we

are

going

to

enter

some

of

the

city's

famous

caves,

of

which

there

are

more

than

700.

Known

as

the

Mogao

Grottoes,

these

ancient

caves

were

carved

out

of

the

rock

over

a

period

of

1,000

years.

敦煌有七百多個(gè)洞窟，現(xiàn)在我們將要參觀其中幾個(gè)著名的洞窟。這些古老的洞窟被稱為莫高窟，是一千多年前在巖石上雕刻而成的。教材原文教材譯文If

you

look

up,

you

can

see

the

paintings

and

other

artworks

that

are

testimony

to

how

the

Silk

Road

brought

East

and

West

together.

Look

at

these

statues!如果你抬起頭，就可以看見(jiàn)壁畫和其他藝術(shù)品，它們見(jiàn)證了絲綢之路是如何將東西方連接在一起的。教材原文教材譯文You

elements

from

Ancient

view.

Look

them!

The

an

astonishing

area

of

45,000

square

metres.看看這些塑像!你可以從中發(fā)現(xiàn)古希臘、古印度和古伊朗的元素。現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)看看洞窟四周的墻壁，請(qǐng)靠近一點(diǎn)，這樣你就可以看得更清楚。看看這些壁畫!它們的面積有45，000平方米，非常驚人。教材原文教材譯文ThesubjectsoftheDunhuangmurals

The

Apsaras

are

in

the

bright

blue

sky,with

their

flying,

as

if

they

are

about

to

And

here

another

Move

where

you

it

in

The

Apsaras

are

holding

lotuses,

playing

musical

instruments,

dancing

and

throwing

flowers.我們看這幅壁畫，上面畫的是飛天在蔚藍(lán)的天空中飛行，他們帔巾飄飄，好像要飛下來(lái)迎接我們。再看這幅，請(qǐng)走到這里，你可以看到更多細(xì)節(jié)。你可以看到飛天手捧蓮花、演奏樂(lè)器、跳舞、拋花。教材原文教材譯文The

painting

of

Apsaras

reached

a

peak

during

the

Tang

Dynasty;

these

images

are

full

of

life,

reflecting

the

confidence

and

optimism

of

people

from

that

time.飛天壁畫在唐朝達(dá)到了頂峰;這些圖案栩栩如生，反映了當(dāng)時(shí)人們的自信、樂(lè)觀。教材原文教材譯文

Now,

something

extraordinary

happened

in

when

a

sealed

cave,

now

known

as

the

famous

Library

Cave,

were

hidden

thousands

of

manuscripts,

paintings

and

scrolls,

as

well

as

silk

embroideries.

We'll

have

a

chance

to

see

some

of

them

shortly—the

Library

Cave

is

only

a

stone's

throw

from

here.

Dating

from

405

AD

to

1002

AD,在一個(gè)封閉的洞窟，也就是現(xiàn)在著名的藏經(jīng)洞中，藏了成千上萬(wàn)的手稿、繪畫、卷軸以及絲綢刺繡。藏經(jīng)洞離這里很近，我們很快將有機(jī)會(huì)觀看其中的一些展品。這些隱藏的寶藏可追溯到公元405年至公元1002年間，教材原文教材譯文these

hidden

treasures

give

us

a

picture

of

Dunhuang

when

it

was

at

the

very

centre

of

the

Silk

Road

trade.

Thanks

to

this

ancient

library,

we

now

know

that

goods

arrived

in

Dunhuang

from

as

far

away

as

North-east

Europe,

and

that

goods

were

also

exported

from

Dunhuang

across

Asia

and

Europe.為我們展現(xiàn)了敦煌作為絲綢之路貿(mào)易中心時(shí)的畫面。多虧這個(gè)古老的圖書館，我們才得以了解當(dāng)時(shí)的情況:貨物從遙遠(yuǎn)的歐洲東北部抵達(dá)敦煌,也從敦煌出口到亞洲和歐洲各地。這些卷軸內(nèi)容非常詳細(xì)，教材原文教材譯文The

scrolls

are

so

detailed

that

they

describe

the

vast

range

of

goods

that

were

imported

and

exported

from

Dunhuang,

such

as

ceramics,

medicine,

perfumes

and

fruit,

to

name

just

a

few.

The

scrolls

also

reveal

how

many

different

communities

lived

side-by-side

within

this

great

city.

However,

the

reason

why

the

Library

Cave

was

sealed

up

all

those

years

ago

remains

a

mystery.描述了敦煌進(jìn)出口的各種商品，例如陶瓷、藥品、香料和水果，這僅是舉幾個(gè)例子。這些卷軸還展示了許多不同的群體是如何共同生活在這座名城中的。然而，為什么藏經(jīng)洞在多年以前被密封起來(lái)至今仍是個(gè)謎。教材原文教材譯文

In

the

Ming

Dynasty,

trade

routes

changed

and

Dunhuang

was

not

as

prosperous

as

it

used

to

be.

Gradually,

it

faded

from

memory,

even

though

it

was

once

such

a

great

city.明代，貿(mào)易路線發(fā)生了變化，敦煌也不像以前那樣繁華。盡管敦煌曾經(jīng)是一個(gè)如此繁華的城市，但它還是漸漸淡出了人們的記憶。教材原文教材譯文
