　　可是中国文化中，

　　are all parts of Chinese culture.

　　关于神仙的传说和故事

　　and stories

　　韩佳： 快乐学汉语，万里海疆行。

　　Learn Chinese the fun way and enjoy

　　a Happy Journey across China!

　　我是快乐的韩佳。

　　I'm Merry Han Jia.

　　王渊源：我是快乐的王渊源。

　　And I'm Happy Wang Yuanyuan.

　　韩佳： 古人云：

　　As the ancient saying goes,

　　“山不在高，

　　"What matters most for mountain

　　is not its height,

　　有仙则名。”

　　but its heavenly inspiration."

　　那我们今天的这一站

　　The stop for us today

　　正好是以仙而出名的。

　　is famous for its fabled fairies.

　　王渊源：没错儿。就是传说中

　　Exactly. It is Penglai,

　　三神山之一的蓬莱。

　　one of the three Legendary Mountains.

　　韩佳： 那传说中的三神山

　　The three Legendary Mountains

　　指的就是蓬莱、方丈和瀛洲。

　　refer to Penglai, Fangzhang

　　and Yingzhou.

　　那可是历代帝王

　　They were the places wher

　　emperors of various dynasties

　　梦想得道成仙的地方。

　　wanted to become immortals.

　　坐落在丹崖山上的蓬莱阁

　　Penglai Pavilion perched on

　　Danya Mountain

　　始建于北宋时期，

　　was first built in the Northern

　　Song Dynasty,

　　距今已经有上千年的历史了。

　　having a history of 1,000 years.

　　它跟湖南的岳阳楼、湖北的黄鹤楼、

　　Penglai Pavilion, Yueyang Tower

　　in Hunan, Huanghe Tower in Hubei

　　江西的滕王阁一起

　　and Tengwang Pavilion in

　　Jiangxi are known

　　并称中国古代四大名楼。

　　as China's Top Four ancient towers.

　　王渊源：能入选四大名楼，

　　To be ranked among the Top Four,

　　一定有它特别的地方。

　　it must have something very special.

　　韩佳： 没错儿。你看，

　　You're right. You see,

　　岳阳楼有范仲淹的文，

　　as Yueyang Tower boasts an

　　inscription by Fan Zhongyan,

　　黄鹤楼有崔颢的诗，

　　Huanghe Tower boasts a poem

　　by Cui Hao and

　　滕王阁有王勃的文，

　　Tengwang Pavilion boasts a poem

　　by Wang Bo,

　　当然了，这蓬莱阁也毫不逊色。

　　Penglai Pavilion should be,

　　of course, no exception.

　　它有苏东坡的《海市诗》。

　　It boasts Su Dongpo's poem

　　on a mirage.

　　王渊源：哎，你这么一说倒提醒我了，

　　Oh, what you said reminds me that

　　是不是在这里有时候能看到海市蜃楼呢？

　　there are mirages here sometimes, right?

　　韩佳： 对啊。有时候，

　　Exactly. Sometimes,

　　从这里看远处的海面，

　　if you look at the distant sea

　　surface from here,

　　会出现很多高楼、树木之类的幻景。

　　you may see illusions of tall

　　buildings and trees,

　　而且不断地在变化。

　　which keep changing constantly.

　　非常奇妙！

　　Just fantastic!

　　王渊源：那可真跟仙境一样了！

　　It'd be like a fairyland!

　　韩佳： 没错儿。那这“蜃”呢

　　Absolutely. "Shen"

　　是传说中的一种大蛤蜊。

　　is said to be a giant clam.

　　古代人认为这种现象

　　The ancients believed the phenomenon

　　都是由于大蛤蜊吐气吐出来的。

　　was caused by the steam exhaled

　　by the clam.

　　所以就叫海市蜃楼。

　　Therefore it's called "hai shi shen lou".

　　但其实这种现象

　　In fact, the phenomenon

　　是由于光透过不同密度的气层

　　is caused by the light that is refracted

　　折射而成的。

　　through atmospheric stratums of

　　different density.

