可以将 “crater” 与 “create”(创造)联系起来,想象”创造出的凹陷”。
When we visited the volcano, standing at the edge of the crater was both amazing and terrifying. The crater was so deep and wide, and you could see steam rising from it. It made me realize how powerful nature is and how small we are in comparison.
当我们访问火山时,站在火山口边缘既令人惊叹又令人恐惧。火山口如此深和宽,你可以看到蒸汽从中升起。这让我意识到自然有多强大,相比之下我们有多小。
