PAGE 2 UNIT 2 TRAVELLING AROUND 课文译文 Reading and Thinking PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. 秘鲁是位于南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家，由三个主要地区构成：狭窄的 、干燥的、平坦的沿海地区，安第斯山脉和亚马孙热带雨林。 In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru. 在15至16世纪期间，秘鲁曾是强大的古印加帝国的中心。印加帝王就住在现闻名于世的马丘比丘。西班牙在16世纪开始掌控秘鲁，并一直统治到1821年。正因为如此，西班牙语才是秘鲁的主要官方语言。 TRAVEL PERU? 畅游秘鲁 Amazon Rainforest Tour? 亚马孙热带雨林之旅 A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest.

After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building.
