| More than 60 mountain rivers have flowed into Lake Tana, but only one river flows out, the Blue Nile. Virtually dry just a few months ago, it has now become a very different river. The highlanders call these falls Tis Lsat. It means ''smoking fire''. This, surely, is a force powerful enough to carry the great flood thousands of kilometres to the deserts of Egypt. Gathering speed and power, the floodwaters sweep on into the Blue Nile Gorge. Well over a thousand metres deep, nearly 20 kilometres wide and over 600 kilometres long, this is Africa's Grand Canyon. From all over the highlands, other huge rivers pour into the Blue Nile Gorge. By the time it leaves Ethiopia, the Blue Nile will be 50 times the size it was in the dry season. Now the Blue Nile is carrying 140 million tonnes of fertile soil. For a million years, the Blue Nile has been carving this huge gash through the Ethiopian Highlands, grinding down the volcanic rock, grain by grain, to form the enormous gorge. | |
| 注入塔纳湖的山区河流超过六十条，但流出的却只有青尼罗河一条。几个月前几乎干涸的青尼罗河现在已经不可同日而语。高原人把这些瀑布叫作“Tis Isat”，意思是“冒烟的火”。 如此强大的力量当然足以将大洪水带到几千公里之外的埃及沙漠中。蓄积了速度与力量的大洪水以千军万马之势冲进青尼罗河峡谷。深一千多米，宽近20公里，长600多公里，这座峡谷算得上是非洲的大峡谷。 发源于高原各地的其他大河陆续倾入青尼罗河。到大河流出埃塞俄比亚的时候，青尼罗河的体积将会是旱季时的50倍。现在的青尼罗河正夹带著一亿四千万吨的肥沃土壤。百万年来，奔涌而过的青尼罗河一粒粒地琢磨着火山岩，在埃塞俄比亚高原上冲刷出这道巨大切口，日积月累地刻凿出这座巨大峡谷。 |
