13岁少年带你走进“东湖绿心”
《国际湿地公约》第十四届缔约方大会（Ramsar COP14）于2022年11月5日至13日在中国武汉的东湖国际会议中心（ELICC)和瑞士日内瓦的国际会议中心（CICG）同时举行，作为一名来自武汉的普通初中生，邓子天同学和他的好朋友（刘腾枫，龚荜辉）有幸以视频的形式线上参加了中国生物多样性保护与绿色发展基金会（中国绿发会、绿会）国际部于11月8日举办的“Restoring Wetlands while Advancing Sustainable Livelihoods via Biodiversity Conservation in Our Neighborhood（通过邻里生物多样性保护恢复湿地并促进可持续生计）”为主题的边会。邓子天热爱大自然，多年来每到周末和假期，就会去东湖绿道骑行，这次参会让他对东湖湿地有了更深刻的理解，于是萌发了自己制作视频，记录和宣传东湖湿地的念头。他利用周末的时间去东湖录制取景，自己撰写文稿翻译成英文，自学了剪辑软件制作视频。他希望能用自己微薄的力量，让更多的人看到东湖的美景，让更多的人参与到保护东湖湿地的行动中来。
--The wind blows through my cheek--
（风吹过我的脸颊）
--Various bird species flying around, cheering--
（各种各样的鸟儿在我身边飞翔，欢呼着）
--Scenery flew backwards--
（景色掠过眼角）
--Beyond the buildings and edifice where I saw the heaven of nature--
（越过城市的喧嚣，我看见了自然的天堂）
The East Lake is situated in the east of Wuhan and on the south bank of the Yangtze River, hence its name. It is the second biggest city lake in China. The water area is about thirty three square kilometers, which is six times the size of the West Lake in Hangzhou. More than one hundred and twenty islands dots around, one hundred and twelve kilometers of lake shoreline twists and turns, thirty four peaks around the lake stretch undulating, and more than ten thousands acres of forests.
东湖位于湖北省武汉市武昌东部、长江南岸，它也因此得名，现为中国水域面积第二大的城中湖之一，水域面积达33平方公里，是杭州西湖的六倍。120多个岛渚星罗，112公里湖岸线曲折，环湖34座山峰绵延起伏，10000余亩山林林木葱郁。
Since ancient times, East Lake has been a tourist attraction. Qu Yuan once wrote poetry at the bank of East Lake; King Chu Zhuang once drummed in the East Lake for battle; During the three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei set up an altar to worship the sky in Moshan Mountain; Li Bai inscribed a poem on the eagle platform of the shore of East Lake; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao inspected East Lake forty eight times and received ninety four groups of foreign dignitaries from sixty four countries in East Lake.
自古以来，东湖就是游览胜地。屈原在东湖“泽畔行吟”；楚庄王在东湖击鼓督战；三国时期，刘备在东湖磨山设坛祭天；李白在东湖湖畔放鹰台题诗；新中国成立后，毛主席先后视察东湖48次，接待了64个国家的94批外国政要。
Wuhan is on the East Asia-Australasian migratory bird migration route and is rich in wetland resources. East Lake National Wetland Park is the green heart of the city that carries the "poetry and distance" of Wuhan citizens. Nowadays East Lake has become a harmonious paradise for both human beings and nature.
武汉位于东亚-澳大利西亚候鸟迁徙路线上，湿地资源丰富。东湖国家湿地公园是承载着武汉市民“诗和远方”的城中绿心。现如今，东湖已经成为了一个人类与自然和谐共处的天堂。
Oh! By the way,you are always welcome to Wuhan!
嘿，顺便说下，武汉随时欢迎您！

值得一提的是，文稿、翻译、录制、剪辑，都是邓子天同学自己完成的，真的很棒！湿地保护的未来，需要更多邓子天这样的青少年的积极参与！
