　　Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

　　大棱镜彩泉，美国怀俄明州黄石公园

　　It looks like a bubbling volcano ready to blow but is in fact the third largest hot spring in the world, behind only after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica.

　　它看起来就像随时都会喷发的火山，但事实上这是世界上第三大温泉，仅次于新西兰的煎锅湖和多米尼加的沸湖。

　　Found in the Midway Geyser Basin at Yellowstone, it is also the biggest hot spring in the United States, but it's not size that makes it so remarkable.

　　这个温泉位于黄石国家公园中的“中间歇泉盆地”，也是美国最大的温泉。

　　The bright coloration of the spring is it's real point of marvel, with its shades of red, orange, yellow, green and blue.

　　但大棱镜彩泉之所以如此著名，并非其规模，而是其鲜艳的色彩。

　　The unique park has a 40-mile-long slush of molten rock and crystal under the nation's first national park.

　　黄石国家公园地下有60多公里长的熔融岩石和水晶泥。

　　Instead of a cone with a hole, the caldera is an interconnected maze of gas and water covering almost 60 miles of Wyoming's northwest corner, along with parts of Montana and Idaho.More than 10,000 mud pots, boiling rivers and geysers act as nature's pressure-release valves, keeping the heated monster from exploding.

　　但是这里没有孔锥，火山口是一个互相连通的迷宫，超过10000个泥盆、沸水河以及喷泉充当天然的压力释放阀，可确保大棱镜彩泉持续喷水。
