A Speech at the New National Geographic on Campus Program Press Conference

Ladies and gentlemen，

I'm very pleased to introduce to you our new National Geographic on Campus Program．

As an organization that seeks to inspire others to care about the planet．National Geographic is committed to sustaining the character and integrity of each place we visit—its environment，culture，heritage，and the well-being of its residents．In providing authentic travel experiences for students，we strive to protect the sites we visit，support local economies in our choice of accommodations and services，and increase students' understanding and appreciation of other peoples and customs through meaningful cultural exchange．

Starting in the summer 2009 we are pleased to introduce National Geographic on Campus，innovative programs for high school students based in two spectacular locations on the East and West Coasts—Monterey Bay，California and Bar Harbor，Maine．With a comfortable campus setting as our base，we'll spend ten days exploring the region through workshops，hands-on activities in the field，excursions to nearby sites，and active adventures in the company of dynamic instructors and National Geographic experts．

National Geographic on Campus programs blend field-based activities—photo and film shoots，GPS tracking，and marine research excursions，for example—with daily workshops and discussions led by outstanding trip leaders and National Geographic experts．You'll choose an on-assignment focus，such as Photography or Marine Biology＆Conservation，and work in teams to hone your skills and develop a project．

National Geographic experts will join you during the course of the program to lead workshops and excursions，give presentations about their work，and inspire interesting discussions．Whether you go on a photo shoot alongside a National Geographic photographer or conduct field research with a biologist whose findings have been reported in our magazines，you'll gain valuable insights from our experts．

In the months leading up to your adventure，we will send you a variety of materials tohelp you prepare for your trip，including books，magazines，maps，or DVDs produced by National Geographic，as well as a complimentary one-year subscription to a National Geographic magazine of your choice．Not only will these provide background information about your destination，they'll also get you thinking about the kind of project you'd like to pursue．

If you are a high school teacher or other high school staff and are interested in offering a special departure of a National Geographic Student Expedition for your school，contact us for more information．

在《国家地理》杂志校园项目新闻发布会上的讲话

女士们，先生们:

非常高兴向大家介绍我们新推出的《国家地理》杂志校园项目。

《国家地理》杂志的宗旨是激发人们关爱地球。因此，每到一处，我们都希望维护当地的风貌，包括它的环境、文化、遗产，并尽量不打扰当地居民的幸福与安宁。在为同学们提供真实的游历体验的同时，我们力图保护所参观的每一个地方，选择相应的住宿服务以支持地方经济，并通过有意义的文化交流增进同学们对其他民族风俗习惯的了解。

《国家地理》杂志校园项目是新近针对中学生推出的一个项目，将于2009年夏季启动。该项目在美国的东海岸和西海岸设有两个基地，分别位于加利福尼亚的蒙特利海湾和缅因州的巴尔港。有了舒适的校园环境作为我们的基地，在为期十天的行程中我们将通过工作坊、动手实践、近郊远足，以及一些探险活动来对这些地区进行探索。这期间会有多位教练及《国家地理》杂志的专家陪同。

《国家地理》杂志校园项目集实地考察活动与日常研讨于一体。实地考察包括摄影、全球定位系统跟踪、海底探险游等。日常的研讨则有优秀的带团导游及《国家地理》杂志专家参与并组织。大家需要选择一项具体的任务，如摄影或海洋生物学及海洋生物保护等，并与团队共同努力，锻炼自己的技能，完成一个项目。

《国家地理》杂志的专家在整个项目过程中将与大家一起，组织工作坊及远足，向大家展示他们的工作，激发大家的兴趣，引导大家进行讨论。无论你是与《国家地理》杂志的摄影记者一道去摄影，还是与一个已在我们杂志上刊登相关发现的生物学家一道做实地考察，你都将从中获得宝贵的见解。

在大家出游前的几个月，我们将奉送各种资料帮助大家做好出游的准备，包括书籍、杂志、地图和由《国家地理》杂志制作的DVD。另外还要赠送大家一年的《国家地理》杂志。这些材料不仅可以为大家提供目的地的背景知识，而且可以让大家预先思考一下所愿意选择的任务计划。

如果在座的有中学老师或者是中学员工，并对学校学生参加《国家地理》杂志举行的学生游感兴趣，请与我们联系，以获取更详细的信息。
