美丽中国2Wild China

Wild China 美丽中国-2It has transformed the landscape. Late winter in southern Yunnan is a busy time for local farmers as they prepare the age-old paddy field s ready for the coming spring. These hill slopes of Yunyang county plunge nearly 2,000 meters to the floor of the Red River Valley. Each contains literally thousands of stack terraces carved out by hand using basic digging tools. Yunnan’s rice terraces are among the oldest human structures in China, still ploughed, as they always have been, by domesticated water buffaloes, whose ancestors originated in these very valleys.This man-made landscape is one of the most amazing engineering feats of pre-industrial China. It seems as if every square inch of land has been pressed into cultivation.As evening approaches, an age-old ritual unfolds. It’s the mating season, and male paddy frogs are competing for the attention of the females. But it doesn’t always pay to draw too much attention to yourself. The Chinese Pond Heron is a pitiless predator. Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field, nature is red in beak and claw. This may look like a slaughter, but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time, the vast majority will escape to croak another day.Terrace paddies like those of Yunyang County are found across much of southern China. This whole vast landscape is dominated by rice cultivation. In hilly Guizhou province, the Miao minority have developed a remarkable rice culture. With every inch of fertile land given over to rice cultivation, the Miao build their wooden houses on the steepest and least productive hillsides. In Chinese rural life, everything has a use. Dried in the sun, manure from the cowshed s would be used as cooking fuel.It’s midday, and the Song family are tuck ing into a lunch of rice and vegetables. Oblivious to the domestic chitchat, granddad Gu Yongshou has serious matters on his mind. Spring is a start of the ricegrowing season. The success of the crop will determine how well the family will eat next year, so planting at the right time is critical.plungeTo descend steeply; fall precipitously:陡峭地下倾；突然地下降：a cliff that plunges to the sea.陡降至海面的悬崖paddy fieldA rice paddy.稻田，水田Heron鹭：鹭科中的各种涉水禽鸟之一，有长颈、长腿、长长的尖喙，通常为白色、灰色或淡蓝灰色的羽毛pitilessshowing no pity or mercy; cruel 无怜悯心的; 无情的; 残酷的: a pitiless killer, bandit, tyrant, etc 残酷的杀手﹑匪徒﹑暴君等*crapulous饮(吃)过量的, 暴饮暴食的marked by intemperance especially in eating or drinkingcroakA low, hoarse sound, as that characteristic of frogs and crows.呱呱叫：一种低而嘶哑的声音，如蛙和鸦发出的叫声tuck into sth ([口]把食物塞进肚子里, 痛快地吃.)informal to eat something eagerlyThe ice creams came and we tucked in.They tucked into a hearty breakfast of eggs.chitchat,Casual conversation; small talk.闲谈；聊天oblivious~ of/to sth unaware of or not noticing sth; having no memory of sth 未觉察; 不注意; 忘记: oblivious of one's surroundings 不注意周围事物* oblivious to what was happening 对发生的事情无记忆* oblivious to danger 未觉察到危险。

catch on the roof to dry在中国，但凡能吃的东西都不会被浪费It's being in China, nothing edible would be wasted在遥远的南方有这样一种说法There is a saying in the far south “长腿的唯桌子不吃"We will eat anything with legs, except atable;长翅膀的独飞机不啃”and anything with wings, except a plane."几个钟头后这些晒干了的昆虫便会被带到市场上卖掉Within a few hours, the dried insects are ready to be backed up and taken to market其中蜻蜓蛹能卖到最好的价格Its the dragonfly nymphs that fetch the best price幸运的是草海的蜻蜓资源非常丰富且高速再生Fortunately, Caohai's dragonflies are abundant and fast breeding所以老耿和其他的渔民远不会危及它们的数量so Geng and his fellow fishermen have so far had little impact on their numbers但绝非所有野生动物都这样生机勃勃But not all wildlife is so resilient这所上海附近的佛庙This buddhist temple near Shanghai有一段与之相关的传奇故事has an extraordinary story attached to it2007年5月In May 2007一支狂野中国摄制组在这所寺庙的鱼塘里A Wild China camera team filmed this peculiar Swinhoe's turtle拍摄到了这只罕见的斑龟in the temple's fishpond据寺庙的和尚所说这只龟在明朝期间被赐予寺庙According to the monks, this turtle had been given to the temple during the Ming dynasty至今已有400余年历史了over 400 years ago它被认为是地球上最老的动物It was thought to be the oldest animal on Earth软壳龟被很多从中国人视为神赐的馈赠Soft shell turtles are considerd a god-made delicacy by many Chinese在被记录下的时候and when it was filmed它已是中国仅存的三只斑龟之一this was one of just three Swinhoe's Turtles left alive in China他的同胞们The rest of its kind被当作食物剿杀殆尽having been rounded up and eaten悲痛人心的是在拍摄后的短短几周后Sadly, just a few weeks after filming 这只远古的生物与世长辞了this ancient creature died 他的其他同类现在被散养在不同动物园保护着The remaining individuals of its species are currently kept in seperate zoos据测算现在斑龟在自然界中已经灭绝了and Swinhoe's Turtle is now reckoned extinct in the wild事实上中国25种淡水龟中In fact, most of the 25 types of fresh water turtles in China多数都已然濒危are now vanishingly rare杜绝物种灭绝的唯一途径The answer to extinction就是加以保护is protection这里有贯穿中国南方的不断壮大的自然保护区网络And there is now a growing network of nature reserves through southern China其中张家界天子山那由沙石构成的高耸的Of these, the Tianzi Mountain Reserve at Zangjiajie is perhaps the most visited by Chinese nature lovers塔状反重力地貌最受中国自然爱好者的青睐who come to marvel at the gravity-defying landscape of soaring sand stone pinnacles蜿蜒在张家界的山峰间清澈见底的溪流Winding between。

