话题解析
旅游业有益文化保护(cultural preservation)的论点:
1) 除了自然景观( landscape )之外,文化和历史是吸引旅游者去一个国家或者一个旅游景点 ( tourism site )观光的最主要原因 ( motivator );旅游业和文化遗产相结合( integrate tourism and cultural heritage )为文化保护提供了经济支持 ( economic incentives );
2) 在文化领域提供一些旅游选择 ( introduce thetourism options available with the cultural sectors ),如博物馆、历史景点、活动和美食等 ( including museums, historical sites, events and cuisine ),游客会深入了解当地传统和习俗 ( get an insight into local customs and traditions ),感受当地传统和艺术 ( experience local traditions, arts and heritage ),从而更加尊重当地社区和周围的环境 ( respect the host community and its environment) 促进(promote=facilitate= boost= further= gear up = encourage )不同国家之间关于自然和文化资源保护的交流与对话 ( the dialogue over conservation of natural and cultural resources)。
旅游业导致文化破坏 ( cultural destruction ) 的观点:
1) 保护的是一般食物、时尚、节日等 ( preserve food,fashion, festivals and so forth ) 一些文化的表面特征 (superficial elements of a culture) ,将文化定格成表演者 (freezeculture as performers ) ,导致了文化、宗教、传统仪式、物质文化和语言的损失 ( theloss of culture, religions, rituals, material culture and language) ;将文化商业化 ( commercialize the culture) ,破坏了文化神圣和独特的本质( erode the sacred ['seɪkrɪd] and unique nature ) ;虽然很多活动是娱乐活动 ( entertain, ratherthan educate tourists ),但有些是对当地人的一种羞辱 ( humiliate thelocal people );
2) 垃圾、涂鸦、破坏和噪音不断增加 ( increasinglitter, graffiti ([grə'fiːtɪ]), vandalism (故意毁坏文物的行为;破坏他人财产的行为) and noise ),游客在没有被允许的情况下进入建筑物、神殿、神圣的土地 ( enter buildings, shrines or sacred lands without permission ),这都与当地文化相冲突(collide with, clash, conflict ),是一种文化侮辱 (an insult to the local culture )。
