Colombia is a verdant wonderland

Soaring[高聳的] Andean summits, unspoiled Caribbean coast, enigmatic[神秘的，難以捉摸的] Amazon jungle, cryptic[神秘的] archaeological ruins and cobbled colonial communities. Colombia boasts all of South Americas allure[魅力], and more.

Colombias equatorial position affords it a diversity of landscapes matched by few countries. A slight tinkering in altitude takes you from sun-toasted Caribbean sands to coffee-strewn, emerald-green hilltops in the Zona Cafetera. Continue to climb and theres Bogot, the bustling cradle[搖籃] of Colombia and third-highest capital city in the world.

verdant 這個(gè)詞一般在較正式的行文或修辭中用得比較多；verdant形容（草、田野、樹(shù)木等）青翠、綠油油的，蔥蔥郁郁的；所以當(dāng)大家想要替換green（綠色）這個(gè)詞時(shí)，就可以用verdant，還有點(diǎn)文藝范兒呢，比如：

Its ancient dwellings in a verdant valley and above it are the Atlas Mountains.

The dining room features hardwood floors and views of the verdantsurroundings.

What surprised us was that a flamingo took flight across the verdantrainforest.

unspoiled spoil這個(gè)詞很多小伙伴應(yīng)該都比較熟悉了。在我們表達(dá)寵溺、寵壞小孩時(shí)，就可以用這個(gè)詞，比如：

Nowadays, many little kids are terribly spoilt by their parents and grandparents.

另外spoil這個(gè)詞本身還可以用來(lái)表達(dá)破壞，糟蹋，掃興的含義。比如我們經(jīng)常說(shuō)好好的假期都被壞天氣破壞了：

Our holidays were spoilt by bad weather, and we stayed at hotel for a whole week!

再比如：

The bad news that we would move to the new office building on the outskirtspoilt my day.

那么unspoiled大家應(yīng)該比較能聯(lián)想到了，un這個(gè)詞根表示無(wú)，沒(méi)有，不，unspoiled也就是還未被破壞的，也就是我們常說(shuō)的尚未被開(kāi)發(fā)、破壞的，。比如：

I visited Poda Island several years ago and it was still unspoiled and stunning at the time.

The environment is largely unspoiled but global warming is having a rapid impact on it.

With booming tourism, therere few unspoiled landscapes in the country.

afford afford這個(gè)詞大家特別熟悉的一個(gè)含義是負(fù)擔(dān)得起，有足夠的錢(qián)、時(shí)間或地方做某事；但在原文這里用這個(gè)含義來(lái)理解顯然不太通了。afford在較為正式的書(shū)面用語(yǔ)中可以用來(lái)表示提供，或使某事物可能發(fā)生。在對(duì)應(yīng)的中文釋義上，會(huì)根據(jù)原文的語(yǔ)境較靈活地翻譯。比如原文這里Colombias equatorial position affords it a diversity of landscapes matched by few countries.則是指哥倫比亞地處赤道附近，這使得它有著多樣的地貌，這是少有國(guó)家能夠匹敵的。

再比如：

New technologies such as VR have afforded pleasure to many.

We stayed in a beachfront house and it afforded us a stunning view of the sea.

sun-toasted 在英文中，名詞+過(guò)去分詞的這種合成詞形式是十分常見(jiàn)的；這種合成詞言簡(jiǎn)意賅，比如這里的sun-toasted; toast作動(dòng)詞時(shí)表示烤（黃/脆），加熱，那么把它的過(guò)去分詞和sun結(jié)合在一起，所表達(dá)的意思就十分形象了被太陽(yáng)烤過(guò)的，其實(shí)就是形容陽(yáng)光明媚的沙灘且沙灘的顏色比較偏烤焦，烤黃的那種感覺(jué)；類(lèi)似的表達(dá)還有sun-kissed beach(被太陽(yáng)親吻過(guò)的沙灘）sun-drenched beach (被陽(yáng)光滲透的沙灘）等等，都可以用來(lái)指陽(yáng)光明媚的沙灘。

coffee-strewn 這個(gè)詞和sun-toasted有異曲同工之處，都是名詞+過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成；strewn是strew的過(guò)去分詞；strew原本表示散播，撒滿(mǎn)；那這里筆者說(shuō)coffee-strewn無(wú)非就是形容這里的咖啡很多（因?yàn)槲覀兌贾?，南美其?shí)是盛產(chǎn)咖啡豆）。

再比如我們形容某個(gè)地方的沙灘很臟，有很多垃圾，你完全可以說(shuō)：
