旁白：    在广东富饶的土地上，

       On the fertile land of Guangdong,

       有一座城市，

       there is a city,

       您只要听过它的名字，

       whose name you’ll never forget

       从此便不会忘记。

       once you hear it.

       因为它和一位伟人同名。

       That’s because it was named

       after a great man.

       这就是中山市。

       That is Zhongshan City.

韩佳：    快乐学汉语，

       Learning Chinese the fun way …

王渊源：万里海疆行！

       On the Happy Journey along

       the Coastline!

韩佳：    观众朋友们，大家好！

       Hello everyone!

       快乐的韩佳，

       Merry Han Jia …

王渊源：还有渊源，

       and Happy Yuanyuan …

韩佳：    在美丽的中山向您问好。

       are saying hello to you in

       the beautiful city of Zhongshan.

王渊源：韩佳，

       Han Jia,

       我听说孙中山先生的故乡就在这里。

       I heard Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s hometown

       is right here.

       所以后来人们为了纪念他，

       So in order to commemorate him,

       才把这儿的名字改成了中山。

       the name of the place was

       changed to Zhongshan.

韩佳：    嗯，说得没错儿。

       Yeah, absolutely correct.

       人们为了纪念他，

       To commemorate him,

       不只是把地名改成了中山，

       people here not only renamed

       the place as Zhongshan,

       而且还把人们对孙中山先生的怀念

       but they also infused their

       cherished memory of him

       融入到了城市建设中去。

       into the city’s construction.

旁白：    在这座城市里，

       In this city,

       不管是街道、学校、公园还是纪念堂，

       everything-street, school, park,

       memorial hall

       一切都好像全都被烙上了孙中山的印记。

       seems to bear the imprint of

       Sun Yat-sen.

       这也让我更想知道，

       That’s also what makes me all

       the more eager to find out

       当年孙中山先生居住 生活过的地方

       what the place where Sun Yat-sen

       once lived

       又会是什么样子呢。

       is like.

韩佳：    渊源，这里呢就是孙中山先生的出生地，

       Yuanyuan, here is Mr. Sun

       Yat-sen’s birthplace,

       翠亨村。

       Cuiheng Village.

       而我们身后的这幢呢

       And behind us

       就是他的故居了。

       is his former residence.

王渊源：没想到，他的故居

       To my surprise, his former residence

       看起来完全像是一座西式建筑。

       looks completely Western

       in style.

       这应该跟他受到西方文化的

       This should have been related

       to Western culture’s

       叫什么来着？

       what’s the word I’m looking for?

       熏…熏…

       “Xun, xun …”

韩佳：    熏陶？

       “Xuntao”?

王渊源：对对对，我的说就是“熏陶”。

       Yes, yes, I just wanted to

       say “xuntao”.

韩佳：    “熏陶”呢是一个动词。

       “Xuntao” is a verb.

       就是指由于长期接触的人

       It refers to the gradual influence

       of someone

       或者是事物对人们的生活习惯、

       or something on people

       思想行为等逐渐产生某种影响。

       over a long period of time.

王渊源：“熏陶”就是指由于长期接触产生的影响。

       So “xuntao” refers to influence through

       a period of time.

 

 

    Tā  shòu  dào  le  xīfāng  wénhuà  de  xūntāo

        他   受    到  了   西方    文化   的   熏陶。

       He was influenced by Western culture.

 

韩佳：    也正是因为这个原因，

       Just because of this,

       所以呢孙中山先生才会把这幢房子

       Mr. Sun Yat-sen had this

       house designed

设计成了中西合璧的样式。

       in a combination of Chinese

       and Western styles.

       虽然从外观看啊

       Though judging by its exterior,

       是一幢典型的西式建筑，

       it is a typical Western-style home,

       但里面呢

       its interior

       却是传统的岭南民居风格。

       is in the traditional Lingnan style.

王渊源：哇，还真像你说的，

       Wow, just as you said,

       里面又是古色古香的了。

       its interior has an antique flavor.

韩佳：    是啊。这就是正厅。

       Yes. This is the main hall.

