Environmentalists in Tanzania say they are strongly opposed to the proposed construction of a new railway that would cut through the world famous Serengeti National Park.

坦桑尼亚的环境学家说他们强烈反对建设新铁路的提案,因为铁路会割断世界闻名的塞伦盖蒂国家公园。坦桑尼亚律师环境保护行动小组的发言人告诉BBC, 铁路将会对每年的野熊迁徙造成严重的不良影响,并破坏生态系统。
Serengeti is not only a national park, it is a complete migration of animals. If the railway or road, or highway is going to be constructed, will have very very severe effects to the migration of animals.
塞伦盖蒂不仅仅是国家公园,更是动物们完成迁徙的途经之所。如果建设铁路,公路,或高速公路,将非常严重地影响动物们的迁徙。
