My own favorite country,perhaps because I knew it as a boy,is that of the Yorkshire Dales.For variety of landscape,these Dales cannot be matched on this island or anywhere else. A day's walk among them will give you almost everything fit to be seen on this earth. Within a few hours, you will enjoyed the green valleys,with their rivers,fine old bridges,pleasant villages,hanging woods,smooth fields;then the moorland slopes,with rushing streams,stone walks,salty winds,white farmhouse;and then the lonely heights,which seem to be miles above the ordinary world,and moorland tracks as remote,it seems,as trails in Mongolia.Yet less than an hour in a fast motor will bring you to the middle of a manufacturing town.
【提示】moorland 荒野,荒地,沼泽地; remote 遥远的; track 小道,足迹,踪迹;
dale 山谷; landscape 风景,景观; slope 斜坡

大概是因为我小时候就知道的原因,我最爱的乡村是约克郡山谷。由于风景的多样,这座岛屿以及岛上其他任何的地方都不能和这些山谷相媲美。在山谷中走上一天,你将会看到这世上几乎所有的一切。在这几个小时中,你将会欣赏到碧绿的山谷,以及山谷中的小河、美丽的古桥、宜人的村庄、茂密的森林、平坦的田野;然后是荒野的斜坡和上面奔腾的小溪、石路、泛着咸味的海风、白色的农舍;然后是孤独的高地,高地似乎比地面要高好几英里。而荒野的小道,似乎像蒙古小道那样遥远。但骑高速摩托不到一个小时就可以把你带到工业城镇的中心。
