China’s “ice city” Harbin — warm visitors from all over the world
(Harbin Ice-Snow World in Harbin, northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, December 31, 2023. /CFP)
This winter, the city of Harbin has spared no effort to show sincerity and creativity in entertaining, if not spoiling, tourists from all over the world.
Currently, Chinese netizens have portrayed the city as a generous big brother who is doing everything possible to entertain guests coming from afar with its unique charms and creative ideas.
Harbin has long been a major tourist attraction in winter, and it has garnered more attention this winter. It ranked fifth among the most popular cities for the 2024 New Year holiday, following Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. Among the top 10 cities, Harbin is the only one located in northeast China. During the recent three-day New Year holiday, Harbin received over 3 million tourists, creating a revenue of 5.9 billion yuan ($ 826 million), according to the latest data from the Harbin municipal bureau of culture, radio, television and tourism. Both numbers surpassed historic highs.
The boom cannot be attributed to pure luck since Harbin has been preparing for it for a year, said He Jing, director of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Heilongjiang Province. She said the city has been rolling out plans since the beginning of 2023 to boost its tourism sector, attracting attention on various social media platforms. “We stand in the shoes of tourists. We pay special attention to their comments under our videos published on social media platforms. Whatever tourists complain about, we move and improve immediately,” she told CMG.
To “rescue” tourists who are not used to the cold weather, the city built many temporary heated rest rooms for them, providing warm drinks for free. Frozen pears, a local specialty, were cut into the shapes of flowers so that tourists could enjoy them conveniently. The city even flies a big artificial moon over the Saint Sophia Cathedral so that tourists can take stylish pictures. “We want to impress tourists with all the small details, letting them feel comfortable and respected,” said He.

长难句分析
1. This winter, the city of Harbin has spared no effort to show sincerity and creativity in entertaining, if not spoiling, tourists from all over the world.
这个冬天,哈尔滨市不遗余力地展示其真诚和创意,以款待,甚至可以说是宠爱,来自世界各地的游客。
句子结构:时间状语:This winter,主语:the city of Harbin,谓语:has spared,宾语:no effort,目的状语:to show sincerity and creativity in entertaining, (if not spoiling), tourists from all over the world.
难点解析:”if not spoiling” 是一个插入语,这里表示表示”甚至可以说是宠爱”。”if not”在英文中常表示”如果不是”或”就算不是”这样的条件或让步关系。但在此句中,”if not”实际上是在连接两个并列的描述:一是”entertaining tourists from all over the world”(款待来自世界各地的游客),二是”spoiling tourists”(宠坏游客)。这里的”if not”并不在表示一个明确的条件或让步关系,而是在用一种轻松、非正式的方式将两个描述连接起来,表达一种递进或夸张的语气。
2. Currently, Chinese netizens have portrayed the city as a generous big brother who is doing everything possible to entertain guests coming from afar with its unique charms and creative ideas.
目前,中国网民将这座城市描绘成一个慷慨大方的老大哥,正在尽其所能地用其独特的魅力和创意来款待远道而来的客人。
句子结构:主语:Chinese netizens,谓语:have portrayed,宾语:the city,宾语补足语:as a generous big brother,定语从句:who is doing everything possible to entertain guests coming from afar with its unique charms and creative ideas(修饰big brother).
难点解析:”portray...as...” 是一个固定搭配,意为”把……描绘成……”;定语从句中 “who is doing everything possible” 和 “to entertain guests coming from afar” 是主要的动作和目的,而 “with its unique charms and creative ideas” 是方式状语。
3. “We stand in the shoes of tourists. We pay special attention to their comments under our videos published on social media platforms. Whatever tourists complain about, we move and improve immediately,” she told CMG.
“我们设身处地为游客着想。我们特别关注他们在社交媒体平台上发布的视频下方的评论。无论游客抱怨什么,我们都会立即采取行动进行改进,”她告诉CMG。
句子结构:直接引语内有三个句子:简单句:We stand in the shoes of tourists.
复合句:We pay special attention to their comments(主句) under our videos published on social media platforms(介词短语作定语). 复合句:Whatever tourists complain about(让步状语从句), we move and improve immediately(主句).
难点解析:”stand in the shoes of” 是一个习语,意为”设身处地”;”Whatever tourists complain about” 是一个让步状语从句,表示”无论游客抱怨什么”。
4. To “rescue” tourists who are not used to the cold weather, the city built many temporary heated rest rooms for them, providing warm drinks for free.
为了”帮助”那些不习惯寒冷天气的游客,该市为他们建造了许多临时的加热休息室,并免费提供热饮。
句子结构:主语:the city;谓语:built;宾语:many temporary heated rest rooms;目的状语:To “rescue” tourists who are not used to the cold weather(其中who引导定语从句修饰tourists);伴随状语:providing warm drinks for free
难点解析:”To ‘rescue’ tourists” 是一个目的状语,表示建造加热休息室的目的。”rescue”本意是营救,救助,在这里使用显得这个词显得比较幽默,可以翻译为”帮助”。”who are not used to the cold weather” 是一个定语从句,修饰 “tourists”,表示这些游客不习惯寒冷天气。

Blogging Australia
1. Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first, I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia’s first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I’ve got to know more about this country and its people.
2. What is your connection to Western Australia?
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
3. What do you love most about Western Australia?
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.
4. How does your love of nature influence your photography?
To work full time in travel, you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. I also enjoy photographing animals, such as dolphins and kangaroos.
5. Does your photography support environmental protection?
I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I’ve been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that’s part of the solution.
1. Which of the following statements best summarizes Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath’s career path?A.She was always passionate about photography and pursued it as a full-time job. |

C.She traveled extensively and decided to become a travel blogger to share her experiences. |
D.She worked as a chef, then became a professional photographer, and finally settled as a travel writer. |
A.Perth. | B.The Great Barrier Reef. |
C.The Kimberley region. | D.The Outback. |
A.She is indifferent to environmental problems. |
B.She uses her photography to raise awareness about environmental issues. |
C.She believes that her photography cannot make a difference. |
