The Okefenokee Swamp covers an area in southeast Georgia that is about half the size of Rhode Island. 奥克弗诺基沼泽位于乔治亚洲东南,其面积约为罗德岛的一半大。
Okefenokee is an Anglicization of an American Indian word meaning "trembling earth" and describes the soft, spongy peat moss that gives an unstable feel to the swamp's drier areas. 奥克弗诺基是一句英文发音的美国印第安人词组,意思是“战栗的土地”,形容这片沼泽干燥地区那种由柔软的,海绵似的泥煤苔造成的不稳固的感觉。
