去年11月间,我们从亚的斯亚贝巴飞往喀土穆。亚的斯亚贝巴到喀土穆仅一个多小时的航程。飞机离开了绿色的山城,爬上拔海数千米的高原山峰就飞行在茫茫云海之上,但转眼间它又匆匆穿出云层向平原俯扑。从机窗两边探望,左面是玉带般缓缓而流的白尼罗河,右面是青绿色,急奔而下的青尼罗河,两河之间紧挟着一片狭长的黄土地带,越往前就越窄,终于在喀土穆汇合成浩浩荡荡的尼罗河主流。喀土穆,阿拉伯文意即“象鼻子”,就是从它的地形——狭长地带的尖端——而得来的。 11月,从气候上说正是喀土穆的“黄金时代”,蓝晶晶的天空万里无云,灿烂的骄阳已经失去了夏日的毒热,把柔和的金光铺在瞬息多变的尼罗河上,洒在尼罗河边的大榕树上。夏天常见的恼人的“哈婆”(暴风沙)也已消声匿迹,暖洋洋的微风吹拂着成片的棕榈树林,吹起了苏丹人的白色长袍。常年保持华氏一百度以上的温度计已下降到九十度左右。冷气机和电风扇也暂时得到
Last November, we flew to Khartoum from Addis Ababa. Addis Ababa to Khartoum just over an hour’s journey. The plane left the green mountain city, climbing the plateau thousands of meters of altitude plateau flying in the vast sea of clouds, but in an instant it hastily pierced the clouds toward the plain overlooking. Visiting from both sides of the window, on the left is the Jade Belt White Nile, which flows slowly and slowly. On the right is a blue-green, blue-eyed Blue Nile. Between the two rivers lies a long, narrow loess belt, the narrower , Finally converged into the mighty Nile mainstream in Khartoum. Khartoum, the Arabic word for “elephant nose,” derives from its topography - the tip of the strip. In November, climate is exactly the “golden age” of Khartoum. The blue sky has a cloudless sky. The splendid sun has lost the heat of the summer. The soft golden light is spreading in the ever-changing Nile On, sprinkled on the Nile side of the big banyan tree. The annoying summer “Hapa” (storm sand) has vanished, and the warm breeze blowing into the palm trees and blowing the Sudanese white robe. A thermometer that maintains a Fahrenheit above 100 degrees Celsius has dropped to about ninety degrees Celsius. Air conditioners and electric fans are also temporarily available
