聽力原文及翻譯
For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves. This is known as translocation and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years. The reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas. Overpopulation is a good problem to have and not one we tend to hear about very often.
今天,我想向大家介紹如何將大象遷移到新的保護區(qū)。這被稱為遷移,近年來在非洲的馬拉維已經(jīng)實施。這樣做的原因是一些地區(qū)的大象數(shù)量過剩。人口過剩是一個好問題,但我們很少聽到。
In Malawi's Mageti National Park, the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers who killed the elephants for their ivory. But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced. Since then, not a single elephant has been poached. In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
在馬拉維的馬蓋蒂國家公園,大象種群被偷獵者消滅,他們?yōu)榱讼笱蓝鴼⑺来笙蟆5?2003 年,公園重新放養(yǎng)了大象,并引入了有效的執(zhí)法措施。從那時起,沒有一頭大象被偷獵。在這個安全的環(huán)境中,大象數(shù)量激增。
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support. This led to a number of problems. Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger as there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park. Some elephants began looking further afield.
繁殖進展順利,大象數(shù)量超過了公園所能承受的數(shù)量。這導(dǎo)致了許多問題。首先,食物競爭加劇,這意味著一些大象正在挨餓,因為國家公園的食物量有限。一些大象開始向更遠的地方看齊。
Elephants were routinely knocking down fences around the park, which then had to be repaired at a significant cost. To solve this problem, the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Magetti National Park to Kotakota Wildlife Park, where there were no elephants. But obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home 300 km away is quite a challenge.
大象經(jīng)常撞倒公園周圍的圍欄,而修復(fù)圍欄需要花費大量資金。為了解決這個問題,決定將數(shù)十頭大象從馬蓋蒂國家公園遷移到?jīng)]有大象的科塔科塔野生動物園。但顯然,試圖將大量大象遷移到 300 公里外的新家是一項相當(dāng)大的挑戰(zhàn)。
