Tombs and temples of ancient Egypt follow the Nile well into Sudan. Driving southward from Cairo into the valley, I entered a landscape that owed little to the present era. For the next 1,800 miles the thin blue ribbon of the Nile, flowing slowly north, unwound over brown soil and green fields, some only a few yards wide, others as broad as an Iowa cornfield. At the edge of the fields, rising in dramatic hills or stretching flat to the horizon, lay the brown barren deserts. The road followed the course of the Nile, now passing through the fields, now drawing a black line separating them from the desert.

尼罗河沿岸直到苏丹境内很远的地方,到处可以见到古埃及的坟墓和寺庙。我从开罗驱车南行,进入尼罗河河谷,这里的景色还没有受到多少现代的影响。从这里再往前一千八百英里,尼罗河像一条细细的蓝色丝带,缓缓流向北方,沿途穿过棕色的土地和绿色的田野,这田地窄的不过几码,宽的则赶得上美国伊阿华州的玉米地。田地外边是寸草不生的棕色沙漠,有的地方突然隆起像是小山,有的地方则平平地伸向地平线。公路是顺着尼罗河修筑的,有时穿过庄稼地,有时像是划的一条黑线,这边是庄稼,那边是沙漠。

在中国,最重要的节日是农历新年。由于它是依据农历而来,所以大约比阳历新年晚了一个月。传统上,中国新年节庆约持续一个月,但为了不让工作期间中断太久,现在都已缩短为一个星期左右。中国农历年和西方阳历年有些相似之处,譬如像大扫除、全家团圆。所有的债务都要还清,这样新年才有个新开始。与家人、朋友共享盛宴,街上有栩栩如生的舞龙舞狮表演。到处都听得到爆竹声。小孩子们收受装了钱的红包。

The most important holiday in China is the Lunar New Year. Since it is based on the lunar calendar, it comes about a month later than the Western New Year. The Chinese New Year season traditionally lasts about a month . The period has now been reduced to a week or less. There are some parallels with the Western New Year: houses are cleaned thoroughly, for instance, and families all get together for the festivities. All debts must be paid off so that new year can be started with a fresh beginning. Feasts are enjoyed with family and friends, and there are lively dragon and lion dances in the streets. Everywhere there is the sound of fire cracker explosions. Children receive gifts of little red envelopes with money inside them.
