旁白： 福州是福建省的省会。
Fuzhou is the capital of
Fujian Province.
这里不仅有着秀美的风光
Apart from its beautiful scenery
和悠久的人文历史，
and ancient history and culture,
还有一个好听的名字——榕城。
it also has a beautiful nickname,
Rongcheng.
这个名字由来很简单，
The reason for this nickname
is simply
福州几乎到处都是榕树。
because there are banyan trees
everywhere in Fuzhou.
您瞧，就连马路中间都有榕树。
Look, there are banyans even
in the middle of a road.
“榕城”这个名字
It truly deserves
确实是名副其实啊！
to be called the City
of Banyans!
韩佳： 快乐学汉语！
Learn Chinese the fun way!
王渊源：万里海疆行！
And enjoy a happy journey
across China!
韩佳： 大家好，我是快乐的韩佳。
Hello, I’m Merry Han Jia.
王渊源：我是快乐的渊源。
And I’m Happy Yuanyuan.
韩佳，这大树长在公路上
Han Jia, it’s really rare
还真是少见啊。
to see trees growing on highways.
韩佳： 对啊。
Yes indeed.
因为要保护那些古榕树，
For preservation purposes,
所以不能随便移动它们。
road builders did not move
them to other places.
那些长在公路上的榕树，
Banyan trees on highways
已经成为福州市的一道景观了。
have become a sight in Fuzhou.
王渊源：真是没想到，
I never imagined
我们一到福州
I would see such an interesting sight
就发现这么有意思的事情。
soon after we arrived in Fuzhou.
不过，韩佳，
But Han Jia,
这福州怎么会有这么多榕树呢？
why are there so many banyan
trees in Fuzhou?
韩佳： 主要是有两个原因。
There are two reasons.
第一，是因为两千多年前，
First, over 2,000 years ago,
福州就有人在种植榕树了。
banyan trees were already
planted in Fuzhou.
第二是因为福建省的地理环境，
Second, Fujian’s geographical
environment
还有气侯条件，
and climatic conditions
都非常适合榕树生长。
are suitable for the growth of
banyan trees.
所以才会有这么多榕树啊。
That’s why there are so many
banyan trees here.
王渊源：那你说整个福州得有多少棵榕树呢？
How many banyan trees does
Fuzhou have?
韩佳： 大概有几十万棵吧。
Approximately several hundred thousand.
福州的榕树不仅数量多，
Fuzhou’s banyan trees are
not only plentiful,
而且有很多榕树的树龄也很大。
but many of them are quite old.
百年以上的榕树
Banyan trees more than
100 years old
在福州随处可见。
can be seen everywhere.
对了，在这森林公园里，
Oh yeah, in the forest park,
还有一棵榕树王呢。
there’s even one called the King
of the Banyan Trees.
非常值得一看哦。
It’s certainly worth a look.
王渊源：“值得”就是有价值、有意义。
”Zhide” means worth, as
in worth it.
韩佳： 渊源说得没错儿。
Yuanyuan is right.
“值得”就是指
”Zhide” means
这样去做会有好的结果，
doing something will have
a good result,
有价值、有意义。
or something is worth doing.
Zhèli de róngshù wáng hěn zhídé yí kàn
这里 的 榕树 王 很 值得 一 看。
The King of the Banyan Trees here
is worth a look.
渊源，就是这棵大榕树了，
Yuanyuan, it is right this
banyan tree,
它粗十米，高二十米。
10 meters thick and 20
meters tall.
不过最惊人的呀，
But what’s most striking
还是它树冠的覆盖面积，
is the coverage of its crown,
达到了一千多平方米呢。
reaching as much as 1,000
square meters.
王渊源：一千多平方米啊？
1,000 square meters?
都能让几百人
It would allow hundreds
of people
同时在它的树荫下休息了。
to rest in the shade.
能长成现在这个样子，
A tree as big as this
树龄也应该不小了吧。
must be very old.
韩佳： 对啊。
Yes.
这棵树
This tree
是北宋时期的太守张伯玉种下的。
was planted by Prefecture Chief Zhang
Boyu during the Northern Song Dynasty.
那算起来，
Based on my calculation,
它的树龄差不多也有一千年了吧。
this treeshould be about
1,000 years old.
王渊源：真是个老寿星哪！
It has lived so long!
韩佳： 嗯。
Yes.
