河水

In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river.

在美国诞生的那一年，在最寒冷的几个月，一小群爱国者在冰冻的河水岸边拥抱即将熄灭的营火。

Soon the stream which ran beside the camp overflowed and water entered the boxcars.

不久，流经营地旁边的河水四处泛滥，漫进了棚车。

不久，流经营地旁边的河水四处泛滥，漫进了棚车。

The fall of the river here is six feet.

这里河水的落差为六英尺。

I remembered it as it was: a good place to live where everybody knew everybody else, located on the banks of a river of transparent water that raced over a bed of polished stones as huge and white as prehistoric eggs.

我记忆里的它诚如其所是：一个很好的居住地，大家互相知根知底，就在河岸边，清澈透明的河水流过躺着巨大的、白得像史前时期的鸡蛋一样的石头的河床。

The reason is as follows:At that time, there existed an optimal period of Middle Holocene and the climate of southeast China was mostly affected by the summer east monsoon, and the rainfall in Guilin area increased, which led to the elevation of the water level of underground rivers and flooding of the caves.

距今7000a 左右为中全新世气候适宜期，东亚夏季风强盛，气温升高，桂林地区的降雨增多，一方面由于地下河水位升高，淹没了穴居洞穴，其次是由于降雨增多，导致洞穴湿度增大，从而迫使古人类搬出洞穴。

The National Weather Service says the river will crest in some places Sunday and other locations Monday.

国家天气预报局称河水的洪峰周日将出现在一些地区，周一出现在其他地点。

国家气象服务中心表示河水水位将会于周六在某些地区达到顶峰，并于下周一在另外的区域达到顶峰。

Upstream levee-building has also had the effect of turning a sluggish river into a fire hose, helping to destroy marshes and barrier islands that once provided some protection.

上游的河堤让受限的河水像枪管一样，导致了湿地及河中沙州的消失，而这些湿地及障岛沙洲事实上能提供更多的保护。

All this, in turn, lends urgency to plans proposed by Louisiana politicians to restore natural hurricane protections by diverting water and silt from the river to coastal marshes and wetlands, and by rebuilding barrier islands.

总结以上，最迫切的是需要Louisiana的政治家，重新建造让河水自然的分流、淤塞的海岸湿地，重新出现障岛沙洲，这需要超过四十年的时间及140亿以上的花费、八十亿的湿地恢复计画。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
