鸟瞰中国-ChinafromAbove(上)_9.RiceTerraces

Lesson 9. Rice TerracesI. Script1533 miles away in southeast Yunnan, the locals have their own agricultural mountain to overcome--how to grow China?s greatest staple: rice. Here there?s plenty of water, but stopping it draining away is the problem.Thirteen hundred years ago the local Hani people miraculously transformed the landscape. To grow their crops, they hand carved rice paddies into the mountains to trap the water.“ We are able to enjoy such blessed lives todaythanks to our ancestors?hard work and endurance. ”Rising above 6000 feet and spreading over 30086 miles lager than the size of New York city, the terraces harness the power of the mountain?s natural ecosystem.“The local here have a saying:,the higher the mountains, the higher the water source?.The water stored in forests forms natural reservoirs.”It acts like a giant recycling machine. The water evaporates from the river valleys to form fog and cloud. The clouds are then trapped by the mountain forests, and then rainfalls and flows back down through the terraces in a never ending cycle.“ We are deeply connected to the terracesBecause. of the terraces, we are able to have food, clothing and shelter. The terraces are the foundation from which we are able to reproduce and survive. And they symbolize the strength and the spirit of the tribe. ”This type of wet-field agriculture was invented in China. And using these ancient farming traditions passed down through the generations, is how China feeds the biggest population on earth.I I .Translation两千五百公里外,东南部的云南省,当地的人们在发展农业上有其独特的艰难险阻 --即如何种植中国最重要的主食,大米。

Lesson 19 The Beach HolidayI. ScriptThe Chinese New Year takes place at the start of spring. For the new urban middle-class, the summer brings a new western-style holiday into their calendar, the beach holiday. And for the many landlocked Chinese, traveling to far-flung seaside resorts is not an option. The answer creates the world‟s largest artificial beach.800 miles inland from coastal China, the new Chinese middle class like to spend their leisure time by the water without having to travel miles to get to the beach. This artificial beach resort can hold up to 10,000 visitors. So successful, it‟s become a unique attraction in its own right and now draws visitors from as far and wide as Beijing 875 miles away. “We are friends who often travel together.”“Other friends recommended this place to us. We did more research on the internet and found out that the waters are good for our body and skin. Women at our age are very concerned about our skin. ” It‟s not just an artificial sea resort. There‟s one of the world‟s biggest indoor swimming pool here too. A giant wave machine is its main attraction. The Chinese name for this incredible sight is dumpling soup. “That was too exciting! We have not experienced something like this in decades. It‟s like going back to the time when I was in my twenties. This place is a children‟s playground. It allows us to relive our childhood! ”When the Chinese aren‟t splashing out on beach holidays, they‟re turning to television and cinema for their entertainment. China‟s movie m arket is now the world‟s second-largest with tens of thousands of cinema screens and homegrown production is booming.I I.T r a n s l a t i o n中国农历新年始伊始于春初。

Lesson 2. XishuangbannaI. ScriptIn the far southwest, bordering Myanmar and Laos, is Xishuangbanna known forits great river,home to the ancient Dai people. They observe a different calendar tothe rest of China,and in April celebrate their own version of the new year in a unique way. The festival all revolves around water. At this their hottest time of the year, it all begins with an epic 2000-year-old Dragon Boat Race.“I am Yan Honghan from Man Ching Village. We are preparing to head to theriver to take part in the yearly Dragon Boat Competition. This year the boat from our village is the largest among all the participants. We also have the most hands on deck. We are confident that we will win the race this year.”The whole festival kick starts in a distinctly Chinese Way with a bang. Firstprize is given to the fastest boat and that can be achieved with great wisdom and style. You could call it “showboating”.“Everyone has to follow the rhythm and tempo of the drummer. He will guide everyone to r ow in unison. Otherwise, there will be chaos and confusion.”Unfortunately, this year Yang’s boat was on the losing side.“I will definitely take part again next year. Because the dragon boat race is something every Dai man should take part in.” The festival continues the next day with the main event, perhaps the most epicwater fight on earth. Some 100,000 people gather here for the battle. You could sayit’s the ultimate Waterloo. Soaking your opponents on this grand scale has a religious to wash away the sorrows to past year and welcome the new. A tradition basis, it’shanded down for nine hundred years. By dusk the sorrows of the previous year have been well and truly washed away.As night falls the mighty Lancang River is host to one final ritual. Lightinglanterns has long been a Chinese tradition to ward off ghosts.I I.Translation在遥远的西南,毗邻缅甸和老挝,坐落着一个以其大河闻名的城市--西双版纳。

