我的家乡，就在怀化。曾经，这里有一条养育了世世代代怀化人的河，它清澈见底，仿佛丝绸无丁点瑕疵。人们吮吸着她那甘甜的“乳汁”，一天天得以长大。这条河，就是我们怀化人的母亲河——舞水河。
My hometown is in Huaihua. Once upon a time, there was a river that raised Huaihua people from generation to generation. It was clear and bottomless, as if there were no flaws in silk. People suck her sweet milk and grow up day by day. This river is the mother river of Huaihua people - Wushui river.
渐渐地，人们变得懒惰了，他们随意地将垃圾扔进了她的身体，为了更方便的获取她的资源，那些因为吸取她“乳汁”长大的人们在她的身边建起了工厂，污水肆意地嘲她咆哮，她沉默了……
Gradually, people become lazy. They throw garbage into her body at will. In order to obtain her resources more conveniently, those who grow up because of sucking her "milk" have built factories beside her. The sewage mocks her wantonly. She is silent
她变的很脏了，无数的垃圾远远不断地倾倒在岸边；她变得很臭了，黑黑的污水无情地排向了河中间；她生病了，不再清澈了，不再有活力了。鱼儿们也被她熏得四处逃窜，再也不愿意呆在那样的环境中。水草缺因吸收水中大量的氧气而疯长起来，河水的环境越来越恶化了。她哭了，因为事情越来越偏离她的预料了……
She became very dirty, countless garbage was dumped on the bank; she became very smelly, black sewage was mercilessly discharged into the middle of the river; she was sick, no longer clear, no longer energetic. The fish were also driven to flee by her, and would not stay in such an environment any longer. The lack of water and grass grows up because of absorbing a lot of oxygen in the water. The environment of the river water is getting worse and worse. She cried because things were getting more and more out of her expectation
水草的过剩繁殖引起了大家的注意，人们逐渐认识到了自己的过错，于是开始挽救这一切：市政府开始多建垃圾厂，并严禁工厂将污水排放到河流中。我们也不甘落后起来，保证自己不乱扔垃圾，拥有以身作则的气概，看到垃圾主动将它捡起丢进垃圾桶；培养主人翁的意识，让那些乱扔垃圾的人主动将其捡起并入桶。我们这些喝舞水河长大的子民们都已经行动起来了，让我们从自己做起，从现在做起，注意生活细节。增强环保意识。总之，我们绝不允许母亲河再经受第二次伤害！
The overgrowth of water and grass has attracted people's attention. People have gradually realized their own fault, so they began to save all this: the municipal government began to build more garbage plants, and prohibited factories from discharging sewage into rivers. We are not willing to fall behind, to ensure that we do not litter, and have the spirit of setting an example, to see that garbage is picked up and thrown into the trash can; to cultivate the sense of ownership, and let those who litter actively pick up and put into the trash can. We, the people who grew up drinking dancing water, have already taken action. Let's start from ourselves, now, and pay attention to the details of life. Enhance environmental awareness. In short, we will never allow mother river to suffer a second injury!
看到我们大家的共同努力，她笑了，她终于可以变回到那个纯净的她了！有一天的夜里，我看见我们飞快的跑向河边，捧起一掌心的水，虽然它缓缓地回到她的怀抱，不过那份纯洁已深深地刻在了我的心中。她终于能够释怀了，而我们也终于找到了我们身边的那份美丽的母亲河。
Seeing the joint efforts of all of us, she smiled, and she could finally return to the pure her! One night, I saw us running to the river and holding a palm of water. Although it slowly returned to her arms, the purity was deeply engraved in my heart. She finally can let go, and we finally found the beautiful mother river beside us.
梦，固然是美好的，但是我相信通过我们大家的奋斗她一定能尽快回到曾经的风采。母亲河，你在我心中依然是那样的美丽，放心吧，我不会再让你被其它的支流排斥了，我会用自己的能力让我的母亲河永远保持美！
Dream, of course, is beautiful, but I believe that through the struggle of all of us, she will be able to return to her former style as soon as possible. Mother river, you are still so beautiful in my heart. Don't worry, I won't let you be rejected by other tributaries. I will use my own ability to keep my mother river beautiful forever!
