第01集

安集海大峡谷

今天我们要一起“游览”的是新疆沙湾县~Amazing China（美丽中国）第1集：安集海大峡谷。

In Xinjiang,China,the beautiful scenery can often take miraculous forms.

在中国新疆美景常常是以奇迹的形态出现的。

Anjihai Town has become famous the world over due to one canyon in particular.

一条峡谷成为安集海镇闻名于世的理由。

The river, which originates in the Tianshan Mountains,rushes down the steep slopes,carving its way through escarpments formed over millenia.

发源于天山的河流从陡坡冲下用漫长的时间在大地上切出延绵的悬崖。

The canyon is about 30 kilometers in length,with the valley floor being 3 to 4 hundred meters at its widest,while the narrowest part is only two or three meters.

峡谷全长约三十公里谷底最宽处达到三四百米窄处只有两三米。

From above,Anjihai Grand Canyon is rich in colors.

从高空看安集海大峡谷色彩丰富。

On either side of the canyon,red sandstone and gray mudstone alternate to create an astonishing landscape.

峡谷两侧红色砂岩和灰色泥岩交错分布呈现出奇异的景观。

The colors are formed as the river erodes and dissolves the sandstone and mudstone,drawing abstract pictures on the land.

河流将不同颜色的砂岩和泥岩冲刷溶解在大地上描绘出抽象画。

It is one of the most beautiful and yet virtually unknown canyons in Xinjiang.

这是新疆峡谷中最瑰丽也是最寂寂无闻的一条峡谷。

Because it is so hidden and the land on either side of the canyon are the same height,people sometimes come across it without warning.

由于它实在是太过隐蔽峡谷两岸的地面高度相近人们有时一直走到它的跟前才会猛然惊醒。

If they don't stop in time,then they could easily plunge off the cliff.

如果不及时止步有可能要摔下万丈悬崖。

Nestled among the Tianshan Mountains in China's Xinjiang, lies the Bayanbulak Grassland,the largest alpine grassland in China.

在中国新疆天山中部的山脉之中，隐藏着中国最大的高山草原，巴音布鲁克草原。

It covers an area of more than 23,000 square kilometers.

它的面积超过了23000平方公里。

Bayanbulak means“rich spring water”in Mongolian.

巴音布鲁克在蒙古语中的意思是丰富的泉水。

The surrounding snowy peaks act like a huge reservoir, delivering abundant water resources to the grassland and forming a huge number of lakes and marshes.

草原的四周被雪山环抱,雪山犹如一个巨大的水库，给草原带来丰沛的水源,形成了大量的湖泊和沼泽湿地。

On the Flat grassland,even a small force can alter the direction of a river.

Bright red rocks can be seen almost everywhere in the valley at the end of the glacier.

冰川尽头的河谷中几乎随处都能看到鲜红的岩石。

Scientists have found that the red blood color on the stone is not from a mineral, but a rare parasite, a rare lichen complex.

科学家的研究发现石头上的血红色并非矿物质而是一种极稀有的寄生生物一种罕见的地衣的复合体。

Whenever the temperature and humidity are right, they spread across the rock surface, dyeing the rocks bright red.

只要温度和湿度适宜它们就会在岩石表面肆意生长把一块块岩石染成鲜红色。

Taken away from the mountains however, they quickly change color and die.

只要被带出大山它们就会迅速变色死去。

Even if they are left in peace, their life span is only four to five years, and then they will regenerate and begin coloring the rocks bright red again.

吹来的大地

The Earth is a place of endless wonderWhere landscapes are often created from mere dust.

地球上总是能找到匪夷所思的存在，小到一颗尘埃，大到一片陆地。

黄土高原就是这样的存在。

大漠奇观 月牙泉

The Singing Sands Mountain is located in Dunhuang in western China.

鸣沙山位于中国西部的敦煌。

As you walk through the quicksand or slide down a sand mountain, sometimes you can hear loud noises from beneath your feet.

在流沙中行走或从沙山滑落沙粒都会发出巨大声响。

Hence the name'The Singing Sands Mountain'.

鸣沙山正是因此得名。

Nestling between the tall sand dunes, there is a little miracle.

高大的沙丘之间隐藏着一处奇观。

This spring, which looks like a crescent moon, has existed for thousands of years and has never dried up.

这汪酷似月牙的泉水已经存在了数千年从未干涸。

The formation and continuous existence of the Crescent Spring are all related to its topography.

月牙泉形成与延续的原因都和它的地势有关。

The flowing water converges here along the terrain and overflows through a porous geological layer to form the Crescent Spring.

流水顺着地势汇聚到这里透过松软的地质层溢出来形成月牙泉。

Although it's extremely dry here, with the annual evaporation being more than 60 times that of the annual precipitation, the stable water source ensures a sustainable water supply to the spring.

尽管这里极为干旱年蒸发量达到年降水量的60倍以上稳定的水源依然可以持续带来补给。

It's also due to the low-lying terrain.

同样是由于地势低洼。

Whenever there's a sandstorm, it forms an upward spiral air flow between the surrounding sand mountains, sending the sand at the foot back to the top of the sand mountain, saving the Crescent Spring from being swallowed by quicksand.

当风沙袭来会在周围的沙山之间形成回旋向上的气流将山脚的沙子送回到高大的沙山上因此 月牙泉从未被流沙吞噬。

The ancient Silk Road once passed by the Crescent Spring.

古代丝绸之路曾经在月牙泉经过。

And today, it has become a romantic paradise for visitors.
