(单词翻译)

This, Jakobshavn Isbrae, is the fastest flowing glacier1 on our planet, moving as much as 14 meters a day. As it advances, it destroys everything in its pass, even cutting its way through Greenland's great mountain ranges on its drive downwards2 towards the sea. When speeded up, these solid rivers of ice seem to flow, just like liquid rivers. This is the Titanic3 force that cuts down mountains and levels the surface of continents. The ice is now entering the last stage of its descent. As it gains speed, huge crevasses4 open that extend out its very core. It reaches the ocean and millions of tons of ice have lost the support of their rocky bed. Something must give. This ice falls are an ominous5 sign of what is about to happen, a rupture6 deep within the glacier.

Jakobshavn Isbrae是在我们星球上流动最快的冰川,移动速度一天可以达到14米。因为它的提前,它摧毁经过的一切,甚至在朝向大海时也切断了流经格陵兰伟大的山脉。当加速时,这些固体冰川看起来似乎流动,就像液体的河流一样。这是泰坦尼克号的力量,切割山脉及减少大陆的表面。冰现在正进入最后阶段。因为它获得速度,巨大的自身打开并延伸至中心。它到达海洋,数百万吨的冰已经失去了岩床的支持上。一定要献出某些东西方才罢休。这个冰瀑布是一种即将发生不祥的暗号,破裂正在冰川深处开始。