鸟瞰中国-China from Above(下)The Future Is NowTranslation中国,一个在二十一世纪开篇之际正经历一场新的文化革命的国家。

这次史诗般的空中旅程,将会展现一个日新月异的国家。

数百万的人为追求更好的生活而迁移到特大城市之中,其建筑速度开创记录,人工奇迹崛起于华夏大地的锦绣河山之上,饱含前沿科技的运输系统源源不断地投运,以满足两亿往返穿梭的中国人的需求。

中国的影响范围甚至延伸到了地球的轨道。

中国经历了前所未有的变化。

历经几个世纪的蛰伏,中国开始惊艳世界。

这绵延五千年的古老文明,突飞猛进。

在过去的三十年里,现代化速度超过世界上任何一个国家。

这飞速发展的核心地带,正是此城——上海。

这是如今中国最繁华的城市、金融中心、世界上最繁忙的港口。

两千四百万上海居民,说着他们自己的方言,依靠世界上最大的交通运输系统之一,往返穿梭。

正是这些拔地而起的摩天大楼,才真正吸引了全世界的目光。

其中也包括这样一个人:他毕生的工作就是记录这物换星移。

“这个城市建筑摄影对我来说呢,它既是工作,又是一个自己的爱好,是一种对于城市的一份情感。

”郑宪章花了二十年,以拍摄记录雨后春笋般崛起于上海的摩天大楼。

在1993年拍摄的这张照片里,上海几无摩天大楼,但是到了2014年,上海的摩天大楼数目已赶上东京。

“每次站在这个地方看,既看到城市的发展,又看到城市的文化、城市的历史。

这边是全新的,那边呢是我们的一些百年建筑。

从这个角度看过去,实际是看到一个城市的对比。

它是在发展,但是呢,很多好的那种传统的建筑文化的东西,它也在非常好的保留之中。

我今天拍的所有的照片,将来都是一个历史,这个呢是一个很有意义的东西。

”这种城市文化进程遍及整个中国,目前有六亿多人口分布在六百五十六个城市中,他们将促成与芝加哥同等规模城市的诞生,一年一座。

驱动城市爆炸性扩张所需的人力来自于辽阔中国的农村落后地区。

到2030年,预计有三亿五千万人,相当于美国人口总量,将会从农村迁移到城市。

ScriptIn the far northwestern province of Xinjiang, they’re employing a two thousand-year-old invention to harness the unusual climactic conditions across these enormous planes wind power.This modern wind farm alone has 300 turbines spreading across 50 miles.These giant wind farms are quickly coming online.China may have started late when it comes to wind energy.But since 2006,our production capability has been increasing rapidly.China can now power 110 million homes by harnessing the electricity generating power of the wind and in just five years it plans to double that. But the Space Age composite materials have to withstand extreme conditions.Wind blades,some as long as two hundred feet have to cope with temperature swings of 130 degrees and hurricane-force winds.We are currently conducting the fatigue test. The fatigue test simulates the equivalent of 20 years of usage on an epic feat in itself.The very wind that will be converted into precious electricity will make the raising of three 6 ton blades 230 feet in the air,extremely hazardous.It's a massive and yet precise operation for engineers.With the 32 to structure , dangerously exposed a sudden gusts of wind.They have to get the angle and positioning just right before the tower and turbine slot together just so.Incredibly,two man stand in the docking head 230 feet up to help the blades slot in.Higt-tech projects are not the only solution to China’s burgeoning demands.I I.Translation在那遥远的西北地区的新疆维吾尔自治区,他们采用了一种已有两千年历史的古老发明,以利用这遍布整个辽阔平原的非凡的气候条件,那就是风力。

鸟瞰中国-China from Above(上)The Living PastTranslation源远流长中国,一片广袤的土地,有着世界上最多元的文化,正绽放着前所未有的光芒。

