一、很书面化的“解说词”原文：坎儿井
坎儿井(Karez)是新疆干旱地区的一-种水利系统，由地下渠道将水井连接而成。该系统将春夏季节渗入(seep into)地下的大量雨水及积雪融水收集起来，通过山体的自然坡度引到地面，用于灌溉农田和满足人们的日常用水需求。坎儿井减少了水在地面的蒸发(evaporation),对地表破坏很小，因而有效地保护了自然资源与生态环境。坎儿井体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是对人类文明的一大贡献。
二、“口语化”“花式”汉译英：
Karez is a system of wells widely used/popular in Xinjiang for its dry soil/land.The wells are connected/joined/linked together by underground channels.The wells collect water from rainfalls or melt snow seeping into the ground in spring and summer.The water is then introduced up to the ground surface through the natural slops of hills.The wells supply water for farming and for local people' daily use/consumption.
Karez slows water on ground surface from going up in the air.It also does little harm to the surface.Both the natural resources and eco-environment are therefore under good protection.Karez is a good example that shows the wisdom of the Chinese people in living in harmony with nature in addition to a great/tremendous contribution to human civilization/the civilization of man/mankind.
