The picture is thought-provoking: two tourists are sitting in the boat, enjoying beautiful scenery. Yet the lake behind them is full of rubbish, such as leftovers, fruit peels and plastic packages, because they are casually throwing litter into the lake. The words below read: leave “something” behind during the journey.
What the picture reveals is that tourists pollute the environment of scenic spots, turning a blind eye to public virtues. The phenomenon is not uncommon. Some tourists carve characters or draw on historic relics, climb on sculptures and architectures to take photos, and some people even spit and defecate indiscriminately. All these behaviors make our eyes sting: they spoil the scenery, and sometimes the damage caused are beyond repair, not only because historical relics are valuable but also because these uncivilized acts shadow the image of our social civilization.
I think it’s our responsibility to reverse the trend. On the one hand, every tourist should appreciate and obey public virtues and related regulations during their journey. On the other hand, those who damage historic relics and offend related regulations should be severely punished.

这幅画发人深思:两位游客坐在船上,欣赏风景,然而他们背后的湖面上飘满剩饭、果皮、塑料包装等垃圾,因为他们随手把垃圾扔进了湖里。图画下方的字写着:旅途之“余”。
这幅画所揭示的是游客无视公共道德,污染景点环境。这种现象很常见。一些游客在历史遗迹上乱涂乱画,为了拍照去攀爬雕塑和建筑,有人甚至随地吐痰、大小便。这些行为都很刺眼:它们破坏了美景,而且有时所造成的损害是无法修复的,这不仅因为历史遗迹很珍贵,还因为这些不文明行为给我们的社会文明蒙上了阴影。
我认为我们有责任改变这种趋势。一方面,每位游客在旅途中应该尊重遵守公共道德和相关规定。另一方面,破坏文物、违反相关规定的人应得到严惩。
