在著名的加利福尼亚州(简称加州)红杉林前,来自世界各地的观光客看着一棵棵高耸入云,如沉默巨人一般的红杉,有的瞠目结舌,有的惊呼出声。“加州红杉是目前世界上最高大的植物,最高的有90米,相当于30层楼的高度。”导游介绍说。“能长得这么高,那它们的根一定很深吧?”一位观光客问。“不!加州红杉是浅根型植物,它们的根只是浅浅地浮在地面而已。”导游回答。“既然这样,红杉会不会被突如其来的狂风暴雨轻易连根拔起、一举摧毁呢?”另一个观光客问。“当然不会,因为在加州红杉根的世界里,有一个神奇的奥秘。”

California sequoia is a shallow rooted plant, their roots are only shallow floating on the ground only.” Guide answered. “In this case, Sequoia will be easily uprooted by sudden storm, in one fell swoop?” Another tourist asked. “Of course not, because there’s a magical mystery in California’s Sequoia world.” "
