地圖上顯示了哪些地理特征？如何描述你國家的風(fēng)景

來聽今天的講解:

Beginner

A: what are you doing?

你在干什么？

B: I’m just looking at this map of the world. I’m preparing for a geography class.

我只是在看這張世界地圖。我正在為地理課做準(zhǔn)備。

A: there are no countries marked on the map.

地圖上沒有標(biāo)明國家。

B: no, there aren’t. this map just show the geographical features. Look at the Himalayan plateau with the highest peaks in the world.

不，沒有。這張地圖只是顯示了地理特征。看看喜馬拉雅高原，那里有世界上最高峰。

A: the thing that I find most surprising is that most of the world is covered with water. Compared to the oceans, most countries are tiny.

我發(fā)現(xiàn)最令人驚訝的是，世界上大部分地區(qū)都被水覆蓋。與海洋相比，大多數(shù)國家都很小。

B: I find it incredible how millions of years of volcanic activity have created mountains thousands of metres tall.

我覺得不可思議的是，數(shù)百萬年的火山活動(dòng)造就了數(shù)千米高的山脈。

A: rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand canyou.

河流形成了像大峽谷一樣的深谷和峽谷。

B: the oceans and landscapes all influence our climate.

海洋和風(fēng)景都影響著我們的氣候。

A: it’s all so interesting. I’ll have to find more information about it on the internet. Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class.

這一切太有趣了。我得在網(wǎng)上找到更多關(guān)于它的信息。或者也許我應(yīng)該去上你的地理課。

Intermediate

A: bout our countries are quite small. How would you describe the landscape in your country?

關(guān)于我們的國家都很小。你如何描述你國家的風(fēng)景？

B: my country is well know for being very flat. There are some hills in the southeast of the country.

我的國家以平坦著稱。在這個(gè)國家的東南部有一些山丘。

A: is it really completely flat?

它真的完全平了嗎？

B: pretty much. The land rises and falls only a few meters. The southeast, the hills rise to a height of a few hundred meters. There are mountains over 1000 meters high in your country.

差不多。陸地起伏只有幾米。東南部的山丘高達(dá)幾百米。你們國家有1000多米高的山。

A: yes, there are. They are not very big compared with the mountains in other countries.

是的，有。與其他國家的山相比，它們不是很大。

B: the coast of your country is very varied. The coast of my country is just made up of sandy beaches.

貴國的海岸多種多樣。我國的海岸只是由沙灘組成的。

A: that doesn’t sound too bad. Great for sunbathing! The coast of my country changes even within a few kilometers. There are cliffs, then sandy beaches. Then rocks. There are lots of caves in the cliffs. There are also many small islands off the coast, but few people lives on them.

聽起來還不錯(cuò)。非常適合日光浴！我國的海岸即使在幾公里內(nèi)也會(huì)發(fā)生變化。有懸崖，然后是沙灘。然后是巖石。懸崖上有很多洞穴。海岸邊也有很多小島，但很少有人住在上面。

B: there are many lakes and rivers in your country too. We also have many rivers, but only a few lakes.

你們國家也有很多湖泊和河流。我們也有很多河流，但只有幾個(gè)湖泊。

A: we also have waterfalls in the mountains. They make the landscapes look very scenic. The landscape has been shapes by millions of years of erosion, especially by water.

我們?cè)谏缴线€有瀑布。它們使風(fēng)景看起來非常優(yōu)美。風(fēng)景是由數(shù)百萬年的侵蝕形成的，尤其是水的侵蝕。
