Translation and original text of Three Gorges , translation of Three Gorges .

In the 700 miles of the Three Gorges, there are continuous high mountains on both sides, and there are almost no interruptions; The cliffs, the cliffs, obscured the sky and the sun, and the sun and moon could not be seen until noon and midnight.

In the summer, when the river floods the hills, the downward and counter-current routes are blocked and impassable. Sometimes when the emperor has an order, he must be conveyed quickly, starting from the White Emperor City in the morning and arriving at Gangneung in the evening, with a distance of more than 1,200 miles in between. Even if you ride a fast horse and ride the wind, it is not as fast as a boat.

In spring and winter, the white rapids, turquoise pools, and swirling waves reflect the shadows of various scenes. The high mountains are lined with cypress trees with strange shapes, and there are hanging springs and waterfalls. The water is clear, the trees are glorious, the mountains are high, and the grass is abundant, which is really interesting.

On a sunny day or frosty morning, when the woods and mountain streams are cool and silent, there are often long cries of apes in high places, and the sounds are continuous, desolate and strange, and the echoes of ape cries are heard in the empty valley, sad and tactful, and disappear for a long time. Therefore, the fishing song in the Three Gorges sang: "The chief of the Wuxia of the Three Gorges of Badong, the ape screamed three times and burst into tears!" ”

Between the 700 miles of the Three Gorges, there are continuous high mountains on both sides, and there is no place to break at all. The sheer cliffs shade the sky and the sun. If it is not noon, the sun cannot be seen; If it's not the middle of the night, you can't see the moon.

In the summer, when the river floods the mountains, the routes of both upward and downward ships are blocked and impassable. Sometimes the emperor's orders had to be conveyed urgently, and at this time, as long as he set out from the White Emperor City in the morning, he would arrive at Gangneung in the evening, and there were 1,200 miles in between, and even if he rode a galloping fast horse and rode the wind, it was not as fast as a ship.

In spring and winter, you can see the white rapids, turquoise water, and swirling waves, reflecting the shadows of various scenes. There are many strange-shaped pines and cypresses growing on the extremely high peaks, and there are hanging springs and waterfalls rushing between the peaks. The water is clear, the trees are glorious, the mountains are steep, and the grass is abundant, which is indeed infinitely interesting.

On a sunny day or frosty morning, the woods and mountain streams appear cool and silent, and there are often apes in high places with long voices chirping, and the sound is continuous, which seems very miserable and desolate, and the echoes of apes' cries are mournful and graceful in the empty valleys, and they disappear for a long time. Therefore, the song of the fishermen in the Three Gorges sang: "The Wuxia Gorge is the longest in the Three Gorges of Badong, and the ape screams a few times so desolate that it makes tears wet the clothes." ”

Translation: In the Three Gorges of 700 miles, both sides of the river are continuous high mountains, and there is no place to break at all; Layers of cliffs, rows of cliffs, obscured the sky and the sun. If it's not noon, you can't see the sun; If it's not the middle of the night, you can't see the moon.

In the summer, the river flooded the mountains, and the upward and downward routes were blocked. Sometimes the emperor's orders had to be conveyed urgently, and at this time, as long as he set out from the White Emperor City in the morning, he arrived at Gangneung in the evening, a distance of 1,200 miles, and even if he rode a galloping horse and rode the wind, it was not as fast as a ship.

In spring and winter, you can see the white rapids swirling and the turquoise water reflecting the shadows of various scenes. Most of the peaks are filled with strange-shaped pines and cypresses, and the Hanging Springs Waterfall rushes between the peaks. The water is clear, the trees are glorious, the mountains are steep, and the grass is abundant.

In autumn, when the sky is just clear or in the morning when the frost is shining, the woods and mountain streams appear cool and silent, and there are often apes in the heights with long voices chirping, and the sound is continuous, which seems very miserable and desolate, and in the empty valley there is an echo of the ape's cry, the voice is sad and graceful, and it disappears for a long time. Therefore, the song of the fishermen in the Three Gorges sang: "The chief of the Wuxia of the Three Gorges of Badong, the ape screamed three times and shed tears." ”
