1.But some orchids that grow naturally are in danger of disappearing from Earth.

in danger of有…的危险

例句:This kind of animal is in danger of becoming extinct.
      这种动物有灭绝的危险。

2.Not all orchids grow from the ground. Some are "air plants" that grow on trees.

Not all部分否定

all,every,both,always等用于否定结构时不是全部被否定,而是表示其中的一部分被否定。而且英语多半将not置于谓语中。

例如:

All is not a gold that glitters.(即Not all that glitters is gold.)
闪闪发光物,未必尽黄金。

Every one cannot write novels.(即Not every one can write novels.)
不是所有的人都能写小说。

I don’t like both of the novels.(即I like only one of the two novels.)
这两本小说我不是都喜欢。
