Starting out
What nature can do to us humans
Nature can provide everything humans need to survive and live better. Nature is offering humans with fresh air to breath, clean water to drink and various food to eat. It's absolutely right that humans can't live without nature.
Starting out
What can we humans do to nature?
People used to think:
Humans can conquer nature.
Humans can explore nature.
Huamns can reform nature.
Current Situation
Unfortunately, as man’s desire expands, man asks for more and more from nature. As a result , the environment has been seriously polluted by chemical wastes from factories and sewage in cities. Farmland is also overwoked and has lost its fertility. And a variety of wild animals are being hunted and killed. Naturally, the consequences are that many species of plants and animals are disappearing from the earth and the balance of the nature is being upset. Now nature has taken revenge on man.
It is clear that nature is full of power and man has the ability to explore nature ,to know nature and reform the nature but not the ability to conquer nature or control nature.

青藏铁路(Qinghai-Tibet Railway),简称青藏线,是一条连接青海省西宁市至西藏自治区拉萨市的国铁Ⅰ级铁路,是中国新世纪四大工程之一,也是世界上海拔最高、线路最长的高原铁路。
青藏铁路全长1956公里,分两期建成。一期工程东起西宁市,西至格尔木市,1984年5月建成通车;二期工程东起格尔木市,西至拉萨市,2006年7月1日全线通车。
Starting out
7 years of hard work and nearly 2,000 kilometers. Workers have finished replacing the track along all 1956 kilometers of the railway on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The work began in 2010 with a total investment of close to 1.3 billion yuan.
The high-elevation line connects Xining, Qinghai Province with Lhasa, Tibet. It's the world's highest railway that boasts the longest section in plateau areas. Since its inauguration a decade ago, the railway has seen more than 118 million passenger trips and transported some 455 million tons of freight.

Sitting back in my seat, I can‘t quite believe that I’m about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts claimed was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are winding among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
靠坐在火车的座位上,我简直不敢相信,我将要沿着许多外国专家声称“不可能建成”的铁路旅行。火车从西宁出发,向前平稳行驶。一路上,《天路》这首歌一直在我的脑海中回响。当火车开过“世界屋脊”时,“一条条巨龙翻山越岭”的歌词显得格外生动鲜活。

The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world's longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of Tibetan antelopes is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass at their leisure. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural habitat. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally unaware that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
最先映入眼帘的地标性建筑是壮观的清水河大桥,它是世界上最长的高原冻土铁路桥。看!一群藏羚羊正从桥下走过,有的停下来悠闲地吃草。铁路桥下修建了三十三条野生动物通道,让动物得以在自然栖息地中安全自由地通行。就像现在的这群藏羚羊一样,野生动物们使用这些通道已有数年,它们似乎完全没有意识到我们正以每小时100多千米的速度呼啸而过。

To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its distinct ecosystem.
为了避免破坏湿地和草原,我们在格尔木和拉萨之间建造了675座大桥,总长度约160千米。我们甚至将一块14万平方米的湿地迁往一个新的区域,以保护其独特的生态系统。

The journey has been flying by, and before I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. Located at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were constructed. We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
火车一路疾驰,还没等我反应过来,我们就已经到达了唐古拉车站。它位于海拔5,000多米的地方,是世界上海拔最高的火车站。在这样的高海拔环境中,稀薄的氧气,多变的天气,还有强烈的紫外线辐射,这些恐怕是我们铁路工人面临的最大挑战。为了确保工人的身体健康,我们建造了多个制氧站。我们还会定期到低海拔地区休整。
Main idea: Several oxygen-making stations were tructed for railway workers.

As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of pride and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
火车经过措那湖时,一股自豪感和成就感在我心中油然而生。当年,我们沿着措那湖边用成千上万个沙袋筑起了一道二十千米的保护墙,使它免受建筑废料的污染。现在,措那湖离火车这么近,我好想伸手去触摸它那镜面似的浅蓝色湖面。湖中嬉戏的水鸟,在草原上游荡的牛羊,让这片风景充满勃勃生机。
