  Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) ride out high surf on blue-ice icebergs near Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. Safe for the moment from predaceous leopard seals, chinstrap penguins are the second most abundant species in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic.

  意译:南极洲的企鹅都聚结在纯洁冰的冰山上,靠近圣烛节岛的南部三文治岛内。为了安全免受海豹的攻击,南极企鹅是第二类盛产于南极洲或亚南极区。

  Palm trees cast lacy contours against a star-speckled sky in Coromandel Forest Park, New Zealand. Sprawled across 180,387 acres (73,000 hectares) in northeastern New Zealand, Coromandel Forest Park is home to stunning vistas: luxuriant forests, velvety fields, gnarled volcanoes, and rushing rivers.

  A paraglider casts a shadow over the dunes of Nigers Ténéré desert. A south-central tract of the Sahara, the 150,000-square-mile (400,000-square-kilometer) Ténéré is one of Africas most forbidding regions. Hot, dusty harmattan winds blow across the bone-dry desert, which receives an annual rainfall of about 1 inch (25 millimeters).

  Easter Island, 1979

  Photograph by Gordon Gahan

  Giant stone moai stand on Easter Islands stony slopes. Earlier explorers believed the stone statues were worshipped as gods by native Polynesians, but Captain James Cook and his men speculated in 1774 that they were constructed to honor ancestors, a view still held by many today. (Text adapted from and photograph from the National Geographic book Voyages to Paradise: Exploring in the Wake of Captain Cook, 1981)  

  意译:主标题:复活节岛,1979 巨石雕像竖立在耶稣复活节岛的石斜坡面,最早的探险家认为石雕像是本土玻利维亚人们崇拜神灵而作,但是库克船长和其他人,在1774年推测是为了尊敬他们的祖先。这一景观持续到今天。

  Route 66, Arizona, 1997

  Photograph by Vincent J. Musi

  Vestiges of Americana linger in an ice cream shops sign along Arizonas historic Route 66. Memorialized in many ways—in writing (Grapes of Wrath, On the Road), in song ("Get Your Kicks on Route 66"), and on screen (Route Sixty-Six)—the road still echoes mid-twentieth-century American culture.

  意译:主标题:美国,亚利桑那州,66公路,1997。

  美国人喜欢逗留在冰淇淋商店的痕迹,沿着亚利桑那州的著名的66号公路,表现多种方式,如作品、唱歌和看电影等,这里依然是二十世纪中期美国文化的回放。

  Breaking Surf, Bora-Bora, French Polynesia, 1997

  Photograph by Jodi Cobb

  Lacy breakers lap the coral reef that rings Bora-Bora, an ancient sunken volcano 165 miles (266 kilometers) northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesias Society Islands. Surrounded by sugar-white beaches, an electric-blue lagoon, and some of the clearest water on the planet, Bora-Bora is home to hundreds of species of tropical fish. Not surprisingly, its one of the worlds top spots for divers.

  (Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "French Polynesia: Charting a New Course," June 1997, National Geographic magazine)

  意译:法国属的玻利尼西亚多岛群岛,季节性东北冷风吹袭,浪拍海岸,1997.

  花边样的激浪包围珊瑚虫暗礁,好像发出Bora-Bora的声音,一个远古沉没的火山距离法属玻利尼西亚多岛群岛西北165英里(266公里)。被白糖海滩环绕,一个铁蓝色的泻湖,

  一些洁净的水在行星上,还有数百种热带鱼。不要惊讶,它是世界顶级潜水者的好去处。

  An aurora borealis glows brightly over Churchill, Canada. Auroras occur when charged particles outside the Earths atmosphere collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere. The result: a glowing display of curtains, arcs, and bands in the sky. The phenomenon is called aurora borealis or northern lights in the Northern Hemisphere and aurora australis or southern lights in the Southern Hemisphere.

  意译:一个黎明的女神――北极光越过教堂,加拿大。

  黎明的女神北极光的出现,在地球的外空大气层粒子的碰撞并且伴随许多原子在大气层的上面。其结果是一股炽热的,像弧形窗帘或法官的领带明亮的展示在天空。这种现象在北半球称作为北极光,而在南半球则叫南极光。

  The tentacles of a box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) trail behind it and can reach 15 feet (4.6 meters) in length. Found in northern Australia and adjacent waters, a sting from this species can be deadly. This species of box jellyfish, the largest, can have as many as 60 tentacles.

