Niagara Falls has been a famous honeymoon spot for over a hundred years: some honeymooners have been more faithful to it than to each other.
一百多年來，尼亞加拉大瀑布一直是著名的蜜月旅行圣地：許多新婚夫婦對它情有獨鐘，甚至勝過對配偶的忠誠度。
When The Falls Formed
瀑布何時形成
Since the falls were formed during the late Pleistocene period, about twelve thousand years ago, they have been subject to the force of erosion.
大瀑布形成于更新世時期晚期，距今一萬兩千多年，此后大瀑布一直遭受著外力侵蝕。
As they erode, the falls are moving upstream, so they will one day disappear into Lake Erie.
隨著不斷被侵蝕，大瀑布也在逐漸向上游移動，因此，終有一天，大瀑布將消失在伊利湖。
Like all waterfalls, Niagara erodes because water wears away the softer rock at the base of the cliff, where a turbulent pool forms below the waterfall.
像所有的瀑布一樣，尼亞加拉大瀑布遭受侵蝕是因為水流不斷地沖刷懸崖底部硬度較低的石頭，而瀑布下方形成湍流池。
Because erosion affects the base of the cliff, the old cliff face will collapse and the new edge will be slightly upstream.
因為侵蝕會影響懸崖底部，陳舊懸崖因侵蝕坍塌，新的懸崖形成并將逐漸往上游移動。
