关于南方水灾的英语作文

陈　亚／供稿

编者按：今年六、七月以来，我国江南、华南和西南东部发生了大范围持续性强降雨，很多地方遭受了严重的洪涝灾害。据水文部门分析，长江中游干流可能出现接近或超过常年均值水位的洪水，上游有可能发生较大洪水。

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual. Now the floods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

严重的水灾

长江是中国最长的河流。它对我们中国人十分重要。但这些天长江给我们带来了严重的水灾。

许多村庄被洪水冲毁。洪水使成千上万的人失去了家园、亲人和朋友。许多孩子不能像平常—样去学校了。现在洪水引起了全球的注意。国外友人也给予了援助。在中国，上百万的战士忙于与洪水搏斗。他们努力工作，许多人在救村民时献出了自己的生命。

尽管我们不能帮助他们抗洪，但我们可以帮他们重建家园。我们可以捐出零花钱和衣服。我相信在不久的将来大多数人会回到家乡。
