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.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.
秘鲁( Peru )是南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家,有三个主要区域:狭长( narrow )、干燥、平坦的( flat )沿海地区,安第斯山脉( the Andes Mountains )以及亚马孙雨林( the Amazon rainforest )
在15至16世纪期间,秘鲁曾是强大的( powerful )古印加帝国( the Inca Empire )的中心。印加帝王( emperor )就住在现在闻名于世的马丘比丘( Machu Picchu )遗址( site )。西班牙( Spain )在16世纪开始控制( take control of )秘鲁,一直统治到1821年。正因为如此,西班牙语( Spanish )是秘鲁的主要官方( official )语言。

You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with the local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.

Sharing and explanation
The four-day walking tour will take you on amazing path through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. 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. Incas' builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.
四天的徒步旅行,您将沿着奇妙的山径,在安第斯山脉中穿行,直抵马丘比丘市。到达目的地之后,您将有一天的时间来探索这座令人叹为观止的古城。尤其令人称奇的是印加人的干式石头搭砌的建造方法。印加的建筑工人将石头切割成精确的尺寸,仅仅凭着石头间的完美契合,即可稳固墙体。
精讲点拨:
Especially amazing is the Incas' dry stone method of building.
本句由于主语较长,为避免头重脚轻,将表语“Especially amazing” 提到句首,引起句子完全倒装。 句子是正常语序是:The Incas’ dry stone method of building is especially amazing.
特别令人惊叹的是印加人的干式石头搭砌的建造方法。
