[第1~2段译文]
长白山在中国东北部的吉林省,这个美丽的山区大部分是茂密的林区。长白山是中国最大的自然保护区,保持着它的原始状态,以供中国人民和世界各地的游客们欣赏。这里地面的高度从海拔700米到2 000多米不等,是多种多样稀有动植物的生长地。珍稀动物有鹤、黑熊、豹子和老虎。许多人到长白山来研究珍奇的动植物。另外一些人则是到山里来走一走,看看那些蔚为壮观的瀑布,或者在温水池里泡个澡。然而保护区里最值得欣赏的地方则是天池,或者说是天上的湖。
天池是一个深水湖,是由山顶一个死火山的火山口形成的。湖的海拔为2 194米,水的深度超过200米。到冬天湖面就全部结冰了。从路的尽头到山顶大约要爬一个小时。你一到达山顶就会得到回报--你不仅可以看到天池那清澈的湖水,而且可以看到天池四周其他16座山峰的景色。
