Future of Welsh national parks report criticised 威尔士国家公园的未来规划报告遭批评

Damian Hirst opens new exhibition in Venice 达米恩·赫斯特威尼斯新个展

文字稿

It's a row about the future of our most iconic landscapes. Wales has three national parks. They attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. But back in 2015, a review commissioned by the Welsh government suggested they needed to do more to help the people living in them, attracting green businesses, jobs and affordable housing. Several of the conservation charities taking part in the process found they couldn’t support the study’s findings. The draft, which has been obtained by BBC Wales, makes no mention, they say, of a long established principle – that the main purpose of a national park is nature conservation.

这是关于我们最具代表性的风景未来规划的争论。威尔士有三个国家公园，每年会吸引成千上万的游客。早在2015年，受威尔士政府委托展开的一项调查报告提议：政府需要给居住在此区域的居民更多帮助，吸引绿色商业，创造更多工作机会和提供工薪阶层买得起的房子。但一些参与了此报告调研活动的环境保护慈善机构说他们不赞成此报告的调查结果。BBC威尔士拿到了一份报告的草案，其中没有谈及任何关于国家公园长期以来遵循的原则，那就是国家公园的主要目的是为了自然资源的保护。

With almost 200 objects on show, Damien Hirst's new exhibition in Venice has been nearly a decade in the making. It’s called Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable because Hirst has created a backstory to it. These objects have been retrieved from an imagined collector from 2,000 years ago whose boat sank. 

有近乎两百件作品参展，这个在威尼斯举办的达米恩·赫斯特全新个人展览的筹备期用了近十年的时间。此次展览被称为“《残骸中难以置信的珍宝》（Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable）”，因为赫斯特给展览创造了一个背景故事。根据这个故事，所有的展品都是从一位虚构的，生活在两千年前的收藏家的沉船中找回的。
