The same thing happens to this day, though on a smaller scale, wherever a sediment （沉积物）-laden （装满的） river or stream emerges from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land, dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing （沉积） the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope （斜面）. 虽然是较为小型的，但类似的事情也在当下发生，无论什么地方的、大量携带沉积物的 河水或溪流从山谷中流至较为平坦的地带，都会随着流速的减慢会沉淀下它的携带物。 河流通常以扇形蔓延，使沉积物以一种平滑的扇形斜面的形式沉积。 2. In lowland country almost any spot on the ground may overlie （躺在某上） what was once the bed of a river that has since become buried by soil; if they are now below the water’s upper surface (the water table), the gravels （石子，砂砾） and sands of the former riverbed, and its sandbars （沙洲，堤 坝）, will be saturated （浸湿） with groundwater. 在地势较低的城市里，地面上几乎所有曾是河床的地方都被土壤掩埋。如果曾是河床的 地方现在处于河流（的上表面）之下，旧时河床的石砾、沙子和沙洲就会被地表水浸湿。 3.

If the pores （毛孔，气孔） are large, the water in them will exist as drops too heavy for surface tension to hold, and it will drain （使液体流走） away; but if the pores are small enough, the water in them will exist as thin films （薄膜）, too light to overcome the force of surface tension holding them in place; then the water will be firmly held. 如果气孔很大，其内部的水分会以滴的形式存在，水分会由于过重、不能被表面张力持 住而流走。反之，如果气孔很小，其内部的水分会以薄膜的形式存在，水分太轻以至于 不能克服固定它们的表面张力，因此水分就会被以膜的形式保留。 5. But the myths that have grown up around the rites （隆重的仪式或典礼） may continue as part of the group’s oral （口头的; 口述的） tradition and may even come to be acted out under conditions d
