壮丽的奥里诺科河(Le Superbe Orénoque)

这两个固执而博学的人已经互不相让地争吵了整整三个小时，话题是奥里诺科河，南美洲一条著名的河流，委内瑞拉的大动脉。两人争执不下的是它的支流问题：奥里诺科河最初的一段，若果真像新近出版的地图上所标画的那样是自东向西流，那么阿塔巴布河就不应称作它的支流而是它的正源。 （ These two stubborn and knowledgeable persons have quarreled with each other without giving up for whole three hours around the topic Orinoco, a famous river in South America and big artery of Venezuela. They bickered about the tributaries of it: if the original section of Orinoco really flowed from east to west as drawn in the newly-published map, then Atta Babu River could not have been called as its tributary but its true source.)
