Unit 6 At one with nature
Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the
spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with
growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold,
and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are
the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.

想象一下：春日，群山被银白色的水包裹着，在阳光下闪闪发光；盛夏，佳禾吐绿，将群山染成一片青翠。秋收，满山黄金，而隆冬，它们又披上了冰霜做成的雪白毛毯。这，就是绚丽多彩的龙脊梯田。
Translation：
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to
whom Guangxi is home. Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on
the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion in the early
Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces
cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.

龙脊梯田的建造者是广西当地的壮族和瑶族居民。梯田从元朝开始修建，历经数百年，直到清初才完工。目之所及，梯田包裹着巍峨的高山，往往从山脚一直盘绕到山顶。
Translation：
So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire
mountains into terraces Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of
land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they
could increase the areas in which they could grow rice.
go / take to the trouble to do sth费力做某事
turn A into B 把A 变成B
flat areas of land
region 地区，区域
grow rice 种植水稻
平地
增加
in which引导定语从句
为什么当地人要如此大费周章，把整片山区变成梯田呢？首先，这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们可以扩大水稻的种植面积。
Translation：
Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are
steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater
and prevent the soil from being washed away.
steep陡峭的
shallow浅的
prevent /stop ... (from) doing sth
阻止做某事
地区，区域
许多
flat水平的
接住雨水
wash away冲走
其次，尽管该地区雨水充沛，但山地坡度大，土层浅薄。水平的梯田能够储存雨水，防止土壤被冲走。
Translation：
But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people
have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and
grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of
waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season,
it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces.
in harmony with
be designed for为……设计
connect A with B把A和B连接起来
what引导主语从句
in which引导定从
与……和谐相处
雨季
但也许最令人惊叹的还是人们与自然和谐相处建造梯田和种
植水稻的方式。
梯田设计巧妙，其间有数百条相互连接的水渠。
在雨季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流入梯田。

Translation：
The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds
from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and
fish, (some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops).
provide sth for sb =provide sb with sth为某人提供某物
feed on以……为食
v.加热
turn A into B 把A 变成B
vapour 蒸汽
v.形成
跌倒；落下
完美的

水分经太阳蒸发成水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云
中再次落到山上的梯田里。
这些梯田还为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危害水稻作物的昆虫为食。

Translation：
Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these
terraces still mean a lot to the people for whom traditions hold
much value. This knowledge is passed down through families,
which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods
of agriculture to maintain the terraces.
