Conversation Two
對話二
W: Who are some of the people fighting to protect these trees?
女：致力于保護樹木的那些人是誰？
M: Well, they belong to the first green political party in Tasmania, and they obviously want to protect the forests a lot, and have big protests, tie themselves to trees, sit up in trees to protect the trees.
男：他們是塔斯馬尼亞島首個綠色環保組織，他們想盡最大努力保護森林，他們舉辦過大型的抗議活動，甚至通過把自己綁在樹上或爬上樹等方式來保護樹木。
W: People actually still do that? Tie themselves to trees?
女：他們現在還這樣做嗎？把自己綁在樹上？
M: Oh, every day in Tasmania. It's a big issue.
男：哦，幾乎每天都有這樣的事情發生。這是個很棘手的問題。
W: Really? That's interesting. I once heard of a girl who lived in a tree for a month because she wanted to stop people from taking down that tree. She lived up there and had people bring her supplies, but she never came down.
女：真的嗎？這真的是太出人意料了。之前我聽說有位女孩為了阻止伐木工人砍樹，在一棵樹上足足生活了一個月。她就住在樹上，有人為她送食物等生活用品，但是她就是鐵了心不下來。
M: That happens in Tasmania as well. There are people today who are up in trees, maybe up to fifty who permanently live up in trees.
男：這種事情在塔斯馬尼亞島也時有發生。直到今天還有人住在樹上呢，打算在樹上永久生活的人多達五十多人。
W: Wow!
女：哇哦！
M: I don't know how they do it.
男：難以理解他們是如何做到的。
W: That's kind of crazy." So, from the companies' point of view, though they are playing devil's advocate here, they do provide jobs for all the people who are working to make trees into paper. What do you think they have to say about that?
女：這樣的舉動的確是有點瘋狂。可是在開發商看來，雖然在這件事情上他們扮演著壞人的角色，但他們為伐木工人提供了工作機會。對這樣的觀點你怎么看？
M: Well, it's true, they do provide jobs. Some cities and small towns do rely on logging industry to provide jobs and support the shops in the place, but...
男：嗯，沒錯，他們確實提供了很多就業機會。一些小的城市和鄉鎮只能靠木材采運工業帶動就業和經濟的發展，可是...
W: But what?
女：可是什么？
M: You know, tourism is a very big industry in Tasmania, and maybe the logging industry takes away tourists, jobs as well, because it makes certain areas not useful for tourism anymore, not very pretty.
男：你也知道，旅游業在塔斯馬尼亞島產業結構中占很大比重，木材采運工業可能會影響觀光客的數量還有就業的機會，因為伐木一定程度上會破壞景區內的植被。
W: Yeah, you're right. If the whole forest is missing, I guess nobody would really want to go and look at anything.
女：你說的對。如果整片森林光禿禿的，我想也沒有游客愿意來這里參觀游玩了。
M: Yeah.
男：是啊。
