原文：

       All this suggested ancient harmonies. Yet the Nile has been changed by modern man in ways not yet fully understood. In 1971 engineers and workers completed the Aswan High Dam, nearly 600 miles upriver from Cairo toward the Sudanese frontier. It is the greatest public work to be undertaken in Egypt since the Pyramids. The devastating floods and droughts that imposed a recurrent tax of suffering on the fellahin no longer occur. Egyptian agriculture has been transformed, and industry is benefiting from power generated by the dam.

译文：

这些都使人感到古代的和谐。然而现代人却使尼罗河发生变化，即使他们自己也不完全明白发生了什么变化。1971年，工程师和工人们建成了阿斯旺高坝（Aswan High Dam），水坝位于开罗到苏丹边境将近600英里的上游。这是自建造金字塔以来，埃及进行的最伟大的一项公共工程。过去给农民带来灾难的水灾和旱灾不复存在。埃及的农业得以改造，从大坝中产生的电力也使工业受益。
