（单词翻译）

 From the lush green fields of the Delta1, the waters of the Nile flow onward2 towards the sea. Standing3 guard at the Mediterranean4 is the great port of Alexandria. I'd come to the end of my journey down the Nile. -Never ask. Remain it.

I travelled almost 3,000 miles through 3 very different countries, united by one extraordinary life-giving river.
-I think what this journey is really shown me is that this ** legacy5 of the Nile. Of course, some of the world's first great civilizations grew up on its back, but it was also central to the development of some of the world's great religions as well. What surprises me the most is just how important the Nile is today in shaping the beliefs, but also the politics, of the people who live on it. The key question about the Nile is who owns it. The answer will help to determine whether the river is shared peacefully or controled by force. Personally, I suspect most people would say that it should belong to everyone in the countries of the Nile.
-The Nile today is as important as it has ever been. hundreds of millions of people and entire countries depend on it, and they've got to find a way to share it.
