韩佳：快乐学汉语，轻松又好记。
Enjoy learning Chinese and
it is carefree and easy.
大牛：大家好，这里是《快乐中国》。
Hello, everyone!
This is Happy China.
我是快乐的大牛。
I am happy Daniel.
韩佳：我是快乐的韩佳。
I am happy Han Jia.
看多了繁华的城市之后，
Being fed up with the urban prosperity,
今天我们也来享受一下宁静的生活。
let’s enjoy the tranquil life today.
大牛：没错儿，就是这里。
Right, here it is.
离岛上的宝莲禅寺。
Po Lin Monastery on the Outlaying Island.
韩佳：要说这寺庙啊，咱们也去过不少了。
When temples are mentioned,
we have been to many of them.
不过宝莲寺的旁边啊…
But, beside the Po Lin Monastery…
大牛：您稍等，答案马上揭晓。
In a moment, the answer will
be disclosed.
韩佳，你要是这么早跟观众朋友们说的话，
Han Jia, if you tell the audience
so early,
他们看见了就不惊喜了。
they will lose the pleasant surprise
when they find it.
韩佳：你以为谁不知道啊？
Do you believe they don’t know?
那么大尊佛像谁能看不见啊？
Who will ignore such a large joss?
大牛：哟，怎么这么高啊？
Why is it so high?
韩佳：比你想象的还要大吧。
It is larger than you can imagine,
isn’t it?
观众朋友们，
Dear audience,
这尊就是香港著名的天坛大佛。
this joss is the famous Big Buddha
in Hong Kong.
大牛：听说它是目前世界上最大的露天青铜坐佛呢。
It is said, in the world of today, it is the
largest open-air bronze sitting Buddha.
韩佳：这尊佛像啊是全铜制作的，
This joss is cast with bronze,
高二十六米，重二百二十吨。
26 m high, and 220 ton in weight.
大牛：我们以前看过乐山的石刻坐佛，
We have see the stone sitting Buddha
in Leshan Mountain before,
今天我要好好观赏这尊青铜大佛。
today I will thoroughly observe
this big bronze Buddha.
韩佳：三层祭坛，二百六十八级台阶。
There are a three-floor altar and 268
steps before me.
所以想要看佛像的近景啊，
If I want to observe the joss closely,
合： 要先辛苦一下了。没问题。
I must take the hardship first.
No problem.
Yào xiǎng kàn dà fuó de jìnjǐng, jiù yào xīnkǔ yíxià le.
要 想 看 大 佛 的 近景， 就 要 辛苦 一下 了。
You’ll have to do some hard work if
you want to get a close-up view of
the Big Buddha.
大牛：这尊佛像简直是太大了！
So large a joss it is!
您瞧，我还没有莲花瓣高呢。
Look, I am even shorter than
the lotus pedal.
这花瓣上怎么还有名字呢？
Why are there names in the pedal?
韩佳：这尊佛像是由很多人捐资建造起来的，
This joss was built with donations
from many people,
花瓣上的名字就是捐资者的名字了。
so their names are kept on the petal.
大牛：这么多啊！韩佳，你看，这里还有佛像呢。
So many of them! Han Jia, look
at the joss here.
也是铜铸的吗？
Is it also bronze-cast?
韩佳：是铜铸的没错。
Indeed.
不过这可不是佛像，这叫六天母献供。
But it isn’t a joss, but called 6
Goddesses presenting offerings.
大牛：什么意思？
What does it mean?
韩佳：六天母献供呢就是说这六位天神
It means 6 Goddesses
正在对神佛表示敬意呢，
are worshipping the joss,
她们有的端着水果，
some with fruit plates on hands,
有的拿着乐器，有的捧着花。
and some holding musical instruments
or flower bundles.
六位天神捧着六种贡品敬献给神佛。
6 Goddesses consecrate six kinds
of offerings to the joss.
大牛：没想到，天坛大佛的周围
I did not imagine, around the
Big Buddha,
也有这么精致的雕刻。
there are such exquisite sculptures.
Méi xiǎngdào dà fuó de zhōuwéi yě yǒu zhème jīngzhì de diōokè.