A stalactite (UK /ˈstæləktaɪt/, US /stəˈlæktaɪt/; from the Greek stalasso, (σταλάσσω), "to drip", and meaning "that which drips") is a type of formation that hangs from the ceiling of caves, hot springs, or manmade structures such as bridges and mines. Any material which is soluble, can be deposited as a colloid, or is in suspension, or is capable of being melted, may form a stalactite. Stalactites may be composed of amberat, lava, minerals, mud, peat, pitch, sand, and sinter.A stalactite is not necessarily a speleothem, though speleothems are the most common form of stalactite because of the abundance of limestone caves.

Wild China 美丽中国

Wild China 美丽中国由BBC拍摄的《美丽中国》纪录片，从一开始用了许多让我们熟悉的南方亚热带的影像，用悠长的音乐作为背景音乐，沉郁深沉的男声作解说，让我们随着镜头的不断拉远拉近，重新认识了我们所热爱的祖国大好河山。

片段从我国南方的亚热带地区开始，在昏暗的夜景下，漓江的渔人和鱼鸟栖坐在竹筏上，他们点着渔火，伴随着鱼鸟的低叫，渔人捕鱼的声音，富有民族韵味的音乐；接下来便是介绍南方亚热带的雨水，充满积水的扬子江的涝原中黑尾鹬在泥泞中寻索着虫子；之后镜头一转，转到了老农们种稻子的场景，用近镜头给了老农手里的稻米一个特写，随之再由近景拉往远景，展示了云南梯田的宏伟景观；到了傍晚，又用十分生动的镜头介绍了中国池鹭的掠食行为，没有背景音乐的陪衬，主要突出青蛙和池鹭的声音，给人以身临其境的亲切感；随之，摄像机的镜头对准那里人们的生活场景，十分细致，并用了苗家人所喜爱的成双燕来讲述老农一家的生活，用小动物来吸引观看者的眼睛，起到非常好的效果；之后用清灵的音乐作背景来描述一个热闹的众人工作的场景，给人以一种轻松的感觉，而不会觉得很吵闹和压抑；《美丽中国》从始至终都喜欢用中国南方亚热带的野生动物来吸引人们的注意，并且也的确是中国南方亚热带雨林所带给世人的印象，它会经常用一个亚洲地图来介绍一处地理位置和景观，比如后来在介绍喀斯特地貌时，这便是它的比较成功的地方，它既用了学术性的语句向我们具体地介绍喀斯特地貌的形成原因，又用年轻探险家的视角给我们带来神秘的溶洞景观，并且配以神秘悠长的背景音，给人以无限的遐想与憧憬；随即映入眼内的是白颊黑叶猴的灵巧身影，介绍了它们懒散却富有生机的生活，给我们展示了这一个珍惜的神奇生物的魅力；然后便是孩童们上学的场景，简陋的教室但是他们都认真的读着书，给我们带来很深的触动……《美丽中国》不断用生动的视角，摄像的远近，给我们带来许多视觉上的震撼，展示了我国风景的秀丽壮美，自然界的神奇与神秘，展示了中国地理的无限与美好。

