lecture6译文（1）WuxiWuxi is a small city in Jiangsu Province of the South, situated between Nanjing and Shanghai. As early as 6,000 years ago, there had been a primitive tribe settled here. Today' s Wuxi began to be built in the second century B.C. At that time tin ore was excavated from Xishan southwest of the city. After the discovery of tin, people started to call this place"Youxi". As time passed by, the tin mine ran out and "Youxi" was changed to "Wuxi". Wuxi is a small city in South China' s Jiangsu Province, located mid-way between Nanjing and Shanghai. Established as early as 6,000 years ago by a primitive clan tribe, the present city was first built in the second century B.C. when tin was mined from a hill in the southwest named Xishan. After tin was discovered there, the place began to be called Youxi, literally "has tin", and with the passage of time, the tin was mined out and the name was changed to Wuxi, meaning "no tin".Wuxi faces the Taihu Lake in the south and leans against the Huishan Mountain in the west, both of which are the major local scenic spots. Besides, the old Jing-Hang Grand Canal and the Jing-Hu Railway pass through here. Wuxi is bordered by Taihu Lake on the south, and Huishan Hill in the west. They are the major scenic spots there. In addition, the ancient Grand Canal from Beijing to Hangzhou was dug to run through the city, as was the Beijing-Shanghai Railway.As one of the five large freshwater lakes in China, the T aihu Lake has a water area of 36,000 square hectares, with about 100 small islands and 72 mountain peaks along its shore. Several thousand years ago, here used to be a shallow water bend. Lateron the Changjiang Delta gradually expanded and connected with the dikes and dams in the gulf, thus forming an interior lake and turning the original isles into mountain peaks. With its misty water, the Taihu Lake is surrounded by grotesque peaks. This nature-made scenery of lakes and mountains is so beautiful that one simply cannot take them all in. The Taihu Lake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. Covering a water area of 36,000 hectares, it has scores of islets and 72 peaks along its banks. Thousands of years ago, the lake was a shallow bay. Later the gradually expanding Yangtse Delta linked with the dykes in the bay and turned it into an inland lake and the original islets into the peaks along the water. The mist-covered surface of the water and surrounding peaks make Taihu a splendid natural landscape of mountains and lakes.The part of the Grand Canal in Wuxi is 40 kilometres long, of which 14.6 kilometres is in the urban area. With a history of over 2,400 years, this green chain of water is still running merrily, with many places of historic interest and scenic beauty along its bank. The cutting of this canal dated back to the 5th century B.C. and its full length is 1,794 kilometres. Like the 10-thousand-li Great Wall, it is also the symbol of China's ancient civilization. The Wuxi section of the Grand Canal is 40 kilometres long, with 14.6 kilometres in the city area. With a history of more than 2,400 years, this green belt of water still flows pleasantly with many scenic spots and historical sites on both banks. The Grand Canal was first dug in the 5th century B.C. and is 1,794 kilometres. Like the Great Wall, this project is a symbol of ancient Chinese civilization.The Canal is both narrow and deep in Wuxi, and along the two banks there are rows of old-style dwelling houses with greentiles and white walls. The canal at Wuxi is narrow and deep, and row upon row of old residential buildings with white walls and black tiles stand along both sides.Every year there are many tourist activities in Wuxi and from 8th to 14th this October, there will be a "Wuxi Taihu International Fishing Competition, "which can be entered for by both individuals and groups, professionals and amateurs. Wuxi arranges many tourist programmes each year and during the coming October 8--14, there is a"Wuxi Taihu International Angling T ournament". Catering to both professionals and amateurs, the contest can either be entered in group or singles.译文二WuxiWuxi is a small city in South China' s Jiangsu Province, located mid-way between Nanjing and Shanghai.
