NYC Decides To Clone “Historical”Trees Last Thursday,a 100-year-old European beech on Central Park's Cherry Hill became the center of attention -chosen by New York city officials as the first of 25“historical”trees to be cloned as part of a plan announced last year to add a million newtrees to streets,parks and public spaces over the nextdecade. 上周四,位于樱桃山中央公园的一棵百年欧洲山毛榉树成了众人关注的焦点——它被纽约市政官员选入25棵首批“克隆古树”。“古树克隆”项目是纽约市政府去年公布的百万植树计划的一部分,纽约计划在未来10年内在市内街道、公园及公共场所增加100万棵树木。 “We want to break the stereotype of New York as skyscrapers and sidewalks”,Parks Commissioner Adrian Benape said.“New York abounds in historical trees.”公园委员会主任阿德里安·贝纳普说:“我们的目的是改变纽约到处都是摩天大楼和人行道的旧貌。纽约市内有很多古树。” The target trees include nine different species.All were selected by borough foresters as historical for having existed for at least a century- either as fixtures of the urban landscape or as having special significance to local communities. 将被克隆的树包括9个不同品种。由各区林务员挑选出的所有古树的树龄至少为100年。这些古树有的是城市景点,有的对当地有特殊意义。
