(单词翻译)

 Can India's great river and a culture more than 3,500 years old survive the pressures of the 21st century? And there it is, the holy Ganges, it's a river that is revered1 as a Goddess, the reason i'm starting my journey here is because above this point these two rivers are known by their local names, it's the town of D where they converge2 that this officially becomes the mighty3 sacred Ganges, central to my desire to make this journey like to make the series of journeys along sacred rivers, it's a realization4 that if I want to really understand a country that I have to understand the faith and the beliefs of the people who live there, India is an emerging economic superpower, it's going to be the most populous5 country in the world for what its people really think and believe.

The Ganges is not the longest river on the planet, but from this spot in D, it flows down onto the plains of India, watering the lands of around half a billion people.
