我們的長江 Our Changjing River
We call the Yellow River our “Mother River” and we also see the Chang, jiang River as our “Father River” since these two rivers are the source of the civilization of Chinese people. Our remote ancestors lived along the river, so both rivers have witnessed the growth of Chinese people and they are our valuable heritage. My childhood is closely associated with the Changjiang River.
我們把黃河稱為我們的“母親河”，我們也常把長江比作“父親河”，因為這兩個河流的源頭是中國人們的文明。我們的老祖宗沿河居住，因此兩河流已經見證了中國人的成長，他們也是我們寶貴的遺產。我的童年和長江是密切相關的。
When I was young, my father often took me to the riverside.I was always struck by the beautiful scenery of the river. The water was pure, clean and blue. Some birds flew down, scraped the water and roared up suddenly and some grass floated in the water quietly. Looking into the distance, I saw the river wandering toward the east. However, after the thunderstorm, the water was turbulent with some whirls in the middle of the river.The fresh breeze gave my face a feeling of moisture. Even today I still remember the magnificent scene and the impressive feeling. Some unpleasant changes have taken place since then. Many hills alongside the river have become bald. More and more mud and dust are being washed down into the river each year. Worsestill, driven by economic profits, some factories keep pouring pollutants into the river. Luckily people have been awakened to their obligation.
我年輕的時候,我的父親經常帶我去河邊。我總是被河邊的美麗景色吸引。水很純潔,干凈和藍藍的。有些鳥兒飛下來突然間大聲吼起來把水面給抓破了而一些草卻靜靜地在水中漂浮。放眼望去，我看見河水向東流。然而，在雷雨后，水是渾濁的有些還在河中央旋轉。清新的微風吹過讓我覺得我臉上都有了水分。即使今天我仍然記得那壯麗的場面和令人印象深刻的感覺。一從那時起，一些不愉快的變化發生了。河周圍的山已經變禿了。每年越來越多的泥土和灰塵被沖進進河里。仍然糟糕的是，由于經濟利潤，一些工廠不斷往河里注入污染物。幸運的是人們已經意識到他們的義務了。
They learn a lesson from the big flood in 1998 that we have to nourish our Changjiang River just as it has nourished us and protect it just as it has protected us. Only after a harmonious relationship has been established between men and the river can we prevent the tragedy happening again and restore beauty to our Changjiang River.
他們從1998年的大洪水中吸取了教訓,我們必須要滋養我們的長江正如它滋養我們一樣，保護它正如它保護我們一樣。只有在人河之間建立一種和諧的關系后，我們才可以防止悲劇得再次發生并恢復美麗的長江。
