A DAY IN THE CLOUDS
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 ante-lopes.
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.
Para（1-2）What I see
氣很稀薄，我們不得不在從營地出發的短途徒步旅行中休息幾次。在我們的左邊，白雪皚皚的山脈消失在云層中，看上去幾乎觸手可及。在我們面前的平原上，我們隱約看到一群體形優美的動物。這就是為什么我們在這里觀察藏羚羊。
藏羚羊生活在西藏，新疆和青海的平原上。看著他們在綠色的草地上緩緩移動，我被他們的美打動了。我還想起了他們所處的危險，因為他們珍貴的羊絨，他們正遭受非法獵殺。

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.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
Para（3-6）What I hear
我的導游是羌塘的一位村民扎西。他在羌塘國家級自然保護區工作。該保護區是西藏西北地區動植物的庇護所。對于扎西來說，這片土地是神圣的，保護野生動植物是一種生活方式。他說：“我們不是在拯救動物。其實我們是在拯救自己。”
上個世紀80年代和90年代對于藏羚羊來說是一個糟糕的時期。藏羚羊的數量下降了50％以上。獵人為了賺錢而射殺羚羊。隨著新公路和鐵路的修建，它們的棲息地變得越來越小。
In order to save this species from extinction，the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015，the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
Para（3-6）What I hear
為了使這個物種免于滅絕，中國政府將其置于國家保護之下。扎西和其他志愿者晝夜守衛著羚羊，保護它們免受襲擊。橋梁和大門的增設，讓藏羚羊可以輕松移動，并使它們免受汽車和火車的傷害。
這些措施是有效的。藏羚羊的數量已經恢復，2015年6月，藏羚羊從瀕危物種名單中被剔除。但是，由于對藏羚羊的威脅尚未消失，政府并沒有打算停止這些保護項目。

Para（7）What I think
In the evening，I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife， but if we really want to save the planet，we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
晚上，我喝著茶，看著星星。我想起了藏羚羊和扎西告訴我的。為了保護野生動物，我們已經做了很多工作，但是如果我們真的想拯救地球，就必須改變生活方式。只有學會與大自然和諧相處，我們才不會成為野生動植物和地球的威脅。
