the South China 游記Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分夢想與計(jì)劃 我的名字叫王坤。從高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直夢想作一次偉大的自行車旅行。兩年前，她買一輛昂貴的山地自行車，然后還說服我買一輛(山地車)。去年她去看望我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學(xué)的刀衛(wèi)和宇航。他們是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長大，湄公河在中國境內(nèi)的這一段叫瀾滄江，在其他國家(境內(nèi))叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也對騎車旅游產(chǎn)生興趣。大學(xué)畢業(yè)以后，我們終于有機(jī)會(huì)騎自行車旅行。我問我姐姐：“我們要去哪兒?”首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點(diǎn)騎車旅游的是我的姐姐?，F(xiàn)在她正在為我們的旅行制定計(jì)劃。我很喜歡我姐姐，但是她有一個(gè)很嚴(yán)重的缺點(diǎn)。她有時(shí)確實(shí)很固執(zhí)。盡管她對去某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚，她卻堅(jiān)持要自己把這次旅游安排得盡善盡美。于是，我就知道這個(gè)盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。我不停地問她，“我們什么時(shí)候出發(fā)?什么時(shí)候回來?”我還問她是否看過地圖。當(dāng)然她并沒有看過——我的姐姐是不會(huì)考慮細(xì)節(jié)的。于是，我告訴她，湄公河的源頭在青海省。她給我一個(gè)堅(jiān)定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會(huì)改變主意的。我說，我們的旅行將從5, 000多米的高地出發(fā)，這時(shí)她似乎顯得很興奮。當(dāng)我告訴她那里空氣稀薄，呼吸困難，而且天氣很冷時(shí)，她卻說這將是一次有趣的經(jīng)歷。我非常解我的姐姐，她一旦下決心，什么也不能使她改變。最后，我只好讓步。在我們旅行前的幾個(gè)月，王薇和我去圖書館。我們找到一本大型地圖冊，里面有一些世界地理的明細(xì)圖。我們從圖上可以看到，湄公河發(fā)源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它開始快速流動(dòng)。它穿過深谷時(shí)就變成急流，流經(jīng)云南西部。有時(shí)，這條江形成瀑布，進(jìn)入寬闊的峽谷。我們倆驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)這條河有一半是在中國境內(nèi)。當(dāng)流出中國，流出高地之后，湄公河就變寬，變暖，河水也變成黃褐色。而當(dāng)它進(jìn)入東南亞以后，流速減緩，河水蜿蜒緩慢地穿過低谷，流向生長稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。Using Language 夜晚的西藏山景 第二部分山中一宿 雖然是秋天，但是西藏已經(jīng)開始下雪。我們的腿又沉又冷，感覺就像大冰塊。你看到過雪人騎自行車嗎?我們看上去就像那樣。一路上，一些身著羊毛大衣的孩子們停下來看著我們。下午晚些時(shí)候，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)由于天冷我們的水壺都凍上。然而，湖水在落日的余暉下閃亮如鏡，景色迷人。像往常一樣，王薇在我的前面，她很可靠，我知道我用不著給她鼓勁兒。上山很艱難，但是當(dāng)我們環(huán)顧四周，(眼前的)景色讓我們感到驚奇，我們似乎能看到幾百里以外的地方。在某個(gè)時(shí)刻，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己置身高處，彷佛騎車穿越云層。然后我們開始下山，這非常有趣，特別是天氣逐漸變得暖和多。在山谷里，五彩斑斕的蝴蝶翩翩飛舞在我們身旁，我們還看到牦牛和羊群在吃草。這時(shí)，我們不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和長褲脫掉，換成T恤衫和短褲。一到傍晚，我們通常就停下來宿營，(于是)，我們先把帳篷支起來，然后吃飯。晚飯后，王薇把頭放在枕頭上就睡覺，而我卻醒著。半夜里，天空變得清朗，星星更亮。(夜晚)非常安靜——幾乎沒有風(fēng)，只有篝火的火焰和我們做伴。當(dāng)我躺在星空下，我想著我們已經(jīng)走多遠(yuǎn)。我們很快就要到達(dá)云南的大理。在那里，我們的表兄弟刀衛(wèi)和宇航將加入我們的行列。我們迫不及待地想要見到他們!第三篇：m1u3Project