  "Spanning a West Virginia canyon 3,000 feet [914 meters] wide, the New River Gorge Bridge transformed 44,000 tons of steel and concrete into structural art as graceful as the morning mists drifting below it. Opened in 1977, it replaced an 1889 trestle—and 40 white-knuckled minutes on one-lane switchbacks—with 40 seconds on cruise control."  

  —From “New River’s Deep Soul,” June 1999, National Geographic magazine  

  Photograph by Susie Post Rust

  意译:在美国西维吉尼亚峡谷,峡谷有3000英尺(914米)广阔,新建一座山峡大桥,使用了44000 吨的钢铁和混凝土做为结构材料。每当早晨薄雾漂移到大桥下面是那么的优美。

  大桥在1977年开放,它取代了1889年的老式高架桥。

  A school of salema attempts to outmaneuver a hungry sea lion near the Galápagos Islands by circling to confuse the predator. Galápagos sea lions dive down some 120 feet (37 meters) on average to feed, returning to the surface after a minute or two to breathe.

  Grand Staircase-Escalante Outpost, Utah, 1999

  Photograph by Len Jenshel

  Striated red-rock mountains capped by a piercingly blue sky overlook a weather-beaten outpost in Utahs Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Part of southern Utahs "red rock country," Grand Staircase-Escalante was named a national monument in 1996, adding a 1.9-million-acre (768,903-hectare) slice of parched, mineral-rich wilderness to U.S. protected lands.

  A colony of sea squirts forms a colorful landscape, ample hiding place for an Eastern cleaner-clingfish (Cochleoceps orientalis) in the Tasman Sea off the coast of Australia. The tiny fish, which cleans parasites from the bodies of larger fish, fights strong currents by anchoring itself with a sucker disc on its abdomen.

  意译:一批海洋生物群体造就华美的风景线,充沛的食物和良好的隐匿环境为一批东方的清洁器――小喉盘鱼创造条件,它们生活在澳大利亚塔斯曼海并远离海岸。这些小鱼会清洁大鱼身体上的寄生虫,有时它们还互相打斗显示强壮,它们都有一个吸盘在其腹部以固定自己,然后开展清道夫样的工作。

  Valley of the Moon, Chile, 2003

  Photograph by Joel Sartore

  Tourists career down a mountainous sand dune in the aptly named Valley of the Moon region of Chiles Atacama Desert.

  This stark landscape between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains is considered the driest place on Earth, and some areas here have not received a drop of rain in hundreds of years. The terrain is so arid and forbidding, scientists came here to test the prototype for a rover destined for Mars.

  (Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Driest Place on Earth," August 2003, National Geographic magazine)

  意译:智利,月亮谷,2003年。

  旅游者愿意速滑下到山一样的沙丘,最合适的是智利的“月亮谷”。

  这是在风景如画的太平洋和安第斯山脉之间,是地球上一处干燥的地方。在这里已经有一百多年没有下过一滴雨水。这地形令人十分可怕的,科学家曾到此处测试。

  Goby and Bubble Coral, Indonesia, 2005

  Photograph by Tim Laman

  A goby fish with brilliant orange streaks stands out on a bit of gray bubble coral in Maumere Bay off Indonesias Flores Island. In most of the ocean, turbid or murky waters force creatures to use nonvisual means of communication—smell, taste, touch, and sound. But in the clear, sunlit waters of coral reefs, light abounds, vision predominates, and animals drape themselves in blazing color.

  (Text adapted from and photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish," May 2005, National Geographic magazine)

  意译:虾虎鱼和泡沫的珊瑚虫,印度尼西亚,2005。

  一条虾虎鱼有灿烂的橙色条纹,停止在一小块灰色泡沫珊瑚虫上,在(Maumere)海湾,远离印度尼西亚的升华岛。许多海洋里,那混浊或者黑暗中水的力量,动物会用各种手段来传达信息――嗅觉、味觉、触觉和声音保护自己。但是在清晰的、阳光照射的水中的珊瑚虫暗礁,阳光充满,视力优良,动物它们自己闪耀强烈的颜色展示自己。
