【正确答案】With wider access to the Internet, misbehavior of immoral tourists, both at home and abroad, is being exposed more frequently on social media, which has triggered widespread criticisms among people. In my view, it is of great significance for tourists to behave properly when traveling. Firstly, on an individual level, behaving oneself while traveling means more safety. Arguably, visitors who behave in an uncivilized manner are at higher risk of being hurt while, for example, doodling on or carving characters into, as well as climbing or touching cultural relics. Secondly, on a national level, inappropriate behavior severely damaged a country's international image. Tourists are ambassadors for their own countries, thus should be more concerned about their behavior. Lastly, for all mankind, civilized tourism contributes to the protection of cultural relics and the continuation of global civilization. The majority of natural heritage is of great historic value. In all, being a civilized tourist is the obligation of each citizen, as improper behavior of tourists not only put themselves in danger, but could bring immeasurable losses to invaluable cultural heritage.
【答案解析】随着互联网的广泛应用,国内外游客的不当行为被频频曝光,招致一片声讨之声。在我看来,游客在旅行过程中举止文明得体是具有重大意义的。 首先,从个人的角度来看,旅游时举止得体意味着更高的安全性。可以说,举止不文明的游客在进行诸如往文化遗迹上涂鸦、刻字或攀爬、触摸文化遗迹等活动时受伤的可能性更大。其次,从国家层面上说,不当的行为会严重损害一个国家的国际形象。游客是自己国家的形象大使,更应当注意自己的举止行为。最后,对于全人类而言,文明旅游有助于保护文化遗迹,维持世界文明的连续性。大多数自然遗产都有重大的历史价值。 总而言之,成为文明游客是每个公民的义务,因为游客的不当行为不仅让自己处于危险之中,而且可能会对文化遗产带来不可估量的损失。
