M6 Reading & Vocabulary
Once there is a famous place, there must be a famous person related to it.
Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of the Three Gorges dam.
I have just drunk the waters of Changsha
And come to eat the fish of Wuchang.
Now I am swimming across the great Yangtze,
Looking afar to the open sky of Chu.
Let the wind blow and waves beat,
Better far than idly strolling in a courtyard.
Today I am at ease.
"It was by a stream that the Master said-
‘Thus do things flow away!'"

《水调歌头·游泳》
才饮长沙水,
又食武昌鱼。
万里长江横渡,
极目楚天舒。
不管风吹浪打,
胜似闲庭信步,
今日得宽余。
子在川上曰:
逝者如斯夫!
风樯动,
龟蛇静,
起宏图。
一桥飞架南北,
天堑变通途。
更立西江石壁,
截断巫山云雨,
高峡出平湖。
神女应无恙,
当惊世界殊
Sails move with the wind.
Tortoise and Snake still.
Great plans are afoot:
A bridge will fly to span north and south,
Turning a deep chasm into a thoroughfare;
Walls of stone will stand upstream to the west
To hold back Wushan's clouds and rain
Till smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges.
The mountain goddess if she is still there
Will marvel at a world so changed.
