The old forest canopies often have those snags, which are big dead branches that break off and can fall erratically when the tree comes down.

老林冠往往有这种枯干，很大的死树枝，随大树倒下而崩断，不知掉到哪里去。

Under the forest canopy, we found an interesting phenomenon: by the side of a stump or a dead old tree, there was always one or several saplings growing up to fill the vacant space.

在遮天蔽日的森林之中，我们发现了一个有趣的现象：在每一个树桩旁边，或者一株枯死的老树周围，总会有一株或几株非常年轻的树木在蓬勃长起，弥补已死去的老树所遗留下的空间。
