What is a forest?
什么是森林？
A forest is a large area of land, so thickly covered by trees that little light reaches the ground. Different types of forest grow in different parts of the world. Forests provide food and shelter for many different animals.
森林是一大片土地，树木覆盖得很厚，几乎没有光线照射到地面。世界不同地区生长着不同类型的森林。森林为许多不同的动物提供食物和庇护所。

Coniferous forests
针叶林
Most conifers are tough trees that can cope with extreme weather conditions.
大多数针叶树都是坚硬的树木，能够应对极端天气条件。
Their hard, needle-like leaves do not dry out as easily as the wide leaves of broad-leaved trees, so they do well in hot, dry climates, such as around the Mediterranean.
它们坚硬的针状叶子不像阔叶树的阔叶那样容易干枯，因此它们在炎热干燥的气候条件下，如地中海周围，生长得很好。
They can also withstand cold, icy winters – the largest coniferous forests are in Russia and Canada.
它们还可以抵御寒冷、冰冷的冬天——俄罗斯和加拿大是最大的针叶林。
Needle leaves Many conifers, such as pine trees, have leaves that are shaped like needles. However, some conifers have leaves that are strap-like or scale-like. Almost all are thick, tough, and resinous.
针叶许多针叶树，如松树，有针叶形状。然而，有些针叶树的叶子呈带状或鳞片状。几乎所有的都是厚的、坚韧的、含树脂的。

Coniferous forest animals
针叶林动物
Many animals make their home in coniferous forests, especially in winter, when the trees provide shelter from snow.
许多动物在针叶林中安家，尤其是在冬季，树木为它们提供了避雪的庇护所。
Some animals would not be able to live anywhere else, because they only eat things that live and grow in a coniferous forest.
有些动物不能在其他地方生活，因为它们只吃在针叶林中生活和生长的东西。

Forest detective
森林侦探
The next time you are out in a forest, see how many different things you can find.
下次你到森林里去，看看你能找到多少不同的东西。
Start by looking carefully at your surroundings – binoculars and a magnifying glass can help here. Why not take a notebook and pencil along to write down any important observations?
从仔细观察你周围的环境开始——双筒望远镜和放大镜可以帮助你。为什么不带一个笔记本和铅笔来写下任何重要的观察结果呢？
