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。

鸟瞰中国英文作文
鸟瞰中国英文作文China, a country with a rich history and diverse culture. From a bird's-eye view, it is a land of contrasts and contradictions. The bustling streets of Shanghai,filled with skyscrapers and neon lights, stand in stark contrast to the serene beauty of the Great Wall. This diversity is what makes China so fascinating.In the north, the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see. Its barren landscape is a testament to the harshness of nature. Yet, amidst this desolation, there is a sense of tranquility that can only be found in such solitude.Moving southwards, the landscape transforms into lush green fields and rice paddies. The rural countryside is a stark contrast to the urban jungle. Here, time seems to slow down, and the pace of life becomes more relaxed. Farmers toil in the fields, and the air is filled with the scent of freshly harvested crops.As we venture further east, we encounter the majestic Yangtze River. Its waters flow through the heart of China, providing life and sustenance to millions. The river is a lifeline, connecting cities and villages, and serving as a source of inspiration for poets and artists throughout the ages.In the west, the towering peaks of the Himalayas dominate the landscape. These majestic mountains are a symbol of China's strength and resilience. They stand as a reminder of the country's rich history and the challenges it has overcome.In the south, the vibrant city of Hong Kong is a melting pot of cultures and influences. Its bustlingstreets are filled with a mix of Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. The city is a testament to China's openness to the world and its ability to adapt and thrive in a globalized society.From the bird's-eye view, China is a tapestry ofdifferent landscapes, cultures, and traditions. It is a country that embraces both its ancient heritage and its modern aspirations. It is a place where the old and the new coexist, and where diversity is celebrated. China, truly a land of contrasts and contradictions.。

I I.T r a n s l a t i o n
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，正式多亏了我们祖先的坚持和努力。
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，我们的食物，衣物和庇护所全都依赖于此。
梯田是我们繁衍生存的根基。
他们象征着力量和部落的精神。
”
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。
