9、r.请将课文“A trip on The True North”译成汉语，然后参考译文助读自主勘误译文助读“真北方”之旅李黛玉和她的表妹刘倩要去加拿大大西洋海岸的蒙特利尔市看望她们的表兄妹们。她们不想一路乘飞机，她们决定飞到温哥华，再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。要横贯整个大陆的想法很是令人兴奋。朋友林丹尼在机场等候她们。他要带着她们和她们的行李去火车站乘坐横越加拿大的“真北方”号列车。在去火车站的路上，林丹尼聊起了她们的旅程：“你们沿途将会看到美丽壮阔的风景。一路向东行，你们会经过一座座山脉，上千个湖泊和森林，还有宽阔的河流和许多大城市。有人想在不到 5 天的时间里穿越加拿大，他们忘了
10、加拿大从东海岸到西海岸共有 5 500 公里。这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。人们说温哥华是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大山和太平洋环抱。落基山可以滑雪，海港供你扬帆，这些使得温哥华成为加拿大最受欢迎的居住城市之一。这个城市的人口增长很快。在温哥华北面的海岸上保存着世界上最古老、最美丽的森林。那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达 90 多米。 ”那天下午表姐妹俩才登上火车落了座。火车先是穿越落基山脉，她们看到了野山羊，甚至还看到了一只大灰熊和一只鹰。她们的下一站就是卡尔加里，这个城市因“大西部赛马会”而闻名。来自世界各地的牛仔们来参加赛马会比赛。他们中许多人都有骑野马的才能，他们能赢得几
11、千美元的奖金。两天以后，她们开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。虽然她们在学校学过，大多数加拿大人居住在靠近美国几百公里以内的边境地带，加拿大的人口也只有 3 千万多一点儿。但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们还是很惊讶。火车穿过一个种植小麦的省份，她们看到了面积有数千英亩的农场。晚饭后，她们又回到位于五大湖区顶端的繁忙的港口城市桑德湾。巨大的海轮可以开到五大湖，让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。她们知道，因为五大湖，加拿大的淡水比世界上任何其他国家都要多。事实上，加拿大拥有全世界 1/3 的淡水量，其中大部分都蓄在五大湖泊里。那天夜里她们睡着了，火车越过苏必利尔湖，穿过大森林，朝南向多伦多飞驰着。,.课文精选段落背诵，
