美國有50個洲，每個洲的風光都不一樣，下面出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)帶來美國五十州的風光，現(xiàn)在就一起來看看美國各個州的顏值大比拼。Here we go!
40. Nebraska 內(nèi)布拉斯加州
Sleep on Nebraska's subtle beauty if you want, but its big skies and rolling hills have a thoroughly pleasant and peaceful charm. As impressive as Toadstool Geologic Park (Nebraska's Badlands!) and Chimney Rock are, the Cornhusker State doesn't have the spectacular vistas of its neighbors to the west. What it does have is open spaces, the Platte River, and a complex and important ecosystem where literally millions of birds -- including 80% of the world's sandhill cranes -- visit every spring.
簡稱NE，是位于美國中部農(nóng)業(yè)領(lǐng)先的一個州，州內(nèi)大多數(shù)地區(qū)最多的是來自德國的后人。美國大部分農(nóng)業(yè)州都以玉米為重點，Nebraska也不例外。不過幸好還有一個 Toadstool Geologic Park 毒蕈地質(zhì)公園 位于內(nèi)布拉斯加州西北角，它因其標志性的蘑菇狀砂巖地層而得名。近距離地觀察可以看見數(shù)百萬年前在這里生活過的生物的化石遺跡，復(fù)雜而重要的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)也是其一大亮點。和大部分美村一樣，Nebraska也是美國人最喜歡吐槽的一個州，《生活大爆炸》里的Penny就來自Nebraska的一個小農(nóng)場，這個“平凡的出生“也是劇中一大吐槽點。
39. Georgia 喬治亞州
If you live in Florida, the most beautiful sight you'll ever see is when you cross the state line into Georgia and see gas prices drop a buck a gallon. Past that? There ain't much. Aside from the quaint Southernness of trees draped in Spanish moss in the southern part of the state, the scenic highlight is the "mountains" north of Atlanta. Which seem downright towering when you've been driving through Florida, but still don't measure up to the Smokies a few hours down the road.
簡稱GA，首府是美國第九大都市區(qū)Atlanta 亞特蘭大，喬州也以桃子州或南方帝國之州的昵稱聞名。位于喬州的佐治亞理工學(xué)院(Georgia Institute of Technology)是美國一所綜合性公立大學(xué)，與麻省理工學(xué)院及加州理工學(xué)院并稱為美國三大理工學(xué)院，有南方MIT之稱。著名私立大學(xué)Emory University 埃默里大學(xué) 和著名女校Wesleyan College威斯里安女子學(xué)院(宋靄齡、宋慶齡都畢業(yè)于此)。喬治亞州的風景真是一言難盡，大概最讓人眼前一亮的是從弗羅里達州進入喬州那一瞬間看到的價格差巨大的油價吧。
38. North Dakota 北達科他州
For some reason -- maybe some combination of fracking, the Coen brothers, and January -- the words "North Dakota" have become synonymous with "frozen wasteland." Which isn't completely inaccurate when discussing some parts of this state, but lest we forget it's also home to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, a breathtaking mix of prairies, mesas, and mountain views dotted with buffalo. And kind of like the cute girl with the smoke-show older sister, North Dakota doesn't get proper credit when compared to its beautiful sibling to the south.
簡稱北達州 ND，位于美國中西部，是大草原里最北的一州。北達州的Theodore Roosevelt National Park以西奧多·羅斯福總統(tǒng)名字命名，向這位偉大的總統(tǒng)和他身為自然資源保護主義者精神的致敬。從大約5500萬年前的古新世(恐龍滅絕后)開始，在這里的大量被腐蝕的原木和樹樁之間，就能看到石化樹，是尋找遠古冰凍森林的最好地方。
37. Delaware 特拉華州
You want to surprise someone? Send them a postcard from Delaware. "I never knew Delaware was that pretty," they'll say, looking at a silhouette of dune grasses framed by an ocean sunset. Actually, no one does, because Delaware's not large enough to hold more than three cars at a time. But if you're lucky enough to be in one of those three cars, you too can take in the rolling rural countrysides and the not-half-bad beach views and say, "Delaware. Hi. I'm in Delaware."
簡稱DE，是最早加入美國聯(lián)邦的州，所以又有“第一州”這個稱呼;也是美國第二小的州份，僅略大于羅得島州(僅有的兩個小于一萬平方公里的微型州份)。對于美國這樣一個面積超大的國家，特拉華州的迷你體型自然是一大吐槽點，Thrillist戲稱其為“只能裝下三輛車的州“。
36. Nevada 內(nèi)華達州
Most people know this as Las Vegas plus the let's-floor-it portion of a drive to California. And, yes, the bulk of this state is so dusty and unremarkable that the military used to test nukes here without anyone really caring. But the highlights range from staggering to obscure. Red Rock Canyon, a mere Uber ride from the Vegas Strip, is a jaw-dropping haven of striated limestone and sandstone. The Ruby Valley is a foxy little patch of mountains that'll break up any trip across I-80. The swirling cream-and-crimson rock formations of Valley of Fire State Park look like Dr. Seuss drew them. And of course there's Lake Tahoe. Most of which is in California, but, hey, bright side, you made it.
內(nèi)華達有啥?當然是世界級銷金窟Las Vegas+緊挨加州這樣優(yōu)越的地理位置啊!簡稱NV，內(nèi)華達州以其發(fā)達的賭博業(yè)而著稱。Nevada名字來源于西班牙語，意思是“被雪覆蓋”，原本是用來形容該州西部的內(nèi)華達山的寒冷。內(nèi)華達州是美國最干燥的一個州，全州大部分地區(qū)都是白雪覆蓋的高山、峽谷和沙漠。雖然曾經(jīng)美國人嫌棄這個州荒涼還在這里做各種核武器測試，但好歹內(nèi)華達還有個六億年前曾是海底世界、經(jīng)過幾次地殼變動形成今天的紅石奇觀的Red Rock Valley 紅石峽谷，位于拉斯維加斯市中心西面20哩遠，去Vegas旅游的旁友不妨也去體驗一下這個世界級景觀。還有Ruby Valley 拉莫伊爾峽谷(Ruby Mountains 魯比山脈 中最大的峽谷。地表景觀由以前冰河時代的冰川侵蝕而形成)、Valley of Fire State Park 火焰谷州立公園(位于Vegas東北90公里處，是內(nèi)華達州最古老的國家公園，山谷中大面積露出地表的中生代時期的紅色砂巖會在陽光下折射出像烈火般的紅色，遠遠望去就像火燒山谷)、還有少不了的Lake Tahoe 太浩湖(位于加利福尼亞州和內(nèi)華達州邊界上，是北美最大的高山湖泊，也是美國第二深的湖泊。蓄水量全世界排名第26位)，也是很值得一去了。
End of today. See you next time & Have a nice day!
