原文及翻译

Niagara Falls is one of the world's leading tourist attractions. Millions of people around the world visit here each year. Summers at the falls are specially busy with traffic jams and parking problems. However, the falls are beautiful in winter too. Many have asked why people travel so far to see water falling over a cliff. 

尼亚加拉瀑布是世界著名的旅游景点之一。每年都有数百万来自世界各地的游客来此游览。瀑布的夏季交通拥堵，停车问题严重。不过，瀑布在冬季也十分美丽。许多人都问过，为什么人们要长途跋涉来观看瀑布从悬崖上落下的景象。

The size and beauty of Niagara Falls help to make it special. While many falls are higher than Niagara, very few are as wide or have such a volume of water. It also helps that Niagara is relatively easy to travel to. When the first Europeans came to Niagara, the falls were surrounded by forest. 

尼亚加拉瀑布的规模和美丽让它显得如此特别。虽然许多瀑布都比尼亚加拉瀑布高，但很少有瀑布像它这样宽，水量也如此之大。尼亚加拉瀑布相对容易游览，这也是它的优势。当第一批欧洲人来到尼亚加拉时，瀑布周围环绕着森林。

The noise of the falls could be heard miles away before they were actually seen. The first visitors were filled with horror at the site. Later, fear ceased to be the main emotion inspired by the falls. Later visitors were impressed by the beauty and grandeur of the falls, which overwhelmed them with wonder.

在人们真正看到瀑布之前，几英里外就能听到瀑布的轰鸣声。第一批游客看到瀑布后，心中充满了恐惧。后来，恐惧不再是瀑布带来的主要情感。后来的游客被瀑布的美丽和宏伟所打动，惊叹不已。
