　　SECTION 2

　　Welcome to all of you . . . can everybody see and hear me?.. . Good... l'm Sally, yourguide for this tour of the Bicentennial Park .. . I hope that you're all wearing your mostcomfortable shoes and that you can keep up the pace. So let's get under way on our touraround this wonderful park.

　　I'll start today with some general back ground information. There used to be a lot of

　　factories in this area until the 1960s. Creating the park required the demolition of lots of

　　derelict buildings on the site, so most of the exciting park space all around you was originallywarehouses and storehouses.

　　The idea of building a public park here was first discussed when a property developerproposed a high-rise housing development, but the local community wasn't happy. If theland was to be cleaned up, they wanted to use the site for recreation. Residents wantedopen space for outdoor activities, rather than housing or even an indoor sports complex.

　　Now to the Bicentennial Park itself. It has two areas, a nature reserve and a formal park withman-made features and gardens. The tall blue-and-white building in front of us is called TheTower and is the centre point for the formal gardens. It stands twelve metres high, so followme up the stairs to where we can take advantage of the fantastic views.

　　Well, here we are at the top of The Tower, and we're going to look at the view from each

　　direction. Out to the east, the large buildings about a kilometre away are on the Olympic site.There's an indoor arena for gymnastics, a stadium for track and field and a swimming poolfor races and synchronised swimming and also diving. If you look carefully down there, youcan see the train lines. The Olympic site has its own station to encourage the use of publictransport. There is also a car park, but it only holds a limited number of cars.

　　The formal park has some specially-created water features. If you look out here to the south,you can see a circular ornamental pond.

　　And around to the west, you can relax and sit on a bench to smell the flowers in the rose

　　garden, and finally up to the north, if you look in front of you now, there's a lake with a smallisland in the centre, you can hire rowing boats at the boat shed, which you can't sce from here,but if you look through the trees, you can see the café, which has lovely views across the

　　water. oK, let's climb down now. We will go now and have a look at the nature reserve sectionof the park, which has opened up natural wetland to the public.

　　The Mangroves have been made more accessible to visitors by the boardwalk built during thepark's upgrade. You'd think that people would come here to look at the unusual plant life ofthe area, but in fact it's more often used for cycling and is very popular with the local clubs.

　　This is the far end of the park and over there you can see the Frog Pond, a natural featurehere long before the park was designed. Just next to it we have our outdoor classroom, afavourite spot for school parties. The area is now most often used by primary schools forbiology lessons.

　　And finally let's pass by the Waterbird Refuge. This area is in a sheltered part of the estuary,that's why the park's viewing shelter is a favourite spot for bird watchers who can use it tospy through binoculars. You can watch a variety of water birds, but most visitors expect tosee black swans when they come to the shelter. You might spot one yourself right now!

　　Well, here we are back at our starting point, the Visitor Centre.

　　第二节

　　欢迎大家的到来…每个人都能看到我，听到我吗?好…我是莎莉，您这次两百周年公园之旅的导游…我希望你们都穿着自己最舒服的鞋子，并能跟上我的步伐。那么，让我们开始游览这个美丽的公园吧。

　　今天我将从一些基本的背景信息开始。曾经有

　　工厂在这个地区一直到20世纪60年代。创建这个公园需要拆除大量的建筑

　　场地上的废弃建筑，所以你周围大部分令人兴奋的公园空间原来是仓库和仓库。

　　当一位房地产开发商提议在这里建一座高层住宅时，人们次讨论了在这里建一座公园的想法，但当地社区并不高兴。如果这片土地要被清理干净，他们想把它用作娱乐场所。居民们想要的是用于户外活动的开放空间，而不是住房，甚至是室内运动中心。

　　现在来看看两百周年纪念公园本身。它有两个区域，一个自然保护区和一个有人造景观和花园的正式公园。在我们面前的蓝白色高楼被称为塔，是正规花园的中心。它有12米高，所以跟我上楼梯，在那里我们可以欣赏美丽的景色。

　　好吧，现在我们在塔顶，我们将从每一个角度看风景

　　方向。往东看，大约一公里外的大型建筑物都在奥运会会址上。有一个室内体操运动场、一个田径运动场、一个比赛游泳池、花样游泳和跳水。如果你仔细看那里，你可以看到铁路线。奥运会场地有自己的车站，以鼓励人们使用公共交通工具。这里还有一个停车场，但只能停放有限数量的汽车。

　　正式的公园有一些特别创造的水景。如果你往南看，你可以看到一个圆形的装饰性池塘。

　　在西边，你可以放松，坐在长椅上，闻闻玫瑰花里的花香

　　花园,最后到北方,如果你现在看起来在你面前,有一个湖的smallisland中心,你可以雇佣划船船船棚,南加州爱迪生公司,你不能从这里,但是如果你看看树,你可以看到咖啡馆,在可爱的看法

　　水。好了，我们现在下来吧。我们现在去看看公园的自然保护区，它向公众开放了自然湿地。

　　在公园升级期间修建的木板路使游客更容易接近红树林。你会以为人们会来这里看这里不寻常的植物生活，但事实上，它更经常被用来骑自行车，受当地俱乐部的欢迎。

　　这是公园的尽头，在那里你可以看到青蛙池塘，早在公园设计之前这里就已经是一个自然景观了。它旁边是我们的户外教室，是学校聚会的好去处。该地区现在最常被小学用来上生物课。

　　最后，让我们经过水鸟保护区。这个地区位于河口处的避风处，这就是为什么公园的观景台是鸟类观察者最喜欢的地方，他们可以用它来通过双筒望远镜进行侦察。你可以看到各种各样的水鸟，但大多数游客希望在来到这个庇护所时看到黑天鹅。你可能现在就发现了一个!

　　好了，现在我们回到起点，游客中心。
