参考译文: 三峡大坝
“更立西江石壁,截断巫山云雨”
毛泽东写过一首词,在这首词中,它表达了“更立西江石壁,截断巫山云雨,高峡出平湖”的理想。如今,他的理想变成了现实;世界第三大河——长江的自然力已经通过三峡大坝而变为动力。
三峡大坝是继长城及大运河修建以来最大的建筑工程,它的修建是为了控制洪水泛滥并向华中地区提供电力。大坝高近200米,宽达1.5公里,它是世界上最大的水力发电站和水坝,其所耗资金高于历史上任何一项建筑工程。
1911年(资产阶级)革命中的领袖孙逸仙(孙中山)在1919年首次提出在长江上拦江截坝的构想。中国四分之三的能量是通过燃煤获得的。1993年,中国用于供热和发电的煤达12亿吨。而不幸的的是,煤的燃烧会引起严重的空气污染,因而又会促进去全球变暖。三峡大坝的发电量将相当于燃烧四千万吨煤产生的发电量,但却不会造成那么严重的污染。
三峡水库淹没了两座城市,十一个县,140个乡镇和4000多个村庄。原来生活在库区的一百多万人已经迁离家乡。现在,他们在不同的地区过着幸福的新生活。三峡地区是中国最美的地区之一。三峡工程淹没了一些中国非常有名的历史遗迹,其中包括:屈原庙,汉代瞭望塔和摩崖崖刻。约有800处历史文化遗产被淹没;其中有的正被迁走,有的被放到了博物馆中。Module 6 Old And New
