Voice 1: The Sahara desert. It is the world's largest desert. It covers a third of the African continent--an area about the size of the United States. The Sahara desert is one of the hottest, driest places on Earth. Temperatures may rise over fifty-seven degrees Celsius. And it receives less than eight centimetres of rain a year.
聲音1：撒哈拉沙漠。這是世界上最大的沙漠。這個沙漠占非洲大陸面積的三分之一，其面積相當于美國的大小。撒哈拉沙漠是地球上最熱、最干燥的地方之一。那里的溫度可能超過57攝氏度。一年的雨水量少于8厘米。
Voice 2: Over thousands of years, rising and falling winds created the desert. The winds evaporate water from the sand. But these winds rarely bring rain. Natives to the Sahara have given some of the winds special names. "Haboob" is the Arabic name for a wild sand carrying wind. "Khamsin" means fifty days. This wind blows across the Sahara from March through May. The Khamsin wind fills the air with sand.
聲音2：數千年以來，氣流的上升和下降創造了這個沙漠。氣流使沙子里的水分蒸發。但是這些氣流卻很少帶來雨水。撒哈拉當地人給一些氣流起了特殊的名字。“哈布塵暴”是攜帶氣流的一股狂沙。“喀新風”的意思是50天。這股氣流3月至5月在撒哈拉沙漠吹拂。“喀新風”則使空氣中充滿沙子。
