【双语】你好！中国 | 什么树可以挺立3000年？

传说中胡杨活着一千年不死，死后一千年不倒，倒后一千年不朽。

Legend has it that the Populus euphratica, also known as the "Willow of the Desert", can live for a thousand years without dying, remain standing for a thousand years after death, and endure for another thousand years without decay.

胡杨耐寒，耐旱，抗风沙，有很强的生命力，是当今世界上最古老的杨树品种，被誉为“活着的化石树”。

Populus euphratica is resistant to cold, drought, and windblown sand. It possesses remarkable vitality and is the oldest species of willow tree in the world. It's often referred to as a "living fossil tree".

一般情况下，一棵胡杨树的寿命大概是100-300年，因为植物基因的特殊属性，胡杨对盐碱以及干旱环境有着非常强的适应能力，所以只需要汲取少量的水分，就可以在干旱的沙漠中很好的生长。所以胡杨也有铮铮铁骨千年铸，不屈品质万年颂的美誉。

Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Populus euphratica tree is about 100 to 300 years. Due to its unique genetic properties, the tree has a strong adaptability to saline-alkali and arid environments. It can thrive well in the desert with minimal water consumption. This resilience has earned the Populus euphratica a reputation of being a tree with an unyielding spirit, enduring for thousands of years.
