Where the two meet, the land is constantly exposed to the relentless attack of the waves, which are always washing material away. But the land also has the power to heal its own wounds. On the island of Taiwan, 157 rivers work night and day carrying down silt to replace the sand and stones carried off by the waves.
陸、海交接處，陸地不時承受著浪滔沖擊，時有流失；但陸地也有自療機能，在台灣島上，一百五十七條河流，夜以繼日、含沙帶泥一路而下，補充了被波浪帶走的砂石。
