According to guess of expert, it might take a hundred million years to form such grand stalactite. Thus lovely natural grand Buddha is even more unique in the world.(據(jù)專家推測(cè)，如此高大的鐘乳石需億年時(shí)間方能形成，為世所罕見，而如此生動(dòng)的天然巨佛更堪稱稀世奇珍。)

Please do not hold your head high, or you might knock your head against some protruding stalactite.(請(qǐng)別高昂著頭，否則你的頭可能撞到突出的鐘乳石上。)

In one place, near at hand, a stalagmite had been slowly growing up from the ground for ages, builded by the water-drip from a stalactite overhead.(不遠(yuǎn)處有個(gè)石筍，已有些年月，它是由頭頂上的鐘乳石滴水所形成的。)

On the aspect of forms, there are stalagmite, stalactite, lime-flower, stone-bar, stone-bed etc.(論形態(tài)，石鐘乳、石筍、石花、石芝、石柱、石床……眾體皆備。)

Three shapes of the micro-stalactite above mentioned are typical fresh-water sedimentary in features of petrology.(上述三種形態(tài)的微型鐘乳石的巖石學(xué)特征也表明其是典型的淡水成因形成。)

Not every stalactite has a complementary stalagmite .(不是每根鐘乳石都有互生的石筍。)

It takes 160 years for one centimeter of stalactite to form, yet some unscrupulous plundering has left many local residents who want to see the site preserved heartbroken.(每長一公分鐘乳石需要花上160年的時(shí)間，而這些遭盜采鐘乳石，經(jīng)過這樣的攀折，也讓有心保護(hù)的當(dāng)?shù)孛癖娦耐础?

During the formation of stalactite and stalagmite in karst caves carbonate minerals often trap gas and aqueous fluids, forming immiscible fluid inclusion population when they are crystallizing.(喀斯特溶洞中石鐘乳和石筍在形成過程中，碳酸鹽礦物結(jié)晶時(shí)，常常捕獲周圍水溶液和氣體，形成不混溶流體包裹體組合。)

Sediments in karst caves here, such as stalagmite, stalactite and flowstone, could provide some new evidences for investigation of the neotectonic movement, especially earthquake in this area.(因此，洞穴沉積物（包括石筍、石鐘乳和流石等）可望為川東北地區(qū)的新構(gòu)造活動(dòng)尤其是地震事件研究提供一種新的依據(jù)。)

Water, containing dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate, passes through the limestone and drops evaporate on the stalactite, increasing its length with a deposit of calcium carbonate.(含有溶解碳酸氫鈣的水通過石灰石滴在鐘乳石上蒸發(fā)，隨著碳酸鈣沉積物的增加不斷增加著它的長度。)
