大西洋之珠(Pearl of the Atlantic)

今天，我们将前往马德拉岛边缘的青翠悬崖，马德拉岛是葡萄牙群岛的主要岛屿，也被称为马德拉岛，位于北大西洋摩洛哥以西约320英里处。这些梯田山坡就在岛北海岸的Ponta Delgada村外。马德拉岛和该岛链中的其他岛屿原本无人居住，在14世纪初由葡萄牙人定居，并在所谓的发现时代成为欧洲探险家的主要停留地。

Today we're taking a trip to the verdant cliffs at the edge of Madeira, the principal island of the Portuguese archipelago that's also called Madeira, roughly 320 miles west of Morocco in the North Atlantic. These terraced hillsides are just outside the village of Ponta Delgada, on the north coast of the island. Originally uninhabited, Madeira and the other islands in this chain were settled by the Portuguese in the early 1400s and became the main stopover for European explorers during the so-called Age of Discovery.
