（单词翻译）
At the peak of the dry season in the Kalahari, water arrives in the Okavango. It fell as rain a thousand miles away in the highlands of Angola and has taken nearly five months to reach here. The water drives out insects from the parched1 ground which are snapped up by plovers2. Catfish3 travelling with the flood collect any drowning creatures the birds have missed. It’s a seasonal4 feast for animals of all kinds.
Birds are the first to arrive in any numbers, wattled cranes, then black
storks5. Behind the birds come
buffalo6. After weeks of marching, their
trek7 is coming to an end. As the water sweeps into the Okavango, a vast area of the Kalahari has transformed into a fertile paradise. Nowhere on our planet is the life-giving power of water so clearly demonstrated. The Okavango becomes crisscrossed with trails as animals move into its heart. The new arrivals open up paths like
arteries8 along which water flows, extending the reach of the flood.
