2 The
Grand
Canyon
was
not
just
big.
A
great
wonder
of
the
natural
world
When
I
arrived,
it
was
early
morning
and
it
was
raining.
I
looked
to
the
east—the
sky
was
becoming
grey.
I
got
out
of
the
car,
went
through
a
gate
and
walked
along
a
dark
path.
There
was
nothing
to
see,
but
I
knew
it
was
there.
After
about
a
mile,
a
stranger
appeared
beside
the
path.
“Am
I
going
the
right
way?”
I
asked.
He
knew
where
I
was
going.
“Yes,”
he
replied,
“youl
get
there
in
five
minutes.”
Finaly,
I
came
to
some
rocks
and
stopped.
I
looked
over
them,
but
it
was
silent
and
there
was
no
sign
of
it.
Suddenly,
the
rain
stopped
and
the
clouds
cleared.
The
sun
rose
behind
me
and
shone
on
the
rocks.
Far
below
me,
the
ground
fel
away
and
down
to
a
river.
I
was
looking
across
one
of
the
wonders
of
the
natural
world—the
Grand
Canyon.
I
looked
down
to
the
Colorado
River,
a
silver
stream
nearly
one
mile
below
me.
If
you
put
the
two
talest
buildings
in
the
world
on
top
of
each
other
at
the
bottom
of
the
canyon,
they
stil
would
not
reach
the
top.
Then
I
looked
across
to
the
other
side
of
the
canyon.
It
was
about
fifteen
miles
away,
maybe
more.
Finaly,
I
looked
to
my
left
and
to
my
right,
and
on
both
sides
the
canyon
went
far
away
for
more
than
200
miles.
The
Grand
Canyon
was
not
just
big.
It
was
huge!
I
remained
by
the
canyon
for
about
half
an
hour,
and
I
asked
myself,
“Is
the
Grand
Canyon
the
greatest
wonder
of
the
natural
world?”
I
certainly
know
the
answer.
What
do
you
think?
自然界的一大奇观
我到的时候,正是清晨,天下着雨。我朝
东边看了看,天空变得灰蒙蒙的。我下了车,
穿过一道门,沿着一条黑暗的小路前行。什
么也看不见,但是我知道它就在那儿。
大约走了一英里,小路边出现了一个陌
生人。“我走得对吗?”我问道。他知道我要
去哪儿。“对,”他回答道,“你五分钟就能到
那里。”终于,我走到一些岩石前停了下来。
我朝那片岩石望过去,但是一片寂静,还是看
不见它。
突然,雨停了,云散了。太阳从我身后升起,
照在岩石上。远远地,在我的下方,地面(仿
佛在随光线)向下延伸,(逐渐)退落,显露出
谷底的河流。我在眺望自然界奇观之一的大
峡谷。
我俯视着距我约一英里之遥的银色的科
罗拉多河。如果你把世界上最高的两座建筑
物叠在一起放在谷底,它们仍旧到不了顶。
然后,我眺望峡谷的另一边。它大约在十五
英里之外,也许更远。最后,我向左右遥望,
大峡谷向两边延伸,长达二百多英里。大峡
谷不仅仅是大。它是巨大!
我在峡谷伫立了约半小时,问了自己一个问
题:“大峡谷是自然界中最大的奇迹吗?”我当
然知道答案。你怎么认为呢?
