yellowstone national park

in the winter of 1807, a lone fur-trapper journeyed deep into the heart of the rocky mountains. somewhere near the headwater of the yellowstone river, he found a lost world. a wonderland, ruled by ice, fire and brimstone. a world of extremes that challenges all that strive to live here. winter in yellowstone, minus 40 degrees. for half the year, yellowstone is frozen solid. yet in the middle of this ice world there is scalding heat. this is no ordinary place and there is no ordinary winter. the fate of everything here lies in the hands of forces of almost unimaginable power. yellowstone is deep in the heart of the rocky mountains of north america. an isolated high plateau defended by rugged peaks. and its location is what makes it so different. right beneath yellowstone a unique quirt of geology means that molten rock from deep in the earth comes usually close to the frozen surface. no one knows why it happens right here, but its impact is what has made yellowstone world famous. yellowstone is the most extensive geothermal area on the earth. it has over 10 000 thermal wonders and more geysers than the rest of the world put together. old faithful is yellowstone's most well-known geyser. it shoots 5000 gallons of water, 150 feet into the air almost every hour.

黃石公園

在1807年冬天，一個設陷阱狩獵的獵人，孤身深入到洛杉磯山脈的心臟地帶。在黃石河上游附近的某處，他發現了一個遺失的世界。一個奇境，受冰、火和硫磺所支配。一個極端的世界，考驗著一切在此存活的生物。黃石公園的冬天，零下40度。每年當中有一半的時間，黃石公園都被凍得結結實實。然而在這個冰凍世界的中央，卻有滾燙的熱度。這是一個不尋常的地方，這里的冬天同樣不尋常。在這里，每種生物的命運，都被一種幾乎不可思議的力量所掌控。黃石公園位于北美洛杉磯山脈的深處，被高高起伏的山巒與世隔絕。正是它所處的位置，讓它顯得如此與眾不同。在黃石公園的下方，隱藏著一種獨特的地質形態，地質學上稱之為巖漿。從地球的深處，幾乎直通到冰凍的地表。沒有人知道為什么剛好通到這里。然而正是巖漿的噴發作用，使黃石公園聞名于世。黃石公園有地球上分布最廣的地熱區域，這里有超過1萬個地熱景觀。這里的地熱噴泉數目超過世界其他所有地方的集合。“老忠實泉”是黃石公園地熱噴泉中的明星，幾乎每隔1小時，它就會往空中噴出5000加侖水，高達150英尺。

小貼士

名花賞析：

the calla lily 馬蹄蓮

the calla lily is simple, as all elegant things. it makes a great potted plant, but you should be careful for children and animals: callas are very toxic, if eaten!

馬蹄蓮花集樸素、典雅于一身。雖然馬蹄蓮花是一種極好的盆栽花，但是你要留心你的小孩和動物，不要讓他們吃了它，馬蹄蓮花有劇毒。

the bird of paradise 天堂鳥

this amazing flower has the shape of a bird and this makes it special. the colorful bird of paradise is pretty tall: the plant may reach as much as 1.5 meters in height and the flower itself is also very large. the bird of paradise may be only found in south africa.

這種令人驚艷的花形狀很像一只鳥，正是這一點讓它很特別。顏色瑰麗的天堂鳥花非常高，有1.5米那么高，花朵本身也特別大。或許你只能在南非才能看到天堂鳥花。

the rose 玫瑰

roses are the most known flowers in the world. the big, colored roses have been preferred by all people in the world at any event what so ever. they have many symbols, depending on their colors. for example, the color talk of white rose is “i am worthy of you”.
