第一次见到黄河是在大二时，一个国庆节的早晨，天气有点微微凉，不过清新得出奇。

When I first saw the Yellow River in my sophomore year, it was a national day morning. The weather was a little cool, but it was surprisingly fresh.

我们是骑着单车从山东大学(济南市)出发的，大概要三十分钟……听我那位同学说，这时候的黄河是断水期，不过还好，今年竟然到现在还没断过水……想想就要见到我们伟大的母亲河了，心中那份激动是很难形容的……我和我的同学都默不作声骑车前进，但我想我的同学应该也和我一样激动，一样都在心里咆着：长江长城黄山黄河在我心中总前进。

We set out from Shandong University (Jinan City) by bike. It will take about 30 minutes Listen to my classmate, the Yellow River is in water cut-off period at this time, but fortunately, the water has not been cut off so far this year Think about meeting our great mother river. It's hard to describe the excitement in my heart Both my classmates and I rode in silence, but I think my classmates should be as excited as I am and roar in my heart: the great wall of the Yangtze River, the Huangshan and the Yellow River are always advancing in my heart.

其实我并不是没见过大江大河的，我的家乡有很多河流，如榕江和练江(和韩江是潮汕三大江)。从小就长在江边的啦……长江和钱塘江也都见过了，都是很壮阔但平静的那种。而黄河在我的心目中，应该是波澜壮阔，滔滔不绝，甚至是惊涛拍岸那种气势摄人的，加上从小就有那种母亲河的神圣化，所以非要去看一下不可。

In fact, I haven't seen many rivers. There are many rivers in my hometown, such as Rongjiang and lianjiang (and Hanjiang are the three major rivers in Chaoshan). I grew up by the river The Yangtze River and Qiantang River have also been seen. They are both magnificent but peaceful. In my mind, the Yellow River should be magnificent, eloquent, and even shocking. In addition, since I was a child, it has the sanctification of mother river, so I have to go and have a look.

好不容易骑到了大桥脚下。上桥是一个很长的坡，我的同学累得面无表情，我因为可能过于兴奋而不觉得很累，一个劲地朝桥顶冲呀冲呀……是看到黄河了，兴奋也跌到了谷底，河面没有想象中那么宽，河水有气无力地向北流(没记错的话)，三分之二的河床露出水面，满是黄黄的细沙，好多小孩子就在沙滩(不要笑，真的是沙滩)上放风筝。还有好多推着三轮车的人在那里烤玉米或鸡翅。。

Finally, I rode to the foot of the bridge. The bridge is a long slope. My classmates are so tired that they have no expression on their faces. I may be too excited to feel very tired. I'm rushing towards the top of the bridge I saw the Yellow River, and I fell to the bottom of the valley. The river is not as wide as I expected. The river flows to the North powerlessly (if I remember correctly). Two thirds of the river bed is above the water, full of yellow sand. Many children fly kites on the beach (don't laugh, it's really the beach). There are many people pushing tricycles there baking corn or chicken wings..

。我在桥头看了一会，觉得很没劲。这时我那同学也气喘喘地骑车上来了。我们就在桥头歇了一会，好多超重型卡车从桥上驶过，那桥一震一震地象地震样，我那同学怕桥塌了就建议到桥底的沙滩上去看看……

。 I watched it for a while at the bridge and felt very bored. At this time, my classmate came up on his bike. We just stopped at the end of the bridge for a while. A lot of super heavy trucks drove by the bridge. It was like an earthquake. My classmate suggested going to the beach at the bottom of the bridge to have a look if the bridge collapsed

说是桥底，眼前就在脚底下，但骑车要七拐八绕地走了八九分钟，先下了河岸(刚上来又下去了，惨)，穿过一片小树林，越过几道小河干，才到了桥底，一路上好多硕大的枯树半埋在沙堆里，可能好多年了，都朽得并不多了，听他说那是从唐古拉山漂过来的，我也不知是不是，就当他是瞎说吧……我的同学建议去吃个“早餐”再说，所谓早餐也就是烧饼绿豆粥等等，于是我就要了一个烤玉米和一个大番暑，我的同学要了一碗绿豆粥和大饼(稀粥中浮着几个绿豆皮)，我们跑到桥底吃了起来。这是我平生第一次吃这么特别的早餐，不过很好吃。