　　旁白： 即使没能看到海市蜃楼的奇景，

　　Though unable to see a mirage today,

　　走在蓬莱阁上，

　　standing on Penglai Pavilion

　　看到远处海天辽阔、浩淼无际，

　　and seeing the vast and endless

　　sea and sky

　　也能感受到人间仙境的意境。

　　can also give the visitor a sense

　　of a fairyland on earth.

　　传说八仙就是在这里喝醉了酒

　　It's said that the Eight Immortals

　　got drunk here

　　才一起飘洋过海的。

　　before flying across the ocean.

　　王渊源：有意思！你看这位。

　　Interesting! Look at this one.

　　一看就是喝醉了。

　　He is obviously drunk.

　　韩佳： 这位是曹国舅。

　　He is Cao Guojiu.

　　你再看看蓝采和。

　　And look at Lan Caihe.

　　他醉得更厉害，

　　He is even more deadly drunk,

　　干脆都抱着凳子睡着了。

　　falling asleep with a stool

　　in his arms.

　　王渊源：看他们这醉态，

　　Seeing how drunk they are

　　我自己也要醉了似的。

　　makes me feel as if I was also drunk.

　　韩佳： 你可别。

　　You mustn't.

　　王渊源：我是说我被这里的美景陶醉了。

　　I mean I an intoxicated with

　　the scenery here.

　　“醉”除了有喝醉的意思，

　　"Zui", in addition to meaning drunk,

　　也指沉浸在某种境界中。

　　can also refer to being lost

　　in something.

　　“陶醉”指沉浸在某种境界中。

　　So "taozui" means to get lost

　　in something.

　　韩佳： 没错儿。“陶醉”的意思就是说

　　Exactly. "Taozui" means to

　　很满意地沉浸在某种境界里。

　　be lost in something exciting.

　　渊源，这样吧，

　　I think, Yuanyuan,

　　我们还是来给大家举个例子，

　　we should also give an example

　　这样就能更清楚地知道

　　so that our audience can better

　　“陶醉”该怎么用了。

　　understand how to use "taozui".

　　Tā táozuì zài měilì de jǐngsè zhōng le

　　他 陶醉 在 美丽 的 景色 中 了。

　　He lost himself in the beautiful scenery.

　　王渊源：这么美的地方，

　　As the place is very beautiful,

　　八仙说不定真是被陶醉了呢。

　　maybe the Eight Immortals were

　　really intoxicated by it.

　　韩佳： 不会吧。

　　It couldn't be true.

　　旁白： 说起八仙，我和渊源可来了兴致。

　　When talking about the Eight Immortals,

　　both Yuanyuan and I got into high spirits.

　　既然到了仙境，

　　Now that we are in this

　　fabled fairyland,

　　不如我们也扮回神仙。

　　we'd better put on a play about

　　the immortals.

　　王渊源：我要扮成吕洞宾，

　　I'll play the part of Lu Dongbin,

　　八仙里就数他最潇洒了。

　　the most handsome of the

　　Eight Immortals.

　　韩佳： 那我也只能扮演何仙姑了。

　　And I have only to play the only

　　female role of He Xiangu.

　　没得选！

　　I have no choice!

　　郭金： 哎，我说老李，

　　Hey, Lao Li,

　　这身衣服还挺适合你的。

　　this costume suits you perfectly.

　　张晶： 老吕，你也很不错嘛。

　　Lao Lu, you also look pretty good.

　　这身儿挺潇洒的。

　　You look very handsome

　　in this costume.

　　韩佳： 居然已经有人抢了先！

　　Oh, some people have already

　　chosen the roles ahead of us!

　　王渊源：老李、老吕、铁拐李、吕洞宾？

　　Lao Li, Lao Lu, Tieguai Li,

　　Lu Dongbin?

　　不行。我要扮演吕洞宾啊。

　　Oh, no. I want to play Lu Dongbin.

　　韩佳： 不过，幸好何仙姑还没有人扮演。

　　Fortunately, the role of He Xiangu

　　has not been taken.

　　我呢就...

　　I just play ...

