“加利福尼亚州”英语作文译文：
加利福尼亚到处是天然奇景。这里有死谷，它低于海平面282英尺，是美国最低的陆地。在塞阔亚国家公园还可以找到“谢尔曼将军”。这位将军不是军人，而是世界上最古老、最大的树。
在落杉矶，你可以进行一种特殊的观星活动――观看好莱坞的电影明星拍电影。洛杉矶还有加利福尼亚最初的“公民”――冰河时代的化石。这些化石是拉布雷亚的沥青坑中发现的。这是已出土的一批极丰富的史前化石。大约一百万年以前，长着剑齿的老虎、巨大的懒猴和其他庞然大物突然跌进坑内，它们在粘胶似的沥青里被永久保存了下来。
再往北去，在海边有范登堡航空基地，这是发射导弹和卫星的地方。你可以在加利福尼亚进行一次快速旅行――从冰河时代到太空时代。