It's the bottom of the bridge. It's under my feet right now, but it takes me eight or nine minutes to walk around. I got off the Bank of the river first (just up and down, miserable). I went through a small forest, crossed several rivers, and then I got to the bottom of the bridge. A lot of dead trees were half buried in the sand along the way. Maybe for many years, they didn't decay much. I heard that they drifted from Tanggula Mountain. So did I I don't know if it's true. Let's take him as a liar My classmate suggested to have a "breakfast". In addition, the so-called breakfast is pancake making mung bean porridge and so on. So I asked for a baked corn and a big summer heat. My classmate asked for a bowl of mung bean porridge and a big cake (there are several mung bean skins floating in the porridge). We ran to the bottom of the bridge to eat. This is the first time in my life that I have such a special breakfast, but it's delicious.

吃饭中间我抽空看看这大桥，从这个角度看这黄河大桥，很壮观，桥有十几层楼那么高，一千多米长，因为年头比较久，加上是水泥钢铁结构，看起来很破旧，也就是因为有点仓桑感，更觉得这桥的高大。汽车从上面经过，听到隆隆声，还有好多灰尘落下来，在阳光下飞扬……

In the middle of the meal, I took time to look at the bridge. From this point of view, the Yellow River Bridge is very spectacular. The bridge is more than ten stories tall and more than a thousand meters long. Because of its long age and its cement and steel structure, it looks very shabby. That is to say, it feels a little bit like a Cangsang bridge, which makes it even more tall. The car passed by, heard the rumble, and a lot of dust fell down, flying in the sun

两个小姑娘走过来向我们推销纪念品，就是钥匙扣之类的东东，我不感兴趣，我那同学倒是挺感兴趣的，东摸摸西摸摸，问这问那，竟和那两个小姑娘聊得火热，可能山东人就是这么直爽的吧我心想，最后竟和我们合照了一张黄河大合照。我不好意思让她们白费心思就买了一把孔子扇。

Two little girls came to sell souvenirs to us, that is, the key chain and so on. I'm not interested. My classmate was quite interested. He felt the East and the west, asked about this and that, and talked with those two little girls. Maybe Shandong people are so straightforward. I thought, finally I took a picture of the Yellow River with us. I'm sorry that they bought a Confucius fan in vain.

吃过了早餐我们就沿着河床走，在黄河里骑自行车(不要笑)，这时我有机会看清这河水是怎么样子，我以前听说过“黄河的水三分泥”，可能是别的地方，济南的黄河水没那么多泥，黄就是黄了点，但黄得很透，但在感觉上一点都不赃，不比上海黄埔江污污地还漂着油珠，(珠海的也好不了多少，一荡一荡的满是垃圾，这是后话)。

After breakfast, we walked along the river bed and rode bicycles in the Yellow River (don't laugh). At this time, I had a chance to see what the river looked like. I've heard that "the water of the Yellow River is three parts muddy". Maybe it's from other places. The water of the Yellow River in Jinan is not so muddy. It's yellow, but it's very yellow, but it doesn't feel stolen at all. It's no better than the polluted land of the Huangpu River in Shanghai With the oil beads, (Zhuhai's is not much better, a lot of garbage, this is the latter part).

我们就这样悠悠地荡了一天，天色暗了才回济南，在山大门口我买了张地图，看着地图计划明天的行程，突然我发现这黄河画得好象一条蚯蚓。西西(完)

We wandered for a long day like this. When it was dark, we went back to Jinan. I bought a map at the gate of the mountain. Looking at the map, I planned the trip for tomorrow. Suddenly, I found that the Yellow River was painted like an earthworm. West (end)
