中国环境的现状英文介绍(实用20篇)

说起北京啊，不知道有多少名胜古迹在这座欣欣向荣的城市中。天坛、故宫、万里长城……其中最引人入胜的就是北京颐和园了。现在我们大家所在的这个大公园就是颐和园。请大家随我细细游赏。

现在，我们已经来到了著名的长廊。大家看，这长廊有着绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，一眼望不到头，对吧?大家知道吗，这条长廊有700多米长，分成273间，每一间的横槛上都有着五彩的画，几千幅画没有哪两幅是相同的。画上画着四大名著，惟妙惟肖。

现在我们已经来到了万寿山脚下，大家抬头望，那里一座三层宝塔形的建筑耸立在半山腰上，是佛香阁。下面还有一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，那就是排云殿。怎么样，很美吧?

现在，我们已经登上万寿山，站在佛香阁之上了。大家往下望，是不是感觉颐和园的景色大半都收在了眼底呢?看吧，葱郁的树林，掩映着黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。再看，昆明湖是不是静得像一块碧玉呢?游船、画舫在湖面静静地滑过，几乎不留一点痕迹。这里非常美吧?

现在，我们已在昆明湖旁了。看那边，有一个小岛，岛上也很漂亮，一片葱绿。我们只要走过十七孔桥，就能到达小岛。这座桥有十七个桥洞，所以叫十七孔桥，它有上百根石柱，柱子上雕刻着许多小狮子，姿态不一，没有哪两只是相同的。

现在大家可以开始自由参观，不过一定要文明观赏，保护景物呀。

今天，我们的研学队伍来到莫高窟，七月的大西北，太阳一出来，戈壁滩如同火炉，人们不敢在太阳底下多呆一秒钟。但这是不能阻挡我的热情的，老实说，走进莫高窟，是我向往已久的愿望。

原来，出于保护的需要，莫高窟内是没有任何照明设备的，黑暗、清凉、气味重。因为事先有老师的介绍，我们了解到了莫高窟的历史价值与文化价值，知道一些关于它多难的历史，所以，走进窟内，大家表情严肃，无人说笑打闹。

在解说员手电筒灯光的照射下，石窟里的景象逐渐清晰。那一处处壁画，生动形象、栩栩如生，着实令人眼前一亮。窟内一般由塑像和壁画组成，伏羲、女娲、雷神、飞天……这些只在书中看到的神话人物，在壁画上屡屡出现。在导游的介绍下，我才知道，壁画也好，雕塑也要，他们有许多都是在讲述着一则则佛家故事，非常生动形象。我想，用这种方式传递佛教是很能激起人兴趣的。

记忆最深的是关于佛祖的雕塑。佛祖的神色第一眼给人带来的是惊悚，但看久了后，便能体会到那神色中实则包含着的是佛门的慈悲。石窟中见到最多的是七个佛像，它们的排位也都相同，佛祖释迦摩尼居中，它的佛像最大，雕刻得也最为精细，但令我印象最为深刻的是佛祖像的左侧那尊佛像，释迦摩尼的大弟子苦行僧，他的裸露出的肌肤似乎真的历经了千磨万难，皮包骨瘦，那根根肋骨都能清晰的瞧见，深邃的目光中透露出他对前方艰险磨难的坚定与无所畏惧，我不禁为这群古代艺术家们的高超技艺折服。

这些雕塑美中不足便是有些部位缺损了，后来我才知道，它们有的是因自然原因，但更多的是人为造成的，到底是为什么呢?

这时讲解员向我们解答了。原来，这莫高窟中的许多经文、壁画、雕塑都已流落异国了，当时中国正处于纷乱状态，那时的政事怎有精力来看管这处东方的卢浮宫呢。

半天的时间很短，但让我领略了中华文化的历史悠久，艺术博大精深;也让我认识到了文化艺术繁荣的背后，一定有一个强大的社会支撑。

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Eating No-nos

Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

Now， our side of the car constant more up， the environment also increasingly worse! That the air around us there are many harmful substances。

Therefore， we want to Sue around things start to do。

For example， we can go to school by bike or walk， it can exercise。

If you have time can use less elevator， many climb stairs。

We can not only physical exercise， but also to protect our environment。

此刻，我们身边的汽车不断的多了起来，环境也越来越糟糕!以至于我们周围的空气有很多有害物质。

所以，我们要苏身边的小事做起。

比如，我们能够骑自行车上学或者步行，这样还能够锻炼身体。

有时光的话能够少用电梯，多爬楼梯。

我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。

When you ask a foreign what’s his impression about Chinese, he will say Chinese people are friendly and kind, but if you ask his impression about Chinese people when they are meeting in social occasion, he will answer you with the drink. It is a tradition for Chinese people that when they invite friends, they must prepare a lot of wine, the guests need to be drunk, because it means the hosts do a good job on treating their friends.

Wine culture in China is very popular, it reflects on the business communication, too.

