(Li Dan) Hello, everyone. This is Li Dan from HEP TV. I am reporting from Hoh Xil, Qinghai.
Hoh Xil is a special place in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Just like its meaning "beautiful girl" in Mongolian, Hoh Xil is famous for its amazing natural beauty and its unique ecological importance. It entered the World Natural Heritage List in 2017.
等同于is known for 因……而出名
Now, I am standing near the major headwaters area of the Changjiang River. Follow our camera and you can see the breathtaking plateau landscapes, beautiful snow-capped mountains, deep blue lakes, and green wetlands.
How do people working here feel about this area Let‘s talk to Dorji. Hello, Dorji! Can you tell us something about this beautiful place
(Dorji) Hi, Li Dan. I work at the Hoh Xil Protection Station. I think Hoh Xil is truly a heaven for wild animals. There are more than 230 different kinds of animals, such as brown bears, wolves, and eagles. The most famous one is the Tibetan antelope. Between May and August every year, thousands of these lovely creatures travel through here. It is amazing. I really love this place.
different+ 可数名词复数
(Li Dan)(Dan) I hope I can see them today. Thanks, Dorji.
The surprising landscapes and diverse wildlife make Hoh Xil a wonderful place.
Let's appreciate and protect this natural wonder. Thank you for joining us and see you soon.
长难句分析:本句主语是I,谓语是hope,其后是省略了引导词that的宾语从句;在宾语从句中,that只起引导作用,不作句子成分时省略。
思考:What are the difficulties in protecting Hoh Xil
The weather is extremely cold and snowy, making it hard for people to stay and work there. It’s very far away from cities, so getting supplies and help can be tough. Wild animals need a lot of space, but people sometimes want to use that space too, which can cause conflicts. Some people might try to hunt the animals or destroy their homes for resources, which is bad for the wildlife.
A Hoh Xil is in Qinghai Province. ( )
B The major headwaters area of the Changjiang River is in Hoh Xil.
( )