这次史诗般美妙的空中之旅会向我们诉说:古老传统、工业工程、农业文明和自然奇景是如何描绘了当今中国的可爱面容。

在蛰伏了几个世纪以后,中国开始惊艳全世界。

中国拥有近十四亿人口,百分之九十二是汉族。

但在三百六十万平方英里的土地上仍生活着五十五个少数民族,说着一百二十种鲜活的语言。

这次旅行将跨越华夏广袤大地的山川和沙漠、河流和森林,向世界展示只有现今才开始闪耀的复杂文化的隐藏魅力。

在遥远的西南,毗邻缅甸和老挝,坐落着一个以其大河闻名的城市--西双版纳。

这是古老傣族人的家园,他们的日历计法与中国的其他部分不同。

在四月他们用一种独特的方式庆祝自己的新年。

整个节日以水为核心,在这一年中最火热的季节,拉开帷幕的是拥有两千余年传统的赛龙舟。

“我是曼听村的杨宏函,现在我们准备去那个江边,一年一度的那个划龙舟比赛。

我们这个村子里面的船,应该可以说是比赛船里最长的,可以差不多可以坐一百多个人。

然后今年我们力争拿到第一,打败去年的第一拿到第一名。

”伴随有鲜明中国气息的爆竹声,节日拉开帷幕。

头奖将给最快的船,夺冠需要极大的智慧和健美的形态。

你可以称其为“龙舟竞艺”。

“全部听那个敲锣的时候,一响一划嘛。

就是锣声一响就划一下,要不然就全乱了。

”遗憾的是,今年杨的船铩羽而归。

“明年我一定会来,因为这个划龙船应该说是每个傣族男人都应该参加的。

”节日第二天进入主题,或许这是世界上最声势浩大的水仗。

大约十万人为了打水仗聚集在这里,你可以称它为超级水战。

这场声势浩大的互相泼水有一个虔诚的目标,那就是洗净过去一年的悲伤,迎接美好的未来。

这个传统延续了九百多年。

日薄西山,先前的悲伤苦痛已被彻底洗净。

夜幕降临,澜沧江迎来了最后的仪式。

放飞孔明灯是有着悠久历史的中华传统,可以驱鬼祈福。

在遥远北方的嵩山有着亚洲最具标志意义的佛寺。

佛教不总是参禅冥想。

一千多年前,中国战争频发,僧人们需要学会保护自己。

传说,这个僻静的寺庙不仅是禅宗佛教的诞生地,这里也培育了传奇的少林和尚。

功夫和宗教的融合,一千五百年来,在僧人的有序领导下仍保持着蓬勃生机。

这促进了一百多部功夫电影的诞生,对全中国的学徒们仍有着莫大的吸引力。

“我今年十八岁了,来自安徽。

我是十三岁加入的少林寺。

我小时候有想过,想成为少林寺一员武僧。

”少林功夫的起源已在传说中遗失了,但是人们认为是最早入寺的两位中国和尚带来了武功绝学。

这些技巧和佛法融合锻造成了少林功夫。

“少林功夫和其他门派武术功夫不同之处就是它有了禅在里面。

那么‘禅’就是所谓的思维修养,所以是内在的。

”躯体和思想上的极致协调,让武僧成为了唐朝的一支重要战斗队伍。

在公元七世纪早期帮助李世民登上王位。

“你练一些东西感觉都不想练了,没办法还得继续去练。

我一定要练好比过那些师兄师弟们。

”“众多师兄弟里面他(闫飞)还是表现不错的,因为他特别的吃苦。

”今天,闫飞和他的武器师傅有场重要的比试,他必须证明他对精巧复杂的三节棍,也就是三节的棍子掌握娴熟,他以前败过一次。

“我起初练三节棍也有过很大的困难。

那时候是他在打我不是我在打他,也不是我在玩他是他在玩我,然后日积月累每天练就练好了。

”最终闫飞顺利完成了亟待通过的测试,夺得了胜利旗帜。

“中国有句话叫‘师傅领进门修行在个人’吧。

我只是能告诉他教他。

”少林遗产是奉献和专注。

当今这个古老的战斗传统已经不仅仅是中国的民间习俗,它也浸润了西方流行文化。

少林和尚是数不清的书籍、漫画和电影的灵感源泉,比如星球大战里的绝地武士。

