　　and had an exciting dragon

　　boat race.

　　今天我们一行人奔赴莒县。

　　Today, our crew is now heading

　　to Juxian County.

　　这回啊，可是要感受一下

　　This time around, we're going

　　to get a feel

　　日照的人文气息了。

　　for the history and culture

　　of Rizhao.

　　那我们今天的

　　Our today's

　　“万里海疆快乐行”

　　Happy Journey across China

　　就从这莒县博物馆开始吧。

　　will start from the Juxian

　　County Museum.
 

　韩佳： 渊源，发现什么宝贝啦？

　　Yuanyuan, did you find

　　any treasures?

　　王渊源：这儿出土的文物可太多了！

　　There are so many unearthed

　　objects here!

　　个个都是宝贝。

　　Every piece is a treasure.

　　你看这些小陶器。

　　Look at these little pottery objects.

　　样子多特别呀！

　　How unique they are!

　　韩佳： 是啊。

　　Yes, indeed.

　　莒县的历史非常悠久。

　　Juxian has a very long history.

　　可以说是

　　It can be said to be

　　早期人类的文化中心之一。

　　one of early humans' cultural centers.

　　那这些大汶口文化时期的陶器呢，

　　these pottery objects of Dawenkou Culture

　　距今已经有五千多年的历史了。

　　date from more than 5,000

　　years ago.

　　王渊源：哇，五千多年前，

　　Wow, more than 5,000 years ago,

　　就能有这样的技术！

　　there were already such fine techniques!

　　韩佳; 对啊。

　　Yes.

　　王渊源：真是不可思议啊。

　　It's just unbelievable.

　　韩佳： 哎，我再带你去看点儿特别的吧。

　　Eh, let me take you to see

　　something special.

　　王渊源：好啊。

　　OK.

　　这些都是什么时候的呀？

　　What period are all these from?

　　韩佳; 也是大汶口文化时期的呀。

　　They are also from the Dawenkou

　　Culture period.

　　王渊源：那可没有刚才

　　But they don't look

　　看到的那些那么精美啊。

　　as exquisite as those we

　　saw just now.

　　都是一些简单的图案。

　　The patterns are quite simple.

　　韩佳： 我要说的就是这些简单的图案。

　　What I wanted to talk to you about

　　are just these simple patterns.

　　它们虽然看上去很简单，

　　They may look simple,

　　但却是五千多年前的中国文字呀。

　　but they are Chinese characters

　　over 5,000 years ago.

　　王渊源：文字呀？

　　Are they characters?

　　韩佳： 嗯。

　　Yes, they are.

　　因为它们都是刻在

　　As they were all carved

　　出土的陶器上的，

　　on unearthed pottery objects,

　　所以呢，就被称为陶文。

　　these inscriptions are called

　　pottery script.

　　据考证，这种陶文

　　The pottery script

　　比甲骨文还要早两千多年呢。

　　existed over 2,000 years earlier

　　than the oracle bone script.

　　王渊源：比甲骨文还早呢！

　　Oh, earlier even than the oracle

　　bone script!

　　那这么说，

　　If that's true,

　　这些应该算是汉字的雏形了？

　　the script must have been an embryonic

　　form of Chinese characters, right?

　　韩佳： 哎，可以这么说啊。

　　Yes, you may say so.

　　“雏形”这个词呢

　　"Chuxing"

　　就是指某种事物

　　means an embryonic

　　在还没有定型之前的形式，

　　or earliest form

　　也就是最初的模样。

　　of something.

　　王渊源：“雏形”就是指某种事物最初的模样。

　　"Chuxing" means an embryonic form.

　　Zhèxiē táowén bèi rènwéi shì hànzì de chúxíng

　　这些 陶文 被 认为 是 汉字 的 雏形。

　　These pottery inscriptions

　　are believed to be an embryonic

　　form of Chinese characters.

　　旁白： 离莒县九公里的地方，

　　Nine kilometers from Juxian,

　　有一座郁郁葱葱的山峦浮来山。

　　there is a green mountain,

　　called Fulai.