       1894年的时候呢，

       It was here that in 1894

       孙中山先生就是在这里提出了

       Mr. Sun Yat-sen put forward his

       national salvation proposal

       “人能尽其才，

       that people should be allowed to

       bring their talents into full play,

       地能尽其利，

       land should be used to

       the fullest extent,

       物能尽其用，货能畅其流”的救国主张。

       resources should be tapped and goods

       should be allowed to flow freely.

王渊源：这句话是什么意思呢？

       What does this sentence mean?

韩佳：    这句话的意思呢

       This sentence means that

       就是要让每一个人

       everyone should be allowed

       都充分施展自己的才华，

       to bring their talents into

       full play,

       要利用好每一寸土地，

       every inch of land should be

       used properly,

       要充分发挥每一件物品的作用，

       everything should be used to

       the fullest extent

       要让货物流通的渠道呢保持畅通。

       and goods should be allowed

       to flow freely.

       他的这一主张啊，

       This proposal of his

       对于推动当时社会的发展呢

       was of great positive significance

       有着非常积极的意义。

       for social development

       at the time.

王渊源：韩佳刚才说的“积极”

       The word Han Jia said “jiji”

       就是指正面的、肯定的。

       means positive.

韩佳：    “积极”呢是一个形容词，

       “Jiji” is an adjective,

       就是指正面的、肯定的，

       meaning positive,

       有利于事物发展的。

       helping things improve.

       虽然孙中山先生

       Though Mr. Sun Yat-sen

       在这里居住的时间啊并不是很长，

       did not live here very long,

       但是呢他的很多重要思想和救国理论呢

       his many important ideas and his

       national salvation theory

       都是在这一时期产生的。

       were all formulated during

       this period.

       那边还有他的卧室和书房。

       His bedroom and study are

       over there.

       我们一起去看看。

       Let’s move over to have

       a look.

王渊源：好。

       Okay.

旁白：    这座楼房其实并不大，

       This house isn’t very big,

       但我们却看了很久。

       but we looked around there

       for a long time.

       看着那些墙上悬挂的照片，

       Seeing those photos on

       the walls

       还有一件件已经非常陈旧的家具，

       and the various pieces of

       old furniture

       我们仿佛也看到了

       made us feel as if we saw

       孙中山先生成长的轨迹。

       Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s growth path.

王渊源：真奇怪。

       It’s so strange.

       这些屋子里怎么都没有人呢。

       Why there isn’t anyone living

       in these rooms.

韩佳：    这里可不是村民们平时居住的房子哦。

       They are not villagers’ homes.

       而是一个展示区。

       This is merely a display area.

王渊源：展示区？展示什么呢？

       A display area? What’s on

       display here?

韩佳：    展示孙中山先生从小的生长环境啊。

       It displays Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s living

       environment during his childhood.

       他呢就是在翠亨村长大的。

       He grew up in Cuiheng Village.

       刚才我们看到的那幢小楼啊

       The small building we just saw

       是在1892年的时候修建的。

       was built in 1892.

       至于他童年时居住的房子呢，

       The house where he lived

       in his childhood

       则没能保留下来。

       no longer exists.

       人们为了弥补这一遗憾啊，

       To make up for this imperfection,

       就在这里呢

       a part of Cuiheng Village

       was rebuilt

       仿建了清末时期翠亨村民居的一角。

       in imitation of the late Qing style.

王渊源：哦，原来是这样的。

       Oh, I see.

       我觉得这种展示区

       I think this display area

       比只有图片的那种展示要生活多了。

       is a lot more vivid than

       the photographs alone.

韩佳：    生活多了？

       “Sheng huo duo le”?

       我们平时可不这么说哦。

       We don’t say this way.

       “生活”这个词语啊

       The word “shenghuo”

       我们可以当动词用，

       can be used both as a verb

       也可以当名词用。

       and a noun.

       但是，就是不能当形容词来用。

       But here an adjective shouldn’t

       be used.

       在这里呢，我们可以用形容词“生动”。

       We may use the adjective

       “shengdong”.

