1988年一场绵延近三个月的森林大火使黄石公园36%的面积遭灾。出乎人们初始预料的是大火固然给黄石公园带来了损失,同时也带来了巨大的生态契机,为“新陈代谢”和“推陈出新”创造了人工难以具备的良好条件。经过大火的洗礼,黄石公园获得再生,更加焕发出青春的活力。 In 1988, a forest fire that lasted for nearly three months hit 36% of Yellowstone’s area. It is beyond people’s initial expectation that although the fire has brought losses to Yellowstone Park, it has also brought tremendous ecological opportunities and created good conditions that are difficult for human beings to provide for “metabolism” and “innovation.” After the fire of baptism, Yellowstone Park was regenerated, more full of youthful vitality.