没 想到 大 佛 的 周围 也 有 这么 精致 的 雕刻。
I didn’t expect there to be such exquisite
carvings around the Big Buddha.
没想到，天坛大佛的周围
I did not imagine, around the
Big Buddha,
也有这么精致的雕刻。
there are such exquisite sculptures.
韩佳：何止呢，大佛的下面还有呢。
There are even more underneath
the joss.
天坛大佛的地基内一共有三层，
The Big Buddha has a three-floor
basement,
分别是功德堂、法界堂和纪念堂。
where locates the Merit Hall, Amitabha
Hall, and Memorial Hall respectively.
大牛：一共三层。那我们现在所在的是…
Three floors in total. So we are
now in the …
韩佳：第一层，功德堂啊。
First floor, the Merit Hall.
你看，这里供奉着一尊地藏王菩萨。
Look, Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva is
worshipped here.
大牛：地藏王菩萨？
Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva?
没听说过。
I never heard of it.
韩佳：这地藏王菩萨是… 大牛，你看出来没有
Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva is…
Daniel, have you found that
这尊菩萨像是用珍贵的楠木雕刻成的。
this joss is carved from precious Nanmu.
大牛：楠木雕成的，简直像是石刻一样。
From Nanmu, it looks like stone.
韩佳：这还是用五百多年前的楠木雕成的呢。
It was carved from Nanmu over
500 years ago.
大牛：这么美妙绝伦哪，真是太难得了。
So exquisite, it is indeed a rare one.
韩佳，这应该是你说的纪念堂了吧。
Han Jia, this should be the Memorial
Hall you mentioned.
韩佳：没错儿，这里有一件更珍贵的宝贝呢。
Right, there is an even more precious
treasure here.
合： 是什么？佛陀舍利，
What is it? Buddha Sarira,
韩佳：这是宝莲寺的住持亲自到斯里兰卡请回来的。
which was brought from Sri Lanka by the
master of this temple in person.
合： 那可真是十分珍贵。是啊。
It is a rare treasure indeed. Sure.
韩佳：到目前为止世界上珍藏的只有两颗佛陀舍利，
So far, there are only two most precious
Sariras in the world,
一颗在斯里兰卡，
one in Sri Lanka,
另一颗就是我们眼前的这颗了。
the other is this one before us.
大牛：这么说是无独有偶了。
So it is Wu Du You Ou.
韩佳：无独有偶是指虽然很罕见，
Wu Du You Ou means, though
rarely seen,
但是不只一个，
but there are more than one,
还有另外一个可以跟它配成对。
there is another one to match it.
大牛：无独有偶指虽然很罕见，但是不只一个。
Wu Du You Ou is a Chinese expression
which means rare but not unique.
无独有偶。
Wu Du You Ou.
Wú dú yǒu ǒu
无 独 有 偶
Rare but not unique
韩佳：不过这个词语一般是带有贬义色彩的，
But this idiom usually bears
a derogatory sense,
所以用在这里不太合适。
and is not quite proper to use this way.
大牛：不好意思，下回知道了。
Sorry, I got it.
今天我们宝莲寺之行
In our trip to the Po Lin Monastery today
真是看了不少珍奇的宝贝，开了眼界。
so many precious treasures have
broadened our vision,
韩佳：还有那么清新的香茶为我们消渴解乏。
and the fragrant tea has satisfied
our thirst.
大牛：真是轻松得不得了，爽。
We feel fairly refreshed, and cool.
韩佳：好了，观众朋友们，
So, dear audience,
接下去就是赏心悦目时间了，
Next comes the Enjoyable Scenery,
您不妨也先享受一下这宁静的生活，
Why not enjoy the tranquil life,
然后再投入到紧张的工作中去。
before devoting into the busy work?
大牛：先休息一下吧。
Let’s have a break first.
别忘了我们的口号：
Don’t forget our motto.
合： 学说中国话，朋友遍天下。
Learn to speak Chinese and
make friends everywhere.
赏心悦目：

Po Lin Monastery is located on the
Outlying Islands.
