带我去河边
今天我们要纪念世界河流日,这是一个保护活动,始于2005年,起源于40年前的今天在不列颠哥伦比亚河岸附近成立的不列颠哥伦比亚河日。弗雷泽河流经这个加拿大省份的多样性景观的展示:它发源于落基山脉,穿过BC中部的陡峭山谷,灌溉温哥华以外丰富的农田,然后流入城市南部的大海。从温哥华以东的曼恩港大桥(Port Mann Bridge)的跨度上看,这段河流缓缓流过,背景是金色的耳朵山(Golden Ears mountains)。由于保护工作的努力,弗雷泽的主干仍然完全没有受损,其流域覆盖了不列颠哥伦比亚省25%的土地面积。

Today we're recognizing World Rivers Day—a conservation event that branched off in 2005 from its source, BC Rivers Day, founded near this British Columbia river's banks 40 years ago today. The Fraser River flows through a showcase of this Canadian province's diverse landscape: It originates in the Rocky Mountains, carves steep valleys through central BC, and irrigates rich farmlands outside Vancouver before spilling into the sea just south of the city. The river flows gently in this stretch, as seen from the span of the Port Mann Bridge east of Vancouver, with the Golden Ears mountains in the background. Thanks to preservation efforts, the Fraser's main stem remains completely undammed, with its drainage basin covering 25% of BC's land area.
