Hi, I’m Happy Yuanyuan.

韩佳：刚才我们说到的古城就是这里了。

The old town we mentioned

just now is right here.

崇武古城。

It is the ancient town of Chongwu.

王渊源：那么至于这座古城有什么特点？

What characteristics does this

ancient town have?

建在这里又有一些什么特殊意义呢？

How special is it?

咱们还是边走边看。

Well, let’s watch as we

walk along.

韩佳：走。

Yeah, let’s go.

旁白：崇武古城建于六百多年前。

Chongwu was built over 600

years ago.

它是中国古代保存下来的一座

It is a well-preserved ancient

比较完整的滨海石城。

coastal town built with stone.

韩佳：这座古城呢

This ancient town

全部都是用花岗岩垒起来的。

was built completely with

granite stone blocks.

城外有很多岛屿、礁石。

Outside the town there are

many islands and reefs.

地形非常复杂，

Due to its complex topography,

自古以来就是一个易守难攻的要塞。

it has been a town of strategic importance,

easy to hold but hard to attack.

整座古城有四道城门，

The town has four city gates,

每道城门上都筑有高墙。

each reinforced with a high wall.

其中，东、西、北三道城门上还有烽火台。

The east, west and north gates each

have a beacon tower on top.

外面有壕沟。

The city wall is surrounded

by a moat.

城墙上有一千三百多个防御的箭窗。

On top of the city wall, there are

over 1300 bowmen crenels.

王渊源：哦，有了这样的布局，

Oh, with this kind of layout,

就能抵抗敌人的进攻了。

could the city wall resist

enemy attack?

韩佳：“抵抗”就是指抵挡、抗拒，

“Dikang” means to resist,

用行动来制止或者是反抗对方的攻击。

or stand up to.

王渊源：“抵抗”就是指抵挡、抗拒，

So “dikang” means to resist,

The solid stone city wall and

antique structures

记录着崇武古城

六百多年的风风雨雨。

600-year history.

我很喜欢这些充满历史感的古城墙

I like the time-honored city wall

和狭窄弯曲的街巷。

and winding alleys here.

不过，崇武最有魅力的

But Chongwu is most appealing

还要数居住在这里的惠安女了。

for its Huian women living here.

王渊源：她们应该就是惠安女了吧。

They should be Huian women.

我去跟她们打个招呼。

Let me say hello to them.

你好！你们是惠安女吧？

Hello! Are you ladies of Huian?

韩佳：是啊。

Yes.

王渊源：韩佳，你怎么也变成惠安女了？

Hey, Han Jia, how come you’ve

turned into a Huian girl?

韩佳：这叫入乡随俗嘛。

In Rome, do as the Romans do.

你看，这些都是我认识的新朋友。

Look, all of them are my

new friends.

他是我的搭档，渊源。

He is my co-host, Yuanyuan.

惠安女：你好。

Hi.

王渊源：你们好。

Hi.

你们穿的兄弟民族服装真好看啊！

The ethnic costumes you are

wearing are so beautiful!

韩佳：渊源，你搞错了。

Yuanyuan, you’re wrong.

这惠安女是地道的汉族。

All Huian women are genuine

Han people.

所以这些衣服不是兄弟民族服装。

So what they are wearing

are not ethnic costumes.

王渊源：你们都是汉族啊！

Oh, you’re all of the Han ethnicity!

那汉族为什么要穿这样的衣服呢？

But why do you wear this kind

of clothes as Han people?

韩佳：这就跟她们

This has something to do

长期生活在海边有关系了。

with the longtime coast way

of life.

惠安女的这身服饰

Huian women’s daily wear

和海洋文化息息相关。

is closely linked with the oceanic

culture here.

王渊源：息息相关？

“Xi xi xiang guan”?

韩佳：这“息息相关”中的“息息”

The “xi xi” in “xi xi xiang guan”

就是指一呼一吸。

refers to inhalation and exhalation.

那这个成语就是指

This idiom literally means

像一呼一吸这样联系紧密。

as closely linked as inhalation

and exhalation.

比喻关系非常密切。

It is used as a metaphor for

being closely linked.