       “生动”啊就是指

       “Shengdong” means

       具有活力的、能感动人的。

       vivid or lively.

王渊源：哦，我明白了。

       Oh, I see.

       “生活”不能当形容词来用。

       So “shenghuo” can’t be used

       as an adjective.

       “生动”是形容词，

       “Shengdong” is an adjective

       指具有活力的、能感动人的。

       that means lively or vivid.

韩佳：    比如说，生动的语言、生动活泼等等。

       For example, vivid language,

       vivid and lively.

 

   Zhè  yàng  de  zhǎnshì  fēicháng  shēngdòng

       这    样   的    展示     非常     生动。

       This type of display is quite vivid.

 

       嗯。这里的每一间屋子都展示了

       Yes. Every room here displays

       当时不同人家的家具、摆设和用品。

       the furnishings and appliances of

       different families at the time.

       那前面那间平房呢，

       The bungalow right there

       就模拟了孙中山先生童年时期的住处。

       is an imitation of the house where

       Sun Yat-sen lived in his childhood.

王渊源：这看起来像一户很普通的农民家庭啊。

       It looks like a very ordinary

       peasant home.

韩佳：    是啊。

       Yes.

       孙中山先生小时候的家境呢

       Mr. Sun Yat-sen was

       是非常贫寒的。

       from a very poor family.

       不过这样的家境呢，

       But such circumstances

       也培养出了他坚韧的品格。

       helped him foster his strong-

       willed character.

       对了，这里还有一个孙中山纪念馆呢。

       Oh yeah, there is also the Sun

       Yat-sen Memorial Hall here.

       要想了解他辉煌的一生，

       If you want to learn about

       his glorious lifetime,

       不妨到那儿再去看一看。

       we’d better go there for

       a look.

王渊源：那我们还等什么呢？

       What are we waiting for?

       现在就去吧。

       Let’s go now.

       观众朋友，您先看看赏心悦目。

       Audience friends, please watch

       the Feast for the Eyes first.

       一会儿呢，我们就在纪念馆见。

       In a moment, we’ll see you

       again at the Memorial Hall.

 

 

赏心悦目：

 

       名城中山是一代伟人孙中山的故里

       The famous city Zhongshan is

       the hometown of Sun Yat-sen.

       也是中国惟一以伟人名字命名的城市

       It is the only Chinese city named

       after a great man.

       踏上这片中山先生曾经学习生活过的土地

       Embarking on the land where Mr. Sun Yat-sen

       once lived and received education

       我们仿佛回到往日的时光

       made us feel as if we returned to

       the past.

       重温历史 倾听伟人的足音

       Here we reviewed history and listened

       to the voice of this great man

       永不改变“天下为公”的理想

       and fully understood his belief that

       the world belongs to the people.

       今人已把对先生的怀念

       The city has infused the cherished

       memory of him

       融入到了城市建设之中

       into its urban development.

      

韩佳：    观众朋友们，

       Audience friends,

       这里呢就是孙中山纪念馆。

       this is the Sun Yat-sen

       Memorial Hall.

       馆内啊介绍了孙中山先生

       The Memorial Hall tells

       of Sun Yat-sen’s

       各个时期的革命史迹。

       revolutionary deeds in different

       historical periods.

王渊源：不仅如此呢，

       Besides,

       我们还在这里看到了珍贵的历史影片，

       we also saw valuable historic films

       听到了孙中山先生的讲话录音。

       and listened to recordings of

       Mr. Sun’s speeches.

       收获特别的多。

       It was a very rewarding visit.

韩佳：    是啊。

       Yes.

       通过寻访孙中山先生的故乡，

       The visit to Sun Yat-sen’s hometown

       我们对中山这座城市的了解呢

       deepened our understanding

       也更加深刻了。

       of Zhongshan City.

       只可惜今天节目结束的时间快要到了。

       It’s a pity our program for today

       has come to an end.

       要不然啊，

       Otherwise,

       还可以了解得更加详细点儿。

       more details.
