英文原文

The most dramatic of these is the Pacific 'ring of fire' where there have been the most violent explosions —Mount Pinatubo near Manila, Mount St Helen's in the Rockies and El Chichón in Mexico about a decade ago, not to mention world-shaking blasts like Krakatoa in the Sunda Straits in 1883.

中文翻译

知识点小结

1.句子比较长，同学们一看到这么长的句子可能就懵了。大家在读文章的时候要注意详略得当，有些部分可以跳读，比如一些已知目的的例子、重复的内容和进一步解释的内容。这个句子其实核心部分是破折号前面的部分，破折号后面是在举例子，虽然有很多生词，我们知道它们是一些火山喷发就足够了。

2.where在这里引导的是一个定语从句。where也可以引导地点状语从句。怎么区分呢?引导定语从句时where的先行词是一个地点名词。这里的Pacific ‘ring of fire’是一个地点名词，所以从句是一个定语从句。

3.not to mention的意思是“更不必说，不必提及”，前后为并列关系，多在肯定句中使用。与它意思相同的还有一个词组let alone，但let alone多用于否定句中，表示递进关系，如：She can't afford a hamburger，let alone a birthday cake.(她连一个汉堡都*不起，更不用说*个生日蛋糕了。)

这其中最显著的例子就是曾经发生过最猛烈的喷发的“太平洋火圈”——马尼拉的皮纳图博火山，落基山脉的圣海伦斯火山，以及大约10年前墨西哥的埃尔奇琼火山，更不要提举世震惊的大喷发，如1883年巽他海峡的喀拉喀托火山喷发。

The biggest eruptions are deep on the mid-ocean floor, where new lava is forcing the continents apart and widening the Atlantic by perhaps five centimeters a year. Look at maps of volcanoes, earthquakes and island chains like the Philippines and Japan, and you can see the rough outlines of what are called tectonic plates —the plates which make up the earth's crust and mantel. The most dramatic of these is the Pacific 'ring of fire' where there have been the most violent explosions-Mount Pinatubo near Manila, Mount St Helen's in the Rockies and EI Chichón in Mexico about a decade ago, not to mention world-shaking blasts like Krakatoa in the Sunda Straits in 1883.
