世界上10種最美麗的花 你喜歡哪種呢?
The most beautiful flowers in the world are those you like best. I am sure you already have a list of your own, because most human beings like flowers. Their scent and their appearance have inspired us since the very beginning. We use them to decorate our hair, our homes or our parks and we perfume ourselves with flower essences. Imagine a world where flowers would not exist: it would be really toneless and sad, don’t you agree? Flowers are very special to me and this is why I created this top “10 most beautiful flowers in the world”:
世界上最美的花當然就是指那些你最喜歡的花，我們大多數人都是喜愛花的，所以我相信你已經列出了你自己的列表。第一眼相見，它們的花香、花容就讓我們爲之驚歎。我們用它們來點綴我們的頭髮、裝點我們的家、修飾我們的公園；花朵製成的精油讓我們香氣襲人。要是一個世界沒有了花，那將會多麼死氣沉沉、黯淡無光，不是嗎？我對花有着非常特別的情感，所以我列出我的“世上10種最美的花”的列表。
1. The Bird of Paradise 天堂鳥
This amazing flower truly has the shape of a bird and this detail is what makes it special. The colorful bird of paradise is really tall: the plant may reach as much as 5 feet in height and the flower itself is pretty large as well. The bird of paradise may be found in South Africa. However, check your local florist: this plant is not only one of the most beautiful in the world, but one of the most popular as well.
這種令人驚豔的花形狀很像天堂鳥，正是這一點讓它很特別。顏色瑰麗的天堂鳥花非常高：天堂鳥花的植株有1.5米那麼高，花朵本身有井口那麼大。或許你只能在南非看到天堂鳥花，但是，訪問一下你本地的花店你就會發現：天堂鳥花不但是世界上最美麗的花之一，也是最受歡迎的花之一。
2. The Rose 玫瑰
Roses are the most celebrated flowers in the world. The big, colored roses have been since centuries preferred by all categories of people at any event what so ever. They have many symbols, depending on their colors. Roses may not be exotic or new to you, but they sure are among the most beautiful flowers in the world and this is exactly why we all love them.
玫瑰是世界上最有名的花。幾個世紀以來，無論任何情況、任何場合之下，花朵飽滿、顏色鮮豔的玫瑰花一直深受各個不同種族人們的偏愛。根據花色的不同，它們有很多的象徵意義。玫瑰或許對你來說並不奇特或新鮮，但它們絕對屬於世上最美的花之一，這也恰恰是爲什麼我們都喜愛它的原因。
3. Orchids 蘭花
Orchids are also well known and very famous for the wide range of species out there. They are very adaptable, populating all continents, except for the cold one. The unbelievable orchids are as old as time and as beautiful as rain drops. While considered rare and valuable some centuries ago, they may be seen today in many homes and offices.
蘭花也以因其品種繁多而赫赫有名。除了最冷的南極洲外，它們適宜在任何大洲種植。不可思議的蘭花，古老如歲月，精美如雨滴。然而幾個世紀以前，蘭花還是稀有珍貴之物，如今在許多家庭和辦公室裏都可以見到。
4. The calla lily 馬蹄蓮
The calla lily is simple, as all elegant things. The splendor of it was acknowledged by Greeks as well: they named this plant “kallos”, which means “beauty”. Even though it makes a great houseplant, you should be careful for children and animals: callas are very toxic, if eaten!
馬蹄蓮花集樸素、典雅於一身。它的風采也被希臘人稱頌：他們把它命名爲“kallos”，意思是“美人”。雖然馬蹄蓮花一種極好的盆栽花，但是你要留心你的小孩和寵物，不要讓他們吃了它，馬蹄蓮花有劇毒。
5. The Hyacinth 風信子
They are spring flowers that decorate many gardens around the world. However, today, we may find them all year long, thanks to the effort of florists who cultivate the wonderful hyacinths. They are very special flowers, yet very sensitive. Once they are cut, their beauty and perfume will disappear very fast. They thrive in pots though, so you may enjoy them in the house as well as in the garden.
風信子是春天裏的花朵，裝飾着世界上許許多多的花園。不過，多虧了花卉學家們的努力，培育出了許多美妙的風信子，所以今天，我們能夠在一年的任何時間裏看到它們。它們是非常特別的花，非常敏感。一旦被剪斷了，它們的美麗和芳香會迅速消失。它們也適合盆栽，所以你可以在同時在室內和花園裏欣賞到它們。
6. The peony 牡丹
The large, rich peony flowers look great in gardens and this is exactly why they are often seen as part of outdoors arrangements. The beauty of these flowers was appreciated since ages, by specialists and common people alike. The emperor of China was so amazed by the powerful scent and by the aspect of the peony that he named it the national flower of his country.
花園裏花朵大大的、富麗堂皇的牡丹花看上去美極了，這就是爲什麼我們總能在戶外佈景看到它們。這些漂亮的花朵數百年來都被花卉專家和普通人們讚賞稱頌。中國的帝王驚豔於它濃郁的花香和外觀，把它命爲國花。
7. The water lily 睡蓮
One of the most famous and beautiful flowers in the world, the water lily is known all over the world. This is both because of the fact that its numerous species are widely spread and because of their romantic aspect. They were used as love symbols by poets, in their poems, they were painted by famous artists and their picture was taken by many photographers. They are one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces.
提及世界上最有名、最美麗的花之一，睡蓮可謂舉世皆知。這不光是因爲它品種繁多、分佈廣泛，還因爲它花形浪漫。在詩人的詩歌裏，它是愛情的象徵；著名的藝術家繪畫它，衆多的攝影家們拍攝它。它們是在大自然母親的傑作之一。
8. Pulmeria 雞蛋花
Pulmeria is the flower of a small tropical tree. This 5 petal flower looks very, very beautiful, and it may be easily cultivated. All it needs is a lot of sun and very little water. It has a powerful perfume, especially at night and this is one of the reasons for which this little flower is so unique.
雞蛋花是熱帶一種小型樹種的花朵。它的5瓣花非常優美、精緻，同時它也很容易栽植。它只需要大量的陽光和很少量的水。花香非常濃郁，尤其是在夜間，這也是爲什麼這種小花如此獨特的原因之一。
9. Cherry blossoms 櫻花
The most treasured flowers in Japan, cherry blossoms are truly wonderful to look at. There is nothing more poetic than a flowering cherry tree . It is not a surprise that Japanese people, with their sensitive soul and their inclination for beauty and peaceful sights, prefer these flowers above all others.
櫻花是日本最爲珍貴的花，看上去也極爲美麗。沒有什麼能比花團錦簇的櫻花樹更富有詩意了。對於熱愛美麗和平的景象、感性的日本來說，喜愛櫻花勝過一切花朵，這並沒什麼好驚訝的。
10. Gazania 非洲菊
Last on this list but certainly first on many people’s lists, Gazania is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. The strange pattern and the intense colors of this plant made me chose the Gazania for this top. In its home region, in South Africa, Gazania is also called the Treasure Flower, probably because of its amazing, intense, sometimes even glaring combinations of colors.
雖然它排在這個列表的最後，但是一定有很多人把它排在第一位，非洲菊是世界上最美麗的花之一。它奇異的花樣圖案和強烈的色彩，讓我把它選在了這個列表中。在它的原產地南非，也被稱爲“富貴花”，可能是因爲那讓人稱奇的、強烈的、有時甚至幾種顏色組合在一起的炫麗奪目的色彩。
