Visitors

 

1.E:What would you suggest a visitor should see and do in your country?

 

C: Well, as you know, China is an ancient country with a profound culture. It has nu-merous places of interest. I'll be more than obliged to introduce my country to a visitor if he comes to China. My first recommendation is Beijing, the capital of China. There are lots of fun places there, for example, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace...These are places that have held great historical and cultural values since the day of their creation. Other places such as Shanghai, a city crowned as the Oriental Pearl, Hangzhou, the most charming place in Southeast China, Gansu where the Silk Road used to run through and Inner Mon golia covered with endless prairie, are all famous touring resorts.

 

2. E: Are there any traditional arts or music you would recommend?

 

C: Of course. China has never been in shortage of arts and music throughout the histo ry. Chinese national painting is extraordinary in terms of the tools used which are Chinese brushes , ink and rice paper . So is the Chinese calligraphy whose various styles reflect the exquisiteness of the masters of this field. In the realm of music Peking Opera has been treated incontrovertibly as a national treasure. The tones and singing techniques are so charmingly unique that it makes audiences both home and abroad utterly overwhelmed.

 

3.E:Tell me about the kind of foreign visitors or tourists who go to your country.

 

C:OK.Hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors come to China for tours year ly. Visitors from other Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia contribute as the biggest proportion to the composition of foreign tourists leading visitors from Europe and America in the second and third places respective ly. The last contributors are from Oceania and some African countries whose tour ists take up a bit more than one twentieth of the total number. All of them come for different purposes in which sightseeing and recreation is listed as No.1, followed by meeting and business, and lastly visiting relatives and friends. The greatest numbers of visitors in terms of age from all the continents have found their consistency in the range from 25 to 44. And male tourists shared a bigger portion than their female counterparts in the total population of international visitors.

 

4.E:In what ways has tourism changed your country?

 

C: I'd say it's brought about many positive as well as a few negative influences to my country. It's true that tourism has dramatically boosted the economy of our nation by inviting visitors both home and abroad to tour in the popular resorts in China. Not only has tourism had itself greatly developed, it also has given a tremendous lift to several tourism-related industries, such as food production, hotel and restaurant franchisees and recreational businesses. While applauding for the benefits, we also witnessed the consequences caused by it. Damages to the ecosystem such as alteration of the living habits of animals and pollution to the natural environment are led to by the repetitive visits and the lack of awareness and necessary knowledge of environmental protection.

访客

 

1.E:你建议一个来到中国的访客应该去看些什么，做些什么？

 

C:啊，你知道，中国是一个文化底蕴深厚的古老国家。她的悠久历史孕育了无数风景名胜。我会不胜荣幸地向来到中国的客人介绍我的国家。我首先推荐他去北京，因为它是中国的首都。在那儿有很多有趣的地方，像长城、故宫、天坛和颐和园。这些地方自建成之日起就蕴藏着伟大的历史和文化价值。还有很多可以去的地方，比如说被誉为东方之珠的上海，中国东南方最具魅力的杭州，丝绸之路曾经之地甘肃，以及被无尽的大草原覆盖的内蒙古。这些都是有名的旅游胜地。

 

2.E:你能否推荐一些传统的艺术和音乐？

 

C:当然可以。古往今来，中国从没有在艺术和音乐的领域显现匿乏。中国的国画独具特色，它用特有的毛笔，墨和宣纸绘画。这和书法很相似。书法的不同派别尽现了大师们的精湛技艺。在音乐领域，京剧无可非议地被视为国粹。它的唱腔和技巧如此地迷人而独特，以至于中外观众都为之倾倒。

 

3.E:和我讲讲到你们国家来的外国访客和游客。

 

C:好吧。每年有成千上万的游客到中国旅行。来自像日本、韩国、新加坡和马来西亚的游客组成了外来游客的最大一部分。紧跟其后的是来自欧洲和美洲的游客。他们分别列居第二和第三位。最后是来自大洋洲和一些非洲国家的游客，他们仅占到1/20多一点。他们各有不同的目的。观光娱乐列为第一，然后是会议商务、工作，最后是探亲访友。来自不同大洲的以年龄划分的人数最多的旅游者都统一集中在25岁到44岁之间。而且在全部的国际游客中，男性的比例要大于女性。

 

4.E:旅游业在哪些方面改变了你的国家？

 

C:我觉得它给我的国家带来了很多积极影响的同时也有一些消极的影响。通过邀请国内外的游客旅游各个景点，旅游业极大地推动了我国经济的发展。不仅旅游业本身得到了极大发展，而且它还巨大地推动了一些相关产业，比如食品生产、旅馆和餐饮连锁以及娱乐业的发展。但在享受利益的同时，我们也目睹了它带来的后果。由于反复的旅游和对环保意识和知识的欠缺，人们给生态系统带来了很大的损害，像改变了动物的生活习性，对自然环境造成了污染。
