巨杉

除了瀑布，约塞米蒂国家公园还以深谷、古老的巨杉以及成百上千的动物物种引以为荣。

In addition to waterfalls , the park boasts deep valleys , ancient sequoias , and hundreds of animal species .

巨杉属植物；有时包括在红杉属内；直到最近被归为杉科。高耸入云的巨杉令我们惊叹不已。

Giant sequoias ; sometimes included in the genus Sequoia ; until recently placed in the Taxodiaceae . We stood in awe of the lofty redwood trees .

除此以外还有大盐湖，老实泉，猛犸洞穴以及巨杉森林，我们将会另选时间给大家讲述其它的一些自然奇观。

What about the Great Salt Lake , the Old Faithful Geyser , and the giant redwood forests ? We will have to report about them and other natural wonders another time .

巨杉树被伐倒的那一瞬间是震撼人心的，此前负责砍伐“马克吐温大红杉”的伐木工人们花费了整整八天时间来挖沟渠，以确保巨树倒地时是完好无损的。

Since giant sequoias were prone to shattering when they fell , the loggers who took down Mark Twain spent eight days digging a trench that they lined with feathers to keep the tree intact when it crashed to the ground .
