鸟瞰中国-ChinafromAbove(上)_2.Xishuangbanna(词汇、脚本、翻译)

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。

Lesson 13 Heavenly Horse FestivalI. ScriptThe Chinese people aren’t just good at taming the landscape to their needs.The Kazak people were among the first humans to tame wild horses which they still do toshape a nation and its people.this day.China’s vast and varied land has helpedFrom the remote mountain Hani to the multitude Han in the cities of east ,fromthe Dai of the steamy South to the desert dwelling Uygur. China’s culture and customs hidden from view for thousands of years are slowly being revealed to the world.In the farthest reaches of Xinjiang province is Zhaosu County.A land as remote as you could imagine with huge expansive plains covering four thousand square miles.This isthe home of the Kazaks and it was here 5,500 years ago the kazaks began to tame wild horses.We Kazakhs lead a rural nomadic life ,this lifestyle requires us to have good horsemanship skills from an early age.The kazaks have a millennia old reputation fored and trained for breeding some other Asia’s best war horses.Today,the horses are brthe highly competitive annual event known as the heavenly horse festival.This year Tuo Lueson will be racing for the first time.Form an early age it has been my dream to be in this race.The endurance event is a grueling and even dangerous three-day race.My only wish is that my son comes back safely.Winning is not everything.The race begins,on day one they cover 50 miles and on day three they endure a testing sixty-two mile leg.For ainiware and the Kazak people this is not just a race buta chance to proudly display their horses and their skill homed over centuries. After 62 miles in the saddle he finally finishes towards the back of the field ,but next year hewith dreams of winning.I I.Translation中国人并不是只擅长改造环境来满足自己。

鸟瞰中国-China from Above（下）The Future Is NowTranslation中国，一个在二十一世纪开篇之际正经历一场新的文化革命的国家。

这次史诗般的空中旅程，将会展现一个日新月异的国家。

数百万的人为追求更好的生活而迁移到特大城市之中，其建筑速度开创记录，人工奇迹崛起于华夏大地的锦绣河山之上，饱含前沿科技的运输系统源源不断地投运，以满足两亿往返穿梭的中国人的需求。

