《English Translation》

刘娜: Xiao Pan, did you see the news? There was a fireworks show in Tibet that sparked a lot of controversy.
小潘: Yes, I did. The villagers said the fireworks had a strong smell, and they're worried it could harm animals and plants.
刘娜: That's right. The environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is unique, and plants grow very slowly. If it's damaged, it's hard to recover.
小潘: Teacher, I remember that snow leopards there are also afraid of loud sounds, right?
刘娜: Exactly. Experts say the noise and light from the fireworks can make snow leopards very anxious, and the homes of small animals could also be destroyed.
小潘: So even art events can cause problems for the environment. Humans need to be more careful.
刘娜: Yes. The plateau is an important ecological barrier for China. We must remember the principle of 'minimal disturbance'.
小潘: I think protecting the environment is more important than watching fireworks. I want to study these issues in the future.
