The rivers which lie at the heart of Dai life and culture
河流穿越了傣族人生活與習俗的心臟地帶
flow from the distant mountains of Tibet,
發源于西藏遙遠的山脈之中
southward through central Yunnan in great parallel gorges.

The Dai now live inthe borders oftropical Vietnam and Laos,

but their legends tell of how their ancestors came here
他們的傳說講述了先輩是怎樣來到這兒的
by following the rivers from mountain lands in the cold far north.

Lying atthe far eastern end ofthe Himalayas,
頭枕著遙遠的喜馬拉雅山脈東部的末端

Yet, its formidable peak remains unconquered.
然而她那令人敬畏的頂點至今未被征服
Yunnan's mountains are remote,rugged and inaccessible.
云南的山不但遙遠而且崎嶇
Here the air is thin and temperatures can drop below minus 40 degrees.
