- so the Maya relied on the cenotes - the flooded entrances to the water-filled caves.
因此玛雅文化完全依赖于沼穴 ——地下水洞的入口 - These flooded shafts are the region's only source of open fresh water.
这些水潭是整个地区 唯一的露天淡水资源 - The cenotes are, in effect, gigantic fresh water wells.
沼穴于是成了巨大的淡水井 - Away from the life-giving rays of sunshine
这里远离给予生命的阳光 - one might not expect to find plants.
似乎不太可能会有植物 - But in the darkness of the cave tunnels
但是在黑暗的洞穴通道内 - roots of giant tropical trees have pushed their way through cracks in the limestone
大型热带树木的根系 却已穿透石灰岩裂缝
Away from the life-giving rays of sunshine 这里远离给予生命的阳光
