Amazing China

Huge Bonsa between Water and Sky

大意：武夷山（Wuyi Mountain），位于中国的东南部，总面积约1000平方公里。这里拥有福建省（Fujian Province）最大的自然保护区，生长着世界同纬度带现存面积最大的亚热带原生性森林系统。

1、subtropical/ˌsʌb'trɒpɪkəl/ adj. 亚热带的

Wuyi Mountain is deeply influenced by a fault zone, which controls the direction of the ridge line. The other faults divide the mountain into several fault blocks and form many deep valleys.

大意：武夷山深受断裂带的影响，主要断裂控制了山脊线的走向。其他方向的断裂带则把山体分割成若干段块，形成了众多深谷。

2、fault block [地质] 断块；故障闭塞；断裂地块

Tongmuguan Fault Zone is the center of the faults, forming a spectacular “V”-shaped grand canyon. The intense tectonic movements of millions of years ago gifted Wuyi Mountain a magnificent Danxia landform, which differs from the Danxia landform in Northwest China.

大意：桐木关断裂带（Tongmuguan Fault Zone）就是断裂中心，V型大峡谷非常壮观。亿万年前剧烈的地壳运动（tectonic movements）给武夷山带来了壮丽的丹霞地貌（Danxia landform）。这里与西北大丹霞地貌不同。

3、canyon/'kænjən/ n. 峡谷

Many of the rock surfaces are covered with different shades of vegetation, creating a blush on the huge green mountains.

大意：众多岩石表面覆盖了深浅不一的植被，丹霞就像给庞大的绿色山脉抹上了腮红。

4、vegetation/vedʒɪ'teɪʃ(ə)n/ n. 植物(总称)，草木

The Goddess Peak, the symbol of Wuyi Mountain, is the typical residual Danxia landform left by the faults. Geological movement caused a red-rock massif to collapse under its enormous weight. The Goddess Peak is the last remaining pillar of the surrounding rocks after the collapse.

大意：玉女峰（The Goddess Peak）是武夷山的标志，它便是典型的断裂残留型丹霞地貌。地壳运动导致了一块红色岩石在巨大的重力作用下坍塌。玉女峰就是周边岩石倒塌后残留下来的峰柱。

There are many cracks in the cast rocks of Wuyi Mountain. After millions of years of scouring and cutting by water flowing through them, many streams have been formed around the mountain.

大意：武夷山的赤石岩中有许多断裂缝隙。溪水流淌在上面，经过千万年的冲刷和切割，形成了水绕山行的溪流。

Sitting on bamboo rafts and following the stream, tourists can enjoy the scenery of Wuyi Mountain along the way.

大意：游客坐在竹筏上顺流而下，沿途就可以把武夷山的风景尽收眼底。
