旁白： 秦皇岛是中国惟一一座
Qinhuangdao is the only city
in China
以帝王的名称命名的城市。
that was named after an emperor.
既然名为秦皇，
Since it’s called Qinhuangdao,
那么跟中国的第一位皇帝——秦始皇
it must have had an inseparable relationship
自然有着密不可分的关系。
with China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang.
传说，
It is said
这里就是秦始皇拜海求仙的地方
here’s the place where Emperor
Qin Shihuang
拜海求仙，
paid homage to the sea and
sought a magic drug.
有点儿神秘是吧？
Does this sound a bit mysterious?
我的搭档王渊源可早就迫不及待了。
But my co-host Wang Yuanyuan already
couldn’t wait to see this place.
王渊源：韩佳，你今天可答应带我
Han Jia, you promised me today
去看那个秦始皇求仙的地方。
to take me to see the place where Qin
Shihuang sought a magic drug.
说话得算数啊！
You must keep your word!
韩佳： 没问题。这不就在前面了。
No problem. It’s right ahead.
王渊源：没想到会这么快呀。
I didn’t expect it to be so quickly.
这些人都是谁呀？这么威风啊！
Who are they? They look so majestic!
韩佳： 秦始皇的仪仗队呀。
The guard of honor of Qin Shihuang.
王渊源：啊？
What?
韩佳： 据说啊，
It’s said that
秦始皇一生有五次出巡。
Qin Shihuang took five inspection tours
during his lifetime.
每次出巡都有非常隆重的
And every tour was a big event.
车马队伍随行。
He was accompanied by
big entourage.
那么这组雕塑呢，就是两千多年前
This group of statues depicts
秦始皇曾经出行的情景再现。
one of his such tours over 2,000
years ago.
王渊源：你还别说，
Believe it or not,
我好像是真的看见了
I seem to have formed a
clear picture
秦始皇出游的场面啊。
of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s such
inspection tours.
虽然只是雕塑，可是形态、气势什么的，
Although they are only statues,
简直是栩栩如生。
their shapes and postures are
very vivid.
韩佳： 这个成语用得好。
You used this set phrase perfectly.
“栩栩如生”这个成语呢，
“Xuxu ru sheng”
经常会用来形容美术等文艺作品
means that a work of art
对事物的刻画非常准确，
is depicted very vividly,
就好像真的一样。
like the real thing.
王渊源：所以，如果想形容一件艺术品看起来
So if you want to say the something
looks just
像真的一样，你可以说栩栩如生。
like the real thing, you can say
“xuxu ru sheng”.
韩佳： 没错儿。
Absolutely.
Zhè zǔ diāosù zhēn shi xǔxǔrúshēng
这 组 雕塑 真 是 栩栩如生。
This group of statues looks
just like the real thing.
王渊源：您听明白了吧？
Are you clear?
韩佳： 后来呢，秦始皇因为听说
It is said Qin Shihuang heard that
这里的海中呢有个仙岛，
there was a magic island in
the sea here,
岛上有长生不老药。
where a longevity herb was growing.
于是就在第四次出巡的时候选择这里。
So he chose this place as the destination
of his fourth inspection tour.
派了两批人马入海求仙。
He sent two groups of people to the
sea in search of the magic herb.
因此，这个地方也被叫做
Therefore, this place was
called thereafter …
王渊源：秦皇岛了，对吧？
Qinhuangdao, right?
韩佳： 真聪明。
You are smart.
渊源，你知道秦始皇在统一六国之前的
Yuanyuan, do you know what the period
before Qin Shihuang unified the six states
那段时间，历史上称为什么朝代吗？
is called in Chinese history?
王渊源：这个简单。
That’s simple.
就是战国时期嘛。
It’s called the Warring States Period.
韩佳： 没错儿。战国时期有很多国家。
Exactly. During the Warring States
Period, there were many states.
那实力最强的只有七个。
But there were only seven most
powerful ones.
