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 确实的; 符合的
vi·tal·ity /va t l ti/ [ U]生命力；活力；热情,=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/ 砂岩
force用力，强行（把…移动）
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.大自然运用色彩的神奇之处的另一个例证是土耳其的帕穆卡莱，这里以其璀璨的白色台阶而闻名。这片“棉花糖”般的景观，因其独特的形态和色彩吸引了世界各地的游客。那从山谷一侧倾泻而下的“岩石瀑布”，是水流带走矿物质留下的痕迹。
il·lus·tra·tion / l stre n/ (说明事实的)故事,实例,示例
magic·al / m d kl/奇妙的；令人愉快的
strik·ing / stra k / 引人注目的；异乎寻常的；显著的
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. 位于澳大利亚的希尔利湖是大自然用其独特的颜料盒所创造的又一杰作。看看希尔利湖吧，你会被其平静湖水的柔和粉色所吸引。与紧邻其旁的印度洋的蓝色海水形成对比，它那粉色的湖水显得更加梦幻般地美丽。
paint·box / pe ntb ks/ 颜料盒
contrast (with sth)(靠近或作比较时)显出明显的差异，形成对比
Many scientists believe the pink colour is caused by a
microorganism which lives in the lake and produces a pigment also contained in carrots.胡萝卜
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.这只是世界各地众多奇妙地貌中的三个例子。这些地貌呈现出的色彩，如果不是亲眼所见，我们根本无法相信。大自然母亲确实拥有一套让任何艺术家都梦寐以求的“颜料盒”。
pig·ment / p ɡm nt/色素,颜料
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、兴趣）
spec·tacu·lar /spek t kj l (r)/ 壮观的;壮丽的;令人惊叹的
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 / 极有魅力的；绝妙的；给人以深刻印象的,=beautiful; 令人惊奇万分的；令人震惊的
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(石灰岩地区常见的地形)
pil·lar / p l (r)/ 柱子,桥墩(尤指兼作装饰的);柱状物
sword /s d/ 剑；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/ 使沉积;使沉淀;使淤积;放下;放置;付(订金);付(保证金);付(押金);寄放,寄存(贵重物品)
lime·stone/ la mst n/ 石灰岩
erode / r d/ 侵蚀；腐蚀；风化,=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.我知道墨西哥纳伊卡的“巨晶洞”这一奇景。该洞穴是在 2000 年偶然被发现的。洞内有着一些迄今为止发现的最大的天然晶体，其中最长的一块晶体长达 11.4 米。人们认为这些璀璨的白色巨型晶体是由一种质地柔软的白色矿物质在极其缓慢的速率下历经至少 50 万年才形成的。
crys·tal / kr stl/ 水晶;结晶；晶体
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…戏称为;给…起绰号;为(影片或电视节目)配音;译制
devil / devl/ 魔王；魔鬼；恶魔；魔王；魔鬼；撒旦
