这是谁的井?(Whose 'well' is this?)
我们站在美国俄勒冈州崎岖的海岸上,借助摄影师的长焦镜头,眺望着雷神的水井。只有最勇敢的游客才会在涨潮时站得这么近,而太平洋在他们周围肆虐。它被称为“巨大的深坑”、“太平洋的排水管”甚至“地狱之门”,实际上并不是一个无底洞。它大约有20英尺(6米)深,在低潮时可以步行到达,这时你可以窥视它的运行机制。

We are standing here on the USA's craggy Oregon coast looking out to Thor’s Well, with the help of a photographer’s telephoto lens. Only the most daring of visitors would stand this close at high tide, while the Pacific Ocean raged around them. Dubbed a ‘gaping sinkhole,’ the ‘drainpipe of the Pacific’ and even a ‘gate to hell’, it is not actually a bottomless pit. It is about 20ft (6m) deep and is accessible by foot at low tide, when you can peer in to see its mechanisms at work.
