1. Who are crying?
________________________________________________________
Natural wonders.
→ The Dead Sea, the Rainforest of Madagascar and the glacier at the Glacier National Park.
1. What figure of speech (修辞手法) is used?
________________________________________________________
Personification (拟人).
这里用到的拟人的修辞手法,把人类的特征或行为赋予非人类的实体或无生命的物体。在这个短语中“自然奇观”被赋予了人类“大声呼救”的行为,仿佛自然奇观拥有情感,能像人类一样表达需求。这种拟人手法的运用,强调了自然奇观所面临状况的紧迫性,吸引读者关注保护它们的重要性,值得学习。
2. Why are they crying aloud for help?
________________________________________________________
Maybe because they are in danger.
The Dead Sea could die!
Rainforest - forest ≠ rain
If Frozen turns into Waterworld ...
死海
v. 死;去世
在这里指disappear 消失
→ adj. dead 死的,无生命的
dying 垂死的,濒死的
→ n. death 死亡
减号表示forest消失了

Natural wonders crying aloud for help
The Dead Sea could die!
I'm not a sea but a lake. And I'm not dead. In fact, there is some life within me, and many plants and animals live around me. I'm saltier than any sea, so people can lie on my surface. Rivers flow into me. But now people take too much water from them. My water level is going down. I am becoming smaller year by year. Take less water, or I'll dry up within the next 100 years. Then I really will be dead!
马达加斯加岛(非洲岛国)
正如我的名字所暗示的
比如
对……而言
为了获取木材,以及开辟农耕空间,正在砍伐我的树木
Rainforest - forest ≠ rain
I'm the rainforest of Madagascar. As my name suggests, I make rain for my plants and animals, such as monkeys, snakes and many kinds of flowers. For 80% of them, I'm their only home in the world. However, people are cutting down my trees for wood and to make space for farming. Please stop it. I'm disappearing.
马达加斯加共和国(简称“马达加斯加”),位于非洲大陆以东、印度洋西部,是非洲第一大、世界第四大岛。该国森林面积约占国土面积的21%,珍稀动植物种类繁多,一些动植物为马达加斯加独有。位于马达加斯加岛东部的阿钦安阿纳雨林被联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会批准作为自然遗产列入《世界遗产名录》。
