英语自学网

Some of the largest waves in the world break on South Pacific islands. Their birth sums up the scale of this ocean. The storm swell that made these waves has travelled 3,000 miles to reach this shallow reef. These distances proved a great challenge for animal castaways, but when they found new land, many evolved into new species. Human colonisers followed similar routes,and the ocean that isolated them from the rest of the world became central to their culture. The big waves were an inspiration, and riding them has been a tradition here for more than 1,500 years.它们的诞生能总结出这片海洋的规模，被风暴增强的海浪奔袭3000里，到达这里的浅海暗礁，对那些流浪的动物来说是直接的大考验。当它们找到新陆地时，许多逐渐发展成新品种。人类开拓者追随相似的路线，与世隔绝的他们把海洋变成了他们文明的中心。大海浪是灵感，带着他们的传统跨越了1500年。