中国是世界上佛教徒最多的国家,共有两千四百四十万佛教徒,佛文化在中国有着悠久的历史。

乐山大佛就是最好的写照,它是一座由山琢磨而成的巨大雕像,花了近百年的时间才完成。

在西南部的四川省,此地柔软的红沙成了中国古老奇迹的建造基础。

一千两百岁的乐山大佛,通高七十一米,是拉什莫尔山雕塑的四倍,是世界上最宏大的佛雕。

工人们祖孙三代不可思议地花了九十年,以凿山刻石雕出佛的巨像,仅一个中指就有三层楼高。

但为什么如此伟大的佛像会建造在这里呢?“乐山大佛它是在三江汇流的地方,这个水形成了一个大的漩涡。

以前啊,这里边就是经常打烂船、淹船,常常船毁人亡的这种情景。

所以海通和尚就在灵隐寺的对面修了一个大佛。

”雕刻大佛是为了照管保护水手和旅行者,其成功出人意料。

挖掘之时数百万立方英尺的石头落入水中,这不经意地改变了河流的路线,令它更加安全。

这已逾千年的工程壮举是在古代经济繁荣鼎盛时期完成的。

“每个时代有每一个不同的佛像。

唐代它的社会是非常发达的一个社会。

经济非常发达、生活非常富裕。

人画的比较肥胖、比较端庄肥胖一些,这就是唐代的特点,所以我们的大佛它有这个特点。

”六百四十公里外,在湖南的腹地坐落着另一个史诗级圣地。

但是这回却并非出自人类手笔,而是大自然的鬼斧神工。

天门山,也是通往天堂的大门。

想要到达那里,首先得开车经过世界上最危险的公路:通天大道。

短短十公里,竟有九十九道弯,能爬升九百米的高度。

第一站是张家界的山笋峰林,万千险峰高耸入云,高达三个帝国大厦。

有此奇景令人屏息,它是电影《阿凡达》中外星风貌的创作灵感,也是一个吸引世界各地人们来此的地理奇观。

为了满足每年三千万人次的游客,中国修建了世界上最高的户外电梯。

它有一百层三百三十米高,扶摇直上,直达奇峰顶端。

“我们这看到的就是比较坚硬的那层石英砂,下面的这一层是比较软的一层。

当然这的地貌就是由这样的两种岩型一层一层的堆叠起来的。

”为了到达他们动人心弦的目的地,这个小组搭上了世界上最长的索道,以惊心动魄之方式跨越七千米再攀上一千九百九十层阶梯,最终能够到达他们心驰神往之地。

“这就是张家界著名的景点―天门洞。

”这自然的鬼斧神工被视作通天之门。

“其实世界上的天生桥的类型很多,但它的高度是在这个世界上也都是非常少见的。

经过自己的努力和跋涉看到了这样的美景。

我觉得这是最愉快的事情!”有一个依靠人工拔地而起的伟大建筑,就是中国长城。

这个一万三千英里长的屏障是华夏人民亲手而建以御外敌。

泱泱华夏并非总如今日般歌舞升平。

曾几何时,四夷乱华,战火纷飞。

她曾注定会是一个内部战争不断的国家,直到有一个人决定要修筑世界上最大的人工建筑。

中国长城,这世界上最长的建筑,东起渤海之滨,西至大漠戈壁,各个部分互相连结蜿蜒一万三千英里,比南北美的总长更长。

公元前221年,秦始皇决定抛弃矛盾,上下一心以御外敌。

他下令将现存和的防御工事筑为一体,成为长城。

“长城的一些作用,还有在现在来说基本上就没什么作用,但是在古代是一个比较有防御性质的一个战争的堡垒。

然后感觉得到那种长城的伟大。

”当今仍有每年一千万人的游客慕名而来,而大多数都是中国游客,因为中国有句古话:“不到长城非好汉。

”来自天涯海角的人们来到这里,向保卫了自己国家的伟大的古老工程致敬。

“在这个,中国万里长城全世界的人都比较知道,更让中国人自豪,更让我们身为工作者在长城上班的人感到自豪。

”向西二百三十公里,在山西省,另一个中华历史的不朽丰碑毅然挺立。