就是后来被人们称为“战国七雄”的
They are known as seven powers of
the period,
齐、楚、燕、韩、赵、魏、秦。
namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao,
Wei and Qin.
王渊源：等一下。我还是拿笔记一下。
Wait a second. I better take a pen
and note this down.
韩佳： 行了，行了。
It’s unnecessary.
这不我们已经到了战国风情园了。
We’re already in the Warring
States Park.
正好，我给你补习一下
I’ll give you a remedial tutorial
战国时期的历史知识吧。
on the history of the Warring
States Period.
战国时期，其实实力最强的是赵国。
Actually, the most powerful state of
the period was the State of Zhao.
那后来呢…
Then …
王渊源：韩佳真是太高估了
Han Jia obviously overestimated
我的理解能力了。
my comprehension ability.
短短的几分钟就想把
She wants to explain clearly
to me
战国七雄的混战局面给我讲清楚，
the chaotic situation of the seven powers
just in a few minutes,
中国的历史文化
Chinese history and Chinese culture
可不是几句话就能说清楚的呀。
couldn’t be explained clearly
just in a few sentences.
韩佳： 渊源，我说了这么多。
Yuanyuan, I’ve been talking a lot.
你有什么感想吗，渊源？
Do you have any thoughts,
Yuanyuan?
王渊源：啊？
What?
韩佳： 问你有什么感想。
I’m asking you if you have
any thoughts.
王渊源：有，有。
Yes, yes.
我觉得这战国七雄
I think all the seven powers of
the Warring States Period
其实都很有实力。
had great solid strength.
当年，这秦始皇能够统一中国
And it wasn’t easy for Qin Shihuang
还真不是件容易的事。
to unify China in those years.
韩佳： 那当然了。
Of course not.
王渊源：都统一六国了，你想，
After unifying the other six states,
秦始皇也该满足了吧。
I think Emperor Qin Shihuang should
have felt satisfied.
韩佳： “满足”就是指感到已经足够了，
“Manzu” means to feel satisfied
不再有别的要求了。
and not to want anything else.
王渊源：对。“满足”就是指感到已经满意了、足够了。
Yes. “Manzu” means satisfied
or to satisfy.
我呀，只要每天能快乐地工作，
For me, as long as I can work happily
every day,
就已经满足了。
I am already satisfied.
韩佳： 看来，你挺容易满足的嘛。
It seems it’s easy for you to
get satisfied.
王渊源：那是。俗话说得好：
Sure. As the saying goes:
“知足者常乐。”
“Content is happiness.”
旁白： 然而，两千多年前的秦始皇
But over 2,000 years ago,
却不那么容易满足。
it wasn’t easy for Qin Shihuang to
get satisfied.
统一六国之后，
After unifying the other six states,
他还希望自己能够永远地统治天下。
he wished he could rule the country
forever.
因此才有了求取长生不老药的念头。
That’s why he had the idea to obtain
a longevity drug.
也才有了我们下面要去的
And now we’re going to visit
秦始皇求仙路。
the road Qin Shihuang took for
that purpose.
王渊源：这条应该是…
Is this road the …
韩佳： 就是秦始皇的求仙路了。
That’s the road Qin Shihuang took
to seek his longevity drug.
那顺着这条路走下去呢，
Walking along this road,
那边就是秦始皇
we’ll see over there the place
当年举行求仙仪式的地方了。
where the magic drug search ceremony
was held.
王渊源：看那座雕像。
You check out that statue.
高举酒杯，这么专注啊！看样子，
Raising high his wine cup, how
intent he looks!
这个秦始皇还真是盼望着
Surely Emperor Qin Shihuang hoped
能有长生不老的仙丹带回来啊。
that a real longevity drug could be
brought back.
旁白： 事实上，
As a matter of fact,
仙丹是不可能有的。
the magic longevity drug
didn’t exist.
但是秦始皇的入海求仙，
But Qin Shihuang’s effort to search for
the drug in the sea,
却一定程度上开辟了
to some extent, opened
那个时代的航海之旅。
China’s sea navigation effort
of that time.
