Despite viewing it from a distance this footage demonstrates the magnificent force of one of the world's most powerful dams.
尽管我们是从远处端详它，但这个镜头着实向我们华丽地展示了世界上最强悍的大坝。
The Xiluodu Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River in China - which was built with 240 million cubic feet (6.8 million cubic metres) of concrete - spews out a record 164 feet (50 metres) of water per second when it is in full flow.
溪洛渡水力发电站坐落在中国的金沙江（四川和云南交界处）畔，这个大坝用掉了680万立方米混凝土，当大坝蓄满水时候开闸放水的速度突破每秒50米下降水位的记录。
Standing 937 feet (285.5 metres) tall it is one of tallest dams around - measuring almost six times the height of Niagara Falls. New video clips taken from the sky shows water violently cascading through the giant artificial barrier with mist filling the surrounding steep-cut valley.
大坝高285.5米，是世界上最高的大坝，据测量是尼亚加拉瀑布的6倍高。最新的航拍视频里可以看到水从大坝中冲出，溅起的水雾弥漫整个峡谷。

Xiluodu which opened in July 2013 is the world's third-largest hydropower station. It took eight years and 79.2 billion yuan (￡9 billion) to construct the beast.
2013年投入使用的溪洛渡水电站是世界上第三大水电站。建成这个巨型水电站耗资792亿元人民币，工程历经8年完工。
Last year it received global recognition after the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) awarded the station as a FIDIC Outstanding Project of the Year.Liao Jianxin an engineering director with the project's contractor China Three Gorges Corporation said the 'intelligent management system' of the dam won the judges over.
去年获得国际咨询工程师联合会杰出建筑奖，作为三峡集团的工程指导，廖建新说到是大坝的智能管理系统赢得了大会的认可。
'The digital dam in a nutshell consists of the thermometer strain gauge and other detecting equipment in the concrete of the dam.
大坝的智能管理系统是由无数温度检测仪器和其他检测设备组成。
'The whole construction process was monitored by these equipment which gives a real-time account of the stress state and condition of the dam for the convenience of adjustment' said Liao.
廖工程师说，在整个大坝施工过程中，对大坝的受力情况进行实时检测预警，并有相应对策。
The Three Gorges Dam also in China is the world's largest power station in terms of power output.
三峡大坝是中国也是世界上最大的水力发电站。
This is then followed by the Itaipu Dam on the Paraná River between Brazil and Paraguay. Xiluodu scores third place.
世界上第二大水电站是坐落在巴西和巴拉圭交接的巴拉那河上的伊泰普水电站，溪洛渡水电站紧随其后成为世界第三大水电站。
