    黄石公园是美国第一个（1872年建立）且最有名的国家公园，它是美国西北部落基山脉中的一个大原野，比美国最小的州还要大（四个深圳加起来也不如它大）。

   黄石公园有许多不同的独特风景，虽然上百万人参观这座公园，但它仍然未变——还是一片原野。黄石河谷有美丽多彩的岩石和三个大瀑布。清晨或傍晚，游客可以看到大的像鹿一样的动物，水牛沿着黄石河岸吃草。黄石公园的高山覆盖着常绿森林。

   黄石公园有很多带温泉的地区，这是来自地球中心的地热引起的，忠实泉是最有名的，每隔70分钟，它喷出150英尺(约46米)高的热水。

   在这，温泉水沿着石头流入深深的池子，它看起来更像一个美丽的白色蛋糕。

   当你参观黄石公园，何不像牛仔那样？呆在一个古老的西方乡村旅馆，在户外享受典型的牛仔食物，你可以沿着跑道、小路骑马。

   黄石公园有1000英里（约1600公里，深圳北至广州南高铁是102公里）的小径，如果你喜欢刺激，可以坐小船快达斯内克河或在悠闲的夏天在湖边、蓝山湖钓鱼。

   冬天，黄石公园覆盖着厚厚的雪，游客仍然来滑冰，伴随雪地的蒸汽和遍地大雪，黄石公园的温泉看起来更漂亮。（本文深圳家教·龙华家教谭老师亲笔翻译并录入）
