Unit 5　The power of nature 单词注释难句剖析导读诱思Kilauea’s History夏威夷的基拉韦厄火山(Mount Kilauea)是世界上最活跃的火山之一,至今仍经常喷发。古夏威夷人把它看作是火山神“派丽”愤怒和痛苦的象征。下面让我们一起来了解一下吧! 单词注释难句剖析导读诱思Tourists will always remember Kilauea for its historically eruptive volcano.It is a continually active volcano and an eruption may switch from effusive① to explosive.Legend tells us that Pele,the ancient volcano goddess of Hawaii,lived in Kilauea.This town was born from volcanic activity—like all the islands in Hawaii—and still keeps on growing.Kilauea volcano was formed some 300,000 to 600,000 years ago.Centuries later,the island of Hawaii was born.The volcanic eruptions have shaped the ancient minds of the Hawaiians who thought that the lava formations were symbols of the goddess Pele’s extreme anger and severe physical and mental pain.Thus,they named the volcanic formations as Pele’s Tears,the solidified teardrop-shaped lava formations. 单词注释难句剖析导读诱思These eruptions have also caused the rifts② on the east zone of the island.Kilauea rests beside Mount Loa,another highly active volcano on the Big Island.As it erupts,it forms new lands.However,it destroys communities and buries ancient temples in the process.The Kilauea eruption ruined the “Waha’ula Heiau”,a 7-century-old Hawaiian temple,as well as a national park center.The volcano is still very active today.The Hawaiians,although living in the modern world with modern views,still respect the volcano and the island that sprung from it.The old concepts③ of gods and goddesses are gone,but the historical eruptions will always remind them of the fragility④ of their existence on the island. 单词注释难句剖析导读诱思①effusive /I?fju?sIv/ adj.流出的;奔放的②rift /rIft/ n.裂缝③concept /?k?nsept/ n.观念④fragility /fr??d?Il?ti/ n. 脆弱 难句剖析导读诱思单词注释 The volcanic eruptions have shaped the ancient minds of the Hawaiians who thought that the lava formations were symbols of the goddess Pele’s extreme anger and severe physical and mental pain.译文:火山的喷发已经影响了古代夏威夷人的思想,他们认为岩浆的形成是“派丽”女神极度的愤怒以及强烈的身心痛苦的象征。剖析:这
