在这个以建制之速朽而名垂史册的时代,得知国家公园历经多年风雨,仍然是美国有史以来最好的创意,无疑是让人安慰的。1912年,英国外交家詹姆斯·布赖斯做出了这个判断,当时美国能够拿来夸耀的公园还屈指可数,而新建一个联邦机构专职照看这些公园还是四年之后的事情。逝者如斯夫!再过不到十年的时间,美国人就该开香槟庆祝国家公园管理局的百岁生日了。不过,以最近的情势来看,这要有一个前提:到时得有足够多的高标准未糟践踏,美国人才有理由举杯相庆。
It is comforting to learn that the history of the National Park, after years of history as a system of history, is still the best idea in the history of the United States after many years of trials and tribulations. In 1912, the British diplomat James Bryce made this judgment. At that time, the number of parks the United States could boast of was very few, and it was still four years since a new federal agency took full-time care of the parks. In less than a decade, Americans deserve champagne to celebrate the 100th birthday of the National Park Service. However, in the light of the recent situation, there is a premise: there must be grounds for Americans to celebrate with enough high standards not to be trampled.
