随着社交媒体的流行，出现了很多网红景点，然后很多人会去排队“打卡”。这给景区的运营管理带来了很大挑战，而且对景点本身也会造成一定程度的破坏。
The challenge of Instagram tourism booms
by Zoe Lake & Maggie Rulli
If you're on Instagram, then chances are you have a friend who's taken a selfie at Joshua Tree National Park or one of the poppy fields in California, or maybe even atop a cliff overlooking the Colorado River known as Horseshoe Bend.
Instagram /ˈɪnstəɡræm/ 是美国的图片社交网站

overlook /ˌəʊvəˈlʊk/ v. 俯视（由look加上表示“在…之上”的前缀over-）
National parks and public lands across the country have seen an explosion in tourism in part due to the rise of social media and geo-tagging. However, amid the influx of crowds, there is a desperate effort to preserve the land for generations to come.

In Horseshoe Bend alone, tourism has risen from about 4,000 visitors a year to 2.2 million – that's over 4,000 in a single day. Tourism there took off in 2015, according to Michelle Kerns, deputy superintendent（主管） for the Glen Canyon Recreation Area, the unit of the U.S. National Parks Service that manages the Bend.
single /ˈsɪŋɡ(ə)l/ adj. 单个的（表示强调）
take off 起飞、飞速发展
deputy /ˈdepjuti/ n. 副职
The spike in tourists to Horseshoe Bend has become so large that it's required Kerns and her team to add new safeguards not just for the people visiting – such as constructing a railing along the cliffside so that tourists can snap selfies safely – but also for the land itself so future sightseers will be able to experience the parks as they always have been. "If we didn't, we would see a lot of resource damage," Kerns said. "We would see human waste; we would see trash."
spike /spaɪk/ n. 猛增
safeguard /ˈseɪfɡɑːd/ n. 安全措施、保护设施（由safe和guard组成）
construct /kənˈstrʌkt/ v. 建造

resource /ˈriːsɔːs/ n. 资源
human waste 指人的大小便
Striking this balance is paramount to those working in the parks as well as those who come to visit and experience some solitude in the wilderness. Jerry Ginsberg has spent the last 30 years taking photos of national parks and public lands across the U.S. He said that in his time as a photographer, he's seen the wilderness diminish as the population has grown.★

paramount /ˈpærəmaʊnt/ adj. 最重要的

photographer /fəˈtɒɡrəfə(r)/ n. 摄影师（由photograph加上表示人的后缀-er）
diminish /dɪˈmɪnɪʃ/ v. 减少、缩小
★ 这句话里diminish用了原型，因为它之前省略了to（see后面的动词不定式要省略to）
"One thing that makes me very sad is to see canyons（峡谷） and forests and trees that were formerly pristine（原始状态的） just completely destroyed," he said. "This sandstone that we're seeing here is really very soft and with a greater influx of people, it creates more wear and tear, and eventually, given enough time, they'll lose their scenic attractiveness."
formerly /ˈfɔːməli/ adv. 在过去、从前（由former加后缀-ly变成副词）
destroy /dɪˈstrɔɪ/ v. 破坏、毁坏
sandstone /ˈsændstəʊn/ n. 砂岩（由sand和stone组成）
wear and tear /ˈteə(r)/ 磨损
eventually /ɪˈventʃuəli/ adv. 最终
scenic /ˈsiːnɪk/ adj. 风景优美的（由scene加后缀-ic变成形容词）
attractiveness /əˈtræktɪvnəs/ n. 吸引力（由attractive加后缀-ness变成名词）
At the Grand Canyon, a world wonder that's no stranger to tourists, Ginsburg said that everyone should be able to capture the same gorgeous views as those before them, but also suggested that photographers look elsewhere. For example, while most people gather along the southern rim of the canyon, the quieter northern rim is just as spectacular.
wonder /ˈwʌndə(r)/ n. 奇迹、奇观
capture /ˈkæptʃə(r)/ v. 拍摄
gorgeous /ˈɡɔːdʒəs/ adj. 非常漂亮的
elsewhere /ˌelsˈweə(r)/ adv. 到别处

rim /rɪm/ n. （呈圆形的）边缘
spectacular /spekˈtækjulə(r)/ adj. 壮观的、壮丽的
"I hope young photographers can visit these places and give them fresh interpretations. There is no reason why young photographers today shouldn't have the same opportunities. They may have to go out on their own and find new and different places to create original images."
interpretation /ɪnˌtɜːprəˈteɪʃ(ə)n/ n. 解读、诠释
opportunity /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ n. 机会
original /əˈrɪdʒ(ə)n(ə)l/ adj. 原创的
