2018年商务英语初级口语测试：森林慢慢消亡

Meltwater flows down from the glaciers.

And on the lower slopes,

all this water supports thick jungle.....

remnants of the dense,

steamy forests that once dominated the whole of East Africa.

But driven by a drying climate beyond the mountains,

the forests began to wither away.

Today, only small pockets of upland jungle remain -home to animals

who once roamed the ancient forests.

The largest living primates on earth.

Mountain gorillas.

冰雪融水从冰川滚滚而下

到了低缓的山坡

便会滋润茂密的丛林

那曾经遍布整个东非的

苍郁茂盛氤氲淋漓的森林的残余部分

但是受山外干旱气候的影响

森林开始慢慢消亡

现在就只剩高山区的零星几片丛林了

成为曾经在古森林中漫步的动物们最后的家园

那是地球上现存的最大的灵长动物

山地大猩猩