中国的影响范围甚至延伸到了地球的轨道。

中国经历了前所未有的变化。

历经几个世纪的蛰伏，中国开始惊艳世界。

这绵延五千年的古老文明，突飞猛进。

在过去的三十年里，现代化速度超过世界上任何一个国家。

这飞速发展的核心地带，正是此城——上海。

这是如今中国最繁华的城市、金融中心、世界上最繁忙的港口。

两千四百万上海居民，说着他们自己的方言，依靠世界上最大的交通运输系统之一，往返穿梭。

正是这些拔地而起的摩天大楼，才真正吸引了全世界的目光。

其中也包括这样一个人：他毕生的工作就是记录这物换星移。

“这个城市建筑摄影对我来说呢，它既是工作，又是一个自己的爱好，是一种对于城市的一份情感。

”郑宪章花了二十年，以拍摄记录雨后春笋般崛起于上海的摩天大楼。

在1993年拍摄的这张照片里，上海几无摩天大楼，但是到了2014年，上海的摩天大楼数目已赶上东京。

“每次站在这个地方看，既看到城市的发展，又看到城市的文化、城市的历史。

这边是全新的，那边呢是我们的一些百年建筑。

从这个角度看过去，实际是看到一个城市的对比。

它是在发展，但是呢，很多好的那种传统的建筑文化的东西，它也在非常好的保留之中。

我今天拍的所有的照片，将来都是一个历史，这个呢是一个很有意义的东西。

”这种城市文化进程遍及整个中国,目前有六亿多人口分布在六百五十六个城市中，他们将促成与芝加哥同等规模城市的诞生，一年一座。

驱动城市爆炸性扩张所需的人力来自于辽阔中国的农村落后地区。

到2030年，预计有三亿五千万人，相当于美国人口总量，将会从农村迁移到城市。

[纪录片]鸟瞰中国——ChinafromAbove

[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。

制作背景《鸟瞰中国》是由中国五洲传播中⼼与美国国家地理频道联合拍摄的纪录⽚，由KNNY PNG、KLAUS TOFT联合执导。

从2013年6⽉开始，到2015年1⽉结束，整个拍摄过程持续了⼀年半时间。

从中国北疆的齐齐哈尔到西南的西双版纳，从遥远的新疆阿勒泰到辽阔的渤海湾，到处都留下了摄制组的⾜迹。

2014年的除⼣之夜，五洲传播中⼼的制⽚⼈李培和摄制组还在冰天雪地中赶路，就是为了⽤摄像机记录百姓们吃年夜饭的温情场景。

还有⼀次，在零下20多摄⽒度的严寒⾥，“五洲”年轻的制⽚⼈张天⽵与摄制组成员顶着7级⼤风⼀起爬上陡峭的岩壁，就为拍摄秃鹫翱翔天空的场景。

为了拍摄初春的第⼀次凌汛，摄制组坐着破冰船出海，为了拍摄世界上最⼤的射电望远镜，摄制组千⾥迢迢赶往位于贵州崇⼭峻岭中的⼀个⼩⼭坳。

内容概要《鸟瞰中国》分为上下两集，第⼀集讲的是中国伟⼤的地理、⼈⽂“奇景”，第⼆集则讲述了现代中国的发展。

第⼀集从傣族的赛龙⾈、泼⽔节，到四川的乐⼭⼤佛、张家界的天门⼭、⼭西的悬空寺、万⾥长城，这部纪录⽚以⼀个鸟瞰的视⾓，为我们展开了⼀幅瑰丽的中国⼭河画卷。

除此之外，中华民族以他的智慧⽴于世界民族之中，千百年来，那些古⽼⽽伟⼤的农业⼯程，让华夏⾎脉得以延续：1. 吐鲁番坎⼉井（葡萄）2. 云南哈尼梯⽥（⽔稻）3. 福建海带养殖场4. 新疆清河县驯养野⽣鹰捕猎⽽华夏⼦孙的智慧不仅体现在农耕⽂化中，还体现在⼈们⽣活的⽅⽅⾯⾯：1. 云南省三江并流保护区傈僳族⼈⽣活2. 新疆昭苏县天马节3. 哈尔滨国际冰雪节第⼆集则讲述了中国现代化的⼯业发展：近代还在闭关锁国的中国社会，以实现了令⼈叹为观⽌的华丽转⾝，从农业社会⼀举成为世界⼯⼚，中国城镇巨⼤的巨⼤容量和建设规模，在世界历史发展的任何阶段都是⽆出其右的。

在这⽚⼴袤⽽地质复杂的⼟地上，中国⼈正在以惊⼈的速度建设⾼科技交通⼯具和⾼速公路，中国⼈还攻克了⼀个⼜⼀个⼯程难题，在减少污染的同时，实现了需求巨⼤的能源供给，造福了将近7亿⼈⼝。

鸟瞰中国-China from Above(上)(下)(翻译完整版)

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。

鸟瞰中国-China from Above(下)The Future Is Now(词汇、脚本、翻译)

