Explorers, this time we are going to see an active volcano—the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. It is perhaps the most active volcano in the world. It is recorded that almost every four years there is an eruption.
The ancient Hawaiians considered the eruption of the volcano as the breath of Pele, the goddess of volcanoes.
探险家们，这回我们就去看看一座活跃的火山—夏威夷的Kilauea火山。它恐怕是世界上最活跃的火山了，据记录，几乎每四年它就会喷发一次。古夏威夷人把火山喷发看作火山神派丽的呼吸。
Most eruptions are relatively gentle, sending lava flows to a few meters or sometimes a few hundred meters high. These eruptions occur over and over again, gradually building up the volcano.
Kilauea火山喷发时大多都不太激烈，熔岩从火山口喷射而出，形成几米到几十米不等的熔岩喷泉。就这样，火山一次又一次的喷发，逐渐地kilauea就变成了现在的样子。
Kilauea is unique among the world's volcanoes.
It's not only one of the most active volcanoes in the world, but also puts out the highest volume of lava per year of all volcanoes on the planet.
In addition, it is one of the most powerful. With temperature high enough to melt rock at over 1500 degrees, it's very destructive to things that already exist on the Island of Hawaii, such as trees, wildlife, and buildings; anything in the path of this lava will be completely destroyed.
在世界众多火山中，Kilauea火山是非常独特的。它不仅是世界上最活跃的火山之一而且它每年喷出的熔岩也是地球上所有火山中最多的。
不仅如此，Kilauea火山也是最强有力的火山之一。熔岩的温度可高达1500度以上，足以熔化岩石。它对夏威夷岛上的任何东西可产生难以想象的破坏，如树木、野生动物、 建筑物。火山熔岩所到之处，任何事物都将被彻底毁灭。 Okay, do you feel hot after seeing the great Kilauea Volcano? Let’s go to a cool place next time. See you! 好啦，看完壮观的Kilauea火山，是不是感觉有点热呢？下次我们去个凉爽的地方吧！下次见喽！
