大牛：您好，劳驾，喀纳斯村怎么走？
Him excuse me, can you direct us
to Kanas Village?
我是说喀纳斯村怎么走。
I mean in which direction we should
get to Kanas Village.
韩佳：大牛，你们俩还在比画什么呢？
What are you gesturing about
with him?
大牛：哎，韩佳，
Oh, Han Jia,
你可算来了。
so good to see you here.
我找不到喀纳斯村，
I can’t find the way to Kanas Village
他说话我又听不懂。
and I don’t understand what he says.
韩佳：听不懂
But you should have understood
his gesture
你还看不懂啊。
if you don’t understand what he says.
他的意思就是喀纳斯村在下面呢。
He means Kanas Village is
down below.
大牛：啊，到了。
Oh, here we are.
韩佳，
Han Jia,
刚才那位村民说的是什么语言啊？
what language did that villager speak?
韩佳：他可不止说了一种语言呢。
He spoke not only one language.
他用了图语和蒙语。
He spoke both in Daur and Mongolian.
大牛：这图语
Daur is the language spoken
就是我们今天要拜访的图瓦族的语言。
by the Daur ethnic people, which
we’re going to visit today.
韩佳：没错儿。
Exactly.
他们平时交流的时候用图语。
Normally they communicate
with themselves in Daur.
学校的孩子上课用蒙文。
Schoolchildren use Mongolian
at school.
和周边的哈萨克人交流时就会用哈语。
When they communicate with their
Kazak neighbors, they speak Kazak.
大牛：每个人会三到四种语言呢！
Everyone can speak three to
four languages!
真厉害！真是能说会道。
Fantastic! They are really “neng
shuo hui dao”.
韩佳：你怎么张口就来啊。
You are so quick-tongued.
能说会道不是指会很多种语言。
But “neng shuo hui dao” does not mean
to understand several languages.
而是指某人很善于言辞，很会说话。
It means to be eloquent or
glib-tongued.
大牛：能说会道指某人很善于言辞，
”neng shuo hui dao” is a Chinese
expression which means to be
很会说话。
a gifted orator or to have the
gift of gab.
能说会道。
”neng shuo hui dao”.
哎，这不是说我呢吗？
Oh, does this refer to me?
开玩笑。
Just kidding.
今天我总算碰到比我有语言天赋的人了。
Today I’ve finally met someone who’s
more gifted in language than I.
wǒ zǒngsuàn pèngdào bǐ wǒ yǒu yǔyán tiānfù de rén le.
我 总算 碰到 比 我 有 语言 天赋 的 人 了。
Finally, I’ve found someone who is
more talented with language than I am.
韩佳你看，敖包！
Han Jia, an Obo mound!
那不是蒙古族的吗？
Isn’t that Mongolian?
韩佳：是啊。这图瓦人啊，
Yeah. It’s said these Daurs here
据说是当年成吉思汗西征
were descendants of Genghis Khan’s
遗留下来的部分士兵逐渐繁衍起来的。
westward expeditionary troops.
大牛：哦，原来是这样。
Oh, I see.
韩佳：其实最有图瓦族特色的
In fact, the most salient Daur
ethnic features
是那些散落在村中的小木屋。
are shown by those little wooden
houses scattered in the village.
大牛：我才刚刚发现，
I just found that
松木的屋脊、松木的墙壁，
the roof, the walls and
连这围栏都是松木做的。
even the fences are all built with
pine timber.
真有特色！
Very peculiar!
韩佳：哎，你听。更有特色的在那儿呢。
Hey, listen. The more peculiar
thing is over there.
大牛：听上去很古老啊！
Sounds very ancient!
韩佳，这是什么乐器？
Han Jia, what kind of musical
instrument is it?
韩佳：这就是图瓦人的传统乐器楚乌尔。
This is the traditional musical
instrument-the chuwuer.
是用当地的一种植物做成的。
It is made of a local plant.
大牛：我看看。真是太神奇了！
Let me take a look.
It’s fantastic!
只有三个孔，
With only three holes,
竟然还能吹出这么动听的乐曲。
it can produce such a melodic tune.
韩佳：所以说图瓦人也是音乐高手。
So the Daurs are also talented musicians.
大牛：韩佳，我想让这位先生
Han Jia, I’d like this gentleman
教教我演奏楚乌尔。
to teach me how to blow the chuwuer.
韩佳：那你可找对人了。
You have found the right person.
这位先生在当地演奏是非常有名的。
This gentleman is a well-known
chuwuer musician.
跟他学肯定学得快。
You’ll make good progress if
you learn from him
大牛：这么多种乐器我们慢慢学吧。
So many instruments here! I have
to take it easy.
Zhème duō zhǒng yuèqì, wǒmen mànmàn xué ba.
这么 多 种 乐器， 我们 慢慢 学 吧！
So many different kinds of instruments,
we can study them at our leisure.
韩佳，你觉得我吹得怎么样啊？
Han Jia, how do you think of my
playing the instrument?
韩佳：你啊还算说得过去。
Just “shuo de guo qu” (passable).
大牛：说得过去？去哪儿？
”shuo de guo qu”? Where to?
韩佳：说得过去是指还可以，比较满意。
”shuo de guo qu” means passable,
relatively satisfactory.

