地球上最安靜的地方是哪里?
There are many regions on the planet that are remote enough for you to escape all the noise of human civilisation. England’s most tranquil place, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), is a 500m-by-500m patch of bogland in Kielder Mires, Northumberland.
在這個(gè)星球上有許多遙遠(yuǎn)的地方,足以讓你遠(yuǎn)離人類文明的喧囂。根據(jù)英國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)(CPRE)的說(shuō)法,英格蘭最寧?kù)o的地方是諾森伯蘭郡基爾德·米爾斯(Kielder Mires)的一片500m×500m的沼澤地。
But tranquil is not the same as silent: even this ungrazed wilderness still has the sound of wind and the occasional bird. In fact, being able to hear birdsong was one of the factors that the CPRE included when calculating a place’s tranquillity score.
但是寧?kù)o并不等于寂靜:即使是在這片未受污染的曠野中,仍然有風(fēng)聲和偶爾的鳥(niǎo)鳴。事實(shí)上,能夠聽(tīng)到鳥(niǎo)鳴是CPRE在計(jì)算一個(gè)地方的安寧指數(shù)時(shí)要考慮的因素之一。
To escape wind and birdsong, too, you need somewhere barren and sheltered, such as the crater of a volcano. One good candidate is the Haleakalā crater on the Hawaiian island of Maui, which has been dubbed the “quietest place on Earth”. Here, the sound level is just 10 decibels – the same volume as your own breathing – and is probably as quiet as anything you can experience.
要想逃避風(fēng)和鳥(niǎo)鳴,您還需要一個(gè)貧瘠且避難的地方,例如火山的火山口。一個(gè)很好的候選地是夏威夷毛伊島上的哈雷阿卡拉火山口,該火山口被稱為“地球上最安靜的地方”。在這里,聲音電平僅為10分貝–與您自己的呼吸音量相同–可能是你能經(jīng)歷的最安靜的聲音。
