文字稿
What do these places have in common?
這些地方有什么共同點(diǎn)？
The Great Wall of China, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the Egyptian Pyramids, and the Taj Mahal in India.
中國(guó)長(zhǎng)城、澳大利亞大堡礁、埃及金字塔和印度泰姬陵。
They're some of the most famous places in the world – and they're all on the World Heritage List.
它們是世界上最著名的一些風(fēng)景名勝，而且都被列入了《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》。
But what does that mean? It's a label given to landmarks or areas of cultural, historical or scientific significance.
但這份名錄意味著什么呢？“世界遺產(chǎn)” 是賦予具有文化、歷史價(jià)值或科學(xué)意義的古跡或景觀的稱號(hào)。
More than one thousand sites are registered around the world.
全世界共有一千多處被認(rèn)定的遺產(chǎn)。
They're protected by the World Heritage Convention, which more than 160 countries have signed up to.
這些遺產(chǎn)受到《世界遺產(chǎn)公約》的保護(hù)，已有160多個(gè)國(guó)家簽署了這份《公約》。
Italy has more protected sites than any other country. The list is looked after by Unesco, which is part of the United Nations.
意大利受到保護(hù)的遺產(chǎn)數(shù)量比其它任何國(guó)家都多?！妒澜邕z產(chǎn)名錄》由聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織負(fù)責(zé)管理，該組織是聯(lián)合國(guó)的一個(gè)專門機(jī)構(gòu)。
So, how does a place get listed? Well, it has to meet one of ten key criteria – such as representing "a masterpiece of human creative genius" or containing "natural phenomena".
那么，怎樣才能被列入《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》呢？首先必須滿足十項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的一個(gè)，比如代表 “人類創(chuàng)造力的經(jīng)典之作” 或包含 “罕見、絕妙的自然現(xiàn)象”。
Then it's a three-step process. First, it is nominated by the country in which it's located. Next, experts examine whether it should be included or not. And finally, it's voted on by a Unesco committee.
接下來(lái)的過(guò)程分三步。第一步，由遺產(chǎn)所在國(guó)家提名申報(bào)。第二步，專家們審查是否應(yīng)該將該遺產(chǎn)列入名錄。第三步，由聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織下屬的遺產(chǎn)委員會(huì)投票決定評(píng)選結(jié)果。
More sites are added every year. So, which would you visit first?
每年都有更多的遺產(chǎn)被列入《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》。你會(huì)先去參觀哪一個(gè)？
