纸浆啊
That’s pulp.
从里面取出薄薄的一层纸浆
A thin layer of such stuff taken
out from the pool
把它们晾晒后就成纸张了

after it dries.

one thousand years ago.

晋代文学家左思
Zuo Si, a writer of the Jin Dynasty,
小时候是个非常顽皮 不爱读书的孩子
was very naughty and wasn’t diligent
in his schoolwork in his childhood.
父亲经常为这事发脾气
His father often lost his temper
because of this.
有一天 父亲与朋友们聊天
One day, his father chatted
with friends.
朋友们羡慕他有个聪明可爱的儿子
They all admired his intelligent
and lovely son.
父亲叹口气说
But his father sighed and said:
别提了 他不爱学习
“Oh, no, he doesn’t like learning.
看来将来没多大出息
He seems hopeless.”
这一切都被小左思看到了
And Zuo Si noticed all this.
他非常难过
He was very sad,
于是 暗暗下定决心
Thus he secretly made up his mind
一定要刻苦学习
to study hard from then on.
日复一日
Day after day,
左思坚持不懈地发奋读书
Zuo Si persistently worked
hard on his studies
终于成为了一位学识渊博的人
before eventually becoming
a knowledgeable man.
他以三国时魏 蜀 吴首都的
His “Three Capitals Rhapsodies”
on the geography,
风土 人情 物产为内容
customs and products of the
three capitals of the states
写了《三都赋》
of Wei, Shu and Wu
在内容 结构 语言各方面
was considered an outstanding work
都达到了一定水平
in content, composition and language.
于是在京城洛阳广为流传
“Three Capitals Rhapsodies” became
so popular in the capital city Luoyang that
人们竞相传抄
a lot of people made private
copies of the work.
一下子使纸昂贵了几倍
Thus, the price of paper went
up several times.
后来竟倾销一空
In the end, all paper in
the city sold out.
不少人只好到外地买纸
Many people had to buy paper
from other places
抄写这篇千古名赋
to copy this famous work.
好 首先我们要来
Now, we’d like to
回答一位观众提出的问题
answer the questions raised
by some of our viewers.
哎 等等
Eh, wait a minute.
我首先要问你一个问题
I want to ask you a question first.
你觉得我的汉语说得怎么样
What do you think of my Chinese?
你的汉语说得不错啊
You speak Chinese pretty well.
就这么简单吗
Is that all?
那你还想怎么样
Then what do you want me to say?
有没有一点能让人来情绪的
Can you say something more
encouraging?
比如说这个
Such as what this letter says:
我的儿子说
“My son says
特别喜欢大牛叔叔
‘I extremely like Uncle Daniel.
他的中国话说得忒好了
His Chinese is so good”,
这才到位啊 谢了
which is really what I like
to hear. Thanks.
你这个人
You are such a person
怎么这么容易得意忘形啊
whose head is so easily turned
by an achievement.
那当然不是了
Of course not.
我这个人还挺虚怀若谷的
I am open-minded.
面对表扬
In the face of praise,
我总能虚心接受
I am always “xu xin” (open-minded)
to accept it.
人家都是遇到批评虚心接受
Most people are “xu xin” to
accept criticisms.
你怎么是遇到表扬虚心接受啊
How can you be “xu xin” to
accept praise?
这样吧
Well,
既然你说你的汉语说得好
since you believe your Chinese
is very good,
那现在就来回答
please answer this question
一位云南曲靖的朋友提出的问题
raised by a friend in Qujing
of Yunnan Province
怎么样
Okay?
好 尽管问吧
Okay, just go ahead.
请问汉字“须”和“需”
Please tell us what are the
differences
在使用上有什么区别呢
between “xu” and “xu” in usage.
这个很简单哪
It’s pretty easy to answer.
胡须的“须”表示“胡须”
The “xu” in “hu xu” refers to
“hu xu” (beard).
需要的“需”表示“需要”
The “xu” in “xu yao” refers
to “xu yao” (need).
对不对
Am I right?
瞧瞧 刚夸完你你就露怯
See, you’ve shown your ignorance
once again soon after I praised you.
其实这两个字的区别
Actually, we talked about
the differences of
我们在以前的节目中曾经讲过
these two words in our
previous programs.
“胡须”的“须”是副词性的
The “xu” in “hu xu” is adverbial
而“需要”的“需”是动词性的
while the “xu” in “xu yao”
is verbal,
可以当谓语用
often used as a predicate.
那要是后面跟着名词
If followed with a noun,
就得用“需求”的“需”了
then the “xu” in “xu qiu”
is required.
对啊 比如说我需要一顶帽子
Right. For instance, I “xu yao”
(need) a cap.
水是生命的必须条件
Water is a “bi xu” (necessary)
requisite for life.
怎么样 明白了吗
Okay, are you clear?
“胡须”的“须”是副词性的
The “xu” in “hu xu” is adverbial.
“需要”的“需”是动词性的
And the “xu” in “xu yao” is verbal.
对 汉语里有很多同音字
Yes. There are many homonyms
in Chinese.
如果不注意就会把它们弄错的
We may get confused by them
if we are not careful enough.
没错儿
Exactly.
我们再来看看
Now let’s read the letter written by
来自美国纽约Jenny Li的来信
Jenny Li of New York City
of the United States
她说 普通话现在在美国非常流行
She says: “Speaking Mandar
in is quite trendy
我的一些美国朋友
in America. Some of my
American friends
正在非常努力的学习普通话
are learning Mandarin Chinese
very earnestly.
同时他们也对一切关于中国的东西
At the same time, they have
also developed
产生了浓厚的兴趣
a strong interest in all
things Chinese.”
能够有这样的效果
We are also very pleased to
我们也感到非常高兴
hear such an encouraging feedback.
你看看大牛
Look at Daniel,
乐得都合不拢嘴了
smiling from ear to ear.
这不是高兴嘛
Yes, I am very pleased.
Jenny 我们会更加努力的
Jenny, we’ll be working
even harder.
随着日子一天天地过去
Time just flies.
我们的节目改版到现在
It has been more than a year now
已经有一年多的时间了
since the revamp of our program.
在这一年多的时间里
In the past year or so,
我们结识了不少好朋友
we have made many new friends.
但也许有一些观众
Perhaps, some of our viewers
对我们的节目还不是特别了解
don’t know quite well about

所以我们特别制作了一期节目

understand
