24 Introduction What makes something a natural wonder?
导言 是什么让事情自然而然的奇迹?
A wonder is a natural structure so amazing and beautiful that it makes you ponder how it was formed.
一个奇迹是一个自然结构 如此惊人和美丽 让你思考它是如何形成的。
Natural wonders are landforms that have been created by nature, not by humans.
自然奇观是自然所创造出的土地形态,不是由人类所创造出.
Our planet is home to many natural wonders.
我们的星球有着许多自然奇迹。
In this book, we will learn about five of them: • A layered canyon carved by a river • A young volcano that took over a village • A breathtaking waterfall • An immense coral reef • A towering mountain Arizona’s Barringer Meteorite Crater shows how space rocks colliding with Earth create amazing landforms.
在这本书中,我们将了解其中的五个: 由一条河流所雕刻出的一个分层峡谷 —— 一座接管了一村庄的年轻火山 —— 一个令人叹为观止的瀑布 —— 一个巨大的珊瑚礁 亚利桑那州一座高耸的山 地平线 地平线 地平线 地平线 地平线 地平线 地平线
Grand Canyon Between five and six million years ago, the Colorado River wound through a large plateau (pla-TOE), or an area of raised ground.
大峡谷 在500-600万年前,科罗拉多河从一个大高原(pla-TOE)中被打出伤口,或是一个高地.
Over time, the river picked up small pieces of the plateau and carried them as it flowed to the sea.
随着时间的推移,河道取出高原上的小块地并随同流入出海而来.
This process is called water erosion (e-RO-zhun).
这个过程被称为水蚀(e-RO-zhun).
Different kinds of rocks factor into water erosion.
不同种类的岩石成为水侵蚀的因素.
Some rocks are soft and break easily, while other rocks are hard and resist breakage.
有些岩石柔软而容易断裂,而其他岩石硬而能抵抗断裂.
In the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River flowed downstream, carrying pieces of the softer rocks and leaving behind the harder rocks.
在大峡谷中,科罗拉多河向下游流出,携带了更柔软的岩石碎片并留下了更坚硬的岩石.
Over millions of years, this process carved deep canyons in the rocks.
数百万年来,这个过程在岩石上雕刻出深峡谷.
These rocks make up the layers in the Canyon walls.
这些岩石构成了峡谷墙壁的地层.
The top of the Canyon, where most visitors enjoy their first view, is the youngest layer of the Canyon.
峡谷顶部是峡谷最年轻的地层,大部分游客都享受到第一景点.
The bottom layer, near the river, is the oldest.
河道附近地底地层最古老.
Scattered rocks located at the bottom of the Canyon date back as long ago as two billion years.
位于峡谷地底的碎石可以追溯到20亿年前.
The Grand Canyon is a great place to study rocks and the Earth’s history because the rock layers are so easy to see and reach.
大峡谷是一个研究岩石和地球历史的好地方,因为岩石地层非常容易看到并到达.
Geologists often visit the site.
地质学家经常访问该地.
One of the first geologists to visit was John Newberry, who traveled to the Canyon in 1858.
最早访问的地理学家之一是约翰·纽伯里(John Newberry),他于1858年前往峡谷.
Newberry was the first scientist to record the Canyon’s layers, although he wasn’t the first to see them.
Newberry是第一个记录峡谷地层的科学家,
The layers of rocks that form the Canyon walls show geologists what happened in the area over a period of two billion years.
形成峡谷地墙的地层显示地质学家在20亿年间在该地区发生的事情.
Grand Canyon Colorado River plateau The Colorado River slowly carved the rock of the Grand Canyon into the wondrous structure we see today.
大峡谷科罗拉多河高原 科罗拉多河缓慢地将大峡谷的岩石刻入了我们今天所看到的奇妙结构.
Native Americans lived in and around the Grand Canyon for more than 4,000 years before European explorers arrived.
美洲原住民在欧洲探险家到来之前,在大峡谷及其周围居住了4000多年之久.
