　　As is subtly portrayed in the cartoon, two tourists are taking sightseeing on a small boat while discarding their picnic leftovers casually into a lake. And below the drawing, there is a topic which says: "after" the travel or "me" in the travel.

　　From the portrayal, we can conclude that the painter wants to convey such a message: a good many scenic spots are flooded with visitors, who spoil the beauty of nature by creating and leaving behind God-knows-how-much trash. On the one hand, tourism, as a multibillion-dollar business, is booming everywhere. On the other hand, tourism has exerted great pressure on the environment we are living in: water is polluted, the ecological system is disturbed, and natural resources have been excessively used.

　　Undoubtedly, tourism could not be banned in any country as it does help to shore up the economy in places which offer few sources of income. The significant point is that the unchecked growth of the travel business may render the development of an economy unsustainable.

　　如图所示，两名游客正在一艘小船上观光，同时把野餐的剩余垃圾随意丢入湖中。在图画下方，有个小标题写明：“旅程之‘余’”。

　　从漫画中，我们可以得出结论，画家想要表达下述信息：成群的游客涌入很多景点，制造并丢弃了大量的垃圾，影响了大自然的美观。一方面，旅游业作为一项数十亿美元的产业，正在世界各地迅猛发展。另一方面，旅游业已经对我们生存的环境造成了巨大的压力：水受到污染，生态平衡遭到破坏，自然资源被过度开发。

　　毫无疑问，由于在其他收入很少的地区，旅游业确实有助于发展经济，因此任何国家都无法禁止旅游业。但重要的是旅游业毫无节制的发展可能使得经济发展不可持续。
