台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
You can see rivers, bodies of water, trees and parks, the stations were all crammed together at the center of the map, and out in the periphery, there were some that couldn't even fit on the map. So the map was geographically accurate, but maybe not so useful.
你可以看到很多河川、水域、树木、公园,还有车站全都挤在整张地图的中央位置。而在外围,还有标示着其他根本挤不进地图里的东西。也就是说,虽然就地理上而言,这张地图算是正确的,但却可能不太实用。
