红杉

Sequoias fascinate people. They fascinate people by their size and age. They simply exceed human dimensions.

红杉魅力无穷，其树身之大，寿命之长，令人赞叹，简直不可想像。

His answer comes as no surprise considering Yosemite encompasses nearly 1,200 square miles of spectacular granite cliffs, magnificent waterfalls and giant sequoias.

他的答案并不令人感到讶异，因为占地近一千两百平方哩的「优胜美地国家公园」满布壮观的花岗岩峭壁、宏伟瀑布和巨大红杉。

Old-growth forests contain trees that are hundreds, even thousands, of years old—great stands of Douglas firs and giant sequoias and redwoods.

成熟原始森林中有百年甚至千年古木，以洋松、巨红杉和红木为典型。

Sequoias are spectacular redwood trees, towering 300 feet high. But these trees have unusually shallow root systems. So why don't they crash to the ground in strong winds?

红杉是高耸三百呎的壮丽红木树，但这些树的根往往非常浅，那为何它们面对强风也不致折断倒地呢？

But to appreciate the redwoods, you must walk among them.

但是要欣赏红杉就必须在它们中间走。

The redwoods range from 500- 1100 years old, and the tallest is 258-feet.

红杉的树龄从500到1000年并且最高的有258英尺高。

Only 36 coast redwoods taller than 360 feet have been recorded.

根据资料记载，高于360英尺的海岸红杉仅有36棵。

The renaissance has added a new dimension to the traditional rite of staring up at redwoods.

再造工程给传统的看着红杉生长的习俗增加了一个新的尺度。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
