The Lancang Mekong River
The Lancang Mekong River is an important international river in Southeast Asia,which flows through six countries.The Lancang River is rich in natural resources and wildlife.The largest part of the basin is a natural conservation area for rare and endangered animals and plants in China.The basin area is still an underdeveloped region at present.However,due to deforestation (滥伐森林) and pollution from industrial,agricultural and domestic sectors,the water quality of the river has been deteriorating (恶化) in recent years.In this paper,the author analyzed the present water quality status of the Lancang River both on the mainstream and its tributaries (支流) based on the data of 1990~1997.The results have shown that the water quality status of the river is not good enough although there are few industrial estates in the region.The pollutants in the river are mainly organic (有机的) materials.The main pollution sources are wastewater from paper plants,sugar plants,domestic wastewater from Dali City and Jinghong City,as well as,fertilizers and chemicals from agricultural fields.Heavy metals from the Lanping Lead and Zinc Mine and the Lancang Lead Mine are the main pollutants in the tributaries of the Bijiang River and the Nanla River.Water quality of the mainstream is better than its tributaries;it better in the dry season than in the wet season.

Ⅵ.与同桌讨论、理解下列长难句并尝试翻译成汉语
1.Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike
trip.
句子结构分析:since在本句中是介词,意为自……以来,其主句通常用现在完成时态。
since还可用作副词和连词。
翻译:自高中起,我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次了不起的自行车旅行。
2.It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it
begins to where it ends.

3.Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the
trip properly.
句子结构分析:although,词性连词,意为尽管,引导让步状语从句;insist意为坚持,其
后的宾语从句常用虚拟语气,结构是:should+动词原形,且should可以省略。
翻译:尽管她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚,她却坚持要自己把这次旅游安排得尽善
尽美。
4.She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she wouldn’t change her mind.
句子结构分析:破折号后的内容对前面的描述进行了补充说明,the kind后省略了
of look,that引导的是其定语从句。
翻译:她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。
5.When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold...
句子结构分析:the air...是told的宾语从句;在从句中,to breathe用主动形式表示被动含
义。在“主语+系动词+形容词+动词不定式”结构中,用动词不定式的主动形式表示被
动含义。
翻译:当我告诉她那里空气稀薄呼吸困难,而且很冷时……