　　千年古刹定林寺雄居山下。

　　The 1,000-year-old Dingling Temple

　　stands at the foot of the mountain.

　　南北朝时期，

　　During the Northern and Southern

　　Dynasties,

　　著名的大学问家刘勰

　　the famed scholar Liu Xie

　　晚年就归隐在这里。

　　lived in seclusion here during

　　his later years.

　　王渊源：刘勰？

　　Liu Xie, right?

　　是不是写《文心雕龙》的那一位啊？

　　Was he the man who wrote "The Literary

　　Mind and the Carving of Dragons"?

　　韩佳： 对对对，就是他。

　　Yes, yes, that's him.

　　哎，可以呀。

　　Wow, it's amazing.

　　连《文心雕龙》都知道啊！

　　You even know "The Literary Mind

　　and the Carving of Dragons"!

　　王渊源：那当然啦！

　　Of course, I do!

　　哎，这本书里写的是什么呀？

　　Eh, what is the book about?

　　韩佳： 光知道书名啊？

　　You only know the name

　　of the book?

　　这《文心雕龙》呢

　　"The Literary Mind and the

　　Carving of Dragons"

　　是中国第一部

　　is the first systematic Chinese work

　　完整的文学理论著作。

　　on literary theories.

　　里面全面地讲述了一些

　　The book talks at length

　　有关于文学创作方面的

　　about the theories and methods

　　原理和方法。

　　of literary creation.

　　王渊源：是吗？

　　Really?

　　韩佳： 嗯。

　　Yes.

　　王渊源：这本书好啊！

　　This must be a very good book!

　　要是有这么一本书，

　　If I had such a book,

　　还愁写不出好文章啊。

　　I wouldn't worry about writing

　　good texts at all.

　　韩佳： 渊源，你看，

　　Look, Yuanyuan,

　　这就是刘勰的雕像。

　　this is the statue of Liu Xie.

　　他从二十七岁开始写《文心雕龙》，

　　He started writing the book at age 27

　　一共花了五年的时间，

　　and it took him five years

　　终于完成了。

　　to complete it.

　　哎，你干吗呢？

　　Hey, what are you doing?

　　王渊源：我通读《文心雕龙》啊。

　　I'm reading in detail "Wen Xin

　　Diao Long".

　　这事儿啊，赶早不赶晚。

　　It's something to be done the

　　earlier the better.

　　早点儿看完，

　　The earlier I finish reading it,

　　就能早点儿写出好文章来。

　　the earlier I could write

　　good articles.

　　“赶早不赶晚”

　　"Gan zao bu gan wan"

　　意思就是能早点儿就早点儿，

　　means the earlier

　　越早越好。

　　the better.

　　韩佳： “赶早不赶晚”是句俗语，

　　"Gan zao bu gan wan" is a

　　folk adage,

　　意思就是能早点儿就早点儿，

　　meaning the earlier

　　越早越好。

　　the better.

　　得，那你慢慢看啊。

　　OK, take your time reading it.

　　我可要去看看

　　But I'll go to take a look

　　三千七百年的银杏树喽！

　　at a 3,700-year-old gingko tree!

　　王渊源：三千七百年的树啊？

　　A 3,700-year-old tree?

　　哎，你等等我呀。

　　Eh, wait for me.

　　我也得劳逸结合呀。

　　I have to combine work

　　with leisure.

　　哇，这么粗的树干！

　　Wow, the tree trunk is

　　so thick!

　　韩佳： 三千七百岁的银杏王啊！

　　It's the 3,700-year-old gingko king!

　　像咱俩这样的呀，

　　It would take five to six

　　people like us

　　五、六个人都合抱不过来。

　　with outstretched arms to

　　encircle it.

　　王渊源：够呛啊。

　　Oh, we could barely make it.

　　我就奇怪，

　　I was wondering,

　　这么多年，这树怎么还长得这么好啊，

　　over such a long period of time,

　　长得真好耶，

　　how the tree could still grow

　　so well

　　枝繁叶茂。

　　wish so much luxuriant foliage.

