鸟瞰中国-ChinafromAbove(上)_13.HeavenlyHorseFestival(词汇、脚本、翻译)

China, a vast land, with one of the most diverse cultures on earth, now revealed like never before, this epic journey from the air would discover how ancient traditions, engineering, agriculture, and natural wonders shaped this great nation and continue to forge modern-day china. After centuries in seclusion ,china is now revealed.China, a land of nearly 1.4 billion people, ninety-two percent are Han Chinese, but across its 3.6 million square miles, there are 55 other ethnic groups, speaking 120 living languages.This areal journey will cross china ' s immense interior of mountains and deserts, mighty rivers and great forests to reveal a hidden culture of great complexity, only now opening up for the world to see.In the far southwest, bordering Myanmar and Laos is Xi Shuang Ban Na known for its great river. Home to the ancient Dai people, they observe a different calendar to the 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 200-year-old Dragon Boat Race.The whole festival kick starts in a distinctly Chinese way with a bang. First prize is given to the fastest boat and that can be achieved with great wisdom and style. You couldcall it “show boating ” . Unfortunately this yYang's boat was on the losing side.The festival continues the next day with the main event, perhaps the most epic water fight on earth. Some 100,000 people gather here for the battle, youcould say it 's the ultimate waterloo. Soaking your opponents on this grandscale has a religious basis. It ' s to wash away the sorrows from the past yeaand welcome the new.A tradition handed down for nine hundred years. By dusk the sorrow of the previous year have been well and truly washed away. As night falls the mighty Lan Cang River is host to one final ritual. Lighting lanterns has long been a Chinese tradition to ward off ghosts.Far to the north in Song Shan mountain, is one of the most iconicBuddhist monasteries in Asia. The Buddhism wasn ' t always about peaceful meditation. More than a millennium ago, its priests had to learn how to defend themselves in China ' s warlike past.According to legend, this secluded monastery is not the birthplace of Zen Buddhism. Here trained the legendary Shaolin monks. This 15 thousand years old fusion of Kung Fu and religion is kept alive by the neat order of monks that inspired over a hundred martial arts movies. And it still attracts Kung Fu apprentices from all over China.The origins of the order are lost in legends. But it ' s believed the Chinese disciples to join the monastery bought martial arts skills with them. Those skills were blended with Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu was born. This balance between mastery of the mind and body made the monks a key fighting force during the Tang Dynasty, helping emperor Lee Shi Min to seize the throne in the early 7th century.Today Yan Fei has a crucial assessment sparring with his weapons master.He must prove proficient with the complex San Jie Gui, also known as the triple stick. He 's already failed this once before. In the end Yan passes this most demanding of tests with flying colors.Shao Lin s legacy is monastic dedication and focus. Today this ancient fightingtradition is not just part of Chinese folk law, but has seeped into western popular culture too. Shaolin monks are the inspiration for countless books, comics and movies like the Jedi Knights of Star Wars.China ' s 244 million Buddhists the world ' s largest population have a lohistory in Chinese culture. This is symbolized best by the Les Shan Buddha, an immense statue carved from a mountain. That took nearly a century to complete.In the southwest province of Sichuan, the soft red sandstone of the region became the foundation for one of the great ancient wonders of China. The twelve hundred years old Le Shan Buddha, at 233 feet four times the height of the Mount Rushmore carvings. It's the world's largest Buddhist statue.It took three generations of workers and incredible 90 years to chip away into mountain and complete this colossus. The middle finger alone is the height of a three- story building.But why was this exceptionally large monument of Buddha built here.Carve to watch over and provide protection for travelers and sailors. This edifice succeeded but not by design. During excavation millions of cubic feet of stone what dumped into the water which inadvertently change the course of the river making it safer. This millennia old engineering feat was built to the time when this ancient economy was booming too.400 miles away, deep in the heart to the Hunan Province is another epic holy site.But this time formed without human hands. A natural formation shaped by the area ' sunusual geology. Tian Men mountain known as theheaven ' s gate cave. To get here, you must first drive one of the world dangerous roads,the Tong Tian Highway.Marked by 99 short bends in just over six miles, it climbs over 3,000 vertical feet.The first stop, the mountain forests of Zhang Jia Jie. Thousand of precarious peaks reach out up to three times the height to the Empire State Building. It ' s breathtaking mystical