大家好,我是快乐的韩佳。
Hello! I'm Merry Han Jia.
王渊源:大家好。
Hello there!
我是快乐的王渊源。
I'm Happy Wang Yuanyuan.
韩佳,你这是第一次来大连吗?
Han Jia, is this your first time
here in Dalian?
韩佳: 当然不是了。来过几次。
Of course not. I've been here
several times.
大连虽然没有悠久的历史,
Although Dalian doesn't have
a very long history,
但是它的发展是多元化的。
its development is quite multifaceted.
我最喜欢的
What I like most here
就是这里山与海的浪漫结合。
is the romantic combination
of mountains and seas.
一会儿你就会感受到了。
You'll feel this, too, in a moment.
说大连是个美丽而又浪漫的城市,
People say Dalian is a beautiful
and romantic city
是因为它有着说不完的故事,
because its has countless stories
看不够的美景。
and fascinating scenery.
王渊源:刚才我们一路走过来,
When we came on the way here,
我看到大连好像有很多广场啊。
I found that Dalian seems to have
many squares.
真是极美呀!
Very beautiful indeed!
韩佳: 渊源,应该说美极了。
Yuanyuan, you should say "mei ji le".
我们经常会用一个形容词
We often use an adjective
followed by "ji le"
加上“极了”来表示程度深。
to express the meaning of "so"
or "extremely".
王渊源:一个形容词加上“极了”
An adjective followed by "ji le"
in Chinese
表示程度之深。
is similar in meaning to "so" or "extremely"
followed by an adjective in English.
韩佳: 这样吧,
Okay,
我们举个例子来说。
let's explain with an example.
Zhè li de guǎngchǎng duō jí le
这 里 的 广场 多 极 了。
There are so many squares here.
其实,光在大连市区内
In fact, in the urban area of
Dalian alone,
就有上百个广场。
there are nearly 100 squares.
而且每个广场的风格都不一样。
And each has a different style.
王渊源:韩佳,你还没告诉我
Han Jia, you still haven't told me
这个广场叫什么名字。
the name of this square yet.
韩佳: 这是星海湾广场,
This is Xinghaiwan Square,
据说是目前亚洲最大的城市广场。
said to be the largest city
square in Asia.
哎,渊源你看,
Eh, Yuanyuan, look,
前面就是大连的百年纪念城雕。
those ahead are sculptures commemorating
the city's centennial.
王渊源:一般的雕塑不都是立着的嘛。
Sculptures are normally in an
upright position.
这个怎么这样啊?
But why is this one different?
韩佳: 过去看看吧。
Let's go over to have a look.
王渊源:好多脚印啊!
There are so many footprints!
有上千双吧。
Almost 1,000 pairs of them.
韩佳: 没错儿。
Exactly.
这里还真有一千双脚印。
There are indeed 1,000 pairs
of footprints.
那么这里的“有”就是表示
In this case, "you" means
达到一定的数量。
reaching a certain amount.
王渊源:这里“有”表示达到一定的数量。
In this case, "you" expresses
reaching a certain amount.
韩佳: 那我们举个例子来说吧。
Let me give you an example.
Zhè zuò chéngdiāo yǒu bāshi mǐ cháng
这 座 城雕 有 八十 米 长。
This sculpture is 80 meters long.
渊源,这城雕上的脚印
Yuanyuan, these footprint sculptures
可不是人们随意刻上去的。
were not sculpted randomly.
它们有自己的主人。
They all come from real persons.
王渊源:难道是人踩上去的吗?
Are they real persons' footprints?
韩佳: 对呀。
Yes, they are.
留下脚印的有百岁老人、
The people leaving their footprints
here include centenarians,
初生婴儿,
newborn babies
还有各民族各行各业的代表。
and representatives of various ethnic
groups from all walks of life.
他们生动地记载了
They vividly record
大连经历过的百年沧桑。
Dalian's 100-year history.
王渊源:原来是这样的呀。
Oh, I see.
哎,我看那边平台好像是一本翻开的书啊。
Eh, the platform over there seems
to be an open book.
韩佳: 那也是百年城雕的
That's also part of the city's
一部分啊。
centennial sculptures.
它预示着大连经过了
It symbolizes that
百年历程之后,
after its 100-year life journey,
又翻开了崭新的一页。
the city has turned to a new chapter.
旁白: 当我们的车队离开了星海广场,
After our caravan left Xinghai Square,
一条沿海公路出现在我们的面前。
a coastal highway appeared
before our eyes.
韩佳告诉我,这是滨海路,
Han Jia told me it was Binhai Road,
又叫情人路。
also called Lovers Road.
没想到我们果真在沿途看到了几对
And sure enough, we unexpectedly
found several couples of young people
拍摄婚纱照的情侣。
having their wedding photos
taken there.
但韩佳说这个还不算什么。
But Han Jia said that was
no big deal.
如果想要切身体会大连的浪漫,
She said if you want to experience
Dalian's romance,
一定要坐一次有轨电车。
you have to take a tram.
在我的要求下,
At my request,
我们的车队特意
our team ha made special arrangements
让我这个外国小伙子体验了一回。
and allowed me such an experience.
王渊源:据我所知,
To my knowledge,
中国只有少数几个城市还保留着
there are only a few cities in China
这种古老的交通工具。
wher this kind of old-fashioned
transport is still in use.
今天非常地幸运
I'm lucky today
终于有机会可以亲身体验一下。
that I finally have a chance to
experience it.
我在体验我的,
While I'm experiencing the tram here,
韩佳也在体验她自己感兴趣的生活,
Han Jia is also having an experience
of what she is interested in-
那就是体验女骑警的巡逻工作。
patrolling with mounted women police.
那可是大连特有的一景啊。
That's a special sight in Dalian.
“特有”是指特别具有、独有的意思。
"Te you" refers to a unique aspect
of something.
“特别”是指特别具有、独有的意思。

of something.
韩佳: 今天,我也可以穿上漂亮的警服

来体验一下女骑警的巡逻工作了。

of women mounted police.
趁这个机会啊,我得多了解了解她们。

您好,咱们这个女骑警队伍

骑警: 我们这个女骑警大队成立在1994年。

We have 58 police officers.
韩佳: 那咱们平时除了
In addition to normal patrols
骑马巡逻之外,
on horseback,
还要干别的什么吗?
what else do you do?
骑警: 警队要求我们不仅要学会骑马,
We are required to learn not
just horse riding,
还要学会驾驶摩托车和警车,
but also motorcycle and police
vehicle driving skills
这样才能承担起治安以及巡逻,
so that we can better undertake
security enforcement, patrols,
以及仪仗队表演等任务。
guard of honor performances
and other duties.
韩佳: 哦,是这样。
Oh, I see.
那我看到别的城市
But I find in other cities
警察巡逻都是开车,
police carry out their patrols mostly
或者是骑摩托车。
by car or motorcycle.
那咱们这样骑马
Do you have any inconvenience
会不会有不方便的地方?
when you ride a horse?
骑警: 这骑马比开车更方便。
Riding a horse is a lot more convenient
than driving a vehicle.
因为我们可以穿越窄小的
We can pass through narrow
复杂的地形。
and complicated terrains.
这样更方便巡逻。
It's a lot more convenient.
韩佳: 那好吧,观众朋友们,
Okay, audience friends,
我们现在就要出发了。

王渊源:这个有轨电车可太好玩了!
The tram was so much fun!
我还有点儿没坐够呢。
I wish I had more time for that.
韩佳的巡逻工作时间
