今天我们要去的是

The place we're going to

visit today

位于澄海区的陈慈黉故居。

is the former residence of Chen

Cihong in Chenghai District.

听说这陈慈黉故居,

I heard that the Chen Cihong Residence

可是潮汕地区大型民居宅院中

is the most representative of

large residential houses

最有代表性的一座。

in the Chaozhou and Shantou area.

王渊源:快乐学汉语,

Let's learn Chinese the fun way!

韩佳: 万里海疆行!

And enjoy a happy journey

across China!

观众朋友们,

Audience friends,

我跟渊源现在是在

Yuanyuan and I are saying

hello to you

陈慈黉故居的平台上向您问好。

here on a terrace of the former

residence of Chen Cihong.

王渊源:站在高处,

Only when you stand at

a higher place,

才能感受到它的规模真的很大。

can you understand the large

scale of this residence.

韩佳: 是啊。

Yes.

这座故居呢包括郎中第、

This residence complex consists

of four parts, Langzhongdi,

寿康里、善居室,

Shoukangli, Shanjushi

以及三庐书斋四座建筑群。

and Sanlu.

每座宅院都是由四座建筑

There are four houses in

each courtyard

环抱一座祠堂。

surrounding an ancestral temple

in the center.

这也正好是潮汕民间的传统建筑,

This is the typical four-horse-coach style

“四马拖车”的格局了。

in the Chaozhou and Shantou area.

王渊源:那它到底有多大呀?

How large is this residence?

韩佳: 它占地约两万平方米,

It occupies an area of 20,000

square meters

有大小厅房五百零六间呢。

and has 506 rooms, big

and small.

王渊源:这么多呀!

It has so many rooms!

看来我还是低估了它的规模。

It seems that I underestimated

its scale.

韩佳: “低估”是个动词,表示过低估计。

"Digu" is a verb, which means

to underestimate or underrate.

王渊源:“低估”表示过低估计。

So "digu" means to underestimate

or underrate.

韩佳: 就好像渊源刚才说的,

Just as Yuanyuan said,

Kàn lái wǒ dīgū le tā de guīmó

看 来 我 低估 了 它 的 规模。

It seems that I underestimated its scale.

旁白: 陈慈黉家族早期经营海外运输。

At first, the Chen family was engaged

in international shipping.

后来,在泰国办实业。

Later, they set up an industrial

enterprise in Thailand.

因为陈家是华侨,

As the Chen family was

overseas Chinese,

陈氏故居也带有着

the Chen residence is characterized

明显的中西合璧的特色。

by a combination of Chinese

and Western styles.

渊源提议,我们不妨一边参观,

Yuanyuan suggested that while

we tour the residence,

一边找找哪里是中国传统的建筑特色,

we should also try to find out instances

of the Chinese style

而哪里又有着西洋风格的影子。

and those of the Western style.

王渊源:我们现在来到了

Now we've entered

最大的一座院落——善居室。

the biggest courtyard complex,

Shanjushi.

韩佳: 渊源,这回咱俩换一换吧。

Yuanyuan, let's exchange our roles.

我找西洋风格的东西,

I'm to find Western-style things

你找具有中国传统特色的地方。

and you're to find Chinese-style things.

王渊源:没问题。

No problem.

你看,抬头就有一个。

Look, there is just one overhead.

韩佳: 抬头?

Overhead?

哦,你是说这喜鹊的木雕?

Oh, you mean the wood carving

of magpie?

王渊源:对呀。

Yes.

这可是中国传统的“喜上眉梢”的图案。

This is the typical "xi shang

meishao" pattern.

没说错吧?

Am I right?

韩佳: 说得没错儿。

You're absolutely right.

“喜上眉梢”是个成语。

"Xi shang meishao" is an idiom.

“眉梢”就是指眉间。

"Meishao" refers to the tip

of the brow.

“喜上眉梢”就是用来形容高兴的神情

"Xi shang meishao" means to

be radiant

从眉间、眼睛上表现出来。

with joy.

王渊源:“喜上眉梢”是个成语,

So "xi shang meishao" is

an idiom

用来形容高兴的神情

that means to be radiant

从眉间、眼睛上表现出来。

with joy.

