Ga·lá·pa·gos Islands AHD[gə-läʹpə-gəs, -lăpʹə-] D.J.[gəˈlɑːpəgəs, -ˈlæpə-]K.K.[gəˈlɑpəgəs, -ˈlæpə-]NONE（无词性）- A group of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean west of the mainland of Ecuador. The islands are famous for their rare species of fauna, including the giant tortoises for which they are named. Charles Darwin visited the islands in 1835 and collected a wealth of scientific data that contributed to his theory of natural selection. Tourism is now strictly regulated to protect the endangered species unknown outside the archipelago.加拉帕戈斯群岛：位于厄瓜多尔大陆西侧太平洋上的一组火山群岛。该群岛因其稀有种类的动物而闻名，包括因庞大身躯而得名的大海龟，查尔斯·达尔文于1835年到过这些群岛并采集了大量的科学资料，对他的自然选择学说帮助很大。为保护群岛之外的一些鲜为人知的正遭危害的物种，旅游业现在受到了严格的控制
