沙尘暴是带有沙石和尘土的强大而干燥的风。沙尘暴通常很浓密以至于人们都看不见太阳,有时候,风的强度大到可以掀动沙丘。
The four main places in the world where there are sandstorms are Central Asia, North America, Central Africa and Australia. Ren Jianbo, from Inner Mongolia described a terrible sandstorm he experienced as a child in the desert.
世界上四个主要的有沙尘暴的地方是:亚洲中部、北美、非洲中部和澳大利亚。来自内蒙古的任建波描述了他小时候在沙漠中经历过的一次严重的沙尘暴,

古代中国各诸侯国之间经常发生战争。但那也是一个产生了许多哲学家的时期。孔子(公元前551--公元前479)是影响最大的哲学家。

自小就丧父,他母亲把他抚养成人。他成为儒家弟子,并在一个国家政府谋得很重要的职位。
However, when he saw that the ruler was not following his advice, he resigned. For many years he travelled from state to state, teaching the principles of Confucius. He then became an adviser to another ruler.

MODULE 6 Old and New古今鉴

Now answer the questions before reading the passage.阅读文章之前,现在先回答下列问题。
Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of “walls of stone …”
Did Mao Zedong actually see the walls of stone?
毛泽东写过一首词,在词中,他想象了“更立西江石壁……”,毛泽东真的看到石壁了吗?
The power of the Yangtze River has been harnessed by the Three Gorges Dam.
Does this mean that the power can be used or not?三峡大坝利用了长江水的动力。这意味着这个水力可以利用还是不可以利用?
Sun Yat-sen first suggested the idea in 1919. Did Sun Yat-sen think of the idea himself or hear it from someone else?在1919年,孙中山首次提出这个想法。这个想法是孙中山自己想出来的还是在别人那里听说的?
About 800 historical relics have been submerged. Is it possible to see the relics now that they have been submerged?大约有800个历史遗迹被水淹没。既然被水淹没了,那么现在还有可能看到这些历史遗物吗?
The Three Gorges Dam三峡大坝
“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain”“更立西江石壁,截断巫山云雨”
Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of “Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges”.
毛泽东写过一首词,在词中,他想象了“更立西江石壁,截断巫山云雨,高峡出平湖”的壮丽景观。
Now his d

ream has come true. The power of the Yangtze River, which is the world's third longest river, has been harnessed by the Three Gorges Dam.
如今,他的理想变成了现实,世界第三长河——长江的水力已经被三峡大坝很好地利用了。
The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest construction project in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built to control flooding and provide hydro-electric power for the central region of China.
三峡大坝是中国自万里长城和京杭大运河以来最大的建筑工程,它是作为防洪大坝和中国巨型水利枢纽而建的。
The dam is nearly 200 metres high and 1.5 kilometres wide. It is the largest hydro-electric power station and dam in the world and has cost more than any other construction project in history.
大坝高约200米,宽约1.5千米,是世界上最大的水力发电站和水坝,耗资超过历史上其他所有的建筑工程。
Sun Yat-sen, who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution, first suggested the ides of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919. Three quarters of China's energy is produced by burning coal.
孙中山是1911年的革命领袖,他在1919年最先提出横跨长江建立大坝的想法。中国四分之三的能源是通过燃煤获得的。
In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating and generating electricity. Unfortunately, burning coal causes serious air pollution and increases global warming.
1993年,中国燃掉了12亿吨煤用于供热和发电。遗憾的是,燃煤造成严重的空气污染并使得全球变暖。
The dam will generate electricity equal to about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.
大坝将要生产相当于燃烧4000万吨煤所产生的电量,但却不会造成那么严重的空气污染。
The reservoir has flooded 2 cities, 11 counties, 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages.
水库淹没了2个城市、11个县市、140个城镇和4000多个村庄,
More than a million people who lived in the region have moved from their homes.
超过一百万住在这个地区的人们离开了他们的家乡。
Now they're living a happy new life in different areas.
现在,他们在不同的地区过着幸福的生活。
The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China and the project has flooded some of China's most famous historical sites, including the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower and the Moya Cliff carvings.
三峡坝区是中国最美丽的地方之一,三峡工程淹没了一些中国著名历史遗迹,包括屈原祠、汉阙、 摩崖石刻。
About 800 historical relics have been submerged. Some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.
