There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there. After about a mile（一英里）, a stranger appeared （出现）beside the path（在路边）. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going, “yes,” he replied（回答说）, “ you`ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over（从…上面看过去） them, but it was silent（寂静的） and there was no sign of it（看不到它）. Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared（消散）. The sun rose behind me and shone on(照在…上） the rocks.

I remained （逗留）by （在…旁）the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?” I certainly know（当然知道） the answer. What do you think? M
