词海拾贝 难句剖析 理解诱思 Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?It is one of the natural wonders of the world.Let’s enjoy it! The Grand Canyon1 in Southwestern America,known as one of the seven wonders2 of the natural world,is a deep,ancient3 opening in the earth.It looks as if it formed as the earth split apart.But the canyon was cut by rivers.The rivers that carried dirt and pieces of stone slowly ate away the surrounding rock.For millions of years,the rivers turned and pushed.They cut deeper and deeper into the earth.They left a pathway4 of a great rocky5 opening in the earth that extended6 for hundreds of kilometres. 词海拾贝 难句剖析 理解诱思 There are several ways to visit the Grand Canyon.Hundreds of thousands of people see the canyon by air each year.They pay a helicopter or airplane pilot to fly them above and around the canyon. About twenty thousand people a year see the Grand Canyon from the Colorado River itself.They ride boats over the rapid,rocky water.These trips last one week or three weeks. Visitors can see the Grand Canyon in another way.A huge glass walkway,called the Skywalk,extends twenty-one metres from the edge of the Grand Canyon.The Skywalk is suspended7 more than one thousand two hundred metres above the bottom of the canyon.It is shaped8 like a giant horseshoe9.Visitors pay twenty-five dollars each to walk beyond the canyon walls,surrounded by the canyon,while standing at the edge of the glass bridge. 词海拾贝 难句剖析 理解诱思 译文 位于美国西南部的大峡谷被誉为世界七大自然奇迹之一。它不仅深邃而且历史悠久。大峡谷的形成似乎是由于地球表面的裂痕,而实际上大峡谷是由于河流而形成的。携带着泥沙和碎石的河水慢慢地吞噬了周围的岩石。几百万年来,河水流淌,它们侵入地表越来越深,留下来一条绵延几百千米的岩石通道。 要参观大峡谷有好几个办法。每年都有好几十万人从空中观赏大峡谷。他们会乘坐直升机或飞机在大峡谷上空和四周游览。 词海拾贝 难句剖析 理解诱思 每年大约有两万人从科罗拉多河游览大峡谷。他们在岩石突起的激流中驾船而过。这样的旅行持续一周或三周。 游客们还有另外一种方法游览大峡谷。玻璃桥,一条由玻璃制作的通道,从大峡谷的边缘伸出21米。这座玻璃桥被悬挂于大峡谷上方1 200米处,它就像一个巨大的马蹄铁。游客每人支付25美元就可以走到峡谷墙壁的外侧,站在玻璃桥的边缘,体验被峡谷环绕的感觉。 词海拾贝 难句剖析 理解诱思 1.canyon[̍kænjən] n. 峡谷 2.wonder[̍wʌndə(r)] n.奇迹 3.ancient[̍eInʃənt] adj.古代的 4.pathway[̍paː􀱺weI] n.道路 5.rocky[̍rɒki] adj.多岩石的 6.extend[Ik̍stend] vi
