韩佳:大牛,你干吗去啊?
Daniel, where are you going?
大牛:韩佳,你来得正好。
Han Jia, you’ve come at the right time.
今天的节目就拜托你了。
Today’s program will depend on you.
我请一天假。
I’m going to have a day off today.
韩佳:请假?为什么呀?
A day off? Why?
大牛:因为今天我要对黄龙进行地质调查。

survey of the Huanglong Valley.
这事可不能马虎。
This is a matter which cannot be
done in a slipshod manner.
韩佳:调查?
A survey?
大牛:对呀。你想
Yeah. You just think
我们这都是第二次来到黄龙。
this is our second time to be at Huanglong.
不能只看表面的风光了。

大牛:为什么?
Why not?
韩佳:因为我也要调查。
Because I also want to have a survey.
大牛:不会吧。
That’s impossible.
韩佳:这个大牛真是三分钟热度!
This half-hearted Daniel!
还说要考察呢,
He said he wanted to have a survey
刚到这儿就没人影了。
and now he has totally disappeared.
不用问,肯定是躲到哪儿去偷懒了。
No doubt he must have gone loafing around.
大牛:谁偷懒了?
Who’s loafing around?
我这儿工作得多投入啊!

韩佳:大牛,那你现在是在…

大牛:韩佳,你知道黄龙的
Han Jia, do you know Huanglong
is the world’s
三个世界之最吗?
biggest location of three things?
Nǐ zhīdao huánglóng de sān ge shìjiè zhī zuì ma?
你 知道 黄龙 的 三个 世界 之 最 吗?
Do you know Huanglong’s world records?
韩佳:当然知道了。
Of course I do.
世界上最大的地表钙华滩流,
The world’s biggest travertine beach land,
世界上最大的钙华塌陷壁
the world’s biggest travertine fault
和世界上最大的露天钙华彩池群。
and the world’s biggest group of
travertine ponds.
大牛:那你知道这钙华的成因吗?
Then do you know what caused the
formation of travertine terrain?
你知道它的发展趋势吗?
Do you know it development trend?
你知道它除了绚丽的景色之外,
Do you know, in addition to its
scenic beauty,
对环境、对生态有着什么样的影响吗?
what impacts it has had on the
environment and ecology?
韩佳:这也太专业了吧。
These questions sound too academic.
我不知道。你呢?
I don’t know. What about you?
大牛:我也不知道。
I don’t know either.
但是我正在探索,正在研究。
But I’m doing the research right now.
你看,这里都有专业的设备。

equipment here.

That’s for sure.
我觉得再没有比这更重要的工作了。
I believe there is nothing else which
is more important than this.
韩佳:大牛,这水温也测量完了。
Daniel, you’ve taken the water temperature.
那接下来你要去干什么呀?
What are you going to do now?
大牛:接下来,这种技术性的问题
Next, such technical matters
不用我大牛操心嘛。
do not require my worries.
你把这个温度计
You just give this thermometer
交给实验室的工作人员。
to the lab staff.
他们知道应该怎么办。
They know what to do.
韩佳:我说大牛,
Hey, Daniel,
这地质考察的工作
geological surveying
真不是咱们这些外行人能做得了的。
isn’t the kind of work we lay persons
are capable of.
大牛:那你说我们能做一点什么呢?
Then tell me what we can do?
韩佳:我们倒是可以做点环保调研工作,
We can do some investigations
on environmental protection,
比如这路上长树的景观就很值得研究。
for instance, growing trees on roads,
which deserves research.
Zhè lùshàng zhǎng shù de jǐngguān jiù hěn zhídé yánjiū.
这 路上 长 树 的 景观 就 很 值得 研究。
It was be worth researching why trees
grow in the middle of the pathway.
大牛:韩佳,你就别开玩笑了。
Han Jia, don’t kid me.
路上能长树,
If trees can grow on roads,
那我大牛的头上也能长角了。
horns will grow out on my head.
韩佳:没事吧?这回我看角没长
Are you okay? I see no horns on
your head
倒是要长包了。
but bumps perhaps.
大牛:我没看错吧?
Did I see wrong?
谁把树种在路中间了?
Who have grown these trees in
the middle of the road?
韩佳:不是种在路中间。
No one grew them on the middle
of the road.
是它原本就长在这里。
They have been growing there themselves.
路让树
Letting roads give way to trees
这是黄龙环保工作的一项创举。
is an innovation in environmental
protection at Huanglong.
大牛: 怎么讲啊?
What do you mean?
韩佳:当地人在修栈道的时候立下了一条规矩,
When locals built their plank roads
at first, they made it a rule that
那就是在修的过程中要是遇到树,
in the course of construction,
要么就改道,
when they came across trees,
they should either
要么就把有树的地方空出来。
change their road directions or leave
them intact.
所以才会出现这种道中有树的景观。
That’s why there are trees on the
roads here.
大牛:韩佳,我正忙着调查呢。
Han Jia, I’m busy investigating.
你怎么玩上了呀?
Why are you playing here?
韩佳:我这也是在工作。
I’m also working.
我要总结出黄龙秋季和春季的区别。
I’m trying to find out the differences between
autumn and spring at Huanglong.
大牛:如果我没看错的话,
If I made no mistake,
这里应该是洗身洞吧。
this should be the Xishen Cave.
韩佳:没错。
No mistake.
大牛:终于有水了。
There is water finally here.
韩佳:是啊。上次我们来的时候是春天。
Yes. It was still spring when we
came last.
山上的积雪还没有完全化开,
The snow on the mountains didn’t
fully thaw yet
水流比较小。
and there were only tiny streams.
所以让你留下了遗憾。
So you felt disappointed.
这回好了吧。
It’s a lot better this time.
大牛:观众朋友们,现在是黄龙最美丽的季节。
Viewer friends, now is the most beautiful
season at Huanglong.
这次来再也不能留下什么遗憾了。
There isn’t any disappointment left
from this trip.

在大自然那看似漫不经心的雕琢下
All these miraculous sights are
works of nature,
黄龙成为一座世所罕见的钙华景观博物馆
making Huanglong an open museum of
travertine landscapes.
大牛:黄龙的景色真是绝妙。

Senior officials from Hong Kong and Macao on Monday agreed to speed up study on ways to further facilitate the flow of residents over increasing demands for personnel exchange between the two cities.
Financial Secretary of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government John Tsang had a high-level cooperation meeting in Macao with Macao counterparts to discuss the latest progress and future direction of cooperation between the two special administrative regions.
The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2008 and a cooperation agreement as well as concrete implementation plans on the facilitation measures will be drawn up, according to the results of the cooperation meeting.
Both sides were pleased with the progress achieved in a number of co-operation areas, in particular proposed measures to facilitate cross-boundary people flow.
Apart from the immigration front, Hong Kong and Macao also agreed to continue maintaining close cooperation and communication in areas such as tourism and conventions, cross-boundary ferry services, cross-boundary infrastructure and cultural heritage protection.