　　韩佳： “繁”和“茂”在这里呢

　　"Fan" and "mao" here

　　都是多的意思。

　　both mean many or luxuriant.

　　那这个词呢就是...

　　They are used here to mean ...

　　王渊源：哎呀，你不用解释了。

　　Oh, there's no need for

　　your explanation.

　　就看看这树就行了。

　　Just a look at the tree will

　　tell everything.

　　“枝繁叶茂”用来形容枝叶很多。

　　"Zhi fan ye mao" refers to

　　luxuriant foliage.

　　韩佳： 那我不解释，

　　I'll explain no more,

　　造个句总行吧。

　　but I have to make a sentence

　　with it.

　　Sān qiān duō nián de yínxìngshù yīrán zhī fán yè mào

　　三 千 多 年 的 银杏树 依然 枝 繁 叶 茂。

　　This more-than-3,000-year-old gingko

　　still has luxuriant foliage.

　　渊源，你想想啊，

　　Yuanyuan, just imagine,

　　三千多年啊，

　　in the past more than

　　3,000 years,

　　有多少人从这树底下经过呀。

　　how many people would have

　　passed under it.

　　王渊源：我呀不如就在这儿把书看完。

　　I think I'd better finish reading

　　the book here.

　　能在银杏王下看书、休息，

　　Reading a book and taking a

　　rest under

　　真是一大乐事。

　　this gingko king is really

　　something enjoyable.

　　旁白： 本想在这儿

　　I really wanted to read

　　好好看看《文心雕龙》，

　　"Wen Xin Diao Long" carefully here,

　　可韩佳非要带我去看什么

　　but Han Jia insists on taking

　　me to see

　　奇特的根雕艺术。

　　some sort of a unique root sculpture.

　　她呀，总能找到新鲜的东西。

　　She can always find something

　　fresh and new.

　　说实话，这《文心雕龙》

　　To tell the truth, "Wen Xin

　　Diao Long"

　　是用文言写的。

　　was written in classical Chinese.

　　我还真是看不太懂。

　　actually I don't quite understand

　　what it say.

　　要不就跟她去？

　　So why not go with her?

　　王渊源：这不是中国的地图嘛？

　　Isn't this a map of China?

　　韩佳： 嗯。这可是用一整块树根

　　Yes. But it was carved out of

　　雕刻而成的呀。

　　a whole tree root.

　　王渊源：哇，真奇特！

　　Wow, it's really unique!

　　那我们“万里海疆快乐行”

　　It was from here that our

　　Happy Journey

　　应该是从这儿出发的吧？

　　across China started off, right?

　　韩佳： 没错儿，辽宁丹东嘛。

　　Exactly, Dandong of Liaoning.

　　就在这块地方。

　　It's right here.

　　哇，你看我们沿途

　　Wow, look, we have already

　　已经经过了这么多地方了！

　　passed these many places!

　　那现在应该是...

　　Our current location should be ...

　　哎，到这儿了，日照。

　　oh, here-Rizhao.

　　王渊源：日照，

　　Then from Rizhao

　　那等我们走到广西

　　to Guangxi, there is still

　　还挺漫长的呀。

　　a long way to go for us.

　　韩佳： 虽然路途还很漫长，

　　Though there is still a long

　　way to go,

　　不过啊，我们是

　　as ours is

　　“万里海疆快乐行”嘛。

　　a Happy Journey across China,

　　收获知识，收获快乐，

　　we'll reap knowledge and happiness

　　而且沿途可以看到这么多

　　while enjoying beautiful scenery

　　Absolutely!

　　韩佳： 好了，

　　Well,

　　看完了莒县的美丽风光之后呢，

　　after seeing Juxian's beautiful scenery,

　　我们又要继续赶路啦。

　　we're going to hit the road again.

　　王渊源：哎，等等。

　　Hey, wait a minute.

　　咱们得去把那幅根雕地图带上，

　　We should take that sculpted map

　　with us

　　省得迷路啊。

　　just in case we lose our way.

　　韩佳： 啊。那要带你带啊。

　　Oh. Take it with you if you want.

　　我可带不动。

　　I don't have the strength to

　　take it with me.