旁白： 能够让数十万棵榕树
The fact that hundreds of
thousands of banyan
生长得这么繁荣茂盛，
trees are able to grow so
luxuriantly here
其实，也从另一个方面
also indicates
说明了福州优越的自然环境。
Fuzhou’s advantageous natural
environment.
优越的自然环境，
The advantageous natural environment
再加上温暖湿润的气侯，
plus a warm and moist climate
使福州成为了一个
makes Fuzhou
非常适宜居住的城市。
very suitable for human habitation.
两千多年来，
Over the past 2,000 years,
居住在这座城市的人们，
people living in this city
创造出了独特的文化。
have developed a unique culture.
而我们接下来要去的三坊七巷，
And the ten alleys that we’re
going to visit
就是福州历史文化的精华所在。
are the quintessence of Fuzhou’s
history and culture.
王渊源：三坊七巷？
”San fang qi xiang”?
具体指的是什么呢？
What does it refer to?
韩佳： 三坊七巷指的就是这一带啊，
”San fang qi xiang” is the
general term
从北到南依次排列的
for ten east-west alleys
十条坊巷的总称。
that run in parallel in this area.
王渊源：十条坊巷？
Ten alleys?
韩佳： 这“坊”和“巷”就是指那些
Both “fang” and “xiang” here
窄小弯曲的街道。
refers to a narrow and
winding street.
王渊源：“坊”和“巷”就是指那些
So “fang” and “xiang” here
both mean
窄小弯曲的街道。
alley or a lane.
韩佳： 那我们现在所在的就是塔巷。
The place where we are is
called Taxiang Alley.
王渊源：韩佳，刚才听你说，
Han Jia, you just said
这里是福州历史文化的精华所在地。
this area is the quintessence of
Fuzhou’s history and culture.
那这是为什么呢？
Why is it?
韩佳： 有三个原因。
There are three reasons.
第一是因为三坊七巷的历史
First, it’s because the ten
alleys here
非常悠久。
all have a very long history.
早在一千七百多年前，
They were recorded in documentation
就有关于对它的记载了。
as early as 1700 years ago.
王渊源：那第二个原因呢？
And the second reason?
韩佳： 第二个原因
The second reason
是因为在这里，曾经出现过一百多位
is because more than 100
Chinese influential
在中国历史上非常有影响力的人物。
historical figures have lived here.
那这第三个原因嘛…
And the third reason …
王渊源：你怎么不说了呀？
Why did you stop?
韩佳： 我觉得这第三个原因
I think you’d better find out
还是你自己亲自去看一看比较好。
the third reason yourself.
王渊源：这小石桥够精致的呀！
This small stone bridge is
so elegant!
韩佳，咱们来这儿，
Han jia, we didn’t come here
不会光为了看一座小石桥吧？
only to see this small stone
bridge, did we?
韩佳： 当然不会了。
Of course not.
要知道这三坊七巷的很多房屋里
You know what, many of the
houses here
都有精致的门框、窗棂，
have exquisitely carved door frames
精雕细刻的，非常有特点。
and window latticework.
王渊源：我明白了。
Oh, I see.
那第三个原因
The third reason
一定和这些建筑有关吧。
must be related to the
architecture here.
韩佳： 没错儿。
Exactly.
那我们现在看到的这些建筑啊，
The majority of the architecture
we see here
大多数都是明清时期保留下来的。
is from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
王渊源：“大多数”就是指
”Daduoshu” means
超过半数很多的数量。
the majority or the great majority.
韩佳： 没错儿。
Right.
“大多数”就是指
”Daduoshu” means
超过半数很多的数量。
the majority or the great majority.
后面常常和“都”连用。
It is often followed by “dou”.
我们可以说，大多数人都很喜欢；
So we can say, most people
like it;
大多数意见都是正确的。
the majority of the opinion
is correct.
Zhèli dà duō shu jiànzhu dōu shi míng qīng shíhou liú xialai de
这里 大 多 数 建筑 都 是 明 清 时候 留 下来 的。
The majority of the architecture here
is from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
正因为这样，
Just because of this,
所以这三坊七巷呢
the ten alleys here
还有着“明清古建筑博物馆”的称号。
are billed as a museum of Ming
and Qing architecture.
王渊源：那你得给我介绍介绍
But you’d better explain
to me
这儿有特色的建筑。
some special structures here.
