argued that using turtles in religious and traditional village ceremonies had been part ofbalinese culture for centuries. 十多年前,在签订濒危动植物国际贸易公约(cites)时,很多国家都同意禁止对世界上的7种海龟的贸易。印度尼西亚是缔约国之一
13、,其中六种海龟就生活在那里。但在岛上的商人游说之后,印尼政府却给予巴厘岛特殊照顾每年5,000只海龟的配额。商贩的理由是村落举行宗教和传统仪式时用海龟祭祀在几个世纪以来已成为巴厘文化的一部分了。 conservationists claim that businessmen then flocked to the island and began rampantlyabusing this quota.the reality is that there was no proper monitoring of the quota and no lawenforcement, so the tra
14、ders could do what they liked,says purwo, a memeber of theindonesian campaigning group animal conservation for life (ksbk). research carried out byksbk found almost 30,000 turtles passed through tanjung in 2022, and that the figure wasnot much lower in previous years . the actual death toll is much
15、greater because thousandsmore turtles are caught in fishing nets and suffocate. 环保主义者说,商人云集巴厘岛,开始滥用此项配额。由于没有对此项配额进行适当监控和法律缺乏执行措施,商贩们可以为所欲为。普沃说,他是印度尼西亚动物保护(ksbk)倡议小组的一名成员。ksbk通过研究发现2022年有30,000只海龟在坎昆死亡,而前几年的海龟死亡数与此相差不大。由于成千上万只海龟因意外地闷死在捕捞虾、鱼的网具中,海龟的实际死亡数要多得多。 responding to this pressure, the balinese governor withdrew the quota in june and bannedturtle trading and consumption. 面对压力,巴厘岛的总督终于在6月取消了此项配额,对海龟贸易和消费施以禁令 巴厘岛旅游常见景点中英文名称 乌鲁瓦图情人崖 uluwatu 金巴兰海滩 jimbaran beach 库塔海滩 kuta
