The noisy chatter of apes from the shores followed us all the way,两岸猿声啼不住,Lightly, our boat skipped past ten thousand green mountains high.轻舟已过万重山。

Truly these southlands boast unrivalled scenery,正是江南好风景,to see you once again when the flowers are falling.落花时节又逢君。
Section_ⅠIntroduction & Reading —Prereading[原文呈现]The Golden Age of Chinese Poetry①The Tang Dynasty②(618~907) was one of the great dynasties in Chinese history. It was a time③ of e xpansion④. At its high point, the country reached as far as⑤Siberia (now part of Russia) in the north, Korea in the east and Vietnam in the south. The Tang rulers also controlled the trade route known as the Silk Road⑥ well into presentday⑦ Afghanistan.Trade with foreign countries created a tolerant⑧ and cosmopolitan⑨ culture. Persians⑩,Arabs⑪ and Jews⑫ came to live in Chinese towns, bringing with them their own religions and customs⑬. They were allowed to live in communities governed by their own laws⑭, and to keep their traditional forms of entertainment such as music and dance, which influenced⑮ the development of Tang culture⑯. But perhaps the biggest foreign influence came from Buddhism⑰,whose origins were in India⑱. At the same time⑲ foreigners who were educated at the Tang court⑳ took the Chinese culture21 home with them. Soon Japan and Korea were organised on the Tang model, while○Chinese influence extended throughout Southeast Asia.[读文清障]①poetry n.[U][总称]诗歌,诗篇poem n.[C]诗,诗歌poet n.[C]诗人②dynasty/'dInəsti/n.朝;代③time n.历史时期,时代④expansion/Ik'spænʃn/n.扩张expand v.扩大,增加⑤as far as 远到⑥known as the Silk Roa d是过去分词短语作定语。

○中国诗歌的黄金时代[第1~2段译文]唐朝(618~907)是中国历史上最繁盛的朝代之一。
这是一个疆域扩张的时期。
最鼎盛的时候,唐朝的疆域北至西伯利亚(现属俄罗斯),东至当时的朝鲜,南到越南。
唐朝统治者还控制着远至现今阿富汗的贸易线路——丝绸之路。
与外国人之间的贸易促成了宽容和包罗万象的文化。
波斯人、阿拉伯人和犹太人来到唐朝定居,带来了他们自己的宗教信仰和风俗习惯。
他们被允许居住在由他们自己的法律掌管的区域,保持着他们自己的传统娱乐项目,比如音乐以及舞蹈,这些也对唐朝文化的发展产生了影响。
但是或许影响最为深远的外来文化是起源于印度的佛教。
同时在唐朝宫廷受过教育的外国人将中国文化带回了自己的国家。
不久,日本和朝鲜参照了唐朝的统治形式,唐朝的影响传遍了东南亚。
Cultural development went hand in hand ○22 with technological progress ○23. Newdiscoveries were made in astronomy ○24, geography and medicine. In 724 Seng Yixing measured ○25 the length of the sun's shadow ○26 and the altitude ○27 of the North Pole. Under Emperor Taizong (627~649) the government opened medical schools wherespecialist ○28 subjects were studied ○29. The invention of printing about this time meant that knowledge could be recorded and shared ○30 as never before. But it was not just scientific knowledge that could now reach a wider audience ○31. Printing also marked ○32 the beginning of the golden age of literature — and literature, in the Tang Dynasty, meant poetry.In the beauty of its images ○33 and the range of topics, Tang poetry was better than everything that had come before it ○34. But how did this happen? There is no singleanswer to ○35 the question. An explosion of talent, and the appearance of new forms were both important. In the“New Style Verse” which appeared during the Tangperiod ○36, each line has five or seven syllables ○37, and there are lots of rules which govern ○38 the tones ○39. But being able to write poetry was also an important qualification for people who wanted to become government officials ○40. A good poet had a better chance ○41 of getting a good job. So lots of people became interested in ○42 poetry. ○22hand in hand 联合地,手拉手地 ○23progress n .&v .进展,发展,前进,进行 ○24astronomy /ə'str ɒn əmi/n .天文学 ○25measure v .&n .测量,量;尺寸,措施 make ... to one's measure 依照某人的尺寸做;定做take some measures to do 采取措施做○26shadow /'ʃæd əʊ/n .影子,阴影○27altitude /'ælt I ˌtju ːd/n .高度;海拔 at an altitude of 在……的高度○28specialist /'spe ʃəlIst/n .专家○29where ... studied 是定语从句,修饰medical schools 。