鸟瞰中国-China from Above（下）The Future Is NowScriptChina, a nation undergoing a new cultural revolution at the dawn of the 21st century. This epic journey from the air will reveal a nation in transition. As millions migrate for new lives to mega cities being built at record pace, engineering marvels rise across China‟s epic landscape, and cutting-edge transport systems roll out to meet the demands of 200 million people on the move. China‟s reach even extends to earth‟s orbit.It‟s a country experiencing unprecedented change. After centuries in seclusion, China is now revealed.A five thousand-year-old civilization in a hurry. Over the last three decades, it has modernized faster than any other country. At the heart of this transformation is one city-----Shanghai. It's now China‟s most popular city, its financial hub and the world's busiest port.The 24 million Shanghai residents speak their own dialect and travel around on one of the biggest transportation systems in the world. It's the rapid increase of its skyscrapers that's really caught the world's imagination, including one man whose life's work has been to recall this transformation."To me, cityscape photography is a job as well as a passion. It expresses my affinity for the city." ZhagXianzhen has spent 20 years photographing the rapidly evolving skyline of Shanghai. In 1993, this photo captured Shanghai with almost no skyscrapers, but by 2014, it had as much as Tokyo city."Standing here you can see the city's development and its culture and history. On this side are the new buildings. Century-old buildings are over there. From here, what you are seeing are the contrasts within a city. It may be growing but it is also preserving its heritage very well. All the pictures I take today will one day be a historical recording. This is very meaningful to me.This urban transformation spread across China over 600 million people now living in 656 cities, they are building the equivalent of the city the size of Chicago every year. The manpower required to drive this urban explosion has come from the rural backwaters of this vast nation.By 2030, 350 million people, the population of the United States, are expected to move from the countryside to the cities. An exodus that dwarves the 19th century Industry Revolution of Europe and America. Here the modern and the ancient often collide in these chaotic cities and ancient Chinese traditions are hard to shake off.Interviewee1:”Today is QingmingFestival, we‟re all filled with deep emotions in our hearts as we head towards Fun Shou Garden to pay respects to our deceased ancestors.”The lee family is joining more than three million people in Shanghai on a pilgrimage to pay respects to their dead. It‟s called tomb sweeping. Traveling to their relatives graves was once an easy task from rural towns and villages, now millions have to exit their new urban suburbs along congested trunk routes ,causing chaos.I nterviewee2:”During this time each year we dispatch police choppers to the various cemeteries so we can monitor the traffic and relay information to the ground traffic police. ”Interviewee3:”I‟m at sector S32 cemetery site right now, the level of traffic congestion is critical.”Tomb sweeping literally involves cleaning and restoring family grave stones, paying spiritual respect to their deceased elders.Interviewee1:”The idea of filial piety and paying your respects has been an important part of Chinese Confucian society since the ancient times. People are usually too busy, so it is great we have a public holiday as it allows them to pay remembrance to their elders.”The new city dwellers are establishing thousands of new plots on the outskirts of the city where land is cheaper. But such as the demand of Shanghai residents, they are likely to run out in 15 years.Interviewee4:”We can‟t forget out roots. Our ancestors gave us a physical body and more importantly a soul. Such a tradition allows good values to be passed down to the future generations.”Tomb sweeping is a tradition being kept alive in modern cities, but it‟s dwarfed by another festival, that draws Chinese people all the way to their home villages and towns, wherever they are now, it‟s the Chine se new year. 200 million Chinese leave the cities, the biggest annual migration of people on the planet, but how do so many leave their new cities for the homes their parents and grandparents? By adopting the most advanced transportation system in the world: high-speed rail.Start in only 2007, at six thousand miles and growing. It‟s already the longest bullet train network in the world. Traveling the eight hundred mile trip from Shanghai to Beijing, used to take fourteen hours, now you can get there in just over five hours, at speeds upwards of 180 miles per hour. And for families like the Wang‟s this cutting-edge transportation, is critical for their New Year exodus.Their hometown of Qiqihar is in the far northeast a distance of 950 miles, a journey that world take 36 hours by conventional transport, but not anymore, the bullet train‟s immense speed is achieved with new electrified track across China and aerodynamic trains made from light weight composite materials.“As an engineer, I have been with China's high speed rail development from 2004 to today. It has been an exciting journey. It provides an alternative to road and air travel. Though this development, our work has transformed how we Chinese commute.”In the end the Wang's annual day-and-a-half trip is shortened to 15 hours. “The journey may have been long, but it feels short in my heart. Seeing the snow outside reminds me of the times I spent with my parents celebrating new year. It is a very happy feeling.” “Me and his mother and even his aunt really miss them. They have been gone for too long. Now that they are back for the new year. We are very happy to be together as one family again.”The Chinese New Year takes place at the start of spring. For the new urban middle-class, the summer brings a new western-style holiday into their calendar, thebeach holiday. And for the many landlocked Chinese, traveling to far-flung seaside resorts is not an option. The an swer creates the world‟s largest artificial beach.800 miles inland from coastal China, the new Chinese middle class like to spend their leisure time by the water without having to travel miles to get to the beach. This artificial beach resort can hold up to 10,000 visitors. So successful, it‟s become a unique attraction in its own right and now draws visitors from as far and wide as Beijing 875 miles away. “We are friends who often travel together.” “Other friends recommended this place to us. We did more research on the internet and found out that the waters are good for our body and skin. Women at our age are very concerned about our skin. ” It‟s