Like any out-of-the-way place, the Napo River in the Ecuadorian jungle seems real enough when you are there, even central.

如同所有僻远之地，当你身临其境时，厄瓜多尔丛林深处的纳波河就显得那么真实，甚至有中心要地的感觉。

The Napo River itself is wide and brown, opaque, and smeared with floating foam and logs and branches from the jungle.

纳波河河面宽阔，河水混浊，呈褐黄色，浮沫以及丛林里来的木段和树枝翻浮其上。

Annie Dillard tells of her visit to the Napo River in the heart of the Ecuadorian jungle, one of nature's most unspoiled places.

The point of going somewhere like the Napo River in Ecuador is not to see the most spectacular anything. It is simply to see what is there.

" It makes me wonder, " he said, " what I'm doing in a tent under a tree in the village of Pompeya, on the Napo River, in the jungle of Ecuador."

“我不由纳闷，”他说，“在厄瓜多尔的丛林里，在纳波河上，在蓬帕雅小村，在树下的帐篷里，自己在干什么。”

Beneath us the brown Napo River was rising, in all silence; it coiled up the sandy bank and tangled its foam in vines that trailed from the forest and roots that looped the shore.

在我们下方，褐黄色的纳波河水正在涨潮。万籁俱寂，惟见河水沿着沙岸蜿蜒流过，水沫裹挟在蔓生在森林里的藤蔓间以及盘绕岸边的树根上。
