SEEING THE TRUE NORTH① VIA RAIL:
VANCOUVER AND THE HEART OF CANADA
Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast②.Rather than③ travel by commercial airline④ all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train.For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.
Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver,[1]seeing the sights. During their first day, [2]as is typical of⑤ Vancouver, it rained.Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay⑥, and later visit an island [3]that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques⑦.The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over⑧ the city.Later, they took a pleasant⑨ hike in a forest just a short distance away.

From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto.One of the train’s first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada’s huge oil and gas drilling㉑ industry.Edmonton is freezing㉒ cold in winter, [7]with daily temperatures averaging -10 ℃.Since it can be too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls.In fact, one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.
[4]动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
[5]过去分词短语作时间状语。
[6]they had ever taken是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。

From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie.At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty-seven million.However, they did not anticipate㉓ seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed.They went through two wheat-growing provinces, where they saw a bunch㉔ of farms that covered a very large area.
After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg.From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario — a land of forests and lakes.The train thundered㉕ on, through the rolling hills.The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost㉖ on the ground, [8]confirming that autumn had arrived in Canada.Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto.When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtains㉗, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron — one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario’s southern border㉘.[9]It was not until 9:30 a.m.that they finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto.All in all㉙, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration㉚ of four days.

坐火车看“真北方”:温哥华与加拿大腹地
李黛予和表妹刘倩前往加拿大探望居住在大西洋海岸哈利法克斯市的表兄妹。她们没有一路乘坐商业航班,而是决定先飞到温哥华,然后再乘坐火车。一想到可以坐火车横穿整个国家,姐妹俩就激动不已。
出发前,她们在温哥华待了两天,欣赏当地风光。第一天,温哥华一如往常细雨蒙蒙。尽管天气不佳,她们仍然泛舟驶入海湾,接着游览了一座岛屿。岛上有精致的店铺,出售手工艺品和古董。第二天,天气晴朗,温度适宜,她们看到壮美的群山俯瞰着整座城市,甚是欣喜。随后,她们在不远处的森林中徒步旅行,十分惬意。
次日清晨,两个女孩早早起床,登上开往路易斯湖的火车,穿越加拿大落基山脉。从车窗往外望去,加拿大巍峨的山脉和辽阔的森林尽收眼底。火车抵达后,她们乘坐出租车来到路易斯湖,那里湛蓝的湖水异常美丽,令她们惊叹不已。她们过了一夜,然后乘坐长途汽车,向北穿越加拿大的落基山脉,来到贾斯珀。望着眼前的美景,两人一致认为这是她们所经历过的最棒的一次旅行。除了欣赏壮丽的山峰和森林,旅程的亮点之一是能看到种类繁多的动物,如鹿、山羊,甚至还有一只灰熊和一只老鹰。
在贾斯珀,她们坐上了开往多伦多的火车。火车的头几站中有一站是埃德蒙顿,这是阿尔伯塔的省会,也是加拿大庞大的油气开采业中心。埃德蒙顿的冬季十分寒冷,日平均气温为零下10摄氏度。由于天寒地冻,不适合户外活动,因此埃德蒙顿拥有众多大型购物中心。事实上,北美最大的购物中心之一就在埃德蒙顿。
列车从埃德蒙顿出发,朝东南方向一路驶过加拿大大草原。黛予和刘倩在学校学过,加拿大的人口才刚过3,700万。然而,两人还是未曾料想能看到如此辽阔的国度,真是惊叹不已。她们穿越两个种植小麦的省份,看到一片片广阔的农场。
她们在火车上又度过了一天,最终回到了都市区域——温尼伯市。从该市出发,她们连夜前行,从梦乡中醒来时,火车已抵达森林和湖泊密布的安大略省。火车继续轰隆隆地向前行驶,穿过绵延的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色,地面盖着一层霜,表明加拿大已进入秋季。夜幕再次降临,火车转向南行,开往多伦多。次日清晨,她们醒来,拉开车窗窗帘,辽阔的休伦湖映入眼帘。休伦湖是安大略省南部边境的四大湖之一。上午九点半,她们终于抵达安大略省的省会多伦多。从温哥华到多伦多,她们的旅行总共历时四天。
