十二. Greenland and Iceland

　　Greenland is the largest island on earth. It is in the north of Europe. Near Greenland is another island. It is small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is green and warm? Do you think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are wrong. Not many people live on the big island of Greenland. There are more people in your hometown than in all of Greenland. That is because Greenland is not green. Greenland is white. Most of Greenland is covered with lots of ice. The ice covering Greenland is higher than some of the world's buildings. What about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it is not. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice asGreenland. Iceland has a Lot of hot springs(溫泉). They give out hot water and steam (蒸汽). So it is not as cold as Greenland. And there are a lot more people who live in Iceland.

　　格林蘭島與冰島

　　格林蘭島是世界上(on earth)最大的島嶼(largest island)。它位于歐洲(Europe)的北部(north)。在格林蘭島的附近有另外一個島。這個島很小。它的名字叫冰島。你認為格林蘭島是綠色(green)、溫暖的(warm)嗎？你認為冰島是冰(ice)覆蓋的白色(white)島嶼嗎？如果你這樣想，你就錯了。格林蘭島上沒有很多人居住。你家鄉(hometown)的人會比(than)整個格林蘭島的居民都多。那是因為格林蘭島不是綠色的，它是白色的。格林蘭島的大部分(most)覆蓋著(be covered with)很多冰。覆蓋格林蘭島的冰比這個世界上的一些建筑物(building)還要高。冰島怎樣呢(what about Iceland)?它比格林蘭島還要冷(cold)嗎？不，不是的。冰島有冰，但不像格林蘭島那么多的冰(not so much ice as Greenland)。冰島有很多溫泉。這些溫泉放出(give out)熱水和蒸汽，因此冰島不像格林蘭島那樣冷(not as cold as Greenland)。而且冰島的居民遠遠多于格林蘭島。
