國家地理這幾個字可能會讓人聯想(喚起)遙遠土地和異域風情的風景,但是曆代讀者都會欣喜地證實,這本刊物始終對有趣的人(讓人著迷的人)和那些被發現似乎近在咫尺的地域(被發現比家還近的地域)給予慷慨的關注。
-摘自National Geographic On Assignment USA
The words National Geographic are likely to conjure up scenes of faraway lands and exotic customs, but as generations of readers can testify with delight, the magazine has always paid generous attention to the fascinating people and places found closer to home.
