So to make up the remaining 170 kilometers, the researchers also revised their estimate for the amazons endpoint as well.

因此，为了弥补剩余的 170 公里，研究人员还修改了他们对亚马逊河终点的估计。

In fact, one out of every ten known species calls the amazon home, and this region is by the world's greatest collection of life on Earth.

事实上，每十个已知物种中就有一个把亚马逊当做栖息地，它是世界上最大的生物聚集地。

For these reasons, this research team concluded that the amazon's total length is actually in fact 6992 kilometers which beats out the traditional measurement of the Nile by 342 kilometers.

由于这些原因，该研究小组得出结论，亚马逊河的总长度实际上是 6992 公里，比尼罗河的传统测量长度长 342 公里。
