在杭州這個“天堂之城”眾多有趣的景點中，舉世聞名的錢塘江是個獨特的景點，它將杭州變成了一個寧靜而又溫和的城市。

Among the many interesting sights in this paradise city,the world-renowned Qiantang River tide is a peculiar attraction,detracting in a way from the image of Hangzhou as tranquil and gentle city.

　　錢塘江潮高達3.5米，是在世界上無可比擬的驚人的自然奇觀。

The Qiantang River tidal bore,which rises to a height of as much as 3.5m,is a spectacular natural wonder that is probably without parallel in the world.

　　在英國的塞文河、法國的塞納河、南美的亞馬遜河和其他河口，也有較小的潮汐波，但沒有一個能比得上錢塘江的大小。

Smaller tidal bores also occur on England's Severn River,the Seine in France,the Amazon in South America and other river mouths,but none of them can rival Qiantang's in magnitude.

　　專家們説，錢塘江的喇叭狀的嘴，結合了天體的引力和地球自轉産生的離心力，有助於産生著名的潮汐波。

The trumpet-shaped mouth of the Qiantang River,combined with the gravitation of the celestial bodies and the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the earth help generate the extraordinary tidal waves it is famous for,say experts.

　　在節日期間，勇敢和專業的游泳者排著隊證明他們與潮汐鬥爭的勇氣。

During the festival,brave and expert swimmers line up to test their valor against the might of the tide each year.

　　有一些人會嘗試在特製的木板上沖浪。他們被中國人稱為“潮人”或“潮人”，他們被認為是中國第一代沖浪者。這是對他們的勇敢和技能的一種致敬，“nong chao er”現在是指在逆境中勇敢無畏的人。

There are historical records of men who would attempt to ride the waves of the tide on specially constructed boards.Known in Chinese as"nong chao er"or tide player,they are regarded as the first generation of Chinese surfers.It is a tribute to their daring and skill that the word"nong chao er"has now come to mean people who are brave and courageous in the face of the adversity.

　　今年，錢塘江潮汐觀看節將於9月27日至29日舉行。

This year,the Qiantang River Tide Watching Festival is to be held from 27 to 29 September.
