Passage One
短文一
Supporters call it "wild camping"; opponents call it "illegal camping".
支持者称之为“野外露营”,反对者称之为“非法露营”。
What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the past few months, with increasing numbers of visitors pitching their tents on any bit of land they fancy in the UK.
双方都承认的一点是过去几个月出现了一股热潮,越来越多的游客在英国任何一块他们喜欢的土地上搭起帐篷。
In part, this reflects the fact that official campsites have been wholly or partially closed, or are overflowing in a summer when fewer people are going abroad.
这在一定程度上反映了这样一个事实,即官方露营地已经全部关闭或部分关闭,或者在出国人数减少的夏季。
It is also cheap, at a time when many are worried about what the economic future holds.
官方露营地人满为患。此外,在许多人担心经济前景的时候,这也是一种成本低廉的选择。
But it may also be an expression of a desire for going outdoors- a response to the months of lockdown.
但这也可能表示人们对户外活动的渴望一对数月隔离封锁的回应。
Most of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has been negative.
关于野外露营热潮的大部分报道都是负面的。
Camping in public parks has now been banned for August and the early part of September because campers dump litter, human waste, and even their tents on the grassland.
由于露营者将垃圾、人体排泄物甚至帐篷丢弃在草地上,8月和9月上旬英国已禁止在公共公园露营。
Similar action has been taken even in Scotland, where camping is usually permitted on most of its open land.
甚至苏格兰也采取了类似的行动,在苏格兰通常允许人们在大部分开阔的土地上露营。
Clearly there have to be rules.
显然,必须要有规则。
It would make sense that wild campers need to ask for permission to camp from landowners, especially outside Scotland, where the law is far more restrictive.
野外露营者需要征得土地所有者的许可才能露营,这是合情合理的,尤其是在苏格兰以外的地区,那些地方的法律限制要严格得多。
It would be common sense for people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit.
按照常理,人们应该使用小型帐篷,并且在游玩后不留下任何痕迹。
They have been attracted by a patch of land this close to wilderness, and it is their responsibility to keep it that way.
他们被一片如此接近荒野的土地所吸引,那么他们就有责任保持这片土地的原貌。
