the forest floor 森林的地面

通常来说，户外的地面叫做 the ground, 室内的地面而是 the floor. 不过有一个例外 例句

In a rainforest, only about 2% of the light that hits the tops of trees reaches the forest floor.

The forest floor is fundamental to the whole ecosystem. It is where insects live and the processes of decomposition and plant growth take place.

请注意

和今天的短语相似，单词 carpet 可以用来形容似地毯状的覆盖物，比如说 carpet of flowers 鲜花地毯。

We stepped off the path and onto a carpet of flowers.

Carpet 这个单词作为动词使用很常见，尤其是在被动语态的句子中。

The forest floor was carpeted with bluebells, daffodils and other wildflowers.。
