轻松过周末

And spend a weekend of relaxation!

大家好 周末又到了

Hello there! It is weekend again.

韩佳和渊源祝您周末愉快

Han Jia and Yuanyuan wish

you a nice weekend!

陆家嘴的高楼大厦实在是太多了

There are too many tall buildings

in Lujiazui.

物以稀为贵嘛

There rarer, the more precious.

我觉得这幢老房子很有特色

Different from you, I think this old

house is very extraordinary.

和周围林立的高楼比起来

Compared with the surrounding

high-rises,

的确很特别

it surely looks very special.

它还是典型的石库门建筑呢

And it is a typical Shikumen-style house.

对呀 它建于1917年

Yes. It was built in 1917.

现在是作为陆家嘴的开发陈列室了

Now it serves as a showroom of

Lujiazui development.

那我觉得陆家嘴有特色的地方啊

In my opinion, another singular place

还有

in Lujiazui is …

还有我们身后这片中心绿地

This stretch of Central Green

behind us,

对不对

right?

对呀

Yes.

你想在这么密集的高楼之间

Just imagine, having a 100,000-square-meter

能有这十万平方米的绿地

lawn amid these densely

spaced high-rises

实在是很难得啊

is really hard to come by.

这个地方最适合

This is a most ideal place

工作之余放松心情

to relax after work.

那既然我们来到这儿

Since we are already here,

我们也不如好好休息一下

we’d better take a good rest here.

好啊 你不行啊

Good idea. But you can’t.

本周的快乐周记你写了吗

Have you written this week’s

Happy Weekly Diary?

哦 对 这周该我写了

Oh, yeah, it’s my turn to

write it this week.

这一周

This week,

我们继续着在上海的行程

we continued our tour in Shanghai.

同时也对这座城市

Meanwhile, we’ve also gained

some deeper

有了更深入的了解

understanding of this city.

在上海将怀旧和时尚

The best of places that combine nostalgia

综合的最为完美的地方

with vogue in Shanghai

这就是新天地

is Xintiandi.

来新天地

Visiting Xintiandi,

不管你来自哪个国家

no matter which country

you’re from,

不管你是男是女 是老是少

male or female, old or young,

都会找到自己想要的感觉

you’ll find the feeling you want.

中国银行是中国历史最悠久的银行

The Bank of China is the oldest bank

in China.

中国银行在上海的大楼也气势不凡

The buildings of the Bank of China

are also very impressive.

外滩的老大楼和浦东的新大楼

The old building on the Bund and

the new one in Pudong

隔着黄浦江遥遥相对

face each other across the

Huangpu River,

向人们展示出中国银行的实力

displaying to people the Bank

of China’s strength.

浦东新区的兴起

The rise of the Pudong New Area

为上海的城市发展开辟了新的空间

has opened a new vistas for

Shanghai’s development.

陆家嘴金融区 张江高科技园区

Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone

and Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park

这些园区都为上海的经济

have both added new vitality

增添了许多活力

to Shanghai’s economy.

洋山港既承载着

Yangshan Port bears the hope

把上海打造成国际航运中心的理想

of turning Shanghai into an international

shipping center,

也是上海进一步拓宽发展空间

as an infrastructure project intended

to broaden

提升服务能力的基础工程

vistas for Shanghai’s development and

upgrade the service capacities.

东海大桥全长三十二公里

The Donghai Bridge, 32 km

in length,

造型简洁大气

is succinct and grand in design.

是连接洋山港和陆地的通道

It is as a transport link between

Yangshan Port and Shanghai proper.

来上海 我最大的感受

As a visitor in Shanghai, I

am most impressed

就是这儿的老建筑特别多

by the fact that there are

so many old buildings

现代化的高楼也特别多

and so many modern high-rises

as well.

还有 还有

Not just that.

车也特别多 人也特别多

There are also so many cars

and so many people.

用一个成语来形容

To use an idiom to describe this,

真是车水马龙

it is indeed “che shui ma long”.

哎 那你给大家讲讲

Eh, you’d better tell us

这个成语故事吧

the story about this idiom, okay?

