阿卡迪亚国家公园。 作者：迈克·斯塔克。 聚焦问题。 阿卡迪亚国家公园在哪里？ 你在那里能看到什么？

first to see the sun. Acadia National Park is one of the first places in the United States to see the sun rise. Look on a map and you'll understand why. Maine stretches farther east than any of the other 49 states. Acadia has tall peaks that catch the first rays of sunlight.

最先看到太阳的地方。 阿卡迪亚国家公园是最早在美国境内看到日出的地点之一。 看看地图你就知道原因了。 缅因州比其他49个州的位置都更靠东。 阿卡迪亚的高耸山峰能接住第一缕阳光。

land that meets the sea. More than two million people visit Acadia National Park each year. The park packs a lot into a small space, beautiful coastline, islands, forests, lakes, and rocks.

海陆相接的土地。 每年有超过两百万人游览阿卡迪亚国家公园。 这座公园面积不大，景色却十分丰富： 美丽的海岸线、岛屿、森林、湖泊还有岩石。

Here, mountains rise from the sea. At 1 ,530 feet, 466 meters, Cadillac Mountain is the tallest. Because of its amazing view, it's also the most crowded. Acadia has more than 40 miles, 64 kilometers, of coastline. During low tides, the ocean leaves behind pools of water. Inside these pools live sea stars, sea cucumbers, hot pink seaweed, and more.

在这里，山脉从海洋中拔地而起。 凯迪拉克山高1530英尺（约466米），是其中最高的山峰。 因为风景绝美，这里也是游客最多的地方。 阿卡迪亚拥有超过40英里（约64公里）的海岸线。 退潮时，海水会留下一个个小水潭。 这些水潭里住着海星、海参、亮粉色的海藻，还有很多其他生物。

Tide pools come and go, just like tides. Try to visit the tide pools when the tide is going out. You'll have more time to explore them.

潮池随潮汐涨落时隐时现。 尽量趁退潮的时候去看潮池哦。 这样你就有更多时间探索它们啦。

Wildlife. Acadia is one of the best bird watching spots in the country. 338 kinds of birds have been seen there. Each autumn, thousands of raptors fly over Acadia as they migrate from Canada for the winter.

野生动物。 阿卡迪亚是全美最棒的观鸟地点之一。 人们已经在那里观测到338种鸟类。 每年秋天，成千上万的猛禽从阿卡迪亚上空飞过，它们要从加拿大迁徙去南方过冬。