not just an artificial sea resort. There‟s one of the world‟s biggest indoor swimming pool here too. A giant wave machine is its main attraction. The Chinese name for this incredible sight is dumpling soup. “That was too exciting! We have not experienced something like this in decades. It‟s like going back to the time when I was in my twenties. This place is a chi ldren‟s playground. It allows us to relive our childhood! ”When the Chinese aren‟t splashing out on beach holidays, they‟re turning to television and cinema for their entertainment. China‟s movie market is now the world‟s second-largest with tens of thousands of cinema screens and homegrown production is booming.To feed this hunger for entertainment that was denied to them for decades, south of Shanghai in Zhejiang province, a massive complex has been built. China‟s answer to Hollywood-Chinawood. This 6400 acre outdoor film set is now the world‟s biggest.Chinese history is being retold for Chinese audiences like the Hollywood studios the 1940s and 50s. Giant backlots reproduce key periods in Chinese history. It‟s spread over 10 square miles, around twice the size of Beverly Hills, and consists of 13 shooting bases.Hollywood had westerns,Chinawood has its own wild west, dynastic dramas and high-octane martial arts movies.Wang Ying is directing a new martial arts movie, "I first started in martial arts school before enlisting at Shaolin Temple. I was too young, I went because my familytold me to go. It was tough and I wanted to go home. But after training for a few years and going for competitions, I developed a passion that endures until today." As a graduate of the Shaolin Temple, Wang Ying brings authenticity to his action movies-a modern twist to an ancient martial arts tradition.Wang Ying said，"We will first film the actors‟ close ups, but the fight sequences will be done by our stuntmen. Our stuntmen will wear this harness and then be hauled up into the air. This requires professional training. Like how to maintain your posture amongst others. The challenge is coordination. If the coordination is off, our stuntman may fall and injure himself."With annual box office receipts reaching almost 5 billion dollars and 13 new cinemas opening everyday, China‟s demand for films will continue to grow like the rest of nation.In 10 years, China will have over 200 cities with more than a million residents, And 8 mega cities with over 10 million, to deliver enough power to run these cities requires the building of the biggest high-voltage transmission network on earth. China‟s rampant growth has outstripped this nation‟s infrastructure, housing nearly 1.4 billion requires huge engineering projects. In the southeastern China is Lishui, Zhejiang province. The workers here are installing an ultra high-voltage cable network that will run for thousands of miles across China‟s rugged interior.“I have been working in thi s field for 9 years. It can be dangerous due to the heights we have to scale. During rainy days, the cables can get very slippery. Strong winds can also blow us off.” Each tower is located on a precipitous mountain ridge. Xu‟s place of work is a further 213 feet above that. “If this spacer is not installed properly, if a typhoon hits for instance, the cables may collide and cut each other off, causing the steal towers to collapse. This is because the cables provide a traction that keeps the towers in balance. If the cables snap, the towers will not be able to withstand the resulting tension.”The ultra high-voltage cable network is one solution to China‟s power generation problems. In China, the distances between some cities and power plants are vast. Energy is lost the longer, electricity travels along normal power lines. This newsystem transmits five times the capacity of the old electricity grid. When completed this integrated electric highway is set to stretch from more than 12,000 miles, half of the ear th‟s circumference.To provide the energy needed to power China‟s growth means supplying the nation‟s power plants with vast quantities of fossil fuels. This is where another innovative engineering project comes in. This container ship as long as three football pitches, is not carrying shoes or smart phones to the west, it‟s transporting liquid natural gas to the rest of China.“Constructing this ship requires precision from its structure to its internal fittings, especially its cargo hold and cargo management devices. Because it is more complex than other ships, in terms of its mechanisms and components.” Liquid natural gas has to be stored at minus two hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit more than three times as cold as the Antarctic winter, capturing this much gas at high pressure is a complex and dangerous engineering task.“The fact that we are able to build this, an LNG carrier, one of the world‟s complex ships, proves we have reached a global milestone in engineering.” China‟s unrelenting growth has produced a negative impact that affects the health of the majority of its people. It has the worst pollution levels on our planet. To replace fossil fuels Chinese engineers are in a race against time to build giant wind farms.China‟s rapidly-growing cities have caused pollution on a scale not seen in history, coal and car pollutants often produce a permanent twilight in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities. Sunlight is often unable to pierce the glue, even plants struggle to photosynthesis of on the worst days.In the far northwestern province of Xinjiang, they‟re employing a two thousand-year-old invention to harness the unusual climactic conditions across these enormous planes wind power.This modern wind farm alone has 300 turbines spreading across 50 miles.These giant wind farms are quickly coming online.China may have started late when it comes to wind energy.But since 2006，our production capability has been increasing rapidly.China can now power 110 million homes by harnessing the electricity generating power of thewind and in just five years it plans to double that. But the Space Age composite materials have to withstand extreme conditions.Windblades,some as long as two hundred feet have to cope with temperature swings of 130 degrees and hurricane-force winds.We are currently conducting the fatigue test. The fatigue test simulates the equivalent of 20 years of usage on an epic feat in itself.The very wind that will be converted into precious electricity will make the raising of three 6 ton blades 230 feet in the air，extremely hazardous.It's a massive and yet precise operation for engineers.With the 32 to structure , dangerously exposed a sudden gusts of wind.They have to get the angle and positioning just right before the tower and turbine slot together just so.Incredibly,two