游客的行为修养The Tourist’s Behavior

　　As the economic level keeps increasing, many people would like to travel abroad. But there is a survey shows that China is one of the five worst tourist nations which include India, France, Russia and England. It didn’t surprise me because there is always news about how Chinese tourists impressed the local people by their bad behavior. They were known as talking loud in the public, being unfriendly to the environment, tipping stingily, and the worst, marking on the historical sites. Every time I heard about these thing I felt so sorry for my country. China is meant to be a country with an ancient civilization and courtesy people. We are nice to foreigners here and being a good host. I hope every tourist who goes abroad should understand that he/she is on behalf of our country. We have the responsibility to defend the dignity of our country. We should show the world the best of China.

　　随着经济水平的不断提高，很多人喜欢去国外旅游。但是有份调查显示中国是五个最差游客国家之一，还包括印度、法国、俄国和英国。这份调查并没有让我感到吃惊，因为一直都有新闻说中国游客的糟糕行为让当地人印象深刻。他们被认为在公众场合大声喧哗、不爱护环境、吝于付小费，更糟糕的是，还在历史古迹上留言。每次我听到这样的消息，都会为我的国家感到很遗憾。中国理应是个文明古国，人民热情礼貌。我们在国内对外国人都很友好，做一名好主人。我希望每个出国的人都应该明白我们是代表着自己的国家，我们有责任维护国家的尊严。我们应该向世界展示最好的中国。


旅游对环境的影响 The impact of tourism on the environment

As tourism has been experiencing a flourishing time recently in China, many people believe that tourism will accelerate economic growth and bring benefits to the dwellers of the city. So they hold the opinion that we should try our endeavors to promote tourism; however, those who see the other side of the picture utter a sonorous voice that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As far as I am concerned, my opinion is the same as the latter's for the following reasons: In the first place, with many travelers flocking to different destinations over the country, air travel, car travel and train travel are adding to the planet’s pollution crisis and this is becoming a serious problem. Tourism development must accompany a sharp rise in traffic; however, we have to admit that the scenes of packed vehicles around the tourist attractions are not a pleasant view, let alone the exhaust fumes emitted. Besides, in some mountainous areas, in order to attract the tourists, trees are cut down to build the roads and hotels to facilitate people’s exploration of scenic spots, which itself serve as the evidence of negative effects imposed on the local environment. In addition, some tourists’ lack of awareness of environmental protection leads to damage on a large scale, from the garbage spread around to the animals scared away or even killed by the tourists, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment. In short, to develop tourism at the cost of environment is proved wrong beyond doubt. Thus, we need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the damage tourism causes.

近年来，随着旅游业在中国的蓬勃发展，许多人认为旅游业将加速经济的发展，给城市居民带来利益。所以他们持有的意见，我们应该尽我们的努力，以促进旅游业；然而，那些看到图片的另一边发出洪亮的声音，旅游业可能带来对我们的环境造成灾难性的影响。至于我本人而言，我认为是相同的，因为后者的原因如下：首先，许多游客蜂拥到不同的目的地在国家，空中旅行，旅行车和火车旅行是增加地球的污染危机，这已成为一个严重的问题。旅游发展必须伴随着交通的急剧上升；然而，我们不得不承认，在旅游景点周围的车辆的场景是不是一个令人愉快的看法，更不用说排放废气排放。另外，在一些山区，为了吸引游客，树木被砍伐建造道路和酒店方便人民探索风景名胜景点，它本身作为证据的负面影响强加给当地环境。此外，一些游客缺乏环保意识导致大规模的损失，从垃圾遍布动物吓跑了，甚至丧命的游客，这严重损害了自然环境的平衡。总之，发展旅游业的成本在环境上被证明是错误的。因此，我们需要找到一个平衡点，满足游客的需求，减少到最低限度的损害旅游的原因。
