Detailed reading
In the main body of the passage, how does the lecturer explain dangers facing the heritage sites
By giving examples
What happened to these heritage sites Let’s see them one by one.
Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces. The long-term natural forces, such as wind, water and temperature, can gradually wear down heritage sites. For instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza is now several metres shorter than it was originally.
遗产地会受到自然力的威胁。长期的自然力，比如风、水和温度，会逐渐侵蚀遗产地。例如，吉萨的大金字塔现在比原来矮了几米。
Natural disasters, the sudden and powerful natural forces, can lead to the destruction of heritage sites: in 2003, a terrible earthquake shook south-eastern lran and ruined large parts of the city o Bam, an incredible UNESCO cultural heritage site.
自然灾害，即突发而强大的自然力，会破坏遗产地:2003年，一场可怕的地震袭击了伊朗东南部，摧毁了巴姆古城的大部分地区。该古城是一处令人叹为观止的联合国教科文组织文化遗产地。

Another big danger is human activities. Wars can cause a great deal of damage to both cultural and natural heritage sites. Sometimes, amazing ancient clay sculptures and buildings are accidentally destroyed by missile attacks during periods of violence. In some conflict areas where civil wars often break out, fighters have even destroyed heritage sites on purpose.
另一个重大威胁是人类活动。战争可以严重破坏文化与自然遗产地。有时，惊人的古代泥塑与建筑会在暴力期间被导弹意外摧毁。在一些经常爆发内战的冲突地区，战士甚至会故意炸毁遗产地。
How do wars threaten heritage sites Can you give an example
Sometimes, amazing ancient clay sculptures are accidentally destroyed by missile attack during periods of violence. Some fighters even destroy heritage sites on purpose.

Meanwhile, World Heritage status may give rise to a series of problems. One of the problems is the flood of tourists. Millions of tourists travel to UNESCO Worlo Heritage Sites every year, so it is only natural that the sites suffer a bit of wear and tear.
与此同时，世界遗产这一身份也会带来一系列问题。其中之一是大量的游客。每年有大量游客到联合国教科文组织世界遗产地旅游，因此这些遗产地日渐磨损是很自然的
The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are typical examples of unique architecture. Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are wearing down these ancient buildings and the long-term consequences could lead to irreparable destruction of the internal structure
柬埔寨吴哥的寺庙是独特建筑的典型例子。每天，攀爬狭窄石阶的数千名游客磨损着这些古建筑，长期的影响对内部结构可能造成不可修复的破坏。
The flood of tourists.

What activity is causing damage to the temples of Angkor
Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are wearing down these ancient buildings, which could lead to irreparable destruction of the internal structure.
As far as I am concerned , it is ____ to gain UNESCO World Heritage status, because ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Critical thinking
Is it good or bad to gain UNESCO World Heritage status Why
Due to human population growth, the demand for production and consumption of goods increases. Widespread development puts our cultural and natural heritage sites in danger. Many heritage sites are even at risk of being lost forever.
由于人口增长，商品生产与消费需求也随之增长。大范围的发展让文化与自然遗产地处于危险中。很多遗产地甚至面临永久消失的危险。
Take the Historic Centre of Vienna in Austria as an example. The city has been recognized as the musical capital of Europe since the 16th century, home to the likes of Mozart and Beethoven. It is now on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to high-rise construction projects in central Vienna.
以奥地利的维也纳历史中心为例。自 16 世纪以来，维也纳就是公认的欧洲音乐之都，莫扎特、贝多芬这一类的音乐家居住于此。如今因为市中心高层的建筑项目，维也纳历史中心被列入了《世界濒危遗产名录》
Why is the Historic Center of Vienna in danger
Due to high-rise construction projects in central Vienna.

Such dangers can have disastrous outcomes not only for the sites themselves, but also for people. For instance, the Great Barrier Reef off the north-east coast of Australia is a natural heritage site in danger. Due to high seawater temperatures caused by global warming , a large amount of coral is killed and parts of the reef are seriously affected, which harms its fragile natural ecology.
这些威胁不仅会给遗产地本身造成灾难性后果，也会对人们产生影响。例如，澳大利亚东北海岸的大堡礁是一处濒危自然遗产地。由于全球变暖引起海水温度升高，大量珊瑚死亡，部分珊瑚礁受到严重影响，这危害了其脆弱的自然生态。
As well as being home to a wide diversity of ocean species, the reef can boost tourism and fishing in the local area, providing many job opportunities. lt also helps protect the coastline against waves and floods. If the reef disappears, many people's lives and possibly even their homes will suffer greatly.
珊瑚礁不但是各种各样海洋物种的家园，还可以推动当地旅游业与渔业的发展，提供许多就业机会。它还有助于保护海岸线免受海浪与洪水侵袭。如果珊瑚礁消失，许多人的生活，甚至可能还有他们的家园都会深受其害。

Heritage protection is at the top of the agenda for the benefit of all mankind. The more we acknowledge the outstanding universal value of our heritage sites, the more likely we are to treat them with respect. These sites are the great wonders of our world and tell the story of human civilization.
为了全人类的利益，遗产保护是当务之急。我们越明白遗产地突出的普遍价值，我们越可能会尊重它们。这些遗产地是我们世界的伟大奇观，诉说着人类文明的故事。