而比起秦始皇当年的船队，
In comparison with Qin Shihuang’s fleet,
今天秦皇岛的油轮可是先进多了。
the oil tankers of Qinhuangdao today
are more advanced.
韩佳： 渊源，你这是在干什么？
Yuanyuan, what are you doing here?
王渊源：秦皇号船长——王渊源
Wang Yuanyuan, Captain of
the Qinhuan Ship,
也要入海求仙了。你有什么事吗？
also wants to go to the sea in search of
the magic drug. What’s up?
工作时间，请勿打扰。
It’s work time. No disturbance, please.
“打扰”意思是烦扰或扰乱。
“Darao” means to bother or disturb.
韩佳： 不是啊。我的意思是…
No. I mean …
王渊源：你还没举例子呢。
You haven’t given us an example.
韩佳： 那好吧。举个例子来说。
Okay. Let me give you an example.
Qǐng bú yào dǎrǎo wǒ de gōngzuò
请 不 要 打扰 我 的 工作。
Please don’t disturb my work.
王渊源：就是嘛，请不要打扰我的工作。
Absolutely, please don’t disturb
my work.
韩佳： 哎，王船长，你怎么了？
Hey, Captain Wang, what’s wrong
with you?
王渊源：我其实，有点晕船了。
Honestly, I’m feeling a bit seasick.
韩佳： 晕船？
Seasick?
哪有晕船的船长啊？
Are there any seasick captains?
你看，真正的船长来了。
Look, the real captain is coming.
这位就是秦皇号的船长——张船长。
This is the captain of the Qinhuang Ship,
Captain Zhang.
王渊源：船长，你好！
Hello, Captain!
船长： 你好。
Hello.
韩佳： 船长，请教一下。
Captain, excuse me.
这个是干什么用的呀？
What is this used for?
船长： 这个是控制主机的。
It is used to control the main engine.
操纵杆。
It’s called the control lever.
韩佳： 那船长，咱们到前面的甲板上去吧。
Captain, let’s move over to
the front deck.
您给我们讲一下
And we’d like you to tell
us something
航行的路线，行吗？
about the navigation routes, okay?
船长： 可以，可以。
Okay, sure.
韩佳： 走吧。
Let’s go.
王渊源：得，改培训韩佳当船长了。
It seems Han Jia would be trained
to be a captain.
我，只能看今天的赏心悦目。
As for me, I can only watch today’s
Feast for the Eyes.
赏心悦目：
秦皇岛是中国惟一以帝王名称命名的城市
Qinhuangdao is the only Chinese city
that was named after an emperor.
公元215年 秦始皇东巡至此 拜海求仙
In 215 AD, Emperor Qin Shihuang came here
to pay homage to the sea and seek a longevity drug.
秦皇岛因此得名
That’s why the city was named Qinhuangdao.
遥遥求仙路
The Qiuxian Road is lined
犹现出昔日求仙入海的壮观场面
with sculptures depicting the emperor’s
trip in search of a longevity drug.
秦始皇在此高举金樽 祭奠沧海
Raising high his wine cup, Qin Shihuang
expresses his respect for the vast sea.
为您展现一幅二千年前的古老画卷
These sculptures bring to life a historical event
吟唱一曲传诵至今的亘古长歌
that took place over 2,000 years ago.
韩佳： 渊源，
Yuanyuan,
这趟入海求仙之旅
what do you think
感觉怎么样啊？
of this magic drug seeking voyage?
王渊源：没遇见仙，
I neither met any immortals
也没找到药。
nor found any longevity drugs.
倒是看见了很多好风景。
But I did see a lot of beautiful scenery.
韩佳： 那倒是。
That’s for sure.
王渊源：只不过我就是…
But the only problem …
韩佳： 有点晕船？
A bit seasick?
王渊源：有点晕，对。
Yes, a bit dizzy.
咱们也别开玩笑吧。
No more joking.
