THEME PARKS主题公园
A theme park is a collection of rides, exhibitions or other attractions that are based on a common theme. Unlike traditional amusement parks, theme parks often want to teach visitors something. At the World Park, one of the largest theme parks in China, visitors can look at buildings, castles and statues from more than thirty countries.
主题公园是围绕某公共主题所开设的一系列集游乐游玩,展览以及其它游览项目.不同于传统的游乐园,主题公园通常意于向游客普及某方面知识.作为中国最大的主题公园之一,世界公园所展现给游客的是三十多个国家的建筑、城堡与雕像.
At the China Ethnic Culture Park, people can learn about the customs, costumes, and culture of China's fifty-five minorities. There are also theme parks about cartoon characters, animals --even about water. What they all have in common is that they combine fun with the opportunity to learn something.
中国少数民族文化馆展现的是中国五十五个少数民族的习俗、服饰、文化.当然也有卡通人物、动物甚至水的主题公园.这些展馆的共同点即寓教于乐.
Many people come to theme parks looking for thrills and entertainment. But theme parks also try to make sure that visitors leave knowing more about their theme. A good example of a theme park that both educates and entertains is Ocean Park in Hong Kong. Visitors to Ocean Park will find all the rides and attractions that can be found in most parks, but they will also find many opportunities to learn about life in the ocean. More than 50.000 students visit the park every year. The park has a conservation centre that helps protect marine animals and their habitats in the rivers and coastal waters of Asia. Ocean Park is built on both sides of a mountain on the south side of Hong Kong Island. The park is divided into two sections. Having enjoyed the rides at the Headland, visitors can take the shuttle to the Lowland. At the Lowland, they can explore the past at the Discovery of the Ancient World and examine giant footprints at the dinosaur exhibition, Visitors can also learn about coral and sharks at Dolphin University, look at the winged beauties in the Butterfly House, or admire An An and Jia Jla, the two giant pandas.
为了寻求刺激跟娱乐,许多人慕名前往主题公园.但是主题公园也在试图确保游客不枉此行,对主题有更多的了解.寓教于乐的典型莫过于香港的海洋公园,除了那些在其它公园都能找到的游乐项目、景点外,它带给人们更多的是了解海洋生命的机会.每年游览公园的学生超出5万人.海洋公园设有保护中心旨在保护亚洲淡水及海洋水域的海洋动物及栖息地.海洋公园位于香港岛南部山脉的两侧.公园分为两段.游客在享受完山顶的游乐项目后,可搭乘往返汽车前往低地.在低地,游客们探索古世界发现的历史,在恐龙展览馆研究古代足迹.游客还可以在鲸鱼学院了解珊瑚、鲨鱼,蝴蝶屋观看漂亮的翼壮生物,或者两只大熊猫安安跟佳佳.
