Bali巴厘岛
Record by Dean Huang(张士柏英语中心优秀教师) www.penmag.cn
Bali is located in an archipelago(群岛)country of Indonesia. It is an island in the Southern part of Indonesia, in the Indian Ocean. There is no other island more beautiful than Bali. The island is nicknamed "Island of the Gods" for its natural beauty and friendly Balinese.
Bali is one big sculpture(雕刻). Every status(地形) is manicured(修整)and polished(修饰)with such delicate details, every niche(块)and field is carved by men. The surface of the island is marked by deep ravines(沟壑), fast flowing river, and a stretch of volcanic(火山)chain. On the plains of Bali, rice fields are exquisitely(精巧地)carved out of hills and valleys, and the water is just sparkling(闪亮) with green. Besides rice, crops such as tea, cacao(可可豆), groundnuts and tropical fruits flourish in the island.
Balinese are skilled artists. They do extremely well in woodcarving. The women of Bali are noted for their traditional dancing and for their skills in weaving clothes from thread as well as embroidering(刺绣)silk and cotton.
The majority of Balinese believe in the teaching of Hinduism(印度教). Unlike Hinduism in India, in Bali Hinduism has developed on its own line of faith. The Balinese are scared witless of ghosts, goblins(妖精), and the like(同类), which could disguise(伪装)themselves as black cats, naked women, and the crows.