啊 还有故事呢

What, there is even a story

about it?

那当然了

Sure, of course.

东汉名将

Ma Shi, the daughter of Ma Yuan,

马援的女儿马氏

a renowned general of the

Eastern Han Dynasty,

由于父母早亡

starts to take care of the

family chores

年纪很小时就操办家中的事情

at an early age after the death

of her parents.

把家务料理得井然有序

She does her housework in

an orderly manner.

亲朋们都称赞她是个能干的人

Relatives and friends all praise

her for her ability.

后来 马氏当了皇后

Later, Ma Shi becomes an empress.

但是她的生活依然非常俭朴

But she continues to live a

plain and frugal life.

皇帝死后

After the death of the emperor,

太子继位

the crown prince succeeds

to the throne.

册封她为皇太后

He confers on her the title

of empress dowager.

现在您被册封为皇太后

“Now that you are Empress Dowager,

生活不用过得那样俭朴了吧

you don’t have to live

so frugally.”

我没有觉得

“I don’t think it is bad

生活俭朴有什么不好的

to live frugally.

都习惯了

I’m used to it.”

最近有大臣上奏说

“Some ministers suggested

recently that

您荣升皇太后

after your promotion to

Empress Dowager,

应该为您的兄弟们封爵封侯

you should confer dukedom

on your brothers

好让他们生活荣华富贵

so as to let them live

in luxury.”

呃 这样不好

“Oh, that’s a bad idea.”

皇太后想了想

Thinking a little while,

于是她写下了一道懿旨

she writes a decree in the name

of Empress Dowager:

前几天我路过娘家

“A few days ago, I passed

by my parents’ home.

看见去那里拜访的人非常多

I saw many visitors going up there.

路上的车辆像流水一样源源不断

Carriages on the way looked like

an endless stream

马匹都排成了队伍

and horses were lined up

宛若一条长龙一样

like a long dragon.

可见他们的生活已经非常奢华了

It showed they already live a

luxurious life.

我看就不必再为他们封爵封侯了

I think no dukedom should be

conferred on them.”

“车水马龙”这则成语的意思是指

The idiom “che shui ma long”

literally means

路上车马很多 行人往来不断

an endless stream of carriages

and horses.

现在用来形容街市车来人往

It is now used to describe

busy traffic

一片繁华热闹的景象

or a bustling scene of activity.

韩佳

Han Jia,

我们这周的收获还是挺多的嘛

what a rewarding time we’ve

had this week!

那当然了

That’s for sure.

不仅饱览了上海美丽的风光

In addition to feasting our eyes

on Shanghai’s scenery,

而且还收到了

we’ve also received

很多观众朋友们的来信

many letters from our audience.

那我们就抓紧时间

Then let’s hurry

跟大家说说吧

and talk about them to

our audience.

好啊

Okay.

第一封信呢

The first letter

是美国的Thomas Lai朋友写来的

was written by Thomas Lai of

the United States.

他说很高兴看到我们栏目组

He says he was very happy

为他寄去的小风筝纪念品

to receive the little kite as

a souvenir

和《汉语世界》杂志

and a copy of the World of

Chinese from us.

而且还从杂志中

He says he has learned from

the magazine

学到了很多实用的汉语知识

a lot of useful knowledge

of Chinese.

这位Thomas Lai朋友的信

Our friend Thomas Lai

是用汉语拼音拼写的

wrote the letter using the

Chinese Pinyin system.

虽然在他的拼写中

Despite some small

会有一些小小的错误

spelling mistakes,

不过我们还能感觉到

we can still perceive

他学习汉语的态度很认真的

his serious attitude toward

learning Chinese.

那我觉得只要有认真的态度

I am sure as long as you have

a serious attitude,

就一定可以把汉语学好

you will definitely learn

Chinese well.

Thomas朋友

We hope our friend Thomas

你一定要继续加油啊

will continue his effort in

this regard

希望有一天

so that one day,

我们会看到您用中文写的信

we’ll receive from you a letter

written in Chinese.