　　吕媛： 韩佳，看我这身儿怎么样？

　　Han Jia, what do you think of

　　my costume?

　　走啦。

　　Let's go.

　　韩佳： 八仙里面唯独的一个女的也被抢了！

　　The only female role of the Eight Immortals

　　has also been taken!

　　别呀。

　　Oh, no.

　　王渊源：看来这吕洞宾我是当不上了。

　　It seems I can't play the part of

　　Lu Dongbin.

　　要说这张果老其实也不错。

　　But the part of Zhang Guolao

　　is also good.

　　韩佳： 反正何仙姑也演不上了，

　　Since I can't play the part of

　　He Xiangu,

　　不如就演演张果老。

　　it isn't bad to play Zhang Guolao.

　　反串一把也有新意嘛。

　　It'd be interesting for me to

　　play a male role.

　　王渊源：这不行。张果老可是我先看上的。

　　No, you can't. I chose the role of

　　Zhang Guolao first.

　　韩佳： 女士优先嘛！

　　Ladies first!

　　王渊源：张果老是个男士。

　　But Zhang Guolao is a male character.

　　韩佳： 你长得也不像啊。

　　But you don't look like him.

　　与其不像，不如让我来呢。

　　In this case, you'd better

　　let me play him.

　　王军： 你们俩干吗呢？

　　What are you two doing?

　　韩佳： 啊，张果老也有人抢了？

　　What, the role of Zhang Guolao has

　　also been snatched by someone else?

　　王军： 瞧这话说的？

　　What do you mean "snatched"?

　　我演张果老最合适。

　　It's most suitable for me to

　　play Zhang Guolao.

　　合： 没错儿！没错儿！

　　Absolutely! Absolutely!

　　我们是各取所长，

　　We're simply making use of

　　our different advantages,

　　我们是八仙过海，各显神通。

　　like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea,

　　each using his or her own special power.

　　王渊源：得，正好八个！

　　Right, there are just eight of you!

　　没咱们俩什么事啊？

　　What should the two of us do?

　　韩佳： 那我们还是干好自己的本职工作吧，

　　We'd better do our own jobs well

　　来讲讲“八仙过海，各显神通。”

　　and explain what "baxian guo hai,

　　ge xian shentong."

　　王渊源：“八仙过海，各显神通”

　　"Baxian guo hai, ge xian shentong"

　　讲的是八仙过海的故事，

　　refers to the story of the Eight

　　Immortals crossing the sea,

　　指每个人发挥好自己的本领。

　　each using his or her own

　　special power.

　　韩佳： 那我们这里可是

　　Here, each of us has his or

　　her own way

　　八仙过海，各显神通。

　　of dealing with the situation.

　　Bāxiān guò hǎi gè xiǎn shéntōng

　　八仙 过 海，各 显 神通。

　　Each person has his or her own way

　　of dealing with the situation.

　　这个成语有八个字，

　　This idiom consists of

　　eight characters,

　　大家一定要听清楚了。

　　so we our audience must

　　hear it clearly.

　　我们这里可是

　　Here each of us has

　　八仙过海，各显神通。

　　his or her own way of dealing

　　with the situation.

　　赏心悦目：

　　蓬莱素有“人间仙境”之美誉

　　on earth since ancient times.

　　它依山傍海 景色秀丽

　　The city is scenically located between

　　mountains and the sea.

　　王渊源：好了，看过了赏心悦目之后呢，

　　Well, after seeing the Feast

　　for the Eyes,

　　该...

　　it's time ...

　　韩佳： 该问你一个问题了。

　　It's time for me to ask you

　　a question.

　　王渊源：怎么改问我了？

　　Why do ask me instead of

　　the audience?

　　韩佳： 明朝的时候，

　　During the Ming Dynasty,

　　蓬莱出了一位非常有名的将领。

　　there was a famous general in Penglai.

　　你知道他是谁吗？

　　Do you know who he was?

　　王渊源：这个嘛？

　　This question?

　　韩佳： 这个嘛。你还是先好好想想吧。

　　Yeah. You'd better think it over.

　　The answer will be revealed tomorrow.
