And spend a weekend of relaxation.

欢迎来到《快乐中国》

Welcome to this edition of

Happy China.

我是快乐的韩佳

I am the happy Han Jia.

我是快乐的大牛

And I am the happy Daniel.

我们现在是在

We are now at …

哎 大牛 先别说

Eh, Daniel, wait a second.

让观众朋友们猜猜

We’d better let our viewers give

it a guess.

韩佳 我们已经在唐布拉草原

Han Jia, we’ve been on the

Tangbula Grassland

待了一个星期了

for already a week,

观众朋友们能认不出来吗

it’s impossible for our viewers

not to recognize it.

大牛 你怎么把地点提前说出来了啊

Daniel, how could you reveal

our location so early?

芝麻开门

Sesame, open the door!

大牛 你这是在干吗

Daniel, what are you doing?

韩佳 你看 像不像一道石门

Han Jia, look, doesn’t it look like

a stone gate

中间被水劈开了

cut open by water?

这就是有名的寨口石门

This is the renowned Kuze Stone Gate.

两边的石壁是天然形成的

Both of these two stonewalls are natural.

人们就在石壁的两侧筑坝

A dam was built on the flanks of

the stone walls

形成了这样一座小水库

to form a reservoir.

真没想到在辽阔的草原上

I didn’t expect on this vast grassland,

还会有这样的怪石峭壁

there could have been such queer

stones and precipices.

还有更奇怪的石头你没看到呢

There are even more queer stones

you haven’t seen yet.

哦 在哪儿啊

Oh, where are they?

走 到出行指南中去看看

Well, let’s take a look at Today’s Itinerary.

犁为天山支脉环绕分隔

Ili Prefecture is surrounded and cut into

two parts by the Tianshan Mountain ranges,

自然景观奇异

creating wondrous landscapes.

在那清溪奔流的峡谷中

In those valleys with crystal-clear

streams,

往往分布着许多奇形怪状

there are normally many odd-shaped

姿态各异的巨石

giant stones,

让您遐想联翩 过目难忘

invoking imaginations and leaving

unforgettable impressions.

在伊犁 令您难忘的不仅是美景

What is unforgettable in Ili is not

only the beautiful scenery,

还有那浓郁的民族风情

but also the impressive lifestyle

and customs.

您可以看到惊险刺激

Here you can see the breathtaking

跌宕起伏的叼羊比赛

and suspense-laden lamb

snatching contests,

轻灵刺激的马上拾银

the exciting contests to pick up

coins on horseback

以及强悍有力的马上角力

and the unique wrestling also

on horseback.

如果您想放松一下紧张的心情

If you want to have a moment

of relaxation,

那就坐下来听一听哈萨克族

you can sit down and have a listen to

民间艺人的弹唱吧

the ballad singing of Kazak

folk artists.

这奇妙的草原生活

Do you find the grassland life here

是不是让您流连忘返了呢

fabulous and enchanting?

大牛 这哈萨克族的姑娘追

Daniel, the Kazak girls’ chase

可是极具特色的民间活动啊

is a unique ethnic custom.

这个我知道

This I know.

你看看姑娘们在马背上的英姿

Look at those brave girls

on horseback.

真是令人钦佩啊

I really admire them.

的确如此

Yes, indeed.

哎 韩佳 我觉得你也行啊

Eh, Han Jia, I think you are

also competent.

要不你也去参加姑娘追

Why do you also join the girls’ chase

我在这里倚马可待

while I am here “yi ma ke dai”?

你还知道倚马可待这个成语哪

Do you know what “yi ma ke

dai” means?

那是 我是谁啊 牛状元

Of course, I do. I am Scholar

No.1 Daniel.

不过牛状元

But Scholar No. 1 Daniel,

这倚马可待的意思你好像搞错了吧

perhaps you are mistaken about

the idiom “yi ma ke dai”.

怎么可能呢

How come?

怎么不可能 你看

How come? Please watch this.

在东晋时期

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

大将桓温手下有一名文官叫袁宏

General Huan Wen has a subordinate,

Yuan Hong,

是个非常有才华的人

a very talented man.

可是 有一次他因为犯了一点小错误

But at one time, because of a

minor slip,

惹怒了大将桓温

he offends General Huan Wen

被免去了职务

and is relieved of his official post.

这时正赶上军队要北伐

The event takes place amidst Huan

Wen’s Northern Expedition campaign.

需要一篇鼓舞士气的文章

He needs a piece of writing to encourage

his troops.

怎么搞的

“Why?

军队就要出发了

The troops are about to set off

文章还没有写好

and you haven’t finished the writing.”

将军不要生气

“Don’t be angry, general.

以前的文章都是袁宏写的

Such writings used to be done by

Yuan Hong,

他写得又快又好

who writes much faster and better.

我们没法跟他比呀

We are no match for him.”

那好 让他来写

“Alright, ask him over to write it.

袁宏 军队马上就要出发了

Yuan Hong, the troops are about

to set off.

这篇文章很急

This is an urgent discourse.

你要赶快写出来

You must write it as soon as possible.”

是 将军

“Yes, general.”

这样吧

“You’d better

你就在战马的旁边找个地方开始写吧

write it by the side of your war horse.”

于是袁宏就在即将出发的战马旁开始起草文章

Thus Yuan Hong starts writing the document

right by the side of his war horse.

他提笔就写

He writes so fast

好像都不用思考一样

as if without thinking.

不一会儿就写下了七页文章

He writes seven pages all in one go.

将军 文章已经写好了

“General, the document is done.”

嗯 不错 果然是又快又好

“Oh. Not bad. You did do it faster

and better.

袁宏 你真是难得的人才啊

Yuan Hong, you are indeed a

rare talent.”

我们新疆好地方啊

Our Xinjiang is a nice place,

天山南北好牧场啊

With nice pastures beyond the

Tianshan Mountains.

大牛 还没唱够哪

Daniel, you’ve always an insatiable

desire to sing.

新疆的景色真的是怎么看都看不够

That’s because I can never see enough

of Xinjiang’s scenery.

不过现在还要完成读信的任务

But we’ve to fulfill the task of

reading letters.

Speaking of this reminds me of the

song, “Ours Is a Loving Family”,

in our special program.

一幅幅熟悉的画面

给了我们更多的感动

really stirred our hearts.

正是这首歌很好地诠释了

Chinese. Friends interested in Chinese

大家真的是亲如一家

And this song has made us more confident

更加喜爱这个家了

and more attached to this family.

这点对我来说真是感触颇多

This feeling seems so strong for me

因为在这个家里面

because in this family,

无论什么时候无论走到哪里

no matter where we go,

总有关心的声音

there are always voices of concern

亲切的问候回响在我的耳边

and warm greetings echoing in my ears.

在这里我要衷心地对所有同事们

Here I’d like to express my sincere

说非常感谢你们

thanks to all our viewers.

所以不管有多苦有多累

No matter how hard and tiring

the task is,

为了大家我们一起努力吧

let’s work together.

大牛 让我们和所有的同事一起喊

Daniel, let the two of us and all

our viewers shout in unison:
