世界上最短的5条河流

It is hard to imagine that there are rivers less than a minute walk. When it comes to rivers, we often visualize long, flowing rivers that travel through hills and valleys before reaching the ocean. The Nile is an example, with a length of more than 6800km. The Amazon, Yangtze, and Mississippi Rivers are also known for their enormous length and magnificent flow.

很难想象还有不到一分钟路程的河流。说到河流，我们常常想象一条长长的、流动的河流，它穿过山丘和山谷，最后到达大海。尼罗河就是一个例子，它的长度超过6800公里。亚马逊河、长江和密西西比河也以其巨大的长度和壮丽的流量而闻名。

However, not all rivers are large. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a river is "a natural stream of water flowing in a channel with a defined shore". In fact, many rivers are multichannel flows. And there are also many rivers that you can easily go all their length in ... a minute. So why don't people call them lakes or creeks? This is because they have a steady stream flowing down from the high mountains and end at a sea, lake, or wetlands.

然而，并不是所有的河流都很长。根据《大英百科全书》的说法，河流是“一条天然的水流，流经有明确海岸的河道”。事实上，许多河流都是多河道的。还有很多河流，你可以很容易地游完所有的长度……一分钟。那为什么人们不称它们为湖泊或小溪呢?这是因为它们有一条稳定的溪流，从高山流下，止于大海、湖泊或湿地。

Here are some of the shortest rivers in the world that you probably never knew.
