毫无讽刺地说，在这样一个崇尚当地有机食品(用来自遥远地方的水浇灌的)、瑜伽(身体同时被整体瑜伽改变)以及整容手术的城市，这条河流恰恰是她所流过地区的真实写照。

In a city that worships, without irony, organic, local food grown with distant water and bodies simultaneously toned by holistic yoga and cosmetic surgery, the river mirrors what it runs through.

沿河的稻田和麦田都是一片焦土.运河干枯成浅溪 渔船搁浅在干地上.本来用于浇灌土地的水泵现在毫无意义地悬在污浊的水坑上方.

Along the river, rice and wheat fields have turned to baked dirt. Canals have dwindled to shallow streams, and fishing boats sit on dry land.

神的河满了水。 你这样浇灌了地，好为人豫备五谷。

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
