科罗纳多CORONADO

格兰德湖，海拔8380英尺，邮编80447：科罗拉多最大的冰川湖，是科罗拉多河的源头。如此清澈凉爽，所以......我以后会带你和西内去那里的。
Grand Lake – Elevation 8380 feet. Zip code 80447: The largest glacial lake in Colorado, it’s the source of the Colorado River. So clear and cool. So . . . I’m gonna’ get you and Sine up there sometime.

它是源头，如果你来自科罗拉多州......比如，湖中的水是从哪里来的?
It’s the source, if you’re from Colorado . . . Like, where did the water in the lake come from?

告诉我们，告诉我们。

我所知道的是它始于犹他州的摩押附近，那里是来自怀俄明州的格林河和来自科罗拉多州的格兰德河的交汇处。在那之后，水开始变红，这就是为什么他们叫它科罗拉多，你知道吗，也就是西班牙语的红色。
What I know is it starts near Moab, Utah, where the Green River from Wyoming and the Grand River from Colorado meet. After that the water starts to look red, which is why they call it the Colorado, Spanish for red, you know.

哦，然后呢。
Uh huh.

因为格林河的水域比格兰德河大，他们说格林河实际上是科罗拉多河的起点，也就是说它实际上是从怀俄明州开始的。但是某位科罗拉多州的政治家成功地说服了国会将这条大河重新命名为科罗拉多河。可以想象那就像他的孩子。
And because the Green drains a larger area than the Grand, they say the Green is actually the start of the Colorado, which means it actually starts in Wyoming. But some Colorado politician was able to get Congress to rename the Grand River the Colorado. You’d think it was his kid.

怀俄明的人太环保了，没法给它起个好名字。
So the people in Wyoming were too green to get it named right, huh.

奥拉AURA

这就是为什么那里的每个人都称他们自己的部分为格林。
That’s why everybody there calls their part the Green.

因此这是语言的问题？
So it's a language thing?

甚至国家公园管理局（我猜是因为他们想继续经营）也说，从落基山国家公园中部向下延伸的大陆分水岭西侧的水域，构成了科罗拉多河的源头。因此，如此简单的事实，他们都要去争辩的话，他们为水本身而争辩也就不足为奇了。你可以在"科罗拉多河源头"的链接中读到关于它的所有内容，都是一堆哗众取宠的话。
Even the National Park Service, I guess because they want to stay in business, says that waters on the west side of the Continental Divide that runs down the middle of Rocky Mountain National Park, form the headwaters of the Colorado. So if they have to fight over such simple facts, it’s no surprise they fight over the water itself. You can read all about it in the link called “Colorado River Source” What a bunch of clap trap.
