但是这些人忽视了国际旅游可能会给当地环境和历史造成的灾难性的影响。

But what these people fail to see is that international tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment and local history.

就我而言，我坚定地认为国外旅游者的数量应得到限制，理由如下：

As for me, I'm firmly convinced that the number of foreign tourists should be limited, for the following reasons:

另外，为了吸引旅游者，大量人工设施被修建，这对环境是不利的。

In addition, in order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment.

由于缺乏独特的文化，一些地方不再吸引旅游者。因此，国外旅游者数量的快速增加可能终会导致当地旅游业的衰败。

For lack of distinct culture, some places will not attract tourists any more. Consequently, the fast rise in number of foreign tourists may eventually lead to the decline of local tourism.

近些年，父母要求他们的孩子接受额外的教育呈增长的势头。

There is a growing tendency for parents to ask their children to accept extra educational programs over the recent years.

这一现象在全世界许多地方已引起了广泛关注。

This phenomenon has caused wide public concern in many places of world.

这是真的吗?这些年我收集的信息让我相信这些文化、艺术项目并没有许多政府想象的那么重要。事实上，基础设施建设非常重要，应该放在首位。

But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think. In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.

那些赞成建设文化艺术项目的人认为文化环境会吸引更多的游客，这将给当地居民带来巨大的利益。一些人甚至把建设文化艺术项目与发展经济建设等同起来。

Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents. Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.

然而，很少有证据表明大公司愿意把巨额的资金投到一个连水电这些基础设施都不完善的地方去。

Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.

通过以上讨论，我们有理由相信在人们的生活和经济发展方面，基础建设比艺术文化项目发挥更大的作用。

From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.

那些城市的规划者们如果忽视这一点，将会付出他们无法承受的代价。

Those urban planners who are blind to this point will pay a heavy price, which they cannot afford it.

农民进城打工正成为增长的趋势，这一问题在世界上大部分城市已引起普遍关注。

There is a growing tendency these days for many people who live in rural areas to come into and work in city. This problem has caused wide public concern in most cities all over the world.

一项调查显示许多民工认为在城市打工不仅有较高的收入，而且能学到一些新技术。

An investigation shows that many emigrants think that working at city provide them with not only a higher salary but also the opportunity of learning new skills.

必须指出，农业的发展似乎赶不上农村人口的增加，并且仍有成千上万的农民过着缺衣挨饿的贫寒生活。

It must be noted that improvement in agriculture seems to not be able to catch up with the increase in population of rural areas and there are millions of peasants who still live a miserable life and have to face the dangers of exposure and starvation.

尽管民工对城市的经济发展做出了巨大贡献，然而他们也不可避免的带来了一些负面影响。

Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.
