旅行在“绿色的走廊”飞机在开罗上空盘旋一周以后,就向埃及南方的卢克索飞去。人的视界逐渐扩大了,这时才感到在开罗所见的苍郁繁茂的景色,只不过是荒凉的沙漠里的一个斑点而已。从飞机上看来,整个埃及好像是在黄色的盘子里托着一片巨大的银杏树叶子。这片叶子就是尼罗河和它在入海处的三角洲。它的西边是世界上最干燥炎热的利比亚沙漠,东边是阿拉伯沙漠,直到红海海岸。沿尼罗河的地形是很奇怪的。从开罗向南,两侧都是平坦的沙漠,远处有沙石的山脉,但愈往南,两边的山愈向河流逼拢,直到阿斯旺,两边的山已经直逼河岸,这就形成一个修筑水坝的自然的峡口。尼罗河,人们通常称它作沙漠中的绿带,或绿色的走廊。我们曾沿着这条走廊从埃及最南部的阿斯旺到北部的开罗。从这次旅行中,我们真正感觉到从沙漠手中夺取土地在埃及有多么大的意义,而这场斗争又是多么 Travel A week after the “Green Corridor” aircraft circled over Cairo, it flew to Luxor, Egypt’s south. The horizon of human beings has gradually widened, and at that moment, the gloomy view of what was seen in Cairo was only a blotch in the desolate desert.

It is west of the world’s driest and hot Libyan desert, east of the Arabian desert, until the Red Sea coast. The terrain along the Nile is very strange. From Cairo to the south, flanked by flat deserts and sandy mountains in the distance, the more the mountains on both sides, the more the mountains tend to converge, until Aswan, the hills on either side are almost equal to the banks of the river. Form a natural gorge to build a dam. The Nile, often referred to as the green belt in the desert, or the green corridor. We have traveled along this corridor from Aswan, the southernmost part of Egypt, to Cairo in the north. From this trip, we really feel how big it is to take land from the desert in Egypt, and how big is this fight
