Video script
Narrator: It is often said that “seeing is believing”. This is true of many of the world’s natural wonders. It is not always possible for us to imagine the vitality and variety
of colours that Mother Nature uses to create her masterpieces. Take China’s Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark for example.
be true of 確實的; 符合的
vi·tal·ity /va t l ti/ [ U]生命力；活力；熱情,=vigour
One of its typical landforms consists of multicoloured folds of rocks, several hundred metres high. These amazing structures are made from red sandstone that was laid down at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago and then forced upwards by movements of the Earth’s plates. Carved by wind and rain, they stand in sharp contrast to the greens and greys of the plains nearby.
land·form / l ndf m/ 地形；地貌
sand·stone / s ndst n/ 砂巖
force用力，強行（把…移動）
Another illustration of Mother Nature’s magical use of colours is Pamukkale in Turkey, famous for its brilliant white steps. This “cotton candy” landscape, with its striking formation and colour, draws visitors from around the world. The “waterfall” of rock, falling down the side of a valley, is the result of minerals left by flowing water.大自然運用色彩的神奇之處的另一個例證是土耳其的帕穆卡萊，這里以其璀璨的白色臺階而聞名。這片“棉花糖”般的景觀，因其獨特的形態和色彩吸引了世界各地的游客。那從山谷一側傾瀉而下的“巖石瀑布”，是水流帶走礦物質留下的痕跡。
il·lus·tra·tion / l stre n/ (說明事實的)故事,實例,示例
magic·al / m d kl/奇妙的；令人愉快的
strik·ing / stra k / 引人注目的；異乎尋常的；顯著的
Lake Hillier, located in Australia, is another masterpiece that Mother Nature has created with her unique paintbox. Take a look at Lake Hillier, and your eyes will be delighted by the soft pink of its still waters. Contrasted with the blue waters of the Indian Ocean, which is situated right next to Lake Hillier, its pink waters seem even more unreal. 位于澳大利亞的希爾利湖是大自然用其獨特的顏料盒所創造的又一杰作?？纯聪柪桑銜黄淦届o湖水的柔和粉色所吸引。與緊鄰其旁的印度洋的藍色海水形成對比，它那粉色的湖水顯得更加夢幻般地美麗。
paint·box / pe ntb ks/ 顏料盒
contrast (with sth)(靠近或作比較時)顯出明顯的差異，形成對比
Many scientists believe the pink colour is caused by a
microorganism which lives in the lake and produces a pigment also contained in carrots.胡蘿卜
These are just three of the many incredible formations to be found around the world. They display colours that we could not possibly believe if we did not see them with our own eyes. Mother Nature has, indeed, a paintbox that any artist would love to own.這只是世界各地眾多奇妙地貌中的三個例子。這些地貌呈現出的色彩，如果不是親眼所見，我們根本無法相信。大自然母親確實擁有一套讓任何藝術家都夢寐以求的“顏料盒”。
pig·ment / p ɡm nt/色素,顏料
1. Which of these geological wonders attracts you most Why
I find China’s Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark the most attractive. The various multicoloured folds of rocks appear to be hand-painted and remind me of a beautiful rainbow. I think it is amazing that nature has “painted” such a perfect picture and I am glad I can enjoy its beauty.
Pamukkale in Turkey certainly captures my attention. The spectacular white steps really look like sweet and soft cotton candy—good enough to eat! I also find the
“waterfall” of rock really fascinating: it looks like water, but it is actually formed from minerals.
capture sb's attention/imagination/interest引起（注意、想象、興趣）
spec·tacu·lar /spek t kj l (r)/ 壯觀的;壯麗的;令人驚嘆的
Pink is my favourite colour, so Lake Hillier in Australia attracts me most. The lake is extremely unusual and fascinating to look at. Besides, I am amazed that a
microorganism is the reason for its stunning colour. Nature is truly full of beautiful surprises.
stun·ning/ st n / 極有魅力的；絕妙的；給人以深刻印象的,=beautiful; 令人驚奇萬分的；令人震驚的
2. What other geological wonders do you know about
I know of the Shilin UNESCO Global Geopark situated in Yunnan Province, China. The geopark conservation area contains 350 square kilometres of unusual karst formations that create a “stone forest”. It includes various karst shapes that look like tall pillars, swords, mushrooms and towers.
karst/kɑ st/喀斯特,喀斯特地貌(石灰巖地區常見的地形)
pil·lar / p l (r)/ 柱子,橋墩(尤指兼作裝飾的);柱狀物
sword /s d/ 劍；刀
This area was once covered by an ancient sea, and shells and bones of dead sea animals were deposited, which would one day become limestone. When the sea disappeared, the layers of limestone were exposed and eroded over time to form the amazing stone forest
we see today.
de·posit /d p z t/ 使沉積;使沉淀;使淤積;放下;放置;付(訂金);付(保證金);付(押金);寄放,寄存(貴重物品)
lime·stone/ la mst n/ 石灰巖
erode / r d/ 侵蝕；腐蝕；風化,=wear away
I know about the Giant Crystal Cave in Naica, Mexico, which was accidentally discovered in 2000. It contains some of the biggest natural crystals ever found, with the largest recorded one being 11.4 metres long. It is believed that the brilliant white giant crystals were formed from a type of soft white mineral at an extremely slow rate over the course of at least 500,000 years.我知道墨西哥納伊卡的“巨晶洞”這一奇景。該洞穴是在 2000 年偶然被發現的。洞內有著一些迄今為止發現的最大的天然晶體，其中最長的一塊晶體長達 11.4 米。人們認為這些璀璨的白色巨型晶體是由一種質地柔軟的白色礦物質在極其緩慢的速率下歷經至少 50 萬年才形成的。
crys·tal / kr stl/ 水晶;結晶；晶體
Mexico/ meks k /墨西哥
Situated in north-west China’s Qinghai Province, Aiken Spring in the Gobi Desert is dubbed the “Devil’s Eye”. Aiken Spring is 647 metres deep, the deepest hot spring in Qinghai. The water flowing out of the spring contains a high degree of sulphur, making the land around it barren. Rich in sulphur, the water of the lake dyes the surrounding land dark red and yellow. The lake appears to be an eye when seen from above.
dub /d b/ ( -bb- ) 把…戲稱為;給…起綽號;為(影片或電視節目)配音;譯制
devil / devl/ 魔王；魔鬼；惡魔；魔王；魔鬼；撒旦
