Last year saw a record number of visitors to theNational Park Service’s more than 400 parks,monuments, battlefields, seashores and other sites.Those numbers are expected to increase as theagency approaches its centennial anniversary onAug. 25, 2016.

去年访问国家公园管理局旗下400多个公园、纪念公园、战场遗址、海滩等游览胜地的旅客创下了纪录。据估计，至2016年8月25日管理局迎来成立百年纪念之际，游客数量还将持续上升。

The wealth of visitors is great but spreading itaround can be a challenge, Kathy Kupper, a spokeswoman for the park service, said on thephone from her office in Washington, D.C.

游客人数增加是好事，但是如何分散游客也是个问题，国家公园管理局的发言人凯西·卡帕(Kathy Kupper)在华盛顿接受电话采访时说。

“The iconic parks are always jammed, but there is incredible wildlife in Theodore Roosevelttoo, she said, referring to the national park in North Dakota. “It’s just not on people’s radar.

“标志性的公园总是人满为患，但西奥多·罗斯福公园(Theodore Roosevelt)也有大量野生动物，她提及的国家公园位于北达科塔州，“但人们就是想不到那个地方。

 

 

The same is true for the agency’s growing number of historic and cultural sites, she said. “There’s a lot of focus right now on finding gaps in our collective history and culture. Not totake anything away from the classics, but the parks are more than wilderness.
