今晚構思單字講座內容的當下,餘震不斷。震央位於花蓮縣壽豐鄉。任何看過0403強震前後空拍對比的人,想必都會不禁感嘆,太魯閣峽谷壯麗美景何時能再現?話說「峽谷」是 canyon 還是 crayon 呢?下方說分明。
▍canyon (n) 峽谷 = gorge
▶ 例 1:太魯閣峽谷綿延 19 公里,是座由立霧溪刻蝕而成的大理石峽谷。
Taroko Gorge is a 19 km long marble canyon carved out by Liwu River.
▍crayon (n)
▶ 例 1:今日我們所熟知的蠟筆,17 世紀就有囉。
The crayon we know today has been around since the 17th century.
