2025年英语一 段落排序

段落 A

Peters likes to photograph butterflies in a landscape, celebrating the beauty of their surroundings as well as the insects themselves. His pictures of a Glanville fritillary rising from the sea-pinks beside the chalk cliffs of Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight are particularly glorious. These take- off shots are even more challenging because they require a wide-angle lens, which means he must be less than 2cm from the butterfly. It's incredibly difficult to get that close to a skittish, sun- warmed insect. Unlike some photographers, who "cheat" by keeping insects in a fridge to slow them down, Peters refuses to tamper with wild butterflies.

Peters喜欢在风景中拍摄蝴蝶，既赞美昆虫本身，也赞美它们周围环境的美丽。他拍摄的Glanvillefritillary从怀特岛Compton Bay白垩悬崖旁的海石竹中升起的照片尤其壮丽。这些起飞镜头更具挑战性,因为它们需要广角镜头,这意味着他必须距离蝴蝶不到2厘米。要如此接近一只易受惊、被阳光温暖的昆虫是极其困难的。与一些把昆虫放在冰箱里以减缓它们速度来"作弊"的摄影师不同,Peters拒绝干扰野生蝴蝶。

段落 B

Peters' signature shot is a butterfly "take-off", showing the multiple wing-beats of one butterfly in one frame as it lifts off from a flower. How does he capture it? Technology helps. A typical digital SLR camera shoots 20 frames a second. He uses a high-speed OM System which shoots 120 frames a second.

Peters的标志性镜头是蝴蝶"起飞",在一帧画面中展示一只蝴蝶从花朵上起飞时的多次翅膀拍打。他如何捕捉到它?科技提供了帮助。典型的数码单反相机每秒拍摄20帧。他使用的高速OM System每秒拍摄120帧。

段落 C

Britain has relatively few butterfly species compared with mainland Europe and 80% are in decline, mostly because intensive chemical farming has reduced many species to tiny fragments of habitat and small nature reserves. Global heating is benefiting some species but others are too isolated to find suitable new habitat, and gardening habits—paving over gardens and using pesticides—aren't helping either. Butterflies may not pollinate as many plants as wild bees and hoverflies, but because British butterflies are the best-studied group of insects in the world, they are an extremely useful indicator of the wider declines in flying insects.

与欧洲大陆相比,英国的蝴蝶物种相对较少,80%的物种正在减少,主要是因为密集的化学农业使许多物种的栖息地缩减为微小的碎片和小型自然保护区。全球变暖使一些物种受益,但其他物种过于孤立而无法找到合适的新栖息地,而园艺习惯——用硬质材料铺设花园和使用杀虫剂——也无济于事。蝴蝶授粉的植物可能不如野生蜜蜂和食蚜蝇多,但由于英国蝴蝶是世界上研究最充分的昆虫类群,它们是飞行昆虫更广泛衰退的极其有用的指标。

段落 D

Five years ago, at summer's end, Andrew Fusek Peters was diagnosed with bowel cancer. "I was waiting for surgery, feeling really ill, sitting in my garden. It was amazing weather and there were painted lady butterflies everywhere," he says. "They were a symbol of fragile life, of hope and defiance, and something appealed to my soul."

五年前的夏末,Andrew Fusek Peters被诊断出患有肠癌。"我在等待手术,感觉非常不适,坐在花园里。天气非常好,到处都是小红蛱蝶,"他说。"它们是脆弱生命、希望和不屈的象征,有某种东西触动了我的灵魂。"

段落 E

That makes it sound easy, and artificial, but Peters insists it is still a massive challenge. He typically takes between 10,000 and 20,000 shots to get one butterfly take-off sequence in focus. At such high shutter speeds, the depth of field is tiny, and as butterflies do not fly in a straight line they swiftly flutter out of focus. As well as thousands of attempts, it takes patience and fieldcraft to anticipate a butterfly's likely flight-line and catch it—in focus.

这听起来很简单,也很做作,但Peters坚持认为这仍然是一个巨大的挑战。他通常要拍摄10000到20000张照片才能得到一个对焦清晰的蝴蝶起飞序列。在如此高的快门速度下,景深非常小,而且由于蝴蝶不会直线飞行,它们会迅速飞出焦点。除了数千次尝试,还需要耐心和野外技巧来预测蝴蝶可能的飞行路线并捕捉到它——且对焦清晰。

段落 F

So what's the appeal of a long, sweaty day in pursuit of an elusive, fast-moving wild animal? "It just feels bloody brilliant," says Peters. "If I've had a full day of good encounters with butterflies, met interesting butterfly people and I've got some good shots, that becomes a vault in my spiritual bank. It's a happy feeling."

那么,在漫长而汗流浃背的一天里追逐一只难以捉摸、快速移动的野生动物,有什么吸引力呢?"感觉真是太棒了,"Peters说。"如果我与蝴蝶有一整天的良好邂逅,遇到了有趣的蝴蝶爱好者,并且拍到了一些好照片,这就成为我精神银行中的一笔财富。这是一种快乐的感觉。"

段落 G

A children's author and poet who had become a keen amateur photographer, Peters watched the butterflies and idly wondered if he could capture them in flight. It swiftly became an obsession as he recovered from a successful operation to remove the cancer. In recent summers, he has travelled the length and breadth of Britain to photograph all 58 native species of butterfly. Now the fruits of those summers have been published in a beautiful new book.

作为一名儿童作家和诗人,Peters已成为一名热心的业余摄影师,他观察着蝴蝶,漫不经心地想知道自己能否捕捉到它们飞行的瞬间。在他成功接受手术切除癌症后康复期间,这迅速成为一种痴迷。近几个夏天,他走遍英国各地,拍摄所有58种本土蝴蝶物种。现在,那些夏天的成果已在一本精美的新书中出版。

段落 H

A butterfly takes off so quickly it is still impossible to react quickly enough to capture that take- off but if he half-presses the shutter, the camera saves the 70 previous frames before the moment he actually takes the picture. "It's time travel, so I don't miss the moment of take-off," he says. After he's captured the butterfly taking off, he layers 10 to 15 frames together in Photoshop.

蝴蝶起飞速度如此之快,仍然不可能反应得足够快来捕捉那次起飞,但如果他半按快门,相机会保存他实际拍照那一刻之前的70帧画面。"这是时间旅行,所以我不会错过起飞的瞬间,"他说。在捕捉到蝴蝶起飞后,他在Photoshop中将10到15帧画面叠加在一起。
