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.

敦煌有七百多个洞窟，现在我们将要参观其中几个著名的洞窟。这些古老的洞窟被称为莫高窟，是一千多年前在岩石上雕刻而成的。教材原文教材译文If

you

the

the

The

Apsaras

are

depicted

sailing

in

the

bright

blue

sky,with

their

scarves

flying,

as

if

they

are

about

to

fly

down

to

meet

us.

And

here

is

another

one.

Move

over

here

where

you

it

in

more

detail.

The

Apsaras

are

holding

lotuses,

playing

musical

instruments,

dancing

and

throwing

flowers.我们看这幅壁画，上面画的是飞天在蔚蓝的天空中飞行，他们帔巾飘飘，好像要飞下来迎接我们。再看这幅，请走到这里，你可以看到更多细节。你可以看到飞天手捧莲花、演奏乐器、跳舞、抛花。教材原文教材译文The

painting

of

a

peak

during

the

Tang

Dynasty;

these

images

are

full

of

life,

reflecting

the

confidence

and

optimism

of

people

from

that

time.飞天壁画在唐朝达到了顶峰;这些图案栩栩如生，反映了当时人们的自信、乐观。教材原文教材译文

Now,

something

really

extraordinary

happened

in

1900,

when

a

Taoist

priest

made

one

of

the

most

important

finds

of

the

20th

century.1900年发生了一件非同寻常的事，一位道士的发现成了二十世纪最重大的发现之一。教材原文教材译文In

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,在一个封闭的洞窟，也就是现在著名的藏经洞中，藏了成千上万的手稿、绘画、卷轴以及丝绸刺绣。藏经洞离这里很近，我们很快将有机会观看其中的一些展品。这些隐藏的宝藏可追溯到公元405年至公元1002年间，教材原文教材译文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.为我们展现了敦煌作为丝绸之路贸易中心时的画面。多亏这个古老的图书馆，我们才得以了解当时的情况:货物从遥远的欧洲东北部抵达敦煌,也从敦煌出口到亚洲和欧洲各地。这些卷轴内容非常详细，教材原文教材译文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.描述了敦煌进出口的各种商品，例如陶瓷、药品、香料和水果，这仅是举几个例子。这些卷轴还展示了许多不同的群体是如何共同生活在这座名城中的。然而，为什么藏经洞在多年以前被密封起来至今仍是个谜。教材原文教材译文

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，贸易路线发生了变化，敦煌也不像以前那样繁华。尽管敦煌曾经是一个如此繁华的城市，但它还是渐渐淡出了人们的记忆。教材原文教材译文

This

century

is

bringing

the

Silk

Road

life

more

Dunhuang

has
