用某物裹着某物变得青翠某物覆盖着一大片想象一下：春日，群山被银白色的水包裹着，在阳光下闪闪发光；盛夏，佳禾吐绿，将群山染成一片青翠。秋收，满山黄金，而隆冬，它们又披上了冰霜做成的雪白毛毯。这，就是绚丽多彩的龙脊梯田。Translation：TheseterraceswerebuiltbythelocalZhuangandYaopeople,towhomGuangxiishome.StartingintheYuanDynasty,workontheterracestookhundredsofyears,untilitscompletionintheearlyQingDynasty.Reachingasfarastheeyecansee,theseterracescovertallmountains,oftenfromthebottomtotheverytop.被某人建造是……的居住地极目所尽从底部到顶部现在分词作状语bebuiltbysbbehometoasfarastheeyecan/couldseefromthebottomtotheverytopn.工作龙脊梯田的建造者是广西当地的壮族和瑶族居民。梯田从元朝开始修建，历经数百年，直到清初才完工。目之所及，梯田包裹着巍峨的高山，往往从山脚一直盘绕到山顶。Translation：Sowhydidthesepeoplegotosomuchtroubletoturntheentiremountainsintoterraces?Firstly,therearefewlarge,flatareasoflandintheregion.Buildingtheterracesthereforemeantthattheycouldincreasetheareasinwhichtheycouldgrowrice.费力做某事把A变成B平地地区，区域种植水稻go/taketothetroubletodosthturnAintoBflatareasoflandregiongrowrice为什么当地人要如此大费周章，把整片山区变成梯田呢？首先，这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们可以扩大水稻的种植面积。Translation：Secondly,althoughtheregionhasplentyofrain,themountainsaresteepandthesoilisshallow.Theflatterracescatchtherainwaterandpreventthesoilfrombeingwashedaway.陡峭的浅的很多接住雨水阻止做某事冲走steepshallowplentyofcatchtherainwaterprevent/stop...(from)doingsthwashaway其次，尽管该地区雨水充沛，但山地坡度大，土层浅薄。水平的梯田能够储存雨水，防止土壤被冲走。Translation：Butperhapswhatismostsignificantisthewayinwhichpeoplehaveworkedinharmonywithnaturetomaketheseterracesandgrowrice.Theterracesarecleverlydesigned,withhundredsofwaterwaysthatconnectwitheachother.Duringtherainyseason,itisalongthesewaterwaysthatrainwatermovesdownthemountainsandintotheterraces.与……和谐相处为……设计把A和B连接起来雨季inharmonywithbedesignedforconnectAwithBtherainyseason主语从句定语从句但也许最令人惊叹的还是人们与自然和谐相处建造梯田和种植水稻的方式。梯田设计巧妙，其间有数百条相互连接的水渠。在雨季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流入梯田。Translation：Thesunheatsthewaterandturnsitintovapour.Thisformscloudsfromwhichrainfallsdownontothemountainterracesonceagain.Theseterracesalsoprovideaperfectenvironmentforbirdsandfish,(someofwhichfeedoninsectsthatcanharmthericecrops).为某人提供某物以……为食providesthforsb=providesbwithsthfeedon水分经太阳蒸发成水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云中再次落到山上的梯田里。这些梯田还为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危害水稻作物的昆虫为食。Translation：Althoughmoderntechnologycouldhelpproducemorecrops,theseterracesstillmeanalottothepeopleforwhomtraditionsholdmuchvalue.Thisknowledgeispasseddownthroughfamilies,whichmeansthatnewgenerationscontinuetouseancientmethodsofagriculturetomaintaintheterraces.现代技术生产农作物具有价值传递新一代继续做某事古老的农耕方式moderntechnologyproducecropsholdvaluepassdownanewgenerationcontinuetodosthancientmethodsofagriculture尽管现代技术可以帮助提高农作物产量，但这些梯田对珍视传统的当地人来说仍然意义重大。这种知识通过家庭代代相传，后代子孙一直沿用古老的农耕方法来维持着梯田的运作。Translation：Today,theLongjiRiceTerracesattractthousandsofvisitorswhocometoadmirethisgr
