If you visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
如果你参观大烟山国家公园,
chances are you will remember the roadside or campground bears above all else.
你很可能会记住路边或露营地的熊。
Bears are the most popular animals in a number of our national parks.
熊是我们国家公园里最受欢迎的动物。
In these mountains, where the population of bears runs into the hundreds,
在这些山区,熊的数量多达数百头,
opportunities to observe these large wild animals are plentiful during the summer.
夏天有很多机会观察这些大型野生动物。
Since national parks are wildlife sanctuaries where no disturbance of the native animals is allowed,
由于国家公园是野生动物保护区,不允许干扰当地动物,
years of protection have served to break down the wild bears' fear of humans.
多年的保护有助于消除野生熊对人类的恐惧。
Now, instead of depending on their own resources for a living, many bears patrol park roads and campgrounds.
现在,许多熊不再依靠自己的资源为生,而是在公园道路和露营地巡逻。
They give the garbage cans a frequent going over.
他们经常检查垃圾桶。
An occasional offer of food from a park visitor, an illegal and dangerous practice, makes beggars of them.
公园游客偶尔提供食物,这是一种非法且危险的行为,会让乞丐们成为乞丐。
Bears are very often hungry and since they will feed on almost any kind of plant or animal, garbage is quite acceptable.
熊通常很饿,因为它们几乎可以吃任何种类的植物或动物,所以垃圾是可以接受的。
Feeding them, however, represents misguided kindness because the bears come to expect such generosity from everyone and consequently, trouble could lie ahead.
然而,喂养它们代表着错误的善意,因为熊开始期待每个人都能如此慷慨,因此,麻烦可能就在前面。

Some of the accidents have come about in strange ways.

另一名男子试图将一只熊推到汽车的前排座位上,这样他就可以拍到一只熊坐在车轮后面的妻子身边的照片。
Because bears prefer roads and campgrounds, the possibility of a hiker meeting up with a bear along park trails is small,
因为熊更喜欢道路和露营地,所以徒步旅行者在公园小路上遇到熊的可能性很小,
but there's always that chance, for a bear seems to know if you are carrying a lunch or a candy bar.

He may even insist on taking it.
