When I visited the Grand Canyon, I was amazed by the massive chasm - it was so deep and wide that it was hard to comprehend. Standing at the edge, I felt small and insignificant. It made me think about the chasms we create between people through misunderstanding and lack of communication.

当我参观大峡谷时,我对巨大的裂谷感到惊叹——它如此深和宽,以至于很难理解。站在边缘,我感到渺小和微不足道。这让我思考我们通过误解和缺乏沟通在人们之间创造的裂谷。
