口语学习技巧|the forest floor 森林的地面

一般来讲，户外的地面叫做 the ground, 室内的地面而是 the floor. 不过有一个例外 例句

In a rainforest, only about 2% of the light that hits the TOPs of trees reaches the forest floor.

The forest floor is fundamental to the whole ecosplayystem^{1. It is where insects live and the processes of decomposition2 and plant growth take place.}

请注意

和今天的短语相似，单词 carpet 可以用来形容似地毯状的覆盖物，譬如说 carpet of flowers 鲜花地毯。

We stepped off the path and onto a carpet of flowers.

Carpet 这个单词作为动词用非常容易见到，特别是在被动语态的句子中。

The forest floor was carpeted with bluebells^{3, daffodils and other wildflowers.。}
