日月潭作为台湾宝岛唯一的自然湖泊,位于南投县。日月潭被拉鲁小岛分成两半,东边圆圆的像太阳,西边状如新月。日月潭被尊为台湾之心,不仅因为其地理位置,同时也是因为它是五大水电站之家,就像向人体器官输送血液一样日月潭不停地向台湾岛隔地方输送电力。
日月潭
Sun Moon Lake
As the only natural lake on the island of Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake is situated in Nantou County. It is divided by the tiny island of Lalu; the eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon. The beautiful alpine lake is revered as the heart of Taiwan, not only because of its central geographic location, but also for its role as home to five major hydropower plants which provide electricity to the rest of the island- just like the blood sent from a person's heart to their organs.