美丽中国wild china第二集观后感

美丽中国wild china第二集观后感Wild ChinaThe last hidden world ----China.After watching the video for the second time, I was still fascinated by the well-bedded terraces, endless steppes, beautiful mountains and etc. There is no doubt that this video is a completely outstanding documentary which reflects Chinese Human Geography. To be honest, as a Chinese, I feel ashamed that I have not seen the most sceneries in this video. Our country is so attractive that I can not wait to learn more about it.In addition, when I was attracted by the beautiful scenery, I still thought about the development of our country. China has the largest population and the most ancient culture in the world, developing is the most important problem now. Land desertification, water resources crisis, more and more Industrial wastes, we need to face all those problems.Although China has vast territory and abundant resources, we should take care of it. There are so many species have disappeared forever, what we can do is to do our best to protect them. I hope our country will be wild not only in the past but also in the future.。

《美丽中国 Wild China》第二集观后感

又看了一遍《美丽中国》，再次感慨万千，不得不为摄影师的独特视角和中国博大的人文情怀所折服。

冰清玉洁的雪山，雄奇秀丽的山川，一望无际的草原，诗情画意的湖泊，波澜壮阔的大海，层次分明的梯田，一切都美得令人窒息。

机灵可爱的金丝猴，憨态可掬的大熊猫，威风凛凛的东北虎，亭亭玉立的丹顶鹤，珍贵稀有的扬子鳄，如此丰富的多样性实在令人叹为观止！这是一部从各个角度全面反映中国人文地理的极为罕见的优秀纪录片。

纪录片的内容涵盖整个中国的辽阔疆域：从北到南，从西到东，无一遗漏。

整部片子的背景音乐、画面、解说词配合得简直是令人无可挑剔。

尤其是里面的解说词，简直是令人拍案叫绝。

它时而俏皮，时而深沉，不经意间非常自然地引出一段哲理，启迪着我们的思想。

《美丽中国》实在是一部不可多得的极为优秀的纪录片。

除此之外，更多的是被中国的魅力所吸引，还有为国家今后的发展的担忧，这个有着五千年历史的文明古国。

中国文明史时间是最古老的，其人口是世界上最庞大的，十三多亿的人口，五十六个名族，各型各色的传统生活方式。

虽然中国面临着巨大的社会及环境保护问题，但还是有它最美的一面。

中国有世界上最高的山脉----海拔8844．43米的珠穆朗玛峰，中国有宽广的沙漠--塔克拉玛干沙漠，仅次于撒哈拉沙漠，是世界第二大沙漠，其温差可以从灼热高温降到令人麻痹的寒冷，中国有云雾迷茫的丛林庇护者稀有动物，一望无际的旷野草原及丰饶的热带海洋。

而如今的中国面对的是怎么样的环境问题？令人瞩目的全世界三大酸雨区，其中之一就在中国的长江以南地区，而全国酸雨面积占国土资源的30%；土地沙漠化，世界上沙漠正已每年600万公顷的速度侵蚀土地，而中国每天都有500公顷的土地被沙漠吞食；森林面积减少，全世界每年有1200万公顷的森林消失，而中国年均消失天然林40万公顷，；水资源危机，作为世界21个贫水国之一的中国，全国600多座城市中，缺水的就有300多座；水土流失面积已达367万平方公里，每年至少有50亿吨沃土付之东流；与日俱增的工业垃圾、生活垃圾已包围了我国三分之二的城市；大气污染已使中国600多座城市的大气质量符合国家标准的不到1%。

(I) Wild ChinaThe last hidden world, China. For centuries, travelers to China have told tales of magical landscapes and surprising creatures. Chinese civilization is the world's oldest, and today, it is largest, with well over a billion people. It is home to more than 50 distinct ethnic groups and a wide range of traditional lifestyles, often in close partnership with nature.We know that China faces immense social and environmental problems. But there is great beauty here, too. China is home to the world's highest mountains, vast deserts ranging from searing hot to mind-numbing cold，steaming forests harboring rare creatures, grassy plains beneath vast horizons and rich tropical seas.Now for the first time ever, we can explore the whole of this great country, meet some of the surprising and exotic creatures that live here and consider the relationship of the people and wildlife of China to the remarkable landscape in which they live. This is wild China.Our exploration of China begins in the warm, subtropical south. On the Li River, fishermen and birds perch on bamboo rafts, a partnership that goes back more than a thousand years. This scenery is known throughout the world, a recurring motif in the Chinese paintings and a major tourist attraction. The south of China is a vast area, eight times larger than the UK. It's a landscape of hills but also of water.最后一个神秘的世界——中国。

