英语日记带翻译

一天，我们家里搬来了几盆花。它大约有一米高，圆柱形的主枝上，不规则的伸出一些分枝，分支的顶部长着一些形状扁平、边缘呈波浪状的大绿叶，在这些绿叶之间，点缀着像火炬的花苞。爸爸告诉我，这是昙花，开放时可美了！

One day, we moved a few pots of flowers. It is about one meter high. On the cylindrical main branch, it extends out some branches irregularly. At the top of the branch, there are some big green leaves with flat shape and wavy edge. Among these green leaves, there are flower bracts like torches. Dad told me, this is Epiphyllum, when it's open, it's beautiful!

听了爸爸的话，我搬来椅子，坐在花盆前，目不转睛的盯着花。爸爸看我很奇怪，问：“你在看什么呢？”“我在等昙花开花，看看它是不是真的那么美丽。”“傻孩子，昙花要在晚上才会开放呢！”爸爸笑着说。

After listening to my father, I moved to a chair and sat in front of the flowerpot, staring at the flowers. Dad looked at me strangely and asked, "what are you looking at?" "I'm waiting for the Epiphyllum to bloom and see if it's really so beautiful." "Silly child, Epiphyllum will open at night!" Dad said with a smile.

于是，我们耐心等着。到了夜里十点钟左右，我突然发现整个花株抖动了一下，然后花苞慢慢地翘起来，就像层层的纱衣在慢慢打开。接着昙花使劲地撑开柔美的花瓣，直到将洁白如雪的花朵呈现于万物之间。我惊叹不已。

So we waited patiently. At about ten o'clock in the night, I suddenly found that the whole flower plant shook, and then the buds slowly rose, like layers of gauze clothes slowly opening. Then Epiphyllum Vigorously opens the soft and beautiful petals until it presents the white flowers like snow among all things. I was amazed.

这时，我突然想到，昙花这么美丽，为什么不在白天开放，将这份美丽呈现给更多人呢？我带着这个疑问，翻阅了许多资料，终于在一本《大自然秘密》的书里找到了答案。原来昙花开花的奇异特性与它的原产地的`气候和地理特点有关，它生长在美洲墨西哥至巴西的沙漠之中，那里的气候又干又热，但到了晚上就凉快多了。晚上开花，可以避开强烈的阳光，又可以大大减少水分的蒸发，使它的生命得到延续。天长地久，昙花在夜间开花的特性就逐渐形成，代代相传，延续至今了。

At this time, I suddenly thought that Epiphyllum is so beautiful, why not open in the daytime, and present this beauty to more people? With this question, I read a lot of information, and finally found the answer in a Book of nature's secret. Originally, the unique characteristics of Epiphyllum flowering are related to the climate and geographical characteristics of its origin. It grows in the desert from Mexico to Brazil in America, where the climate is dry and hot, but it is much cooler at night. Flowering at night, can avoid strong sunlight, but also can greatly reduce the evaporation of water, so that its life can be continued. For a long time, the characteristics of Epiphyllum blooming at night gradually formed, passed down from generation to generation, and has continued to this day.

原来昙花还蕴含着一定的科学道理，我相信只要留心观察生活，就一定会在大自然中发现更多的奥秘。

It turns out that Epiphyllum also contains certain scientific principles. I believe that as long as you pay attention to life, you will find more mysteries in nature.
