世界上最短的5條河流
It is hard to imagine that there are rivers less than a minute walk. When it comes to rivers, we often visualize long, flowing rivers that travel through hills and valleys before reaching the ocean. The Nile is an example, with a length of more than 6800km. The Amazon, Yangtze, and Mississippi Rivers are also known for their enormous length and magnificent flow.
很難想象還有不到一分鐘路程的河流。說到河流,我們常常想象一條長長的、流動(dòng)的河流,它穿過山丘和山谷,最后到達(dá)大海。尼羅河就是一個(gè)例子,它的長度超過6800公里。亞馬遜河、長江和密西西比河也以其巨大的長度和壯麗的流量而聞名。
However, not all rivers are large. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a river is "a natural stream of water flowing in a channel with a defined shore". In fact, many rivers are multichannel flows. And there are also many rivers that you can easily go all their length in ... a minute. So why don't people call them lakes or creeks? This is because they have a steady stream flowing down from the high mountains and end at a sea, lake, or wetlands.
然而,并不是所有的河流都很長。根據(jù)《大英百科全書》的說法,河流是“一條天然的水流,流經(jīng)有明確海岸的河道”。事實(shí)上,許多河流都是多河道的。還有很多河流,你可以很容易地游完所有的長度……一分鐘。那為什么人們不稱它們?yōu)楹椿蛐∠?這是因?yàn)樗鼈冇幸粭l穩(wěn)定的溪流,從高山流下,止于大海、湖泊或濕地。
