A Speech at the New National Geographic on Campus Program Press Conference

Ladies and gentlemen，

I'm very pleased to introduce to you our new National Geographic on Campus Program．

As an organization that seeks to inspire others to care about the planet．National Geographic is committed to sustaining the character and integrity of each place we visit—its environment，culture，heritage，and the well-being of its residents．In providing authentic travel experiences for students，we strive to protect the sites we visit，support local economies in our choice of accommodations and services，and increase students' understanding and appreciation of other peoples and customs through meaningful cultural exchange．

Starting in the summer 2009 we are pleased to introduce National Geographic on Campus，innovative programs for high school students based in two spectacular locations on the East and West Coasts—Monterey Bay，California and Bar Harbor，Maine．With a comfortable campus setting as our base，we'll spend ten days exploring the region through workshops，hands-on activities in the field，excursions to nearby sites，and active adventures in the company of dynamic instructors and National Geographic experts．

National Geographic on Campus programs blend field-based activities—photo and film shoots，GPS tracking，and marine research excursions，for example—with daily workshops and discussions led by outstanding trip leaders and National Geographic experts．You'll choose an on-assignment focus，such as Photography or Marine Biology＆Conservation，and work in teams to hone your skills and develop a project．

National Geographic experts will join you during the course of the program to lead workshops and excursions，give presentations about their work，and inspire interesting discussions．Whether you go on a photo shoot alongside a National Geographic photographer or conduct field research with a biologist whose findings have been reported in our magazines，you'll gain valuable insights from our experts．

In the months leading up to your adventure，we will send you a variety of materials tohelp you prepare for your trip，including books，magazines，maps，or DVDs produced by National Geographic，as well as a complimentary one-year subscription to a National Geographic magazine of your choice．Not only will these provide background information about your destination，they'll also get you thinking about the kind of project you'd like to pursue．

If you are a high school teacher or other high school staff and are interested in offering a special departure of a National Geographic Student Expedition for your school，contact us for more information．

4．參考答案

在《國家地理》雜志校園項(xiàng)目新聞發(fā)布會上的講話

女士們，先生們:

非常高興向大家介紹我們新推出的《國家地理》雜志校園項(xiàng)目。

《國家地理》雜志的宗旨是激發(fā)人們關(guān)愛地球。因此，每到一處，我們都希望維護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)氐娘L(fēng)貌，包括它的環(huán)境、文化、遺產(chǎn)，并盡量不打擾當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦男腋Ｅc安寧。在為同學(xué)們提供真實(shí)的游歷體驗(yàn)的同時(shí)，我們力圖保護(hù)所參觀的每一個(gè)地方，選擇相應(yīng)的住宿服務(wù)以支持地方經(jīng)濟(jì)，并通過有意義的文化交流增進(jìn)同學(xué)們對其他民族風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣的了解。

《國家地理》雜志校園項(xiàng)目是新近針對中學(xué)生推出的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，將于2009年夏季啟動(dòng)。該項(xiàng)目在美國的東海岸和西海岸設(shè)有兩個(gè)基地，分別位于加利福尼亞的蒙特利海灣和緬因州的巴爾港。有了舒適的校園環(huán)境作為我們的基地，在為期十天的行程中我們將通過工作坊、動(dòng)手實(shí)踐、近郊遠(yuǎn)足，以及一些探險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)來對這些地區(qū)進(jìn)行探索。這期間會有多位教練及《國家地理》雜志的專家陪同。

《國家地理》雜志校園項(xiàng)目集實(shí)地考察活動(dòng)與日常研討于一體。實(shí)地考察包括攝影、全球定位系統(tǒng)跟蹤、海底探險(xiǎn)游等。日常的研討則有優(yōu)秀的帶團(tuán)導(dǎo)游及《國家地理》雜志專家參與并組織。大家需要選擇一項(xiàng)具體的任務(wù)，如攝影或海洋生物學(xué)及海洋生物保護(hù)等，并與團(tuán)隊(duì)共同努力，鍛煉自己的技能，完成一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。

《國家地理》雜志的專家在整個(gè)項(xiàng)目過程中將與大家一起，組織工作坊及遠(yuǎn)足，向大家展示他們的工作，激發(fā)大家的興趣，引導(dǎo)大家進(jìn)行討論。無論你是與《國家地理》雜志的攝影記者一道去攝影，還是與一個(gè)已在我們雜志上刊登相關(guān)發(fā)現(xiàn)的生物學(xué)家一道做實(shí)地考察，你都將從中獲得寶貴的見解。

在大家出游前的幾個(gè)月，我們將奉送各種資料幫助大家做好出游的準(zhǔn)備，包括書籍、雜志、地圖和由《國家地理》雜志制作的DVD。另外還要贈送大家一年的《國家地理》雜志。這些材料不僅可以為大家提供目的地的背景知識，而且可以讓大家預(yù)先思考一下所愿意選擇的任務(wù)計(jì)劃。

如果在座的有中學(xué)老師或者是中學(xué)員工，并對學(xué)校學(xué)生參加《國家地理》雜志舉行的學(xué)生游感興趣，請與我們聯(lián)系，以獲取更詳細(xì)的信息。
