　　课文译文：
　　三峡之旅
　　1996年8月，一位年轻的美国英语教师彼得﹒赫斯特，来到长江之滨的涪陵。他和另一位同时将在那里的一所教师进修学院任教两年。整个城里只有他们两名外国人。元月底，第一学期结束了，他们有四周的春节假期，可以随处旅游。他们决定顺流而下。
　　我们打算买到＂江油号＂的船票。同事们说：＂你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤，主要是用来运货的。乘客多是沿江做生意的人。那些船不停靠庙宇，也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。＂ 我觉得听起来还不错。我们出示护照后便上了船。
　　在一个美丽的午后，我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候，阳光很灿烂。男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏，运煤的小船来来往往。太阳落山时，我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉，美丽极了。
　　穿过长江第一峡-瞿塘峡时，我们正在睡梦中。江水在两英里高的峰峦间奔流，峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。我朋友说：＂至少我们能看见另外两个峡谷。＂
　　传到巫山时，我们绕道溯游大宁河，观赏了几处小峡谷。第二天，我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。我们还经过了湘江，那是公元前三世纪一位诗人-屈原的家乡。长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异，条条支流都流淌着传说，座座小山承载着过往。
　　穿过长江第三峡-西陵峡后，轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。所有的乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，对着工地指指点点，但不可以下船。五星红旗在风中飘扬着。远山上写着20英尺大的汉字 ＂建造三峡大坝，开发长江资源＂。
