国家地理这几个字可能会让人联想(唤起)遥远土地和异域风情的风景,但是历代读者都会欣喜地证实,这本刊物始终对有趣的人(让人着迷的人)和那些被发现似乎近在咫尺的地域(被发现比家还近的地域)给予慷慨的关注。
-摘自National Geographic On Assignment USA
The words National Geographic are likely to conjure up scenes of faraway lands and exotic customs, but as generations of readers can testify with delight, the magazine has always paid generous attention to the fascinating people and places found closer to home.
