答案

世界遗产标志象征着文化遗产与自然遗产之间相互依存的关系.它被用来标识受《世界遗产公约》保护,并正式列入《世界遗产清单》的遗产地,体现了《公约》规定的突出普遍价值.中央的正方形代表人类技能和创造力的造物,其外的圆圈代表大自然的赋予,两者密切相连.这个标志呈圆形,象征着世界,也象征着全球对人类的共同遗产进行保护.标志由比利时艺术家Michel Olyff设计,于1978年正式被定为《公约》之标志.
原文：
The World Heritage emblem represents the interdependence of the world’s natural and cultural diversity. It is used to identify properties protected by the World Heritage Convention and inscribed on the official World Heritage List, and represents the universal values for which the Convention stands. While the central square symbolizes the results of human skill and inspiration, the circle celebrates the gifts of nature. The emblem is round, like the world, a symbol of global protection for the heritage of all humankind. Designed by Belgian artist Michel Olyff, it was adopted as the official emblem of the World Heritage Convention in 1978.