韩佳: 好好好,算你占先。

Okay, you won first.

不过,你只顾到了上面,

But you gave all your attention

to things above

却没有看到脚下吧。

and overlooked things on the ground.

王渊源:彩色的瓷砖?

Colored ceramic tiles?

都是当时铺的呀?

Were they laid at the time?

韩佳: 那当然了。

Of course.

这些瓷砖都是主人从国外买进来的。

The owner of the residence bought

all these tiles from abroad.

王渊源:行,行,平手啊。

Okay, it's a draw.

那咱们接着找吧。

Let's go on finding them.

韩佳: 好。

Okay.

旁白: 这陈慈黉故居的四座宅第,

The four house complexes of

the Chen residence

在建筑格局上既紧密相连,

are closely connected with

one another

又相对独立。

while they are all relatively

independent of one another.

中间建有中国式的“硬山顶”平房,

The central sloping-roofed Chinese-

style house is surrounded

外围房屋是两层洋楼,

by two-storey Western-style buildings,

从而形成了一个个内低外高,

thus forming a castle-like

square courtyard,

类似城寨的方形大庭院。

of which the central part is lower

than the peripheral part.

王渊源:韩佳,我又找到了

Han Jia, I found another instance

具有中式风格的地方了。

of the Chinese style.

韩佳: 哦,说说看?

Oh, what's that?

王渊源:我发现,

I found

这座宅子呢它采用的都是中国架房梁

this house has the Chinese-style

beam framework

盖瓦片的传统结构。

and a tiled roof.

典型的中国造。

It is typically Chinese.

韩佳: 没错儿是没错儿。

Yes, exactly.

可阳台、栏杆还有柱子

But the balcony, the balustrade

and pillars,

这些装饰性很强的部分,

which are quite decorative,

就是采用西式风格的装修啊。

are all Western in style.

其实,这些房间除了美观之外,

In fact, apart from a beautiful facade,

还考虑到了实用性和安全性呢。

practicality and safety were also considered

when these houses were built.

王渊源:这我可没看出来。

But I didn't notice that.

韩佳: 别急嘛。跟我走。

Don't worry. Come with me.

渊源,你看这些楼梯梯面的花纹。

Look at these patterns on the steps.

它们一方面有装饰的作用,

While they are decorative,

一方面又有防滑的作用。

they can also help prevent skidding.

王渊源:还真是的。

Yes, indeed.

韩佳,

Han Jia,

你刚才说的“一方面...一方面...”

you just said "yifangmian ...

yifangmian".

是个复句吗?

Is it a complex sentence?

韩佳: 没错儿。

Exactly.

“一方面...一方面...”

"Yifangmian ... yifangmian"

是表示并列关系的关联词语。

are conjunctions in a compound-

complex sentence.

就好像我刚才说的,

Just as I said just now,

Zhèxiē huāwén yì fāngmiàn yǒu zhuāngshi de zuòyòng yì

Fāngmiàn yǒu fáng huá de zuòyòng

这些 花纹 一 方面 有 装饰 的 作用, 一

方面 有 防 滑 的 作用。

These patterns serve both decorative and

anti-skid functions.

王渊源:还挺实用的呢。

They are also very practical.

韩佳: 是啊。

Yes.

实用的地方还不止这些呢。

They are not the only

practical instances.

二楼都有阳台和走廊相连,

The balcony on the second floor

is connected with a corridor

每座楼都可以相通。

and all the buildings are connected

and open to each other.

而且在二楼,

And on the second floor,

那边还设有安全门,

there is an emergency exit,

离地面很高。

which is high above the ground.

要是发生洪水的时候,

When there was a flood,

就可以坐船直接从安全门逃走。

people were able to escape

from the exit by boat.

王渊源:这个设计还挺符合

This type of design was

in conformity

当地的气侯特点的。

with the local climatic characteristics.

韩佳: 好了,

Okay,

那马上又要到我们今天的

time now again for today's

赏心悦目时间了。

Feast for the Eyes.

让我们再到那里去好好地了解一下,

Let's go over there to find out

这陈氏故居里还有哪些特色、细节

what other characteristics and details

是我们没有注意到的呢。

which we failed to notice in

this residence.

王渊源:赶紧看看。

Let's hurry.