By 1150, most of the original tribes had moved away.
到1150年,大部分原始部落已经迁出.
Only the Havasupai people remained.
只剩下哈瓦苏帕伊人。
Some of them still live and work in the Canyon.
有的还在峡谷中生活并工作.
Every year, millions of people travel to Grand Canyon National Park to hike, raft, and see this majestic wonder of nature.
每年都有数百万人前往大峡谷国家公园去远足,取出木筏,并看到这个伟大的自然奇迹.
Havasu Falls on the Havasupai Reservation is an example of how water continues to carve the western Grand Canyon.
哈瓦苏贝保留地上的哈瓦苏瀑布是水如何继续雕刻出西部大峡谷的例子.
Rattling Reptiles More than 47 different kinds of reptiles live in the Grand Canyon.
轻量级 有超过47种不同的爬行动物生活在大峡谷.
While most of these reptiles are harmless, visitors should keep an eye out for snakes.
虽然这些爬行动物大多是无害的,但访客应该注意蛇.
Although they rarely bite humans, the Grand Canyon rattlesnake and the diamondback rattlesnake are venomous.
虽然它们很少咬人,但"大峡谷响尾蛇"和"钻石背响尾蛇"都有毒.
In the winter, rattlesnakes hibernate in dens.
在冬天,响尾蛇在洞穴中冬眠.
Hundreds of rattlesnakes may live in one den.
数以百计的响尾蛇可能生活在一个洞穴里。
This is one of the only times rattlers live together.
这是响尾蛇唯一一起生活的时间之一
In the spring when the weather warms up, the snakes come out of their dens and go their separate ways.

In late summer, females give birth to live babies.
夏后期,雌性生活胎.
The babies only stay in the area where they were born for about seven to ten days.
婴儿只在出生地停留了大约七到十天。
Then they shed their first baby skin, add their first rattle, and move on in search of food.
然后他们把第一个婴儿的皮肤脱出, 加上第一个响起,然后继续寻找食物。
As a rattlesnake grows, it sheds its skin at least once a year, adding a new rattle to its tail with each shed.
随着响尾蛇的生长,它每年至少会露出一次皮肤,并用每个棚子给尾巴添加出一股新的响尾蛇.

Paricutín Many of nature’s creations are millions of years old.
自然界的创造历时数百万年。
They began forming long before humans lived on Earth.
它们早在人类生活在地球上之前就开始形成.
Other creations have formed in modern times.
其他创作在现代已经形成.
The Paricutín (pah-ree-koo-TEEN) volcano in Mexico is one such formation.
墨西哥的Paricutín (pah-ree-koo-TEEN)火山就是这种形成地之一.
Paricutín began forming in 1943 in a field.
Paricutín于1943年开始在一个领域形成.
A farmer discovered a fissure (FISH-ur), or opening in the ground, in his cornfield.
一名农民在他的玉米地上发现了裂缝(FISH-ur),或者在地上开口.
The crack was about 1.
裂缝大约为一分.
8 meters (6 ft) long.
8米(6英尺)长.
Soon more fissures appeared.
很快出现了更多的裂缝.
Black smoke came from the holes, and ash piled up on the ground, forming a cone.
黑烟从洞出,灰堆起地上,形成圆锥.
In about 12 hours, the cone had grown to 10 meters (33 ft) high, and after a day, it had grown to 50 meters (164 ft).
约12小时后,圆锥已经发展到10米(33英尺)高地,一天后又发展到50米(164英尺).
The volcano continued to grow, reaching a height of 100 meters (328 ft) in just a week.
火山继续生长,仅一周后就达到100米(328英尺)高.
The people of Paricutín hoped that their village would be safe, but after a few months, the cone had grown so large that lava started to reach their town.
帕里克廷人民希望他们的村庄安全,但几个月后,圆锥已经长出如此之大,熔岩开始到达他们的城镇.
The villagers had to evacuate, leaving behind their homes and farms.
