歌词
This is the Yellow River.
这就是——黄河
Each year the Yellow River carries billions of tons of sediment from the Loess Plateau
黄河夹带着数十亿吨的泥沙从黄土高原（奔流而下）
eastwards to the crop fields of the Chinese heartland.
往东流向中国心脏地带的耕地
Historically, the Chinese relationship with the river has been uneasy.
历史上，中国与这条河流的关系一直不稳定。
Sediment, building up on the riverbed,
泥沙积聚在河床上
has caused the Yellow River to burst its banks periodically,
导致了黄河周期性的溃堤
unleashing devastating floods,
释放了毁灭性的洪水
resulting in millions of deaths.
造成了数百万人的死亡
But when tamed with dykes and channels,
但当被堤坝和水渠所驯服
the river's bounty is legendary.
黄河的丰饶是享有盛名的
Even today, half of China's wheat comes from the Yellow River floodplain.
即使如今，中国半数的小麦仍然来自黄河流域的漫滩