数世纪以来，到过中国的游客一直描述着中国迷人的山水风景，以及令人惊叹的珍禽异兽。

中国文明是世界最古老的文明，而如今是最广博的。

其人口总数超过十亿。

中国是50多个少数民族共同的家园，他们秉承着各自的传统生活方式，与自然和谐的朝夕相处。

我们都知道中国面对着众多社会及环境问题，但这里也存在着令人窒息的美丽。

中国有世界上最高的山脉，最广袤的沙漠，其温差可以从灼热高温降到令人麻痹的寒冷。

有雾气腾腾的栖息着珍禽异兽，一望无际的旷野草原，及富饶的热带海洋。

现在，有史以来第一次，我们能够完整地探索这个美好国度，接触栖息于此的珍奇生物，同时思索中国人民和野生动植物，与非凡山水之间的互动关系。

这就是《美丽中国》。

我们的探索中国之旅，始于南方温润的亚热带地区。

在漓江上，栖息于竹筏之上的渔民及鸬鹚已经延续了千年以上的共存关系。

这景致已为世人所熟悉，那是中国水墨画永恒的主题，和旅人永远的圣地。

中国南方面积很广，是英国国土的九倍，这里到处都是山丘，水域的胜景。

(II) Tourist Resources—Natural SitesNatural Sites -- China's mountains, lakes, valleys, caves and waterfalls Mount Taishan in the east, Mount Hengshan in the south, Mount Huashan in the west, Mount Hengshan in the north, and Mount Songshan in the center of China have been called the Five Sacred Mountains since antiquity. Mount Taishan, which snakes through central Shandong Province is admired by Chinese as paramount among them. Another mountain celebrated for its beauty is Mount Huangshan in southern Anhui Province, known for its graceful pines, unusual rocks, cloud seas and hot springs.Jiuzhaigou, Huangguoshu Waterfalls, and Guilin are all located in southwestern China. Jiuzhaigou in northern Sichuan Province is a beautiful "fairyland valley" running over 40 km through snow-covered mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and forest. The Huangguoshu Waterfalls in Guizhou Province are a group of waterfalls, 18 above-ground and four below, which can be heard from five km away. The Lijiang River in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region winds its way through karst peaks for 82 km between Guilin and Yangshuo.On the plateau in northern China are many spectacular lakes. The Tianchi (Heavenly Pool) in the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang Autonomous Region is 1,980 meters above sea level. This 105-m-deep lake is crystal clear, the high mountains surrounding it carpeted with green grass and colorful flowers.Along the renowned Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are many scenic spots and historical sites; the Qutang Gorge is rugged and majestic, the Wuxia Gorge elegant, deep and secluded, the Xiling Gorge full of shoals and reefs and rolling water. The Lesser Three Gorges are lush with greenery, flanking water so clear you can see to the bottom. The Three Gorges Dam built here is China's biggest key hydro-power project.参考译文：旅游资源――自然景观中国广袤的土地上有不胜枚举的奇山异水—高山、湖泊、峡谷、溶洞、瀑布，绚丽多姿。

泰山、衡山、华山、恒山和嵩山自古以来被合称为“五岳”，乃中国名山。

其中绵亘于山东省中部的泰山气势磅礴、拔地通天，素有“五岳之首”之称。

位于安徽省南部的黄山则以奇松、怪石、云海和温泉组成奇幻的自然景观。

九寨沟、黄果树瀑布和桂林山水均位于中国西南部。

四川北部的九寨沟，是一条纵深40余公里的山沟谷地，总面积约620平方公里，兼有湖泊、瀑布、雪山和森林之美，被称为“童话世界”。

贵州省的黄果树瀑布为一大瀑布群，由18个地面瀑布和4个地下瀑布组成，五公里之外就能听到轰鸣声。

在广西境内，漓江从桂林至阳朔一段，长82公里，蜿蜒于岩溶峰林之间，江水清澈，风景如画，是著名的桂林山水所在地。

在中国北部的高原上，众多的高山平湖蔚为壮观。

新疆境内的天山天池，海拔1980米，最深处约105米，湖水清澈晶莹，四周群山环抱、绿草如茵、野花似锦。

长江三峡景色久负盛名，两岸众多的名胜古迹和优美动人的传说令人神往。

瞿塘峡雄伟险峻；巫峡秀丽深幽；西陵峡滩多水急，礁石林立，更有小三峡葱郁苍翠，水清见底。

修筑在此处的三峡大坝，为中国最大的水电枢纽工程。
