Located in Madagascar is a forest unlike any other.
马达加斯加有一处森林世间绝无仅有。
Because if you look closely, this forest is made of stone.
因为近看之下，你会发现这座森林其实是由石头堆砌而成。
The Tsingy de Bemaraha, also known as Tsingy Stone Forest, is made of limestone, which was once underwater some 200 million years ago.
黥基·德·贝玛拉哈，又名“黥基石林”，是一座石灰石林，大约两亿年前，这里曾是一片汪洋。
The rocks all feature distinct, razor-sharp formations, created by erosion from tropical rain, which washed away the softer stone.
这些岩石形状鲜明而锋利，因为较软的石头已经被热带雨水冲刷走了。
The reserve is around 230 square miles in size, and the stone towers rise 220 feet from the ground.
保护区面积约230平方英里（约600平方千米），石塔距离地面高达220英尺（约67）米。
Although this dramatic landscape appears inhospitable to nature,
虽然这里地貌夸张，似乎是生命的禁区，
Tsingy is home to some very resilient wildlife, including numerous wild bird populations and 11 different species of lemur.
但黥基生活着一群适应能力极强的动物，包括许多野生鸟类和11种狐猴。
The word Tsingy is indigenous to the Malagasy language and aptly translates to where one cannot walk barefoot.
黥基这个词是马达加斯加方言里的词，恰当的翻译为“无法赤脚行走的地方”。
However, while one cannot walk barefoot, the Tsingy Stone Forest is accessible to those wanting to see and climb the forest in real life.
尽管这里不适合赤脚行走，但那些想要亲眼看到，亲自攀爬这座森林的人还是能够到达这里。
