加入我们的导览徒步，前往约霍国家公园的布尔吉斯页岩

并与加拿大公园管理局的解说员共度一天

当我们来到采石场时，会看到…

……这里展现出惊人的身体结构多样性

我们会看到捕食者、食腐动物，

以及食物链底层的生物，

还有各种防御手段的动物

参观布尔吉斯页岩非常特别，因为你可以亲手触摸岩石，

走进历史，观赏壮观的化石，

而且身处在绝佳的自然环境中

这里是地球上最美的景点之一

这里的山脉年轻却在不断剥蚀

而布尔吉斯页岩的化石却非常古老

已有五亿年历史，仍然完好保存，等着我们来观赏

这超出了我的预期

我原本只期待一次长途徒步，但这次还有其他收获，

而且确实很开心能停下来欣赏风景，

尤其是站在这里环顾四周，寻找化石之类的

你真的感觉自己在亲身参与，而不是站在绒带后面观望

你可以真正触摸、感受它——非常有趣

我非常惊讶这里如此多的化石，而且它们如此古老，几乎随处可见

只要坐下来捡起一块石头，往往就能发现化石

四处看看，哇，真的超出我的想象

这真是令人惊叹，几乎五亿年的历史让人感到谦卑，

它至今仍在这里，我们可以亲眼看到并体验它

而这正是我们今天生命的起点

你可能只期望看到几件化石，但这里到处都是化石

Join us for a guided hike to the Burgess Shale in Yoho national Park

and spend a day with a Parks Canada interpreter.

So one of the things that we'll see when we get up to the quarry

is we'll see a real amazing diversity of body plans.

So we see creatures that were predators, creatures that would have been scavengers,

creatures that were at the very bottom of the food chain,

and animals with all kinds of defensive techniques.

A visit to the Burgess Shale is very special because you really get to be hands on with the rock,

to step into a little bit of history and see some spectacular fossils

and do it in a fantastic surrounding.

I mean, one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

So the mountains are young but falling apart.

But the Burgess Shale fossils are ancient.

Half a billion years old and still perfectly preserved waiting for us to come and see.

This is more than what I expected.

I didn't really expect that much other than a long hike, but it has it's benefits

and it's definitely been nice to stop and enjoy the scenery

and especially to get up here and kind of look around for fossils and stuff like that.

You really feel like you're doing something and you're not just behind a velvet rope,

you're really touching and feeling it - it's really fun.

I'm very surprised that there are so much and that they are so old and that you can see them everywhere.

You just sit here and pick up a rock and there's a fossil.

You just look here and there and, um, it's beyond what I thought it would be.

It's amazing. It's almost humbling that this is almost half a billion years old

and it's still here and we can see it and experience it.

And this is the start of life that's you and me today.

You expect to see maybe half a dozen, and there are just everywhere, all the fossils.

• So one of the things that we'll see when we get up to the quarry is we'll see a real amazing diversity of body plans.

  ➔ 关系从句 ('that we'll see'), 强调句 ('one of the things...is'), 将来时 ('will')

  ➔ 这句话使用了复杂的结构，包含修饰“things”的关系从句和强调“diversity”的强调句。 “we'll”是“we will”的缩写，表示将来的动作。

• A visit to the Burgess Shale is very special because you really get to be hands on with the rock, to step into a little bit of history and see some spectacular fossils.

  ➔ 目的不定式 ('to step', 'to see'), 程度副词 ('really', 'little bit'), 作为主语补语的动名词 ('visiting')

  ➔ 这句话解释了为什么这次旅行很特别。不定式“to step”和“to see”表示旅行的目的。“really”和“a little bit”修饰形容词并增加细微差别。

• You just sit here and pick up a rock and there's a fossil.

  ➔ 祈使语气 ('sit', 'pick up'), 表示习惯性动作/普遍真理的现在时，存在句型 'there is/are'

  ➔ 这句话使用直接命令 ('sit', 'pick up') 来营造一种紧迫感。“there is”结构表示化石的存在。现在时表明这是一种常见的现象。
