在南部非洲深处汹涌的赞比西河上,有一令人叹为观止的雄伟瀑布。远在20英里之外,你就能看见它的水雾。这就是维多利亚瀑布。世界各地寻险探奇的人们都急于抓住机会,亲身感受它的威力。维多利亚瀑布在汛期的水流可暴涨至5亿立方米以上。准确地说,每分钟就有超过1.3亿加仑的水流倾泻到320多英尺之下的峡谷深处。它的高度是尼亚加拉瀑布的2倍,落下的水量是科罗拉多河的7倍。这个神秘的奇观附近一直荒无人烟,直到12世纪,穆库尼酋长才与他的部落在此安家。
On the raging Zambezi River in southern Africa, there is a majestic majestic waterfall. As far as 20 miles away, you can see its mist. This is Victoria Falls. People around the world are eager to seize the opportunity to experience its power. The water flow of Victoria Falls during the flood season can soar to more than 500 million cubic meters. Precisely, there are more than 130 million gallons of water poured into the canyon below 320 feet per minute. Its height is twice that of Niagara Falls, and the amount of water that falls is seven times that of the Colorado River. This mysterious spectacle has remained untouched until the 12th century when Mukhuni’s chiefs settled here with his tribe.