man stand in the docking head 230 feet up to help the blades slot in.Higt-tech projects are not the only solution to China‟s burgeoning demands.To China‟s burgeoning demands.The South China Sea is a natural resource being used to sustain the growing millions .This tiny inlet of Hainan Island is key to one of China‟s biggest supply problems .Their love of SeafoodAround this island they use an ancient practice that produces fish without a single fishing line and boat.Instead they farm the fish that‟s normally caught at sea.This is the floating village of Sanduao Here they‟ve created hundreds of fish farms floating in the salt water .It‟s a centuries-old settlement .That …s home to more than 8,000 people .Over generations they have built a self-sustaining village.Fashioned out of bamboo and wood.With its own post office police station convenience stores restaurants and Medical Center .The tropical area has the deepest ice-free natural harbor in the world.And a year-round warm climate .Making it suitable for breeding fishSange is a sixth-generation Tanka Tanka who breeds fish commercially here.My father used to teach us fishing techniques and what fish to catch.Fishing out on the sea was tough.So my father decided to rear fish instead .This is the grouper,currently our most valuable fish.My children like rearing seafood.They too prefer breeding stock than fishing out on the sea.China‟s large interior allows for engineering project to be rolled out on a grand scale. The Tibetan Qinghai plateau five times the size of Spain is known as the roof of the world. The thin air and high-altitude means it receives incredible amounts of solar radiation. An ideal place for one of the world‟s largest solar parks. This sea of photovoltaic panels generates enough energy to power an average city. This will become critical for China as demand is ever-increasing.This is the coastal city of Shenzhen, in southeast China. Thirty-five years old , this was a small town with a population of 300000 people. 12 million people live here now, feeding the largest manufacturing base in the world. Nearly 700 million Chinese live in cities now.Shenzhen also suffe rs high levels of pollution, their problem isn‟t coal power stations and factions .but the three million vehicles congesting the roads. “Cars are the main source of pollution in Shenzhen as there are very few factories. If the city can solve the car proble m . It can solve the problem of emissions” the city solution is to build a huge fleet of electric buses, fully charged, these zero-emission machine run for 150 miles. “I came to Shenzhen in 2006,back then there weren‟t so many cars and traffic wasn‟t as co ngested. Now, maybe because of the rapid development everyone wants to buy a car. But traffic jams are an everyday fact of life in Shenzhen, it is just like eating, you have to have it.” electric vehicle are not new, but the scale of implementation is 3000buses operate throughout the city, all are controlled from the central computer under the command of Yanguangxian. “ this room is the central motioning station for all our electric vehicles ,we have 74 charging deep spots across Shenzhen. On this screen, each blue dot represents a Vehicle we can monitor every single bus and depot.” new technology is key to not only the transport systems in china cities, but also to transporting the Chinese to places beyond the confines of china and even our planet.New technological advances have seeing them enter the space race with the US and Russia for the first time. China has entered the space race from the first Chinese astronaut to walk in space in 2008. Now they are building their own space station. Back on earth in Xinglong near the capital of Beijing the Chinese are also mappingtheir heavens with high-tech telescopes. After all, they were among the planet‟s first astronomers.This is the LAMOST telescope, an incredibly powerful telescope designed to capture wide sw ings of space. When fully operational, it‟ll become the world‟s most powerful telescope of its class. It will map 10 million stars in our galaxy and a million other galaxies beyond. But even LAMOST will soon be dwarfed by one of China‟s latest engineering marvel.1112 miles southwest in the mountains in GuiZhou, China is building a telescope that will take another cosmic leap into the future. With a diameter of 1600 feet, it‟ll be more than one and a half times as big as the world‟s largest telescope. This gargantuan eye for the night sky will see extra planetary transmissions one thousand light years away.During the Song Dynasty in the year 1054, Chinese astronomers discovered a star, That went supernova in a flash of white light. When this telescope is complete, maybe our first target is to look at star again. It will be a way of connecting our future, present and ancient past, The chief scientist Prof Nan Rendong says.For the telescope to operate effectively, it‟s located in a remote area with no electronic interference or noise pollution. But the engineers are working at the very edge of what‟s possibleZhang Guoqiang, the engineer, says, We are like tiny spiders trying to weave a 500 meter wide web, this web has over 6000 joints and weights over 1500 tonnes. If a single joint is not installed in place properly, we will not be able to achieve the shape we need. The biggest risk is that I have over a hundred workers at a height of 60 meters and above. It‟s an unimaginable risk. You may think tightrope wal kers have a risky job, but my workers are treading tightropes every day. We engineers do not like to build projects that are too big as they are very difficult. But when faced with natural conditions that force us to build something this big, we are willing to do it because we are always looking to challenge ourselves. We want to find out whether we can do it and how well we can do it. China is now well and truly part of a new space race and efforts to understand the origins of our universe.It‟s a nation t hat until recently was closed off to the world that has transformed itself in incredible with ways . From a rural society into the worlds factory .cities have been built to a size and scale , not matched in any previous period in world history ,Across this visit and inhospitable land. High-tech transportation and highways are built ,at an incredible pace Engineering solutions are required to supply the huge amounts of energy that are needed to reduce pollution that‟s affecting almost half of it‟s nearly 1.4billion population .Against this ever-changing landscape millions of Chinese still observe ancient traditions and rights . Once discovering new forms of leisure and entertainment China a vast melting pot of past and present ,now revealing itself to the world .Translation中国，一个在二十一世纪开篇之际正经历一场新的文化革命的国家。

