玻利维亚乌尤尼旅游英语_北京外宾旅游攻略！

乌尤尼盐湖（Salar de Uyuni)是世界上最大的盐湖，面积超过10000平方公里，它位于玻利维亚西南部波托西省(Potosi Department)，靠近安第斯山脉的顶峰，海拔3656米。

Salar Uyuni

Salar在西班牙语中的意思是盐滩。Uyuni起源于艾马拉语(the Aymara language)，意为 a pen (动物围栏)。艾马拉语（Aymara），或译艾玛拉语，是一种由住在安地斯山脉的艾马拉人的语言，为玻利维亚的官方语言之一。

现在Uyuni (乌尤尼）一词是指游客参观乌尤尼盐湖的门户，即同名乌尤尼镇。 Salar de Uyuni 可以粗略地翻译为带有(动物）围栏的盐沼，浅滩，或盐湖。

Salar Uyuni 翻译成英文为：Uyuni Salt Flat （乌尤尼盐滩），中文一般翻译成：乌尤尼盐湖。其实，用flat 更贴切，湖面很浅；旱季，湖水干枯，满眼望去，白色茫茫。

Uyuni （乌尤尼）小镇是游客参观盐湖的进出的大本营。乌尤尼盐湖（Salar de Uyuni) 位于乌尤尼镇西北方向。

乌尤尼盐湖（Salar de Uyuni) 位于乌尤尼镇（Uyuni）西北方向。

从玻利维亚首都拉巴斯（La Paz）乘坐飞机或汽车可以抵达乌尤尼镇。乌尤尼镇位于玻利维亚首都拉巴斯（La Paz）以南大约660公里处。

人们来到这里，湛蓝的天与一望无际的洁白盐粒在天边交汇，尤其在雨季，美丽倒影，让人感受到大自然的纯净。故有“天空之境”、“天空之城”的美称。

Strike out on the salt of the earth at Salar de Uyuni

Bolivia// Imagine this: you're standing in the middle of the sky. Clouds above. Clouds below. Blue, blue , blue all around. That's what it's like at Salar de Uyuni, the world's biggest salt lake, after rain. The thin layer of water turns the utterly flat salt surface into a vast mirror. The horizon disappears and you seem to float. That's one of the brain-bending experience you'll have visiting these 10,582 sq km of salt, high in the Bolivian altiplano （/ˌaltiˈplänō/ 南美洲中部的高原). When the lake's dry, the white cracked immensity feels like something from Mad Max (疯狂麦克斯)- a desolate, sun-scorched post-apocalyptic [əˌpɑːkəˈlɪptɪk] landscape (末日之后的景观）.

In the dry season you can visit the lake's two island - Incanhuasi and Isla del Pescado. Both are craggy husks of land sprouting with cacti ( land, increasingly, selfie-taking visitors). See too the geyser（[ˈɡaɪzər ] 间歇泉） fields, hellscapes (地狱场景）of boiling mud and sulphur (硫磺)steam. Several of the eerie （怪异的） high-altitude lakes, turned lurid aquamarine （[ˌɑːkwəməˈriːn]浅蓝色;）from high mineral content, are home to flocks of flamingos. Train your camera on herds of vicuna ( a non-domesticated relative of the llama ) and the occasional lone culpeo ( 山狐，南美洲大陆内体型第二大的犬科动物，仅次于鬃狼).

At the edge of the lake, the settlement of Colchani (科尔查尼) is a centre of salt mining, producing some 20,000 tons per year. The place to sleep is the Palacio de Sal (萨尔宫殿酒店), made, obviously, of salt. Walls, floors, ceilings and furniture are made from more than a million blocks of salt - no licking allowed ( seriously, that's a rule).
