亚马逊河 The Amazon
The Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures； the volume of water it carries to the sea（approximately 20百分 of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans）， the area of land that drains into it， and its length and width. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and， depending upon who you talk to， is anywhere between 6，259km/3，903mi and 6，712km/4，195mi long.亚马逊河的水容量最年夜，长度和宽度最年夜For the last century the length of the Amazon and the Nile Rivers have been in a tight battle for title of world's longest river. The exact length of the two rivers varies over time and reputable sources disagree as to their actual length. The Nile River in Africa is reported to be anywhere from at 5，499km/3，437mi to 6，690km/4，180mi long. But there is no question as to which of the two great rivers carry the greater volume of water - the Amazon.亚马逊河和尼罗河老是在长度上有所争议，但水容量最年夜的却一定是亚马逊河。
At its widest point the Amazon can be 11km/6.8 mi wide during the dry season. The area covered by the Amazon River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110，000 square km of land are water-covered， while in the wet season the flooded area
of the Amazon Basin rises to 350，000 square km. When the flood plains and the Amazon River Basin flood during the rainy season the Amazon River can be up to 40km/24.8 mi wide. Where the Amazon opens at its estuary the river is over 325km/202 mi wide！在干旱是最年夜宽度到达11千米
Because the Amazon drains the entire Northern half of the South American continent（approx. 40百分 landmass）， including all the torrential tropical rains that deluge the rainforests， it carries an enormous amount of water. The mouth of the Amazon River， where it meets the sea， is so wide and deep that ocean-going ships have navigated its waters and traveled as far inland as two-thirds the way up the entire length of the river.水容量之所以年夜是因为亚马逊河排挤了整个南美洲北部（40百分的笼盖率）的全部水源，乃至包括了热带雨林的雨水。
