十、 福岛核危机：Fukushima’s Nuclear Crisis

双语解说：

日本核危机催热核旅游业？！

The crisis in Japan has boosted interest in nuclear-related museums and plants, once-secret Manhattan Project complexes and areas laid waste by disaster.

日本的核危机使人们对核相关的博物馆和工业产生了兴趣，对一度机密的曼哈顿计划核设施和核灾难留下的荒地也兴趣大增。

"Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a great interest in things nuclear in general, and specifically about the Japanese situation," said Allan Palmer, executive director of the Atomic Testing Museum and Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation in Las Vegas.Attendance was up 12 percent on a recent weekend at the museum.
拉斯维加斯原子弹试爆博物馆和内华达测试基地历史基金会的执行总监阿兰?帕莫说：“有传闻表明人们对与核相关、特别是与日本现状相关的事物兴趣大增。”最近一个周末参观该博物馆的游客人数增加了12%。
不是“焦虑”是“困惑”
One of the museum's docents, retired physicist Duane Hughes, said inquiring visitors aren't jittery but seem confused about reports of the dangers in Japan.

博物馆的讲解员之一、退休物理学家杜安?休斯说，前来问询的游客并不焦虑，但似乎对于有关日本危险的报道感到迷惑。

"We try to give people a balanced, factual, truthful response," Hughes said. "I didn't see anyone who is showing any emotional situations like, 'Oh my God, the sky is falling.'"

休斯说：“我们尽量让人们对事故作出适度、真实、坦诚的反应。我没有看到任何人表现出‘天哪，天要塌了’的情绪状态。”

一句话锐评：Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.生活中没有可怕的东西，只有应去了解的东西。
