【正文】 紹興河道密布、湖泊眾多，向以“水鄉(xiāng)澤國(guó)”聞名。 紹興有一萬(wàn)多座橋。在這許多橋梁中，古橋所占比例很大，到處都有。在河面上，每隔一段就有一座石橋，船在橋下往來(lái)穿梭。這些橋不僅便利了人們的生活，也美化了他們的生活環(huán)境。 紹興古橋中最有名的要數(shù)“八字橋”。 該橋形如八字，因而得名。它坐落于八字橋歷史街區(qū)，始建于南宋，公元1256年，是一座有著八百年歷史的石橋。在橋邊，你可以體驗(yàn)真正的水鄉(xiāng)人的生活。你會(huì)看到女人們?cè)诤舆吽⑾匆路?，小販們吆喝瓜果蔬菜，老人們扇著煤爐做飯。許多古橋的石柱上雕有石獅。在中國(guó)古代的習(xí)俗中，石獅據(jù)說(shuō)可以嚇退水怪，使它們不敢再發(fā)洪水。以前，人們信奉橋神。每逢過(guò)年，一些年長(zhǎng)的女人就帶著蠟燭和紙錢來(lái)到橋邊求神保佑。這些古老的習(xí)俗現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在了。然而過(guò)節(jié)時(shí)，人們?nèi)詴?huì)用彩旗和燈籠把橋裝扮起來(lái)。Notes 注釋widely [39。waidli] 廣泛地 vendor [39。vend ?:] 小販numerous [39。nju:m?r?s] 為數(shù)眾多的 the elderly 老人coal stove 煤爐decorate [39。dek?reit] 裝飾stone lion 石獅span [sp230。n] 跨越 column [39。k?l?m] 柱子convenient [k?n39。vi:nj?nt] 方便的 custom [39。k?st?m] 風(fēng)俗environment [in39。vai?r?nm?nt] 環(huán)境 frighten away 嚇跑monster [39。m?nst?] 怪物character [39。k230。rikt?] 字 God of Bridges 橋神Bazi Bridge Historic Block 八字橋歷史街區(qū) disappear [,dis?39。pi?] 消失the South Song Dynasty 南宋 festival [39。fest?v?l] 節(jié)日experience [iks39。pi?ri?ns] 經(jīng)歷，體驗(yàn) colorful flag 彩旗lifestyle [39。laifstail] 生活方式 lantern [39。l230。nt?n] 燈籠Lesson 6 Making Apologies道歉核心句型Sentence Patterns*1Sorry.

It is not only a tool of cultural munication but an artistic treasure with shining and extraordinary splendor. To learn more about China’s culture and calligraphy, a place one should not miss is the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. The Orchid Pavilion is located at the foot of Lanzhu Hill, km southwest of Shaoxing City. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Goujian, the king of the Yue Kingdom, planted orchids here, hence the name. In the spring of 353 during the East Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, the most famous calligrapher, invited his friends to write poems and wrote preface for them, which is known as Lanting Xu, or Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion.Since Lanting Xu was unveiled to the world, Shaoxing has been widely known as the “hometown of calligraphy”, and the Orchid Pavilion bees the famous “Holy Land of Calligraphy” which attracts tourists from all around the world. The Orchid Pavilion Calligraphy Festival is an annual special occasion for calligraphers both from home and abroad to exchange their ideas and practice calligraphy. During the festival, many calligraphers gather at the Orchid Pavilion, admiring the works written by Wang Xizhi, posing poems, and drinking wine from wine cups floating on a winding stream as Wang Xizhi and his friends did 17 hundred years ago. Performances themed on calligraphy are also provided to entertain festival attendees.