2018年商务英语初级口语测试：BBC蝴蝶森林

This the wettest place in southern Africa.

Decades of civil war have kept travellers away from this little-known land.

It was satellite mapping that revealed the full extent of the forest that grows here,

so now it’s known to outsiders as the Google rainforest.

It could also be called the butterfly forest.

After the rains, butterflies have emerged together in huge numbers.

As soon as their wings dry out, they will take to the air.

Their goal?To find a mate.

But how?

There may be thousands close by, but the foliage is so thick, it’s difficult for them to find each other.

此地也被叫做蝴蝶森林

雨过天晴，大量的蝴蝶汇聚在一起
