沙漠匕首?(Desert daggers?)
这些非常上镜且相互关联的树木,它们粗壮有力的四肢伸向沙漠天空的暗淡光线,是人们来到加利福尼亚州约书亚树国家公园的主要原因。约书亚树于1936年8月10日被宣布为国家纪念碑,然后于1994年被指定为国家公园。也许没有其他国家公园如此完全由单一特征来定义,无论是植物、野生动物还是自然形态。约书亚树国家公园还有其他的奇观,这棵树看起来是苏斯博士画的,是游客们来庆祝的。
原文:
These immensely photogenic and relatable trees, their shaggy, sinewy limbs thrust upward into the pale light of the desert sky, are the main reason people come here to California’s Joshua Tree National Park. Joshua Tree was declared a national monument on August 10, 1936, before being designated a national park in 1994. Perhaps no other national park is so completely defined by a single feature, be it a plant or wildlife, or natural formation. While Joshua Tree National Park contains other wonders, this tree that looks drawn by Dr. Seuss is what visitors come to celebrate.
