红杉

Have you ever visited a redwood forest?

您有没有去过红杉林？

I’ve heard that many redwood trees are thousands of years old.

我听说许多红杉都有几千年的树龄。

The sapwood of the Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is thin with a light yellow tinge.

西部红杉(侧柏木)是较薄，有浅黄色。

We stand in awe of the centuried Redwoods of the Pacific coast and the twisted, giant Saguaros of the high desert, but compared to the Chaparral bush they are mere infants.

通常，一提起太平洋沿岸的古老的红杉和沙中扭曲高大的仙人掌人们往往会产生敬畏的感觉。然而与矮橡树灌木林相比，这些都是微不足道的。