王渊源：“息息相关”比喻关系非常密切。

So “xi xi xiang guan” means

to be closely linked.

惠安女：你看，这斗笠是金黄色的，

Look, the golden bamboo hat

就代表金黄色的沙滩。

represents the golden beach.

韩佳：没错儿。你看，我的头巾是白色的，

Exactly. Look, my white scarf

那就代表了天上的白云。

represents the white clouds

in the sky.

还有她们穿的衣服是蓝色的，

And their blue blouses

就代表了大海和天空。

惠安女：我的裤子是黑色的，

And my black pants

就代表黑色的礁石。

represent the black reefs.

王渊源：嗬，原来你们的服饰有这么多讲究哪！

Oh, there are so many intricacies

in your daily wear!

韩佳：除了这些，

Apart from these,

惠安女的服饰还有几处别的特点。

the costume and ornaments of Huian

women have other characteristics.

王渊源：我看出来了。

I can tell.

你指的是这能遮脸的头巾，

You mean their face-hiding scarf,

还有短短的上衣

their short blouse

和宽宽的裤筒吧？

and their broad, loose

pants, right?

韩佳：这头巾夏天可以用来遮阳防晒；

Their scarf can hide their face

from sunshine in summer,

春秋天的时候，

王渊源：头巾的功能可真多呀！

The scarf has so many functions!

韩佳：是啊。你看我们戴上头巾之后，

Right. Look, after we wear

the scarf,

都变成了修长的瓜子脸。

our face becomes oval in shape.

惠安女：我们的衣服呢

The blouse we wear

就是在劳作的时候

can prevent from getting wet

and soiled

避免被海水粘湿弄脏了。

when we are at work.

韩佳：还有这裤子，

Our broad and loose pants

在出海的时候

can dry very quickly

要是不小心被海水打湿了，

in the sea wind

这种宽大的设计呢

if they get wet inadvertently

就能让海风把裤腿很快就吹干了。

from the seawater.

王渊源：有意思。

That’s interesting.

韩佳：这些都是你看得到的。

All these are visible things.

还有一样东西是你看不到的。

There is still one thing which

you haven’t seen.

王渊源：在哪儿啊？

Where is it?

韩佳：就在这里。

It’s right here.

王渊源：还有这么多东西在里头呢。

There are so many things

under it.

韩佳：对啊。其实这斗笠

就像是惠安女的手提包。

functions as Huian women’s handbag.

她们会把随身携带的物品

They normally place many

of their belongings

都放在这个斗笠里面。

under their bamboo hat.

现如今这打鱼仍然是

Today fishing remains

one of the main sources of

income in Huian.

当男人们出海打完鱼回来之后，

When the men are fishing out

on the sea,

勤劳的惠安女

the hardworking Huian women

就会在海边修补渔网，

分拣打回来的海鱼。

or sort out the fish at

the seaside.

王渊源：韩佳，我回来了。

Han Jia, I’m back.

韩佳：你这是刚打完鱼回来？

Are you back from a fishing trip?

王渊源：我本来是想去。

Originally I did want to go.

但是我没敢上船。

But I didn’t dare to

get aboard.

所以只能在附近抓鱼。

So I had to try to catch fish by

hand in the nearby sea area.

韩佳：那你抓到鱼了吗？

Did you catch any fish?

王渊源：没有。所以我就过来想看

No. That’s why I came here

能不能帮你干点什么。

to see if I can be of any

help for you.

韩佳：你看，我们都在补渔网呢。

Look, we’re all mending

fishing nets.

要不然你也来搭把手？

Can you help out?

王渊源：搭把手？

“Da ba shou”?

韩佳：“搭把手”就是指替别人出力、

“Da ba shou” means to help out,

帮忙的意思。

or assist.

王渊源：“搭把手”就是指替别人出力、

So “da ba shou” means to help out,

帮忙的意思。

We need some assistance.

Could you help out?

没问题。我来搭把手吧。

No problem. Let me give

you a hand.

可是你们得教教我呀。

But you have to teach

me how to do it.

韩佳：没问题。

No problem.

赏心悦目：
