英语自学网

Most of the land sits in warm waters, but travel south and the character of the islands change. New Zealand is not tropical but temperate. The ocean currents which cool New Zealand's waters occasionally bring icebergs. Starting in the Antarctic, they've drifted for nearly eight months, on the way, passing the most southerly outpost in the South Pacific. Where New Zealand's temperate seas merge with the icy waters of the Southern Ocean, lies a solitary piece of land 85 miles of wave-lashed coastline. It looks desolate, but it's not deserted. At certain times of year, there's more life here than on any other island in the Pacific.大部分岛屿座落在暖水海洋里，但遍阅南部岛屿的特色是不同的。新西兰气候温和而不炎热，偶尔带来的冰山的洋流，使得新西兰成为冷海域。从南极起，它们漂泊了近8个月，途中经过南太平洋最南端的边远居民点。新西兰温和的大海融合了南大洋的寒冷海水，有一块陆地单独座落在那，有着85英里的海岸线被海浪抽打着，看上去无人但并不荒芜。一年中某些时段这里比太平洋其它任何岛屿都有更多的生命存在。
