地球上最安静的地方是哪里？

There are many regions on the planet that are remote enough for you to escape all the noise of human civilisation. England’s most tranquil place, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), is a 500m-by-500m patch of bogland in Kielder Mires, Northumberland.

在这个星球上有许多遥远的地方，足以让你远离人类文明的喧嚣。根据英国乡村保护运动(CPRE)的说法，英格兰最宁静的地方是诺森伯兰郡基尔德·米尔斯(Kielder Mires)的一片500m×500m的沼泽地。

But tranquil is not the same as silent: even this ungrazed wilderness still has the sound of wind and the occasional bird. In fact, being able to hear birdsong was one of the factors that the CPRE included when calculating a place’s tranquillity score.

但是宁静并不等于寂静：即使是在这片未受污染的旷野中，仍然有风声和偶尔的鸟鸣。事实上，能够听到鸟鸣是CPRE在计算一个地方的安宁指数时要考虑的因素之一。

To escape wind and birdsong, too, you need somewhere barren and sheltered, such as the crater of a volcano. One good candidate is the Haleakalā crater on the Hawaiian island of Maui, which has been dubbed the “quietest place on Earth”. Here, the sound level is just 10 decibels – the same volume as your own breathing – and is probably as quiet as anything you can experience.

要想逃避风和鸟鸣，您还需要一个贫瘠且避难的地方，例如火山的火山口。一个很好的候选地是夏威夷毛伊岛上的哈雷阿卡拉火山口，该火山口被称为“地球上最安静的地方”。在这里，声音电平仅为10分贝–与您自己的呼吸音量相同–可能是你能经历的最安静的声音。
