三峡大坝英文导游词
Good morning, ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to China! Welcome to Hubei
Province!
Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River.
At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze
River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with
the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in
countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an
overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to
the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a
cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.
When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest
China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly
narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise
on either side, creating one of nature's most fantastic sights. The Three
Gorges---Qutang, wuxia and xiling----start just after Fengjie and end near
Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their
widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest.
Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the
three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like "a
thousand seas poured into one cup", as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo
described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows
Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an
ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some
containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are
believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc----221BC)
Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based
strange-shaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a
beautiful legend. The story of the "12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12
nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how
perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships. As
time went by, they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak, the
most graceful of the 12, is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of
the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other
peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the
last to bid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen
at a distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady.
Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which
stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just
over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals,
reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent
that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east
consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks
like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock,
which are named Bull's Liver and Horse' Lung, whose shape they take. Next does
the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and
his three disciples---Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese
adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river
suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit
many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including
the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village.
Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well-known
Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei
Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes
up to 203.9 billion rmb, equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed
power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the
dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled,
navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little
affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a
higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.
