While long-distance travel is not a top choice during the COVID-19 pandemic (大流行), camping has risen as a new travel trend (趋势) for people living in Chinese cities.

camp  [kæmp]: n.  营地; 营房; 度假村; 兵营; 阵营;

                         v. 露营; 借宿;

翻译：露营已经成为中国城市居民旅游的新趋势。

练习：我在田野里露营过夜。

I camped overnight in a field.

 

A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent May Day holiday, camping-related (与露营相关的) searches increased by 117 percent compared with April. Forests and islands were the two most popular location (地点) types.

increase  [ɪnˈkriːs , ˈɪŋkriːs] : v.  增加，增长;

翻译：与四月份相比，与露营相关的搜索增加了117% 。

练习：人口已从120万增加到了180万。

compare with:（把…）与…相比; 比得上，

翻译：与四月份相比，与露营相关的搜索增加了117% 。

练习：教师拿Shelley与Keats相比较.

Ji Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “It was relaxing,” Ji told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities.

relaxing  [rɪˈlæksɪŋ] : adj.  愉快的; 令人（放松的）;

翻译：这是令人放松的

练习：舒舒服服洗个澡放松一下。

De-stress yourself with a relaxing bath. 

 

The growing popularity has also fueled (刺激) the demand for camping equipment (装备), such as tents, outdoor tables and chairs, picnic mats (垫子) and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said page views for their camping goods on the first day of the May Day holiday rose by 90 percent over the previous (之前的) week, reported Global Times.

demand [dɪˈmɑːnd] :n.  要求; 所需之物; 需求;

翻译：日益受到的欢迎也推动了对露营设备的需求

练习：煤的需求下降了，煤价也相应下跌。

However, the demand for campsites is greater than the available supply (供给). “Everywhere is full and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist surnamed Yun, from Beijing, told Global Times.

available  [əˈveɪləbl] : adj.  可用的，可获得的; 有空的;

翻译：然而，对露营地的需求远大于现有的供应

练习：在学校的自助餐厅里你会发现有很多饮食可供选择

You will find a many choices available in school cafeterias. 

 

Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In Beijing’s Shuangfeng campsite, some of the land is barren (荒芜的) from too much foot traffic. Trash, like bamboo barbecue (烧烤) sticks and disposable plates(一次性餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua.

local [ˈləʊkl] : adj.  本地的，地方的; 局部的; n.本地人;

翻译：而且，露营对当地环境并不总是有好处的。

练习：我们的小孩在本地学校就读。

Our children go to the local school.

 

The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said Song Yu, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

call on:要求;呼吁;号召;(短暂地)访问；要求(某人讲话等);

翻译：政府需要为游客提供更多的绿色空间，并呼吁人们在露营时保护环境。

练习：我呼吁每个人都放弃使用暴力和武装斗争。

I call on everyone to renounce the use of violence and armed struggle.
