卡前一段忽发奇想要去国家地理，然后老给我看热乎影片。我觉得这事儿不坏！挺好玩的。不过~干嘛非她去啊~女孩子家家的。主意不错有人干就行了。于是乎找了一个，得到资料如下：
"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."

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。

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.

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.

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。

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).

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.

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。

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。
