Hello?
您好？
Oh hello. My name's Jan. Are you the right person to talk to about the Buckworth Conservation Group?
哦，您好。我是简。请问有关巴克沃斯保护组织的事情是找您咨询吗？
Yes, I'm Peter. I'm the secretary.
是的，我是彼得。我是秘书。
Good. I've just moved to this area, and I'm interested in getting involved.
好的。我刚搬到这个地区，很想加入你们。
I was in a similar group where I used to live.
我在以前住的地方也参加过类似的组织。
Could you tell me something about your activities, please?
您能介绍一下你们的活动吗？
Of course. Well, we have a mixture of regular activities and special events.
当然可以。我们会组织一些常规活动和特殊活动。
One of the regular ones is trying to keep the beach free of litter.
其中一项常规活动是努力清除海滩上的垃圾。
A few of us spend a couple of hours a month on it, and it's awful how much there is to clear.
我们组织中的一些人每个月要花好几个小时来做这件事，非常糟糕的是要清理的垃圾太多了。
I wish people would be more responsible and take it home with them.
我希望人们能更负责任，把垃圾带走。
I totally agree. I'd be happy to help with that. Is it OK to take dogs?
我完全同意您的话。我很乐意帮忙。带狗可以吗？
I'm afraid not, as they're banned from the beach itself.
恐怕不行，因为海滩本来就禁止狗进入。
You can take them along the cliffs, though. And children are welcome.
不过，你可以带它们沿着悬崖走。我们欢迎孩子们。
Right.
好的。
We also manage a nature reserve, and there's a lot to do there all year round.
我们还管理着一个自然保护区，那里一年四季都有很多事情可做。
For example, because it's a popular place to visit, we spend a lot of time looking after the paths and making sure they're in good condition for walking.
例如，因为它是一个很受欢迎的景点，我们每年要花很多时间来养护小路，确保小路路况良好，适宜步行。
I could certainly help with that.
这个我肯定能帮忙。
Good. And we have a programme of creating new habitats there.
好的。我们还有一个在那里建立新栖息地的计划。
We've just finished making and installing nesting boxes for birds to use, and next we're going to work on encouraging insects – they're important for the biodiversity of the reserve.
我们刚刚完成了供鸟类使用的新鸟巢的制作和安装，接下来，我们将致力于促进昆虫的繁殖，它们对保护区的生物多样性很重要。
They certainly are.
确实如此。
Oh, and we're also running a project to identify the different species of butterflies that visit the reserve.
哦，我们还在进行一个项目，以识别造访保护区的蝴蝶的种类。
You might be interested in taking part in that.
你可能会有兴趣参与其中。
Sure. I was involved in something similar where I used to live, counting all the species of moths. I'd enjoy that.
当然。在我以前住的地方，我参加过类似的项目，统计所有种类的飞蛾。我会很享受做这件事的。
Another job we're doing at the reserve is replacing the wall on the southern side, between the parking area and our woodshed.
我们在保护区做的另一项工作是更换保护区南边的墙，其位于停车场和柴火棚之间。
It was badly damaged in a storm last month.
由于上个月的一场暴风雨，这面墙损坏严重。
OK.
好的。
