扬州城始建于春秋末期

The city of Yangzhou was established in

the late Spring and Autumn Period.

至今已有两千四百多年

By far, it has a history of over

2,400 years.

历史上的扬州 水资源十分丰富

沟通中国南北的京杭大运河

connects the North and South of China

在古城墙下已静静流淌千百年

has been flowing at the foot of the ancient

city walls for thousands of years.

说到扬州八怪 您可能并不陌生

Speaking of the Eight Eccentrics of

Yangzhou, few people may feel unfamiliar.

他们以鲜明的个性和独特的艺术风格

They are well-known for distinctive

personalities

而著称于世

and unique artistic styles.

八怪之一的郑板桥更是富于传奇色彩

Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight

Eccentrics, was even more romantic.

扬州八怪纪念馆里收藏着八怪的作品

The Memorial Hall of Yangzhou Eight

Eccentrics has a collection of their works.

如果您想知道他们究竟怪在哪里

If you want to know where they

were eccentric,

就来这儿看一看吧

come here and take a look.

扬州还是淮扬菜的故乡

Yangzhou is also the origin of

Huaiyang Cuisine.

淮扬菜系始于汉唐

Huaiyang Cuisine started in the Han

and Tang Dynasties,

而兴盛于明清

boomed in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

是中国四大菜系之一

It is one of China’s for major cuisines.

其味道鲜美 口感细腻

Dishes of Huaiyang Cuisine are fresh

and fine in taste

菜肴层出不穷

with diverse choice.

各位食客可千万不要错过

You can’t miss it.

怎么样 观众朋友们

Dear viewers, how about it?

扬州不错吧

Yangzhou is a good place.

那就别犹豫了 赶紧来吧

Don’t hesitate. Come on.

我大牛当导游

Daniel will be you guide.

大牛 大牛 你别太牛

Daniel, Daniel, don’t boast yourself.

你对这扬州的文化 景点 饮食都了解吗

Are you acquainted with the culture,

scenic spots and catering in Yangzhou?

都待了半个月了

I’ve been here for half a month.

我看差不多了

I think that’s enough.

好 那我就要考考你了

Well, let me test you.

你看 这花窗上的蝙蝠正对着房间的门

Look, the bat on the figured window

is right opposite to the door.

它象征着什么

What does it mean?

象征着福气盈门

It symbolizes good fortune inside the door.

盈呢就是充满的意思

Ying means full of.

我再考考你

Next one.

你看 这蝙蝠都在房子后面的墙壁上

Look, the bats are all on the back walls.

这又象征着什么呢

What does it mean?

象征着必有后福

There will be lucky in later life.

还有 你看这蝙蝠啊都是倒着的

And why the bats are head over heels?

那倒着的蝙蝠呢

It means that

这象征着福到了

happiness has come.

怎么样 没错吧

What do you think? Am I correct?

这是我不鸣则已 一鸣惊人

It’s called Bu Ming Ze Yi,

Yi Ming Jing Ren.

那你知道一鸣惊人的成语故事吗

Do you know the story about the idiom

Yi Ming Jing Ren?

又没声了

You surely don’t.

好吧 现在就让我们进入今天的

Well, let’s go to today’s

快乐成语

Happy Idiom.

齐国的国王

The King of Qi State

是一位刚刚继位的年轻人

was a young man who just succeeded

to the throne.

继位后 他整天喝酒作乐

After the succession, he drank and

enjoyed himself everyday

国家的事情他根本不管

but didn’t take care of national affairs.

大家想劝劝他 却又找不到合适的方法

Ministers wanted to persuade him,

but had no appropriate means.

大臣淳于髡想到了一个好办法

Chunyu Kun, one of the ministers,

got a good idea.

大王 有这样一只大鸟

Your Majesty, there is a big bird

它三年前飞到了皇宫里

that flied to the imperial palace

three years ago,

奇怪的是 这三年来它既没有飞过一次

but it’s strange that it neither flied

again nor made a sound

也没有人听见它叫过一声

in the past three years.

国王听出了这个故事实际上是在说自己

The King knew that the story was

about himself.

这是一只不平凡的鸟啊

It’s an uncommon bird.

它平时不会飞 一飞起来就会直上云天

It doesn’t fly at ordinary times.

Once it flies, it will fly to the sky.

它平时不叫

It doesn’t make a sound.

一叫起来天下都会被它惊动啊

Once it make a sound, the world

will be shocked.

从此 国王不再喝酒作乐

From then on, the King spared time

他开始专心地治理国家

to govern the state intently,

国家渐渐强盛起来

and the state became strong gradually.
