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 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China, a country with a rich history and diverse culture. From a bird's-eye view, it is a land of contrasts and contradictions.

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.

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。
