- In the treetops, the broad leaves rapidly expand to their full size to make the most of summer while it lasts.
在树梢 树叶很快生长开来并保持这个状态一直到夏末
- Then, after a few months, the days begin to shorten again
几个月后,白昼又开始缩短
- and the trees must shut down and shed their leaves in preparation for the cold dark time ahead.

- Great tracts of North America flush red as the season progresses.
随着季节的变换 北美的大片地域万山红遍,层林尽染
- The effect is so spectacular and so extensive
这种壮观的景象发生的地域之广
- that it can be seen from space.
甚至可以在太空中看到
- The threat of winter frost is not the only reason for trees to shed leaves.
寒冬的威胁不是树木落叶的唯一原因
