America's Most Underrated National Parks
Go into the wild and discover coral reefs, hanging glaciers, and acres of untouched backcountry.
发掘美国鲜为人知的美丽国家公园
---走进原始世界,跟珊瑚礁、悬冰川、一大片未发掘的原始乡村亲密接触
There are 58 national parks in the United States, many of them unsung natural oases full of majestic beauty. And while the marquee parks—Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite—are well worth visiting, there are drawbacks, namely high admission prices and enormous crowds. An average of 26,542 people visit Yellowstone on a typical July day—nearly twice as many as Wisconsin ’s gloriously isolated Isle Royale National Park gets in an entire year. The famous park also charges a $25 entrance per adult—much more than Isle Royale’s $4 admission price.
The other parks on our list may also be little known, but they too are singularly spectacular, each incorporating special features. So strap on your boots and get ready to hit the nature trails of some of our least-known national treasures.
参考译文:
在美国有58个国家公园,他们很多都是未经发掘的原始大自然系统,拥有壮大的美丽景色。当许多享负盛名的大公园——黄石公园、大峡谷、约塞米蒂国家公园,值得前往观赏的同时,都带来些不便,即高阶的门票跟许许多多的人群。例如比较旺的七月,平均有26542个人去参观黄石国家公园——人数近乎位于威斯康星州郊外小岛,皇家国家公园全年人数的2倍。而出名的黄石公园每个成年人收费门票25美元——比皇家小岛的4美元贵多了。
在(文中)我们名单之内的公园也许很少人知道,当时他们的景色也很异乎寻常地壮观,每一个地方都跟周围自然景色结合,独具特色。现在就绑好你的鞋带,准备向通往自然景观的小经——一些链接我们很少知道的国家宝藏出发吧!
