Welcome to the Great Bear Rainforest in Canada! We will walk through the forest today. It's sunny now, but please take a raincoat. I'm sure it will rain later. The trees in a rainforest can make their own rain.
欢迎来到加拿大的大熊雨林！今天我们将穿过森林。现在是晴天，但请带上雨衣。我确信稍后会下雨。雨林中的树木可以自己制造雨水。
How Well, look up way, way, up and you will see clouds at the top of these trees. Water comes into the air from the leaves, and makes clouds. It then rains on the forest. This makes other plants very happy.
怎么做？好吧，抬头看看，你会看到这些树顶上的云。水从叶子进入空气，形成云。然后在森林上空下雨。这让其他植物非常开心。
These trees can live for thousands of years. They give animals somewhere to live and food to eat...
这些树可以活数千年。它们给动物提供了居住和食物的地方……
Now we see plants are so important. They influence the climate, the animals, and the people.