scene the provided inspiration for the alien landscapes of the movie Avatar, a wonder of geology that draws people from all over the world.To cope with a 30 million annual visitors, the Chinese have built the world s highest outdoor elevator. The 100 dragons lift, ascends a vertiginous one thousand feet to the top of the jutting stones.To reach their final dramatic destination, the class catches the world longest cable way, a heart-stopping ride more than four miles long and then they climb 999 steps to reach at last their final destination. This epic natural feature was seen to be a gateway to paradiseOne great structure that didn ' t rise naturally from the earth is China Great Wall. This thirteen thousand mile barrier was built by Chinese hands to protect the people from invading armiesChina wasn ' t always the peaceful nation it is today. Once upon a time is was all-out war between competing ethnic groups. It was destinated to be a nation of constant war with itself until one man decided to build the world largest man-made structure, the Great Wall of China. The longest man-made structure on earth runs from the pacific ocean to the Gobi Desert, laid out its individual sections stretch for 13,000 miles. Longer than thelength of North and South America combined.In 221BC the first emperor of China decided to stop the constant conflict by uniting the country against foreign invaders. He ordered existing and scattered fortifications to be connected into one Great Wall.Today the horde still descend on the wall ten million annually, but the vast majority are Chinese tourists as a local saying goes “ one who fails to r Great Wall is not a true man ” . From all corners of the country they come to pay tribute to an antient feat of engineering that shaped their nation.145 miles west in Shan Xi province, another monument to China ' s past is hanging on, clinging to this cliff for fifteen hundred years, the hanging temples of Hengshan. While millions visit The Great Wall, at any one time only eighty people are allowed inside this temple, but why did he ancients build a temple that could be dashed on the rocks below? Superstition.246 feet above the canyon floor, it was built beneath and overhang to shelter it from the elements. Horizontal and vertical foundations were hand chiseled into the mountain and a grid of hard wood beams inserted to support three buildings and more that 40 rooms. Protecting the site from its own popularity is a seemingly impossible task. But Chang Shui Wen is undaunted.Passing down centuries-old knowledge has been critical to China ! incredible population growth. Feeding the growing millions over the centuries was only possible due to ancient engineering projects still use today for the nearly 1.4 billion whocall this country, home.It' s the great Chinese riddle, how do you feed more than a billion people?Only 11 percent to the country can be used to grow food. Over the centuries, those living in remotest places have had to come up with an ingenious methods to make the most of the land.Turpan, home of the Uygur people, seen from the air is a dry and desolate dessert, dotted by thousands mysterious pock marks, holes that lead to a two thousand-year-old subterranean systems. That ' s longer than the length of InThe Karez canal network.A thousand horizontal wells have sunk into the earth and then connected by canals over 3,000 miles in length, directing water from the Tian Shan mountain glaciers 100 miles to the north to their fields and villages. It was cutting edge ancient engineering that still works today, irrigating a land the would otherwise be a giant dust bowl.It's not just about clean drinking water, incredibly, this desert produces tons of grapes annually. Without the canals, the Uygur ' s major export wither on the vine. And the true scale of production is revealed from the air. They may look like honeycomb bit these mud brick blocks are used to air dry millions of grapes into raisins. Without modern materials and technology, the ancients triumphed turning nature to their advantage.1,533 miles away in southeast Yunnan the locals have their own agricultural mountain to overcome. How to grow China ' s greatest staple rHere 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 mountain to trap the water.Rising above 6,000 feet and spreading over 300,86 square miles, larger that the size of New York City. The terraces harness the power of the mountain ' s ecosystem. It acts like a giant recycling machine. The water evaporates from the river valleys to form fog and cloud. The clouds then trapped by the mountain forests and then rainfalls and flows back down through the terraces in a never ending cycle.