2 _______________________________________________________________. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it.
這則島嶼管理員的招聘廣告吸引了全世界的興趣。這其實是一種絕妙的方法，
既突出了大堡礁的重要性，又強調了大堡礁需要人類保護。
__________________________________________________________________ About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than 25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
A. Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet.
Main idea: The Great Barrier Reef is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
大堡礁位于澳大利亞東北部近海處，是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整體面積接近日本的國土面積，甚至從外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁已有2,500萬年的歷史，由生長在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚組成。它是許多鳥類和海洋生物的棲息地。但如今，這一獨特又脆弱的區(qū)域正在遭受污染和氣候變化的威脅。
To get this job, the candidates had to make a short video showing how much they knew about the reef. They also needed to prove why they were the best person to do the job. Out of the thousands of applicants, eleven were selected, including a young woman from China. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK.
Main idea: Ben Southall from the UK got the job.
要想得到這份工作，應聘者需要拍攝一個簡短的視頻，展示自己對大堡礁的了解程度。另外，應聘者還需要證明為何自己是這個職位的最佳人選。數(shù)千名應聘者中，入選人有十一個，其中還包括一個年輕的中國姑娘。最終，來自英國的本·索撒爾獲得了這份工作。
_________________________________________________ In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his experiences. Ben later joked that the job should have been advertised not as the “best”, but the “busiest job in the world”!
D. Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker.
Main idea: Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker.
本在做島嶼管理員期間做了很多事情。除了發(fā)布博客、拍照片和寫關于大堡礁的文章外，本還多次在電視上露面號召保護大堡礁，并且擔任過國家地理頻道的主持人。在那之后，本把自己的經歷寫成了一本書。他后來開玩笑說，這個工作的招聘啟事上應該寫“世界上最繁忙的工作”，而不是“最棒的”。
__________________________________________________________________________
The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area. What's more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year.
B. Whether it was a genuine job or an eye-catching marketing event isn't really important.
Main idea: The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the Great Barrier Reef and the imoprtance to protect it.
不管這是一個真正的工作機會，還是一場吸引眼球的營銷活動，其實都不重要。最重要的是，全世界都認識到了這片大海的美麗。而且，人們還意識到環(huán)境存在于微妙的平衡之中，也知道了人類能夠且必須采取什么行動來保護大堡礁。只有如此，大堡礁才能繼續(xù)作為野生動物的安全棲息地以及每年數(shù)百萬游客夢寐以求的旅游目的地。