書(shū)法之鄉(xiāng)書(shū)法是中國(guó)四大國(guó)粹之一，在封建社會(huì)曾是用來(lái)衡量文人水平的重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。現(xiàn)今不僅在國(guó)內(nèi)普及，在世界藝術(shù)中也可謂一枝獨(dú)秀。它不僅僅是一種文化交流的工具，更是一筆燦爛奪目的文化財(cái)富。說(shuō)到學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)文化和中國(guó)書(shū)法，便不得不提浙江紹興的蘭亭。據(jù)傳，春秋時(shí)，越王勾踐種蘭于此，因而得名。東晉353年春天，著名書(shū)法家王羲之在這里會(huì)友作詩(shī)，并為他們的詩(shī)做序，即聞名于世的《蘭亭集序》。自《蘭亭集序》問(wèn)世以后，紹興一直以“書(shū)法之鄉(xiāng)”著稱。蘭亭也成了蜚聲中外的“書(shū)法圣地”，吸引著世界各地的游客。每年的蘭亭書(shū)法節(jié)都是一次特殊的盛會(huì)，國(guó)內(nèi)外的書(shū)法家們?cè)谶@里交流各自想法，切磋書(shū)法藝術(shù)。每到書(shū)法節(jié)，各地的書(shū)法家們紛紛聚集于此來(lái)欣賞書(shū)圣王羲之的作品，賦詩(shī)飲酒，重溫1700年前那曲水流觴的雅事。在書(shū)法節(jié)上，人們還能欣賞到以書(shū)法為主題的各類節(jié)目。Notes注釋calligraphy [k?39。ligr?fi] 書(shū)法traditional [tr?39。di∫?n(?)l] 傳統(tǒng)的critical [39。kritik?l] standard [39。st230。nd?d]衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)literati [.lit?39。rɑ:ti:, 39。reitai] 文人the imperial [im39。pi?ri?l] era [39。i?r?] 封建時(shí)代prevail [pri39。veil] 流行 盛行a unique [ju:39。ni:k] branch [brɑ:nt∫] of art 一種獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)cultural [39。k?lt∫?r(?)l] munication [:ni39。kei∫n] 文化交流artistic [ɑ:39。tistik] treasure [39。tre??] 藝術(shù)財(cái)富extraordinary [iks39。tr?:dnri, iks39。tr?:din?ri] 非同尋常的splendor [39。splend?] 光輝, 壯麗Orchid [39。?:kid] Pavilion [p?39。vilj?n] 蘭亭the Spring and Autumn Period [39。pi?ri?d] 春秋戰(zhàn)國(guó)時(shí)期the Yue Kingdom [39。ki?d?m] 越國(guó)the East Jin Dynasty [39。dain?sti] 東晉calligrapher [k?39。ligr?f?(r)] 書(shū)法家preface [39。prefis] 序“hometown of calligraphy” 書(shū)法之鄉(xiāng)“Holy Land of Calligraphy” 書(shū)法圣地The Orchid Pavilion Calligraphy Festival [39。fest?v?l] 蘭亭書(shū)法節(jié)annual [39。230。nju?l] 每年的special [39。spe∫?l] occasion [?39。kei??n] 特殊的盛會(huì)from home and abroad [?39。br?:d] 國(guó)內(nèi)外的admire [?d39。mai?] 欣賞pose [k?m39。p?uz] poems [39。p?uim, 39。p?uem] 賦詩(shī)wine cups floating [39。fl?uti?] on a winding [39。waindi?] stream [stri:m] 曲水流觴performance [p?39。f?:m?ns] 表演、節(jié)目theme [θi:m] 主題entertain [.ent?39。tein] 款待attendee [?39。tendi:] 參加者province [?pr?vins] 省份be titled as 被稱為organic [?: ?ɡ230。nik] （有機(jī)物的）food 綠色食品boast [b?ust] 有（引以為榮的事情）base [beis] 基地household [?haush?uld] 家庭的，家用的silvery [?silv?ri] 銀色的sprout [spraut] 新芽，嫩芽superb [sju: ?p?:b] 極好的，杰出的quality [?kw?liti] 質(zhì)量delicate [?delikit] 纖細(xì)的elegant [?eliɡ?nt] 優(yōu)雅的advanced processing [?pr?uses] 加工，處理excellent [?eks?l?n