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.Xia Pu county on the East China Coast has traditionally been home to a fishing community. But here some have turned to farming a crop that doesn grow on land but well below the waves. The seaweed called giant kelp.In the warm waters of the East China Sea the kelp is grown through the winter and then in spring hung to dry on bamboo poles before being harvested. Despite this year' s rain adversely affecting the dry process, the industry is booming. As a food source, kelp, a rich and sustainable crop is in demand. For the exfishermen of Xia Gu, their returns justified the back breaking work. For the country it ' s a way to feed the ever-growing masses without using the overpopulated land.In some part of China farming wasn t an option so they turned to trainingwild animals to catch food. In the far northwest province of Xinjiang Qin He county, building rice terraces is not an option due to the climate.In this rugged landscape food is scarce, made worse by harshest of winters. To survive, the local Kazakhs depend on a tradition more than a thousand years old. To do something most would imagine impossible. To train a wild eagle to hunt.The Golden Eagle one of the world ' s most effective birds of prey. They can spy a rabbit at 2,000 yards and dive at a hundred and fifty miles per hour, the speed of a bullet train. And its talents, grip with ten times the force a man hand. Catching their food in this ingenious way has kept small villages from destitution. But it also helps to protect the species that ' s now end Mature adults are released back into the wild and act as resonates with the Kazakh belief that eagles are symbol of freedom and their numbers in the region are reportedly once again on the rise.It isn ' t just growing food as a trial of ingenuity in some parts of China. It just living there. 1700 miles southeast in Yunnan province is the parallel rivers National Park. Here Asia ' s three greatest rivers run side by side, creating aspectacular landscape. From alpine peaks to steamy valley, it ' s a be challenging place to live. But the locally Li Su people have been living here for more than a thousand years, adapting to living around these giant natural barriers.Here taking a trip to the market is not as simple as it seems. It involves at deathdefying slide. Ziplining across several hundred feet of wild rapids doesn ' t bother 60-year-old grandmother Pu. She s been doing it all her lifeThis ingenious method now replaced with modern steel cable is the fastest way to make it across and a thrilling ride over the dangerous rapids.At the market grandmother Pu is rewarder with a quick sale. Life is very tough here. It ' s a world away from modern city life that her grandson maybeone day like millions of others decide to join. And for grandmother Pu, ziplining to and rom the village is one of the life ' s small pleasures.The Chinese people aren 't just goo at taming the landscape to their needs, the Kazak people were among the first humans to tame wild horses which they still do to these days.China ' s wild and varied land has helped to shape nation and its people form the remote mountains Hani to the multitude Han in the cities of the east, from the Dai of the steamy South to the desert dwelling Uygur. China and customs hidden from view for thousands of years are slowly being revealed to the world.In the farthest reaches of Xinjiang province is Zhao Su county. A land as remote as you can imagine with huge explains covering four thousand square miles. This is the home of the Kazaks. And it was here 5,500 years ago the Kazaks began to tame wild horses. The Kazaks have a millennia old reputation for breeding some other Asia' s best war horses. Today, the horses are bred and trained for the highly competitive annual event known as the heavenly horse festival.This year Tuoliewu ' s son will be racing for the first time. The enduranceevent is a grueling and even dangerous three-day race. The race begins. On day onethey cover 50 miles and on day three they endure a testing sixty-two mile final leg. ForAiniware and the Kazaks people this is not just a race but a chance to proudly display their horses and their skill homed over centuries.After 62 mile in the saddle he finally finishes toward the back of the field. But next year he ' ll return with dreams of winning.Across the country, in the far northeast, people of Harbin aren ! in age-old tradition like the Kazaks. They ' re creating their own history toon. Renowned as the Ice City in China , it can reach minus 38 degrees Fahrenheit in Winter. Nearly 10,000 workers have been dragging and cutting giant blocks of ice from the frozen Songhua river. 550 pound ice cubes. This is a new festival but based on the 1t7h century tradition.When fishermen carved lanterns from ice, over the next week artists will race to transform this plentiful local resource into a giant frozen wonderland. The Harbin ice and snow festival. This event has grown into the largest Ice Festival in the world. Opening day is here. A city of ice has risen, covering an size of a 150 football fields. But it ' s the night which sees the Ice City in i splendor.By standing on the shoulders of their ancestors, Chinese agriculture and engineering traditions become a nation. That ' s developed from a poor rura back water to one of the fastest developing countries in the history of mankind.But what does the future hold for china on the threshold the 2s1t century?How will China tackle modern issues as energy and overpopulation and how does a nation have nearly 1.4 billion people work and play?。

