29、现在旅游业复苏势头迅猛,着实令人费解,”总部设在曼谷的太平洋亚洲旅游协会战略情报中心主任约翰考尔多斯基说道:“这不由让人想起那句格言,好事坏事无所谓,为人所知最可贵。”(好也好,坏也好,只要出名就好。) 鉴于去年发生灾祸较多,现在对旅游业做同比统计为时尚早,不过旅游业专家表示,旅游业总体发展趋势已十分明朗。世界旅游旅行理事会预计,今年旅游人数料将同比上升近 5%。 总部设在伦敦的世界旅游旅行理事会副理事长尤菲易卜拉欣说:“现在每当发生天灾人祸后,旅游业复苏步伐似乎都在加快,且发展势头更猛。”去年 7 月 8 日伦敦发生了自杀性爆炸事件,导致 56 人丧生,700 人受伤。谈及伦敦的旅游业发展,
30、尤菲易卜拉欣说:“现在旅游人数几乎翻番,感觉就像是爆炸袭击后那些刻意避开伦敦的游客现在改变了主意,(为弥补缺憾)非要二度畅游伦敦一样。” 初步统计显示,其他受灾旅游目的地的旅游业发展态势也大致如此。斯里兰卡在 2004 年 12 月 26 日发生的特大海啸中有超过 3 万人丧生或失踪。太平洋亚洲旅游协会提供的统计数字显示,斯里兰卡今年 3 至 8月份的入境游客数量每月都呈现出同比增长的良好态势。 2002 年 105 印尼巴厘岛发生了针对西方游客的蓄意爆炸事件,造成 202 人丧生。但是,当地旅游业此后快速复苏,成为旅游业界人士早期广泛引用的经典案例。太平洋亚洲旅游协会统计数据显示,在爆炸发生
31、的当年,巴厘岛的游客数量骤降至 99.3 万人,但是到 2004 年又反弹至 146 万人,超过了爆炸发生前两年的游客接待量。 澳大利亚游客在当年巴厘岛爆炸事件中伤亡最为惨重。但是,太平洋亚洲旅游协会的统计数据显示,在爆炸发生后的两年时间里前往巴厘岛度假的澳大利亚游客数量达到了 1998 年以来的最高水平。 今年巴厘岛再遭自杀性爆炸袭击,三个餐馆发生连环爆炸,共造成 19 人丧生。 2004 年的特大海啸在泰国共造成 5400 人丧生,超过 5000 人失踪,而现在赴泰国的游客数量也在不断上升。 当年海啸发生期间,在泰国旅游度假胜地普吉岛有超过 500 名瑞典游客丧生,是外籍游客当中死亡人数最
32、多的。不过,根据“瑞典我的旅行”的统计,今年重返普吉岛度假的瑞典游客数量已超过去年。“瑞典我的旅行”是一家位于斯德哥尔摩的国际旅行社,每年向国外输送 60 万名游客,在瑞典旅游市场占据 28%的份额。 “当时我们相信泰国最终会再次成为瑞典游客心目中的热点旅游目的地,但是没想到会这么快。今年赴泰瑞典游客人数甚至超过了去年,”该旅行社对外联络部主任约吉姆埃里克森说,“我们原以为赴泰游会出现大幅下滑,所以这么强劲的复苏势头确实出乎意料。” 埃里克森说,该旅行社预计,今年旅游季赴泰国和斯里兰卡旅游的瑞典游客数量将同比增长 5%。他说,这种旅游发展趋势与 20 世纪 90 年代迥然不同。 “在第一次海湾
33、战争期间,整个旅游市场游客数量出现大幅下滑,911恐怖袭击后也是如此,”埃里克森说道,“而现在,恐怖主义袭击或者自然灾害对旅游业的影响主要体现在游客旅游目的地的调整(,游客数量不会再大幅下降)。”三、Section Chinese-En(总题数:1,分数:20.00)2.2012 年 10 月 11 日,有网友在微博发消息称:“中国式过马路,就是凑够一撮人就可以走了,和红绿灯无关。”微博同时还配了一张行人过马路的照片,虽然从照片上看不到交通信号灯,但有好几位行人并没有走在斑马线上,而是走在旁边的机动车变道路标上,其中有推着婴儿车的老人,也有电动车、卖水果的三轮车。 这条微博引起了不少网友的共鸣

The municipal government of Beijing vows to overhaul traffic malpractices and irregularities, with priority given to wrongdoing of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. Integrated measures, including correction,
41、 education, criticism and fines, will be adopted to bring pressure to bear on the so-called “Chinese style road crossing“. Those rule breakers who are too overbearing to accept corrections or obstruct the police in the course of their duty and even physically attack police will be dealt with seriously in accordance with law. Alongside that, traffic facilities and signals will be upgraded in ways that encourage non-motorized users to follow traffic rules while getting around.
