When the Colorado plateau was uplifted millions of years ago, it gave the water more energy to cut back through the canyon and wear away the rocks.

当几百万年前，罗拉多高原升起使穿越峡谷的流更加凶猛冲击更多的岩石。

The cliffs of the Grand Canyon, which stand over 1,800 meters tall, were carved by the Colorado River, which flows across the 336,000-kilometer Colorado Plateau in the southwestern United States.

大峡谷悬崖高1800多，罗拉多冲刷而成，该贯穿美西南部336000平方公里的罗拉多高原。