[纪录⽚]鸟瞰中国——ChinafromAbove上周末我看了⼀部纪录⽚《鸟瞰中国》，觉得特别有意思，想要分享给你。

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.。

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。

Lesson 10. Kelp FarmI.ScriptXiapu County on the East China Coast, has traditionally been home to a fishing community. But here some have turned to farming a crop that does not grow on land but well below the waves--the seaweed called giant kelp.“ Thisis how we do it rope after rope.The pulling is all done manually. ”In the warm waters of the East China Sea the kelp is grown through the winter and then in spring hung to dry on bamboo poles before being harvested.“ There is too much rainfall this yeasr,o the seaweed has rotted. Our harvest this year is 30% less than that of last year. ”Despite this year ' s rain adversely affecting the dry process, the industry is booming. As a food source, kelp a rich and sustainable crop is in demand. For the ex-fisherman of Xiapu, their returns justified the back-breaking work. For the country it is a way to feed theever-growing masses without using the overpopulated land.I I .Tr anslation位于中国东部海岸的福建霞浦县，一直以来是渔民的家园。

Lesson 12 ZipliningI.

鸟瞰中国（上集）：源远流长中国，这片广袤的土地，孕育了世界上最多元的文化之一。

我们将以一种前所未有的视角，通过这趟非凡的空中之旅，为您展现古老传统，工程技术，农业文明以及自然奇观。

是如何造就了这个伟大国度，又是如何继续塑造现代化中国的。

经过几个世纪的韬光养晦，中国如今正在华丽绽放！中国有着将近14亿人口，其中92%是汉族。

在这片960多万平方公里的广袤土地上，还生活着55个少数民族。

他们仍在使用的语言，多达120种，这趟空中之旅将带您穿越中国境内巍峨的高山和无垠的沙漠，宽广的河流和茂密的森林，神秘而多元的中国文化，如今将呈现在世界眼前。

坐落在中国西南边陲，毗邻缅甸和老挝的西双版纳，因壮阔的澜沧江而闻名于世，这里是傣族人世世代代的家园。

他们遵循着与中国其他民族不同的历法。

每年四月，傣族人都会以独特的方式来庆祝他们的新年。

在这一年中最热的时节，所有庆祝活动都围绕水来展开。

始于2000年前的赛龙舟，拉开了节日的序幕。

12个村子，12条龙舟，600多位参赛选手。

我是曼听村的岩汗罕，现在我们准备去那个江边。

一年一度的划龙舟比赛，我们这个村子里的船，应该是可以说是比赛船里面最长的。

差不多可以坐100多个人，今年我们力争拿到第一，打败去年的第一拿到第一名。

整个庆祝活动，伴随着独具中国特色的爆竹声，拉开帷幕。

划的最快的船队将获得头奖，而这需要队员们配合节奏，动作整齐划一，这也可以说是一场龙舟秀。

全部听那个敲锣的指挥，一响一划，就是锣声就划一下。

要不然就全乱了，很遗憾，岩洪罕的队伍，今年没能赢得比赛。

明年我一定会来，因为这划龙船，应该说是每个傣族男人都应该参加的。

龙舟赛落下帷幕，接下来要举办宗教活动，我们要去参加一个非常重要的活动。

叫浴佛。

是大家在佛爷的带领下，念经祈祷为佛像沐浴。

水是整个节日的主题，对傣族人来说，这象征着美好的愿望和心灵的净化。

完成浴佛仪式后，到了人们尽情放松的时候。

这或许是世界上规模最浩大的打水仗。

航拍中国英语作文Aerial China: A Bird's Eye View of the Land of the DragonFrom the majestic peaks of the Himalayas to the bustling streets of Shanghai, China is a tapestry of landscapes and cultures that is as diverse as it is breathtaking. Embark on a journey through the skies, where the camera soars above the land, capturing the essence of this ancient yet modern nation in a way that is both awe-inspiring and intimate.As we ascend, the Great Wall of China unfurls beneath us, a snaking testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of its builders, a silent guardian of the land that has witnessed countless tales of triumph and tragedy. The sun casts a golden glow on the ancient bricks, each one a piece ofhistory that speaks to the resilience of a civilization that has endured for millennia.Further west, the Tibetan Plateau stretches out, a vast expanse of untouched beauty where the air is thin and the sky is an endless canvas of blues. Here, the Potala Palace stands as a beacon of spiritual devotion, its white walls and red roofs a stark contrast against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains.Descending towards the heart of the country, the Yellow River meanders through the fertile plains, a lifeline to the people and the land. Its banks are lined with fields ofgolden wheat, a symbol of prosperity and the hard work of the farmers who have tilled these lands for generations.In the coastal regions, the contrast is striking. The skyscrapers of Shenzhen and Guangzhou pierce the skyline, a symbol of China's rapid economic growth and technological advancement. Yet, just beyond the urban sprawl, the lush greenery of the Pearl River Delta offers a serene retreat, a reminder of the natural beauty that coexists with the man-made marvels.As we glide over the rice paddies of the Yangtze River Delta, the reflection of the setting sun paints the water with hues of pink and orange, creating a tranquil scene that is a world away from the city's hustle and bustle. The rice terraces of Yunnan province, carved into the hillsides by hand, reveal the harmony between human endeavor and the natural world.China's vastness is a feast for the eyes, and from this aerial perspective, we see not just a country, but a world within itself. Each region, each city, each village tells a story, and together they weave the rich tapestry of a nation that is as complex as it is captivating. This is China, seen from above, a land of contrasts and connections, of the old and the new, and of the enduring spirit of a people who continue to shape their destiny.。
