　　honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

　　first of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that i hope won't bore you since the source is china daily.

　　china's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of china's gdp. according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.

　　as a student majoring in economics, i can't be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers. they mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability.

　　however, as a conscientious chinese and citizen of the world, i can't help but care more about the losses incurred in this transaction, by which i mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis. the global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame. take china for example, in order to attract tourists, many unknown places are built into resorts. forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6)contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed.

　　if this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here. last year i took a tour around emei mountain in sichuan province. like most tourists, i was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty. however, as soon as i got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road. when we finally arrived, what i saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people; what i heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops; what i smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restaurants. moreover, i could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day; why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows; why the strongest impressions i had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground.

　　however, this is not the end of the story. before i left emei, i met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “experiencing, learning and protecting.” when i saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when i felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when i found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesn't have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it. yes, environmental problems will eventually ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system. however, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better. to realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothing other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home. at the end of my speech, please let me quote bob dylan:

　　how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?

　　how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?

　　how many years can a mountain exist before it's washed to the sea?

　　the answer, my friend, is not in the wind-the answer is ours! thank you!

　　尊敬的评委，女士们，先生们，早上好。

　　首先，让我借此机会向你提出一套，我希望不会给你因为源是中国日报的数据。

　　中国去年的旅游收入达5000亿元，同比增长百分之10.5，包括超过5%的中国国内生产总值。据专家介绍，这一数字将在未来十年内增长到8%，将创造超过4000万个就业机会。

　　作为一名经济学专业的学生，我不能对这些数字背后的基本含义更加敏感。他们的意思是进步，繁荣，就业和稳定。

　　然而，作为一个认真的中国人和世界公民，我不能不关心更多的损失，在这项交易中，我的意思是干扰图像的环境破坏，从而导致生态危机。在过去的几年里，全球环境恶化了，旅游业也难辞其咎。以中国为例，为了吸引游客，许多未知的地方建成度假村。森林被清除，草原被践踏，河流和湖泊6)被污染，野生动物被驱赶，植物受到破坏，被隔离的人群扰乱。

　　如果这似乎太遥远和抽象，我自己的旅行经验可能会大声这里。去年我游览了四川峨眉山。和大多数游客一样，我渴望拥抱大自然，欣赏大自然的美景。然而，我一上公共汽车，汽油的恶臭和引擎的噪音玷污了我对乡村美景和宁静的欣赏。当我们终于来到，我看到的不是一个美丽的景观，但人群;我听到的不是鸟儿的歌声悠扬，但“谈判从礼品店;我闻到的不是山中的新鲜空气，但臭令人窒息的烟雾出来的.肮脏的小餐馆。此外，我不明白为什么生活在那里的可爱的猴子不得不整天与游客拍照，为什么美丽的蝴蝶和鲜花已成为无生气的样品在商店橱窗，为什么我最强烈的印象是垃圾散落在地上。

　　然而，这并不是故事的结局。在我离开峨眉，我的口号是一个生态旅游项目遇到了一群孩子：“体验、学习和保护。“当我看到他们的年轻的手从地上拣起垃圾，当我觉得自己的享受和与动物和谐的关系，当我发现他们的眼神充满了激情和爱自然，我意识到我很满意，也不必是一个旅游和生态之间的权衡，因为在我们的内心深处是一个倾向于自然美和渴望保护它。是的，随着科技的进步和管理体制的完善，环境问题最终会缓解。然而，增加生态教育和实际的环境参与我们的同胞会做得更好。要做到这一点，对我们最好的方式在于旅游本身，因为没有什么比自然可以教我们如何爱和珍惜我们最甜蜜的家。在我的演讲结束时，请允许我引用鲍布狄伦：

　　一个人要走多少路才能叫他男人?

　　一个人要仰望多少次才能看到天空?

　　一座山在被冲刷到大海之前能存在多少年?

　　我的朋友，答案不在风中，答案是我们的!谢谢您!
