课文翻译
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
thin adj.稀薄的(反)thick
have to do sth不得不做某事
在短途徒步旅行中
adj. 白雪覆盖的
that引导的定语从句
看清
a herd of 一群
=a group of = a school of =a flock of
This is why+句子：这就是……的原因；这就是为什么……，why 引导表语从句
参考译文：
空气很稀薄，我们不得不在从营地出发的短途徒步旅行中休息几次。在我们的左边，白雪皑皑的山脉消失在云层中，看上去几乎触手可及。在我们面前的平原上，我们隐约看到一群体形优美的动物。这就是为什么我们在这里观察藏羚羊。
Paragraph 1：
To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch.
本句是一个主从复合句。主句是：snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds. 从句that seem almost close enough to touch 是关系代词that引导的定语从句。that连接主从句，代指先行词clouds并在从句中作主语，不能省略。
enough可以用做形容词，副词。在句中作副词，用于修饰形容词close，置于被修饰词之后，其后常接 for 短语，to do 短语或 for sb. to do...结构。
Paragraph 1：重点句型分析
This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
这是一个主从复合句，从句是why引导的表语从句。
类似句式还有：That is why+句子
知识扩展：
That/ This/ It is because+句子 ： 这/那是因为……（because引导表语从句）
The reason why...is/was that... 的原因是…… （why引导定语从句；that引导表语从句）
Paragraph 1：重点句型分析
v-ing短语作状语
be struck by被……所震撼 =be skocked by
be reminded of 使想起=remind sb of
they are in 是省略了关系代词的定语从句
are being hunted 正在被猎杀 ， 这是现在进行时的被动语态
valuable adj. 有价值的；宝贵的
参考译文：
藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。看着它们在绿色的草地上缓慢移动。我被它们的美丽打动了。我还想起了它们所处的危险。因其珍贵的羊毛，它们正遭受非法猎杀。
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.
Paragraph 2：知识点注释及课文翻译
Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty.
Watching them move slowly across the green grass作时间状语，相当于一个状语从句。原句=When I watched them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. 也可以改写成省略的状语从句=When watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty.
watch sb do sth 看着某人做了某事
watch sb doing sth. 看着某人正在做某事
be struck by 被...打动
Paragraph 2：重点句型分析
I’m also reminded of the danger they are in.
这是一个主从复合句，主句是I’m also reminded of the danger，从句是they are in，这里省略了引导定语从句的关系词that/which. 原句=I’m also reminded of the danger (that/which) they are in.
关系代词在定语从句中作宾语，可以省略。
I’m also reminded of ..是被动结构，主动结构：
remind sb of sth 提醒某人某事；让某人想起某事
Paragraph 2：重点句型分析
国家自然保护区
是……的庇护所
V-ing短语作主语，谓语动词用单数
参考译文：
我的导游是羌塘的一位村民扎西。他在羌塘国家级自然保护区工作。该保护区是西藏西北地区动植物的庇护所。对于扎西来说，这片土地是神圣的，保护野生动植物是一种生活方式。他说：“我们不是在拯救动物。其实我们是在拯救自己。”
My guide is Zhaxi,a villager
from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life.
这是一个由并列连词连接的并列句。第二个句子主语是protecting the wildlife，所以谓语动词用单数is。