村民不得不撤离,留下了自己的家园和农场.
Over a nine-year period, lava and ash eventually covered the entire village of Paricutín and most of the nearby town of San Juan.
在九年间,熔岩和灰烬最终覆盖了整个Paricutín村和相邻的圣胡安镇的大部分.
Eventually, all that was left of Paricutín was the church steeple rising out of the black rock as a reminder of nature’s power.
最后,Paricutín所剩的只是教堂从黑岩上起出尖塔来提醒大自然的力量。
A church steeple is all that remains visible after volcanic debris covered the town of Paricutín.
火山碎片覆盖了Paricutín镇之后,仍然可以看到教堂的尖顶。
Paricutín volcano erupts in 1943.
1943年帕里克丁火山爆发.
Volcanoes such as Paricutín are called cinder cones.
Paricutín等火山被称作灰缸锥.
They are the simplest type of volcano.
它们是最简单的火山类型。
Cinder cones are formed when lava, which is under pressure inside the Earth, shoots out from a central vent in the ground.
灰缸锥由地上受压的熔岩从地上中央喷口射出后形成.
As the lava explodes into the air, it cools and breaks into small pieces that harden and fall as rocks and ash, or cinders, around the central vent to form a cone.
当熔岩被炸入空气时,它会冷却并分解成小块来硬化并会像岩石和灰烬一样倒下,或者说灰烬,在中央口周围形成圆锥.
Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the top.
大部分圆锥形的顶部有碗状的陨坑.
Because Paricutín volcano is young, scientists have been able to observe its growth since it first appeared.
由于帕里克丁火山年轻,科学家们从首次出现开始就能够观测到它的生长.
Today, the volcano stands about 424 meters (1,391 ft) tall and covers 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi).
今天,火山站高约424米(1,391英尺),占地26平方公里(10 sq mi).

Victoria Falls, like the Grand Canyon, was formed by water.
维多利亚瀑布与大峡谷一样由水所形成.
Victoria Falls is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa.
维多利亚州 瀑布位于非洲赞比亚和津巴布韦的边境.
The Falls began forming millions of years ago when a shallow crack in the rock appeared across the path of the Zambezi River.
瀑布在数百万年前开始形成,当时岩石上出现了一条浅薄的裂口,横穿了赞比西河的河道.
The crack was caused when parts of the earth shifted about 150 million years ago.
裂口出自于大约一亿五千万年前地上部分地段的转移.
Over the years, the river flowed over the rock.
数年来,河道流过石上.
Eventually, the water wore down the soft rock, forming a cliff over which the river now falls.
最终,水穿过了柔软的岩石, 形成了一个悬崖, 河流现在倒下。
The pool into which the water falls is called a plunge pool.
倒入水中的水池被称为"倒出水池".
The Scottish explorer David Livingstone visited the Falls in 1855.
苏格兰探险家大卫·利文斯通于1855年访问了瀑布.
He was probably the first person from outside of Africa to see the wondrous formations.
他可能是第一位来自非洲以外地区的人,看到神奇的阵型.
He named the Falls after Queen Victoria of England.
他以英国女王维多利亚命名瀑布.
But many people think that Mosi-oa- Tunya is a more accurate name.
但许多人认为莫西-oa-通雅是一个更准确的名字.
The Falls is now part of two national parks, one in Zambia and one in Zimbabwe.
瀑布现为两个国家公园的一部分,一个在赞比亚,一个在津巴布韦.
Victoria Falls Fun Facts • Victoria Falls is actually divided into six waterfalls: Devil’s Cataract, Armchair Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the Eastern Cataract.

Mount Everest Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, is one of the most spectacular sites on Earth.
珠穆朗玛峰 珠穆朗玛峰是世界上最高的山峰,是地球上最壮观的景点之一.
Called “Forehead in the Sky” by the Nepali people, this magnificent landform in the Himalayan Mountains reaches a height of 8,850 meters (29,035 ft).
