黄石公园的英文名叫“The Yellow Stone National Park”,所以翻译过来是“黄石国家公园”
是世界第一座国家公园,成立于1872年。黄石公园位于美国中西部怀俄明州的西北角,并向西北方向延伸到爱达荷州和蒙大拿州,面积达8956平方公里。这片地区原本是印地安人的圣地,但因美国探险家路易斯与克拉克的`发掘,而成为世界上最早的国家公园。它在1978年被列为世界自然遗产。
黄石国家公园自然景观分为五大区,即玛默区、罗斯福区、峡谷区、间歇泉区和湖泊区。五个景区各具特色,但有—个共同的特色——地热奇观。黄石国家
黄石国家公园城堡间歇泉
公园内有温泉3000处,其中间歇泉300处,许多喷水高度超过100英尺,“狮群喷泉”由四个喷泉组成,水柱喷出前发出像狮吼的声音,接着水柱射向空中;“蓝宝石喷泉”水色碧蓝;最著名的“老忠实泉”因很有规律地喷水而得名。从它被发现到现在的100多年间,每隔33—93分钟喷发一次,每次喷发持续四五分钟,水柱高40多米,从不间断。园内道路总长500多英里,小径总长1000多英里,黄石湖、肖肖尼湖、斯内克河和黄石河分布其间。公园四周被卡斯特、肖肖尼、蒂顿、塔伊,比佛黑德和加拉廷国有森林环绕。黄石公园它那由水与火锤炼而成的大地原始景观被人们称为“地球表面上最精彩、最壮观的美景”,描述成“已超乎人类艺术所能达到的极限”。
我们主要看了最大的一个。开始,只见泉眼不停地冒烟。烟里满是硫磺味,时而浓,时而薄。渐渐地,烟越来越浓,泉眼中冒出了些许水。突然,一个水柱直冲云霄,高度有几十米!水柱持续了几十秒,渐渐的退了回去。
这喷泉,虽然时间短,却很是值得看。我听到旁边有一个美国人说,他开车开了六个小时,就是为了赶来看这一瞬间!
Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games are similar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is respected.
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.
The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.
