China has unveiled anastonishing man-made waterfall measuring 1,300ft wide that is designed to helpprovide water during emergencies.

中国公布了惊人的人造瀑布，宽1300英尺，用于紧急情况时供水。

The structure in thecity of Kunming in Yunnan province took three years to construct and cost1.1billion Chinese Yuan (￡114million).

这个位于昆明市的结构花了三年时间和11亿元建成。



Finished last year,members of the public applauded when it was unveiled and it has been hailed asa new landmark for south-west China.

去年完成，对外开放时受到公众的赞赏，被称为中国西南地区的新地标。

The waterfall is ableto divert around 300,000 cubic metres (10.6million cubic feet) of water from thelocal Niulan River into Dianchi Lake.

这个瀑布可将牛栏江里的30万立方米的水量引到滇池。



It is said to havebeen built in preparation for potential water shortages, in a country where 60per cent of underground water is polluted.

据称建造这个瀑布的用意是为了防止潜在的水资源短缺，中国60%的地下水都被污染了。

Water quality is ahuge problem for China, with many people in urban areas boiling their water orbuying it bottled to ensure it is safe.

水质量在中国是个大问题，城市里的很多人都要烧水或者购买桶装水以确保安全。

Nice dig at Chinaagain. so China has polluted water not good but so does the US Europe Australiaand just about every other industrialised country. nearly 50% of americanrivers and lakes are unfit to swim in or eat the fish never mind using thewater for drinking

又在挖苦中国了。中国污染水资源确实不好，但是美国欧洲澳洲，几乎每个工业国家都是这样的。美国50%的河流和湖泊都不适合游泳，里面的鱼也不能吃，更别提直接饮用了。

They now own and runour atomic energy, would they please come and build us some flood defences? Ourcountry is run by small minded bean counters who do not value people, property,or engineering.

他们现在拥有并运营我们的核能，他们能来给我们建造防洪提吗？我们国家现在被那些短视的精打细算的人所管理着，根本就不重视人，财产和工程的价值。

Sometimes theconsequences are catastrophic. The Mississippi Missouri is a huge flood plainand they have dammed the river in places and now when it rains the area floodsvery badly.

有时候后果是灾难性的。密西西比和密苏里是巨大的冲积平原，在某些地方筑起了大坝，导致下雨时洪水泛滥。

比如三峡大坝为中国南方提供了三分之一的电力。他们在可再生能源方面领先我们太多了，我们不知道有多落后。