喜马拉雅山脉的这一宏伟地貌被尼泊尔人称为“天空前地”,达到8,850米(29,035英尺)。
The snowcapped Himalayas might appear old, but they are actually quite young for mountains.
雪盖的喜马拉雅山脉可能看起来很老了, 但它们实际上对山脉来说还很年轻。
The mountains were formed millions of years ago when two parts of Earth’s crust collided, or hit each other.
几百万年前,当地壳两地相撞或相撞时,山脉就形成了。
Over time, the pressure of the two parts rubbing against each other caused the ground to crumble and rise above the sea.
随着时间推移,两部分相撞的压力使地上崩塌并出海.
Since Mount Everest is a young mountain, its peaks are still jagged and steep.
自从登山 珠穆朗玛峰是一座年轻的山峰,它的山峰仍然被堵住并陡峭.
They haven’t yet been eroded and smoothed down by endless years of wind, ice, and snow.
他们还没有被无休止的年风、冰和雪所侵蚀和平滑。
Although Mount Everest is beautiful to look at, the conditions on the mountain are very harsh.
虽然珠穆朗玛峰美丽可观,但山上的条件非常恶劣.
The average temperature is about -36°C (-33°F) and can drop to -60°C (-76°F).
平均气温约为-36°C(-33°F),可降至-60°C(-76°F).
Even in July, the warmest month, the temperature only reaches -19°C (-2°F).
即使在最温暖的7月,温度也只达到19°C(-2°F).
It never gets above freezing, and as a result, the ice and snow at the top of the mountain never melt.
它从来没有超过冰冻,结果,山顶的冰雪永远不会融化.
Storms dump more snow on Mount Everest every year.
暴风雪每年在珠穆朗玛峰倾倒出更多的雪.
The extreme conditions on Mount Everest make it hard for animals and plants to survive.
珠穆朗玛峰的极端条件使得动植物难以生存.
One of the only animals that can live on the mountain is the wild yak.
山上能活出的唯一一种动物是野生 .
This large animal can weigh more than 454 kilograms (1,000 lb) and grow up to 1.
这种大型动物的体重可超过454公斤(1000磅)并会长到一.
8 meters (6 ft) tall.
8米(6英尺)高.
One of the reasons the yak is able to survive is because its blood can take in more oxygen than the blood of other animals.
亚克能活下来的原因之一是它的血液可以吸收比其他动物的血液更多的氧气.
This adaptation is a lifesaver on Mount Everest, where the air contains little oxygen.
这种适应是珠穆朗玛峰上的一种救生机,那里的空气中含氧很少.
The people who originally settled in the Himalayan Mountains believed that the gods made their homes in the peaks.
最初定居于喜马拉雅山地的人们认为,神祇们在山峰中创造了自己的家园.
As a result, no one tried to climb Mount Everest until explorers arrived in the early 1900s.
因此,在探险家于1900年代初抵达之前,没有人试图攀登珠穆朗玛峰.
The earliest climbers quickly learned about the harsh conditions on the mountain—freezing temperatures, powerful winds, changing weather, and rough terrain.
最早的登山者很快得知了山地的严酷条件——冷冻温度,强风,天气变化和地势崎岖.
Despite all the obstacles, mountaineers continued to come to Mount Everest, hoping to be the first to make it to the top.
尽管遇到种种障碍,登山者仍继续来珠穆朗玛峰,希望成为第一个登上顶峰.
No one was successful until 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary (from New Zealand) and Tenzing Norgay (a Sherpa from Nepal) became the first men to successfully climb the mountain.
直到1953年埃德蒙·希拉里爵士(出自新西兰)和坦辛格·诺盖(出自尼泊尔的一位舍尔巴人)成为第一位成功登山的男子后,才无人成功.
Since then, many climbers from all over the world have risked their lives to get to the top of the “Forehead in the Sky.”
从那时起,来自世界各地的许多登山者冒着生命危险来到了“天空前头”的顶峰。 “
