>Venice may be put on endangered list
威尼斯将面临生存危机

UNESCO said it would examine a proposal to put Venice on its endangered list if the lagoon city does not issue a permanent ban on cruise ships docking there, according to the Italian news agency Ansa.
据意大利安莎通讯社报道，联合国教科文组织称其正在审查一项提案，如果威尼斯不永久禁止游轮停靠，就会将这座环礁湖城列入濒危名录。

The United Nations agency said on Monday it will discuss the issue at its plenary session on July 16-31.
联合国教科文组织6月21日称，将在7月16日至31日的全体大会上讨论这一问题。

If approved, the agency could demand urgent action from the Italian government by next February.
如果提案通过，教科文组织将要求意大利政府在明年2月前采取紧急措施。

Early in June, Venetians were caught by surprise when a cruise liner sailed into the lagoon city for the first time since the pandemic began, despite an announcement from the Italian government that the ships would be banned from the historic center.
6月初，一艘远洋游轮驶入威尼斯，让当地人大吃一惊。这是疫情暴发以来首次有游轮停靠，而且意大利政府此前已宣布禁止船舶进入这座历史中心城市。

"A long-term solution is urgently needed," UNESCO said. "A solution that will prevent total access to the lagoon, redirecting them to more suitable ports in the area."
联合国教科文组织称："现在急需一个长期的解决方案，一个能够完全避免游轮进入环礁湖并指引其停靠到更合适的港口的方案。"

It warned that Venice's survival will be even more in peril if the lagoon city doesn't issue a permanent ban on cruise ships.
联合国教科文组织警告称，如果威尼斯不永久禁止游轮停靠，将会陷入更大的生存危机。
