“下游河段”常见的英文表达是 "the lower reach of the river" 或 "the downstream section of the river"。
"lower reach" 侧重于描述河流的下游部分,是地理学中常用的术语。
"downstream section" 则更直观地表达了水流方向上的下游段落,在日常交流或专业报告中均可使用。
根据具体语境和表达习惯,你可以选择其中一种或结合使用。例如:
The water quality in the lower reach of the river has been significantly affected by industrial pollution.(工业污染已显著影响这条河的下游河段水质。)
We conducted a detailed survey of the downstream section of the Yangtze River.(我们对长江的下游河段进行了详细调查。)