quite a while,
我有点口渴了。
I feel a bit thirsty.
大牛：我好像闻到了一股香味。
I seem to have smelt a kind of aroma.
韩佳：香味？
Aroma?
大牛，你的鼻子还真灵。
Daniel, you have a sharp nose.
这就是图瓦人制奶酒的容器。
This is a Daur vessel for making
milk wine.
Zhè shì túwǎrén zhìzuò nǎijiǔ de róngqì.
这 是 图瓦人 制作 奶酒 的 容器。
This is a vat which the Tuwa people
use to ferment milk wine.
大牛：这么大怎么用啊？
It’s so big. How do they use it?
韩佳：其实啊，很简单。
Actually, it’s very simple.
先把发酵的牛奶装到里面煮沸。
First pour the fermented milk into it.
Then boil it on fire
让它变成蒸汽。
to distill it.
大牛：哦，这个容器是做蒸馏用的。
I see. This vat is used for distillation.
用的是蒸馏的方法，对不对？
They use a distilling method, right?
韩佳：你还真说对了。
You are right.
其实这奶酒指的就是蒸汽，
Actually, the milk wine refers to
a kind of gas,
它在这个封闭的容器里面变成水珠。
which becomes tiny droplets in
a sealed vessel.
然后就顺着这根特制的管子流出来。
Then the liquid flows out through
this tube.
大牛：然后一碗新鲜的奶酒就做好了。
Thus a bowl of fresh milk wine
is made.
韩佳：哎，大牛，要不然你也自己试试？
Eh, Daniel, What about having
a try yourself?
大牛：这么新鲜的奶酒当然要尝一尝了。
I’ll surely take a sip of such fresh
milk wine.
韩佳：嗨，我说的是让你试着做做。
Hey, I want you to try and make
the wine yourself.
谁让你喝了呀。
I didn’t ask you to drink it.
大牛：哎哟，不好意思。
Oh, I am sorry.
理解错了。
A misunderstanding.
我怎么补偿你呢？
What should I do for you as a punishment?
韩佳：哎呀，别补偿我了。
Hey, not for me.
你还是带着电视机前的观众朋友们，
You’d better take our viewers on a trip
去了解一下图瓦人的民俗风情吧。
to understand Daur people’s customs.
大牛：没问题。您往那儿看。
No problem. Look in that direction,
please.
赏心悦目：
图瓦人是我国一支历史悠久的古老游牧民族
The ethnic Daurs are a nomadic people
with a long history.
自古以来就以狩猎 游牧为生
They have lived on hunting and raising
livestock since ancient times.

大牛: 自己的劳动果实就是不一样。
All people are proud of their own
achievements.
这可是我自己做的。
This is what I made myself.
真好喝！
It tastes good!
韩佳：大牛。
Daniel.
大牛：韩佳，你又来晚了。
Han Jia, you are late again.
没有了。
Nothing left.
要不我再给你做一碗？
Should I make you another bowl

韩佳：行了，行了。你还是先给大家出题吧。
