Long ears and an almost giraffe-like neck identify this gerenuk, or Waller's gazelle, standing in a clearing in Marsabit National Reserve in northern Kenya. The 579-square-mile (1,500-square-kilometer) park opened in 1967 and provides protection to some of Africa's most iconic animals, including elephants, kudu, leopards, and ostriches.

A peacock, perhaps competing with the surrounding flora, struts in full regalia amid the roses and manicured hedges of an English garden. A peacock’s brilliant tail feathers, or coverts, make up more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and are usually deployed during courtship displays.
在一个修剪精美的英国花园里，一只孔雀在玫瑰从中盛屏绽放，可能在与周围的花媲美。孔雀的大尾羽占身体长度的60％，通常会在求爱季节开屏。

Lacy tree branches cast their shadows on the Five Raths, seventh century Dravidian shrines to Hindu gods each carved from a single, massive granite boulder. The temples, located in Mahabalipuram in southern India, are, from left to right: The Ganesha Rath, the Durga cell, the Arjana Rath, the Bhima Rath, and the Dharmaraja Rath.

A sea otter shares the waters of Alaska’s foggy Prince William Sound with a spill-containment vessel nearly a decade after the Exxon Valdez ran aground and fouled these pristine waters with 11 million gallons (40 million liters) of crude oil. Intense clean-up efforts after the disaster lasted more than four years.
在Exxon Valdez 泄漏事故后10年，一只海獭与溢出物拦截船和平共处、共享浓雾弥漫的威廉王子湾。 当年，Exxon Valdez在该海湾搁浅，并向这片水域泄漏了近1100万加仑（4000万升）原油。灾后的大规模清理持续长达4年之久。
Now, evidence of the spill is hard to detect. But some beaches still have Valdez oil buried just below the surface. And scientists say some animal species, including sea otters, harbor seals, harlequin ducks, and herring, have yet to recover from the spill’s negative effects.
现在，当年的泄漏痕迹很难识别了。但是，一些沙滩仍有部分渗漏的Valdez石油残留在沙下。科学家称，一些海洋物种如海獭、海豹、丑鸭和鲱鱼等仍未摆脱泄漏事故造成的负面影响。

Lake Hoare, Antarctica, 1998
南极洲 Hoare 湖
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Antarctica’s perennially ice-covered Lake Hoare bears the scars of sand and dirt that have worked their way from the surface down into the ice. Soil blows onto the lake from a nearby dry valley, warms in the sun, and melts downward, leaving a bubble column in its trail.
南极的永久冰湖Hoare表面布满“疤痕”。这些“疤痕”是由外至内，一路渗透到冰层里的沙石、泥土留下的。泥土是从附近的一个干燥山谷被风到湖上的。这些沙石在阳光的照射下升温，向下融化，沿途留下一个个泡沫冰柱。

让大家见笑了，现在看看，翻译的一般一般，需要提高的地方很多 ---喜欢那张列支登士敦的田园风光，要是哪天有钱了，到那里去买一小块地，过几天那里农夫的日子。 列支登士敦是二战的参战国，且是战胜国。它是唯一在二战中没有伤亡的军队，而且还增加了一名军人。开战后，列支登士敦派遣了一支一千人的军乐队去参战，在战争期间，一名拥有双重国籍的人，从其它国家的军队中转到这支军乐队来服役，那是一名有列支登士敦国籍的军号手。这样，在他们凯旋之时，不但没有减员，反而还增加了一个人。 |
