Here in South America araucaria trees or monkey puzzles are like the conifers of the Taiga. 这是南美洲, 绰号叫“猴子谜”的南洋杉看上去和极地针叶林没什么两样
These are as inedible as those in the Taiga so animals are still scarce, 针叶依然如北极针叶林那样难吃 所以动物仍然稀少
not for one month as it does in the Taiga but for half the year. 不是北极的一个月,而是半年
The Taiga circles the globe and contains a third of all the trees on Earth. 针叶林环球分布 占全球所有树木总量的三分之一
