恒河水

It is said that if one bathes in the Ganges or even sprinkles three drops of Ganges water on his head, he becomes freed from past sins.

传说在恒河中沐浴，甚至只要将三滴恒河水洒在人的头上，他就会从以往的罪孽中解脱出来。

But thawing glaciers and melting snow are not the only sources of water that feed the Ganges.

但冰河融化水和融化的雪水并非恒河水唯一的来源。

Still only 150 miles from its true source above Gangotri, the Ganges finally bursts from the last line of hills out onto the plains.

在距离恒河真正源头仅150英里的地方，恒河水终于冲破山脉的最后边线，向着平原倾斜而下。

Soon the moon rose in the sky, bathing temples, trees, flowers, and the rippling surface of the Ganges in its light.

月亮很快地从天空升起来，它的光线沐浴着庙宇、树木、花朵和涟漪的恒河水。

These mountain slopes feed the true headwaters of the Ganges.

这些山脉才是恒河水的真正源头。