恒山悬空寺攀附于峭壁之上一千五百年,上百万的游客可以同时拜访长城,然而悬空寺同一时间只能容纳八十人。

而为什么有可能被滚落山下的坠石破坏的情况下,古人还要建造出这样一座寺庙呢?因为迷信。

“他这个地方经常发洪水的,当时人不留神就给卷走了,这是传说有些百姓要在这建一个寺庙吧,让佛的力量来保护我们平平安安的走过去。

”在峡谷之上七十五米,上下悬空,使寺庙免于风吹雨打、水淹土埋。

水平和竖直上的基础,是由手工楔入山中,嵌入山岩的网状硬木梁支持了三栋楼和四十多个房间。

“那个悬空寺为了他的延年益寿啊,我们现在啊,本来悬空寺登顶的人太多,我们保护的办法就是减少登顶的人数。

”因其闻名遐迩,保护寺庙似乎是个不可能的任务,但常水文并不为所惧:“这个悬空寺伴随了我的一生,我觉得我取得的很多成绩,在工作上,在生活上,都离不开这个悬空寺。

”流传了几个世纪的文化成为了中国令人难以置信的人口增长的关键所在。

对古老工程技术的沿用使得数百年来哺育不断增长的百万人口成为可能,为了这个被将近十四亿人称作为家的国度。

中国最大的难题便是如何哺育过亿的人口。

在中国仅有百分之十一的土地能用来种植作物,数百年来生活在偏远地区的人们必须想出独具一格的方法才能让土地得到最大限度的利用。

吐鲁番是维吾尔族人的家园,俯瞰吐鲁番是一片荒芜干燥的沙漠,数千个神秘的麻斑星罗棋布,这些洞是绵延至少两千多年的地下水系统,比整个印度还长。

坎儿井运河系统由数千个深入大地的水平井而后由长度超过三千英里的运河连接,将一百六十公里外的天山冰川融水引入他们的田野和村庄。

这是一项至今仍在沿用的尖端古老工程,灌溉了这片原本会是一片尘土的大地。

这不仅仅关乎能喝上干净的水.难以置信的是,这片沙漠每年生产成吨的葡萄。

没有了运河,维吾尔族的主要出口商品便会在这藤上枯萎凋零。

从空中鸟瞰便可得见这生产的真实规模。

这些泥砖块也许看起来像蜂窝,但它们是用来将数以百万计的葡萄风干成葡萄干的。

并未假以现代材料和技术,古人就能充分利用并且战胜自然。

两千五百公里外,东南部的云南省,当地的人们在发展农业上有其独特的艰难险阻--即如何种植中国最重要的主食,大米。

在这里有大量的水资源,但是阻止水资源枯竭是一个大问题。

一千三百年前,当地哈尼族人奇迹般的将这片大地改造。

为了种植庄稼,他们用双手在一座座山上造出梯田,以此蓄水肥田。

“我们之所以能享受今天幸福的生活,多亏了我们祖先的努力和坚持。

”整个梯田势拔一千八百米,方圆七万八千平方公里,大过整个纽约城。

梯田利用了山区自然生态系统的力量。

“在我们这里有句老话说‘山越高,水越多’。

水资源储存在森林中,形成了天然水库。

”其运作就像一个巨大的循环再造机。

水从河谷中蒸发,形成雾气和云雾,被山林吸收再以降雨和流水的形式流回梯田,如此不停歇的循环往复。

“我们与梯田有着很深的联系,因为有了梯田,我们才有了食物,衣服和庇护所。

梯田是我们繁衍生存的根基。

它们象征着力量和部落的生机勃勃。

”这种蓄水农耕的农业类型正是在中国发明的,也正是这种世代传下来的古老的农耕传统使得中国得以哺育这世界上最庞大的人口。

位于中国东部海岸的福建霞浦县,一直以来是渔民的家园。

但是在这儿,有人转为种植庄稼。

这种庄稼并非生长于大地上,而是繁盛在水波之下。

这些水藻被称作是巨型海带.“用手拉上来,一条一条拉上来。

”在东部海域的暖水里,海带在冬天生长。

及春,它们将被挂在竹竿上晾干,以备收获。

“今年雨水太多,这些海带都烂掉了,今年收成跟往年要差了三分之一。

”虽然今年由于雨水过于丰沛,影响到了晾干的进程,但其产业仍在迅猛爆发之中。
