乘飛機的好處在於，我可以隨心所欲地睡覺，從起飛一直睡到着陸。只是腦袋時不時會撞到前排座位，將我從美夢中驚醒，中斷與玉兔共度良辰美景。 

      One thing good about the plane flights was that I could sleep all the time as much as I wanted between takeoff and landing. I bonked my head against the seat in front, which disrupted my wonderful dream of dancing with bunnies.

      When the full blast of heat like sauna from the outside started to melt me at Iguazu International Airport of Argentina (IGR), mom quickly found a taxi to take us straight to the Sheraton Iguazu Resort & Spa in Iguazu National Park. The first touch of cool air made me feel alive. I expected for the rest of the day we would stay in the cozy hotel room directly facing the "Big Water" from Iguazu to Parana River and relaxed in the swimming pool down my balcony. But I was so wrong that I had to go out when mom read the news about the local weather forecast that it would have a stormy rain tomorrow.

      剛到阿根廷伊瓜蘇市，外面熱浪襲來，機場被烤得像蒸籠似的，快要把我熔化了。媽媽趕忙打的，我們急速駛向位於伊瓜蘇國家公園境內的喜來登伊瓜蘇溫泉度假村。一鑽進配備空調冷氣的地方，我才重新振作起來。這時，我開始憧憬未來：辦完酒店登記手續之後，先呆在房間好好飽覽對面從伊瓜蘇河流向巴拉那河的“大水”，再去涼台下面的室外游泳池消停一陣。誰知媽媽帶回的天氣預報攪亂了我的如意算盤，明天恐怕陰雨連綿。因此，我們不得不抓緊今天所有剩餘的時間，立刻遊覽阿根廷國境內的伊瓜蘇大瀑布。

      Before I knew it, I was hulled into a jungle with a lot of similarities to the Amazon Rainforest in South Hemisphere. For an example, both were hot in January and extremely humid in mid-summer right now. Just as I started to complain, I hopped on the open-air Rainforest Ecological Train and marched in natural wonderland where hosted many endangered species of flora and fauna.

      轉眼間，我便消失在公園密林深處。這裡很像亞馬遜熱帶雨林，南半球一月仲夏悶熱至極。尚未來得及痛發牢騷抱怨天氣，我已經坐上開放式熱帶雨林生態火車，浩浩蕩蕩開進珍稀動植物自然王國。

      When everyone was aboard, I heard buzzing sound from pell-mell directions. I looked around and found myself staring at a wasp with a pair of black eyes. That was my first mistake. Mom packed 2 bottles of anti-bug spray from Pennsylvania and I didn't use it. So in the matter of minutes, I was pelted by the little annoying pest. Fortunately I forgot all my worries when my eyes locked on to the world's widest waterfalls. At the end of footbridge over the upper circuit of the canyon, I took a close look at such a phenomenal flow of water from "Devil's Throat". I was stunned by the grandeur of panoramic views.

    車廂內等乘客各就各位，耳邊傳來“嗡嗡嗡”的轟鳴聲，我舉目張望，發現一隻黃蜂正張大兩隻黑眼珠子，賊頭賊腦地盯住自己不放，我真後悔沒有隨身把媽媽從賓州老家買來的防蟲噴霧劑帶上。說時遲，那時快，可惡的黃蜂主動向我發起攻擊，好在本人的注意力被世界最寬的瀑布群吸引了過去。我站在峽谷頂部天橋末端，“魔鬼喉”盡收眼底。大水氣勢磅礴，飛流以雷霆萬鈞之勢，陡然從我身邊跳入峽谷。

      The Iguazu Falls extended over 1.7 miles/2.7 km in a semi-circular or horseshoe shape on the border between Argentina and Brazil. Nearly 80% of falls ran into Argentina. It made me think that the world had an edge. Of the 275 discrete falls, Devil's Throat" stood out at 269 feet/82 meters in height and became the tallest waterfall in the park. Early in 1984, Argentine Iguazu NP was declared as UNESCO Heritage Site.

      伊瓜蘇大瀑布位於阿根廷和巴西兩國之間，呈半圓即馬蹄形，幅度橫跨1.7英里／2.7公里，將近80%的瀑布歸阿根廷所有。觸景生情，我突然感到地球不再無邊無際。這一帶大大小小的瀑布總計有275個，“魔鬼喉”以269英尺／82米的高度名列榜首。早在1984年，阿根廷伊瓜蘇國家公園就被聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》視作自然遺產。

      Without any other things on my priority list after the upper circuit, I followed the twisting catwalks that led to the lower falls. Since this trail came closer to the falls, the water made the metal walkways as slippery as ice. Even though I almost fell and broke bone, I was amazed to see the falls on the ground level. The waterfalls seemed to have grown arms of ice hanging down from the ledge. Even better was the mist equal to a nice shower to cool off my body.

      游完公園上游環線後，既然沒有其它什麼重要事情要做，我索性沿峽谷底部羊腸小道進一步包抄瀑布群。正因為這條路十分接近瀑布，所以用金屬修建的通道表面濕得痛快，路滑得猶如走在毫無阻力的冰塊上一樣。雖說我差點跌倒，險些傷筋動骨，但還是由衷地慶幸自己身臨其境，“無限風光在險峰”，近距離觀賞跌宕起伏的瀑布群宛如冰柱垂掛懸崖，而且飛流狂瀉所散發的水滴水霧毫不含糊地打濕了衣襟，渾身上下好像澆過水洗了澡，頓時讓我涼爽不已。

      On the way, I took VIP seats up front to watch capuchin monkeys wrestling, banded iguanas rambling, yellow butterflies puddling, coatimundi stalking, Dourado fish wading, and the stork gliding.

      往返路上，一些珍稀動物相伴同行，捲尾猴樹間打鬥，美洲鬣蜥叢林閒蕩，黃蝴蝶泥潭嘻戲，南美浣熊善盯人梢，金魚溪流淌水，鸛鳥河面滑翔，令我耳目舒暢腳下生風。

     When I finally got tired of watching animals, I figured that if I got back to the hotel, I would dive into the pool first. But the plan couldn't catch up with the change! My thought was interrupted by a large gurgle from my stomach which made me think of food first before doing anything else. As I hurried back, I was disappointed that dinner would not be served until after 7:00 pm. With a hungry and empty stomach, I waited for dinner to come soon.

      道別了動物，我集中精力考慮當務之急，趕緊返回酒店，一頭扎到水裡。計劃沒有變化快！未等我付諸行動，胃裡傳出“咕嚕咕嚕”吶喊聲，民以食為天，先犒勞一下自己再說。我匆匆打道回府，不料，酒店餐館非要等到晚上七點鐘才肯開章營業。肚子空，腸子叫，我巴不得早點吃上晚餐。