鸟瞰中国（上）

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。

They are creating their own history to pass on. 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 the17th 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.“We should embrace this unique climate that God had blessed upon us. And open our hearts to the world, despite the cold weather.”This event has grown into the largest ice festive in the world.“The weather is our biggest challenge.We’re on tight deadlines. All the ice is sourced from the Songhua River. If the ice is not thick enough, we will not be able toharvest it. And construction will be delayed. Luckily the weather condition this year is good. Every sculpture is just like my own child. I watch them grow up every day. It’s not just a job, we are emotionally devoted to transform this park into a magnificent piece of art and present this to visitors.”Opening day is here. A city of ice has risen. Covering an area the size of 150- football fields. But it’s the night which sees the Ice City in its full splendor.By standing on the shoulders of their ancestors, the Chinese have through genius agriculture and engineering traditions become a nation that’s developed from a p oor rural 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 21st century? How will China tackle modern issues as energy pollution and overpopulation and how does a nation of nearly 1.4 billion people work and play?Translation横贯全国，在东北深处，哈尔滨人并不像哈萨克人一样秉承古老的传统，而是自己创造历史以传千秋。

这座城以中国冰雪之都为名，最低温度可达零下38华氏度（39摄氏度）。

大约一万名工人正在从冰冻的松花江中切割拖拽取出巨大的冰块，550磅的冰块。

这是一个基于十七世纪传统的崭新节日，那时渔民曾用冰块雕刻灯笼。

整个下一周，艺术家将竞相把这丰富的本地资源转化为巨大无比的冰雪仙境——哈尔滨冰雪节。

“我们应该说享受这种，就是上帝赐予我们这种温度的优势，再配上这种，打开自己的胸怀，就可以拥抱全世界。

”这个节日已经发展成世界最大的冰雪节。

“最大的挑战，第一就是我们的天气，因为我们现在工期非常紧。

第二的话呢，所有的冰块全部取自松花江。

这你要温度厚度达不到我们就没法建设，好在今年还好。

这儿每个景观就是都是像我的孩子一样一点一点看着他们长大的。

就是完全就是发自内心的，想把这个事情，不当成是一项工作，而是要把它建成是一个艺术的宫殿，展现给世界各地的游客。

”今天盛世迎门，冰城拔地而起，面积之大，足足有一百五十个足球场。

而仅当入夜，冰城的雍容华贵才会极尽闪耀。

借先祖之智，中国以其天才般的农业和工业传统从极品羸弱的国家发展为人类史上发展最为迅猛的国家，但是中国的未来又会如何呢？在二十一世纪的门口，中国将如何面对这些现代性问题诸如：能源、污染和人口过多？一个具有将近十四亿人口的国家是如何工作和娱乐的？VII. Smart Phone Time冰冻三尺非一日之寒。
