沙漠

(shāmò)

A: The world is full of amazing things! A lake that disappeared from the Dunhuang desert for 300 years has reappeared.

世界真是无奇不有！敦煌沙漠里消失了三百年之久的湖泊又回来了。

(shìjiè zhēnshì wúqíbùyǒu. dūnhuánɡ shāmò lǐ xiāoshīle sānbǎinián zhījiǔ de húbó yòu huíláile.) 

B: Yup. I saw a report that said that the number of wild animals and plants have gradually recovered. It has already become an oasis full of water and grass. 

是啊,我看报道说,野生动物和植被的数量也在逐渐恢复。那儿已经是一片水草丰美的绿洲了。

(shìā,wǒ kànbàodào shuō, yěshēnɡdònɡwù hé zhíbèi de shùliànɡ yězài zhújiàn huīfù. nàer yǐjīnɡ shì yīpiàn shuǐcǎo fēnɡměi de lǜzhōule.) 

A: Experts say that this will prevent the invasion of the desert. It will have a proactive impact when it comes to protecting the culture and ecosystem of Dunhuang. 

专家说这将会遏制沙漠的入侵,对保护敦煌文化和生态环境起到积极的效果。

(zhuānjiā shuō zhè jiānɡhuì èzhì shāmò de rùqīn, duì bǎohù dūnhuánɡ wénhuà hé shēnɡtài huánjìnɡ qǐdào jījíde xiàoɡuǒ.)

B:  I give my fullest respect to the environmental workers in the northwest. 

向大西北的环境工作者献上崇高的敬意！
