FROM PROBLEMS TO
SOLUTIONS 从问题重重到迎刃而解
Economic development is
necessary if we want to improve
society. There comes a time when
the old must give way to the new,
and it is not possible to preserve
everything from our past as we
move towards the future. Finding
and keeping the right balance
between progress and the
protection of cultural sites can be a
big challenge. 社会要进步，经济发展是必然的。新旧更替的时代已经带来，在走向未来的过程中，我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。在发展与保护文化遗产之间要寻找恰当的平衡点，这可能是一项巨大的挑战。
Big challenges, however, can
sometimes lead to great solutions.
In the 1950s, the Egyptian
government wanted to build a new
dam across the Nile in order to
control floods, produce electricity,
and supply water to more farmers
in the area. But the proposal led to 然而，巨大的挑战有时会带来伟大的解决方案。20世纪50年代，埃及政府打算在尼罗河上新建一座大坝，可以防洪、发电并为该地区更多的农民供应水。但是，该提议引发了抗议。因为大坝泄流很可能会损坏许多寺庙，摧毁一批埃及古文化遗产的重要文protests. Water from the dam would
likely damage a number of temples
and destroy cultural relics that were
an important part of Egypt’s
cultural heritage. After listening to
the scientists who had studied the
problem, and citizens who lived
near the dam, the government
turned to the United Nations for
help in 1959. 物。在听取了研究该问题的科学家以及大坝附近居民的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国求助。
A committee was established to
limit damage to the Egyptian
buildings and prevent the loss of
cultural relics. The group asked for
contributions from different
departments and raised funds
within the international
community. Experts investigated
the issue, conducted several tests,
and then made a proposal for how
the buildings could be saved. 委员会成立了，旨在减少对埃及建筑物的破坏和防止文物的损失。该委员会要求各部门予以支持，并在国际范围内筹集资金。专家们经过调查研究，进行了多次测试，提出一个保住那些建筑的方案。最终，(埃及政府)签署了一份文件，于1960年开始实施。 Finally, a document was signed,
and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together
governments and
environmentalists from around the
world. Temples and other cultural
sites were taken down piece by
piece, and then moved and put back
together again in a place where
they were safe from the water. In
1961, German engineers moved the
first temple. Over the next 20 years,
thousands of engineers and
workers rescued 22 temples and
countless cultural relics. Fifty
countries donated nearly $80
million to the project. 该项目汇集了来自世界各地的政府机构和环保人士。寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块块地拆解下来，运至一个不受河水侵袭的安全地带。1961年，德国工程师搬迁了第一座寺庙。在随后的20年里，成千上万的工程师和工人拯救了22座寺庙和不计其数的文物。五十个国家向该项目捐赠了近8000万美元。
When the project ended in 1980, it
was considered a great success. Not
only had the countries found a path
to the future that did not run over
the relics of the past, but they had 该项目于1980年完工，它被视为一个巨大的成功。这些国家不仅找到了一条不以牺牲古迹为代价的未来发展之路，而且明白了众also learnt that it was possible for
countries to work together to build
a better tomorrow. 国家共同合作，共创美好未来的可能性。
The spirit of the Aswan Dam
project is still alive today. Perhaps
the best example is shown by
UNESCO, which runs a
programme that prevents world
cultural heritage sites around the
world from disappearing. If a
problem seems too difficult for a
single nation, the global
community can sometimes provide
a solution. 如今，阿斯旺水坝工程的精神尚存。也许这就是联合国教科文组织展示的一项保护世界各地文化遗产最好的范例。如果一个问题对于一个国家来说难度太大，那么国际社会适时就可为其提供一个解决方案。
