Baby in a Bicycle Basket, Cambodia, 2000
Photograph by Steve McCurry
A baby in a makeshift bike basket stares into the camera in Angkor, Cambodia. It’s common in some Buddhist cultures to shave children’s heads, often leaving a small unshaved tuft above the forehead.
在柬埔寨的吴哥，一名坐在简易车筐里的孩子正注视着镜头。在某些佛教文化中，儿童剃光头非常普遍，常常只留下前额的一小撮刘海。

Desert Landscape, Jordan, 1999
Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt
Wind-combed dunes meet parched mud flats in Wadi Rum, a stark desertscape in southwestern Jordan. Revered for its dramatic sandstone and granite rock faces cut into a breathtaking span of sunbaked desert, Wadi Rum was made famous by Lawrence of Arabia, who based his operations there during the Arab Revolt.
在约旦西南方荒凉的瓦地伦(Wadi Rum)沙漠中，风吹过的沙丘与干燥的淤泥滩交织在一起。这片被大面积令人窒息的酷热笼罩的沙漠里，有着壮观的砂石和花岗岩地貌，此地以描述阿拉伯起义的军事行动的电影《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》而闻名于世。

Swans, Edinburgh, Scotland, 1999
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Brooding skies cast a lavender glow on a flock of mute swans gliding across a crag-ringed loch in Edinburgh, Scotland. As their name suggests, mute swans are usually silent, limited by a straight trachea. However, they occasionally snort, hiss, or bark. The graceful Cygnus olor communicates mostly through visual displays and postures.
在苏格兰的爱丁堡，淡紫色的天空下，一群哑天鹅在群山环绕的湖面上静静地划过。顾名思义，因其直气管所限，哑天鹅大多数时候都保持安静。不过哑天鹅偶尔会发出呼哧声，嘘声，或吼声。这种优雅的疣鼻天鹅(Cygnus olor)大多数情况下都通过肢体语言进行交流。

Fur Seal, Falkland Islands, 1987
Photograph by Steven Raymer
A Falkland Islands fur seal perches on a rock outcrop off New Island, where seafood-rich waters nourish a wildlife population diverse in nature and often astonishing in number. Fur seal populations here have rebounded to merely modest levels after a hunting bloodbath in the early 19th century brought the subspecies to the brink of extinction.
图中一头福克兰岛海狗正栖息在新岛外的一块礁石上，这片海产丰富的水域滋养了种类繁多的野生动物群体，有些的数量非常惊人。在19世纪初期，这里的海狗曾遭到大肆捕杀，几乎灭绝，目前海狗的数量也仅有所适当回升。

Monster Truck Jump, Pennsylvania, 2004
Photograph by Sarah Leen
A monster truck displays its brute power at a stunt rally in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. America’s love affair with automobiles spans far and wide, from monster truck rallies and race car shows to supersize SUVs. That love affair translates to big consumption: The U.S. slurps up to a quarter of the world’s oil—about three gallons (11 liters) a person every day—even though it has just 5 percent of the world’s population.
在宾夕法尼亚州的布卢姆斯堡，一辆大脚卡车正在一场特技拉力赛上展示其猛兽般的力量。美国人对汽车的兴趣跨度很广，无论对大脚车拉力赛和赛车表演还是大型越野车都非常喜欢。这种酷爱也随之带来了巨大的消耗量：尽管美国人口只占世界人口总数的百分之五，但却消耗了世界上四分之一的原油--大约每人每天消耗三加仑(11升)。
