Lesson 1. Canaima - Eco-tours with Angels and Devils 1. At this height, the jungle looked like (a gigantic green carpet, except for the red rivers snaking through it.)(巨大的绿色毯子，唯有几条蜿蜒曲行于之上的红色河流)。。。the plane (took a dramatic dive)（猛地下将）along the trajectory of the mighty Angel Falls-the longest waterfall in the world-(as it plummeted down into Devil’s Canyon.) (象坠入德弗尔大峡谷一样) 2. It was one of the most awe-inspiring sights I have ever beheld, but (almost equally incredulous) (几乎令人同样不可思议的) was the fact that we were the only ones there! 3.

Eco-tourism means responsible, (low-impact travel, and generally involves some degree of “roughing-it” ) (带来的不良影响小的旅游，而且一般要使旅游者“餐风露宿”，吃些苦，受些罪). 8.? 爬到山顶找了个有利地形放眼远眺，只见群山逶迤，如龙蛇腾走，蔚为壮观，这是我所见过的最令人敬畏的景象。不远处，一只雄鹰展翅高飞，猛然又一个俯冲直至深谷，让人不由直呼过瘾。 After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking afar from the vantage point, I saw laid out before me a spectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld; but equally exhilarating
