《太平洋岛屿剪贴簿》

Vanuatu, the country Dear Gran, My holiday in Vanuatu was great. The weather was hot and sticky. I visited different islands and met lots of people. I made you a scrapbook to show you the things I saw and learnt. Love from Amy

瓦努阿图这个国家 亲爱的奶奶，我在瓦努阿图的假期太棒啦。 天气又热又闷，黏糊糊的。 我去了好几个不同的岛，认识了好多人。 我给你做了一本剪贴簿，给你看看我看到的、学到的东西。 爱你的埃米

Banwatu has 83 islands which stretch over 1300 kilometres. The islands were formed millions of years ago when underwater volcanoes were pushed to the Earth's surface. Some of the volcanoes are still active.

瓦努阿图有83座岛屿，绵延超过1300公里。 这些岛屿形成于数百万年前，是海底火山被推到地球表面形成的。 其中有些火山至今还处于活跃状态哦。

Coral reefs grow around many of the islands. The reefs are made by tiny animals that grow hard shells to protect them. It takes millions and millions of these shells to build a reef.

很多岛屿的周围都生长着珊瑚礁。 珊瑚礁是微小的动物造的，它们会长出坚硬的外壳保护自己。 要堆积千百万个这样的小外壳才能形成一片珊瑚礁哦。

Port Vila Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu. It's on a farty island. There are lots of shops and cafes here. There's also a huge market that sells food, flowers and souvenirs. You can buy hundreds of different types of shells there too.

维拉港 维拉港是瓦努阿图的首都。 它坐落在一座美丽的岛屿上。 这里有好多商店和咖啡馆哦。 还有一个超大的集市，售卖食物、鲜花和纪念品。 你在那儿还能买到好几百种不同的贝壳呢。

Village Life Whole families live together in the villages. Many of them grow food in their gardens and catch fish from their canoes.

乡村生活 村子里家家户户都住在一起。 很多人在自家菜园里种粮食，还划独木舟捕鱼。
