莱茵河流经德国的部分长度为865公里，流域面积占德国总面积的40%，它是德国的摇篮。
The part of the Rhine River flowing through Germany is 865 kilometers long, and the drainage area accounts for 40% of the total area of Germany. It is the cradle of Germany.
流域面积22,0000平方千米；
The drainage area is 220,000 square kilometers.
年径流量高达790亿立方米；
The annual runoff is as high as 79 billion cubic meters.
它发源于瑞士境内的阿尔卑斯山北麓；
It originates from the northern foot of the Alps in Switzerland.
它流经列支敦士登、奥地利、瑞士 、法国、德国、荷兰。
It flows through Liechtenstein, Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
流域内气候多样，

The west is influenced by a maritime climate, while the east has a more continental climate.
莱茵河有两条源流，
The Rhine River has two sources,
即前莱茵河(Vorderrhein)和后莱茵河(Hinterrhein)；
namely the Vorderrhein and the Hinterrhein.
前莱茵河：
The Vorderrhein:
河道全长76公里；
The total length of the river course is 76 kilometers.
流域面积1512平方公里；
The drainage area is 1,512 square kilometers.
平均流量每秒53.8立方米；
The average flow is 53.8 cubic meters per second.
它发源于瑞士-托马湖(Lake Toma)，
It originates from Lake Toma in Switzerland.
它向东流经瑞士-迪森蒂斯(Disentis)，
It flows eastward through Disentis in Switzerland.
它在瑞士-赖谢瑙(Reichenau)，与来自南方的后莱茵河会合，称莱茵河。
It flows eastward through Disentis in Switzerland.
后莱茵河：
The Hinterrhein:
河道全长64公里；
The total length of the river course is 64 kilometers.
流域面积1693平方公里；
The drainage area is 1,693 square kilometers.
平均流量每秒59.6立方米。
The average flow is 59.6 cubic meters per second.
流经-瑞士库尔后，莱茵河自南向北流动，
After flowing through Chur「/tʃɜːr/」 in Switzerland, the Rhine River flows from south to north,
首次形成瑞士和列支敦斯登(Liechtenstein)公国间的界河；
Forming the boundary river between Switzerland and the Principality 「/ˌprɪnsɪˈpæləti/」of Liechtenstein「ˈlɪxtənstaɪn」 for the first time.
莱茵河在奥地利-布雷根茨附近注入博登湖上湖，
The Rhine River flows into the Obersee of Lake Constance near Bregenz in Austria.
经博登湖下湖流出，
自东向西流向瑞士-巴塞尔，
形成瑞士—德国间的界河；
It flows out through the Untersee of Lake Constance and flows from east to west to Basel in Switzerland,
Forming the boundary river between Switzerland and Germany.
在瑞士-巴塞尔下方，
自南向北流动，形成法国—德国间的界河；
Below Basel in Switzerland,
it flows from south to north, forming the boundary river between France and Germany.
最后，在荷兰-鹿特丹附近，注入北海。
