Chile has launched a huge hiking route through its Patagonian wilderness to boost tourism and highlight the need for conservation.

　　智利在巴塔哥尼亚荒野上开辟了一条巨长的徒步旅行路线，以促进旅游业，以及生态保护。

　　The Route of Parks covers 2,800km (1,740 miles) from the city of Puerto Montt down to Cape Horn.

　　名为百内国家公园路线，该徒步路线从蒙特港市延伸到霍恩角，全长2800公里(1740英里)。

　　The trail was the idea of Tompkins Conservation, the foundation set up by US billionaire Douglas Tompkins and his wife Kristine.

　　美国亿万富翁道格拉斯·汤普金斯和他的妻子克里斯汀创立的基金会设立了汤普金斯保护组织。

　　Last year the foundation donated vast amounts of land to Chile’s government.

　　去年，该基金会向智利政府捐赠了大量土地。

　　The land has helped create a network of 17 national parks and the new route - called the Patagonian Route of Parks - connects all of them.

　　这块土地覆盖了一个由17个国家公园组成的网络，而被称为“巴塔哥尼亚公园之路”的新路线连接着所有公园。

　　"We want Chile to be internationally recognised for having the most spectacular scenic route in the world, and thus become a benchmark for economic development based on conservation," said Carolina Morgado, executive director at Tompkins.

　　“我们希望智利因拥有世界上最壮观的风景路线而获得国际认可，从而成为以保护为基础的经济发展的准绳，”汤普金斯执行董事卡罗琳娜·莫尔加多说。

　　A website for the new trail says it encompasses three existing hiking routes - the Southern Way, the Patagonian channels and the End of the World Route.

　　据这条新路线的网站描述，它包含三条现有的徒步旅行路线 - 南方路，巴塔哥尼亚海峡和世界末日路线。

　　The sparsely inhabited terrain is known for its lakes, waterways and rich habitat of flora and fauna.

　　智利人烟稀少的土地以其湖泊，河流和丰富的动植物栖息地而闻名。

　　The website includes advice on transport, accommodation and more than 50 GPS-traced paths.

　　该网站提供了在交通，住宿和50多条GPS跟踪路径方面的建议。

　　Mr Tompkins, a keen conservationist and the founder of North Face clothing, died in a kayaking accident in Chile in 2015. The businessman had bought up huge swathes of land in southern Chile and Argentina to preserve it.

　　汤普金斯先生是一名热血的环保主义者，也是“北脸”服装的创始人，他于2015年在智利的一次皮划艇事故中丧生。这位商人在智利南部和阿根廷购买了大片土地，用于生态环境保护。

　　His widow, Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, signed an agreement with the national government in March 2017, donating the land with the intention of creating a network of national parks roughly the size of Switzerland.

　　他的遗孀克莉丝汀·汤普金斯于2017年3月与国家政府签署了一项土地捐赠协议，目的是建立一个大小与瑞士相当的国家公园网络。
