双语天地BilingualWorld 登高望远品乳泉 茉莉香中游横州
国庆假期，在此推荐两条“秋游广西”短途游线路。在那里，不但能登高望远，听风听涛，还能闻香品茗。
桂平西山禅茶合一。桂平西山，古称思陵山（又称思灵山）。据说，公元6世纪初，南朝梁武帝设置桂平郡后，西山就开始成为人们游览休息的场所。宋代理学家周敦颐曾携弟子程颢、程顾畅游西山，并留下“畅崖”二字石刻。苏东坡、徐霞客、孙中山等名人也曾到此地游览。
西山以林秀、石奇、泉甘、茶香而闻名，人称西山“四绝”。西山乳泉位于西山半山腰。“Xishan Mountain is famous for the
beautiful forest, strange stones, sweet spring
and tea. It is known as the Four Wonders of
Xishan Mountain. Ruquan Spring is locatedonthehillsideofthemountain.”。据清同治版《浔州府志》云：乳泉“清例如杭州龙井，而甘美过之。时有汁喷出，白如乳，故名乳泉”。
乳泉有一个传说。相传很久以前，浔州古城瘟疫流行。正当人们四处求神拜佛、占卜、问“仙”以消除病痛时，一名为吕正的放牛仔突然对大家说，他在西山脚下放牛遇到一位驾着白鹤的神仙。神仙告知，西山有一口会喷乳汁的泉，喝上一碗泉水就能治好瘟病。“Itwassaidthatalongtime ago, a pestilence was raging in the areaof Xunzhou ancient city. While people werepraying for Buddha for help to eliminatetheir pain,
a cowherd boy named Lv Zhengsuddenly
told everyone that
he ran
into animmortal
driving a white crane at the foot
ofthe Xishan Mountain. told
The immortalhim that there was a milk spring in themountain. Drinking a bowl of spring watercouldcurethepestilence.”。众人攀藤附葛上了西山，历尽艰苦，终于在半山腰的山岩下找到了这口喷乳汁的泉。最后，喝了乳泉的人都得救了。当然，这只是传说。据科学考察和分析，乳泉“白乳”实为细小的氡气泡。氡气是一种无色无味的惰性气体。“Accordingtoscientificinvestigationandanalysis, the white milk in Ruquan Spring isactually a small radon bubble. Radon is akindofcolorlessodorlessinertgas.”。暴雨后，山岩中所含的镭蜕变成氡气，随着地下水移动至喷泉中挤碰出来形成泡沫。这就是乳泉喷乳的由来。
“全球10朵茉莉花，有6朵来自广西横州”。金秋时节，最适合到横州来一场“闻香之旅”。9月12日上午，第三届世界茉莉花大会暨第十二届全国茉莉花茶交易博览会、2021年中国（横州）茉莉花文化节在南宁开幕，吸引了来自国内及东盟、“一带一路”沿线国家参展商的关注。“Onthemorning of September 12, the 3rd WorldJasmine Conference, the 12th National Jas-mine Tea Trade Expo and the 2021 China(Hengzhou) Jasmine Culture Festival wereheld in Nanning. That has attracted the at-tention of exhibitors from China, ASEANand the countries of the Belt and Road Ini-tiative.”。
根据部分中医药书籍的记载，茉莉花具有理气开郁及一定的消炎解毒作用。“According to the records of some books on
traditional Chinese medicine, jasmine has the
functions of regulating breathing, anti-de-
pression, anti-inflammation and detoxifica-tion.”。近年来，茉莉花茶成了一种养生茶，在市场上颇受欢迎。但是，你吃过凉拌茉莉花吗？如果没有，可以在横州游玩时尝一尝。“Inrecentyears,jasmineteahasbe-come a kind of health tea, which is very pop-ular in the market. Have you ever tried jas-mine salad? If not, you can try it when youvisit Hengzhou.”。
