Lesson 14. The Ice and Snow Festival I. Script Across the country, in the far northeast, people of Harbin aren’t practicing in age-old tradition like the Kazaks. They are creating their own history to pass on. Renowned as the ice city in China it can reach minus 38 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. Nearly 10,000 workers have been dragging and cutting giant blocks of ice from the frozen Songhua river, 550-pound ice cubes. This is a new festival but based on the 17th century tradition, when fishermen carved lanterns from ice. Over the next week, artists will race to transform this plentiful local resource into a giant frozen wonderland--the Harbin ice and snow festival. “We should embrace this unique climate that God had blessed upon us. And open our hearts to the world, despite the cold weather.” This event has grown into the largest ice festive in the world. “The weather is our biggest challenge. We’re on tight deadlines. All the ice is sourced from the Songhua River. If the ice is not thick enough, we will not be able to harvest it. And construction will be delayed. Luckily the weather condition this year is good. Every sculpture is just like my own child. I watch them grow up every day. It’s not just a job, we are emotionally devoted to transform this park into a magnificent piece of art and present this to visitors.” Opening day is here. A city of ice has risen. Covering an area the size of 150- football fields. But it’s the night which sees the Ice City in its full splendor. By standing on the shoulders of their ancestors, the Chinese have through genius agriculture and engineering traditions become a nation that’s developed from a poor rural back water to one of the fastest developing countries in the history of mankind. But what does the future hold for China on the threshold the 21st century? How will China tackle modern issues as energy pollution and overpopulation and how does a nation of nearly 1.4 billion people work and play? II.Translation 横贯全国,