“不到长城非好汉，到了长城腿打颤。”长城一定又高又大吧，一个暑假，我们一家人到北京八达岭长城游览。

我们漫步在长城上。长城是古代重要的军事防御工程，城墙一边高一低，高的一边是防御敌人的，低的这边朝着自己国家，低的这边不修高，我想一是节约材料，二是不用自己人防自己人吧。

继续往上走，一座烽火台屹立在眼前，并没有因久经风雨而损坏。看见烽火台，我仿佛就看见了古时候的士兵，精神抖擞地立在长城上，要报效国家。烽火台里面是清凉的，就算是挤满了人也一样。可外面骄阳似火、暑气逼人，也不知道是为什么。

越往上走，每一步台阶也越高，有的到了膝盖。道路也还是挺宽，大概能过四五匹马了。汗水也是如瀑布般流着，这下“大自然牌空调”就起到了巨大的作用。在城墙高的一边，有很多方形的洞，把头探出去，一股凉爽的风迎面而来，像空调一样舒适。这样给自己降温，盛过吃冰棍解暑。

吹完风往前走，不一会儿就来到了好汉坡，哈哈，我以后是好汉了，不过我并没有腿打颤嘛。往下鸟瞰，在绵连不断不断的青山上，连接天边的万里长城弯弯曲曲，像一只巨龙，蜿蜒盘旋，环绕在青山之上，前不见头，后不见尾，壮观极了。

看着眼前宏伟的景象，自然而然就想起了修建长城的人们，我开始脑补各种画面。长城不只是城墙，还同大量的城障、亭标等相结合，结构十分复杂。可当时的人们没有火车、吊车等大型工具，他们是如何修建的呢?他们靠着一双双手，一双双肩，把一块块石头垒起来，修建的人们有很多都死在了那里，但他们修建的长城从未倒塌。

长城是中国军事与文化上的奇迹;是一条巨龙;是中国人民血汗与智慧的结晶，让人无法忘怀。

Tourism in China

Recent years have seen a tency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban resits travel regularly, and 28% rural resits also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.

Facing this tency, we can&’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people&’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What&’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.

【译文】

中国旅游

最近几年，在中国的趋势，旅游业增长较快。根据最近的一项调查显示一些专家认为，约47%城镇居民定期作出旅行，28%的农村居民，也使他们的全国巡演。该调查还显示，更多的人在旅游有兴趣，并会在将来加入军队。

面对这一趋势，我们不能不说是负责任的开发一些潜在因素。在第一个地方，随着改革开放政策，对中国人民的生活水平有了很大提高，因此，他们大多数都不能周游。更重要的是，它相信，人们现在更积极的态度，旅游业，把它作为一种生活方式。此外，旅游设施正在变得越来越好。例如，交通运输发展迅速，许多景点都已经上市。

【中央建议】生态环境质量总体改善，主要污染物排放总量大幅减少;以提高环境质量为核心，实行最严格的环境保护制度;形成人与自然和谐发展现代化建设新格局，推进美丽中国建设。

【专家解读】建设“美丽中国”，加大环境治理力度是重中之重。规划建议确定到2020年实现生态环境质量总体改善，这与多年来“环境质量恶化趋势得到初步控制”“生态环境质量局部有所改善”等表述有本质差别，表明污染防治阶段和要求的转变。要实现这一目标，必须以提高环境质量为核心，形成政府、企业、公共共治的严格、严密的环境治理体系，才能给子孙留下天蓝、地绿、水净的家园。

【中央建议】改革环境治理基础制度。实行省以下环保机构监测监察执法垂直管理制度。建立全国统一的实时在线环境监控系统。探索建立跨地区环保机构。开展环保督察巡视，严格环保执法。

【专家解读】现行以块为主的地方环保管理体制，使一些地方重发展轻环保、干预环保监测监察执法，使环保责任难以落实。规划建议提出的省以下环保机构监测监察执法垂直管理，主要指省级环保部门直接管理市(地)县的监测监察机构，承担其人员和工作经费，市(地)级环保局实行以省级环保厅(局)为主的双重管理体制。这是对我国环保管理体制的一项重大改革，有利于增强环境执法的统一性、权威性、有效性。

【中央建议】根据资源环境承载力调节城市规模，依托山水地貌优化城市形态和功能，实行绿色规划、设计、施工标准。

【专家解读】这对于提出构建科学合理的城市化格局，为克服“大城市病”提出了治本之策。近年来，我国新兴城市崛起很快，原有城市也大规模扩展，出现了高楼林立、人口密集、环境污染等问题。这次规划建议通过根据资源环境承载力调整城镇化发展战略，增加发展的绿色元素和生态功能，可以引导城市发展走上绿色化道路。

International Womens Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by womens groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Womens Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand womens suffrage.

The idea of an International Womens Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:

1909

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Womans Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

1910

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Womens Day, international in character, to honour the movement for womens rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911

As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Womens Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Womens Day.

1913-1914

As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Womens Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.

1917

With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Womens Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international womens movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations womens conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand womens rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Womens Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of womens rights.

The Role of the United Nations

Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to societys most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the worlds women.

范本二

Some 15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights。 A hundred year on, the pertinence of this event is honored through IWD’s 2008 global theme ‘Shaping Progress’.

1908年，一万五千名妇女走上纽约街头，这缩短工作时间、提高工资待遇、享有选举权游行示威。100年之后，今年国际妇女节的主题是“塑造进步”

In just three years, 2011 will see IWD’s Centenary – 100 years of women’s united action for global equality and change. Organizations around the world have already commenced planning fo r their IWD Centenary celebrations.

三年后将是国际妇女节100周年，也是各为妇女为全球平等和改变共同行动100周年。世界各地有关组织已经开始为国际妇女节百年华诞张罗庆典。

The first International Women’s Day was launched on 8 March 1911 in Copenhagen by Clara Zetkin, Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.From joozone.com. www.en369.cn/zhongkao/2011/0929/20291.html

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the “white ribbon” campaign, which delivers the message that men are opposed to some other men’s violence against women.

1991年，由一群加拿大男性公民倡议发起的“白丝带”活动，就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。

Women’s Day marks the role of women in both past and the present. However , the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings – honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.

“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于：3月8日这天，各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓;3月8日之后，一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散。
