旁白: 江门有着丰富的温泉资源。
Jiangmen has abundant hot

因此还享有”温泉之乡”的美誉。
For this reason, it is billed

在江门的新会区,
In Jiangmen’s Xinhui District,
有一座古兜温泉谷,
there is the Gudou Hot
Spring Resort,
那里集山、泉、湖、海于一体。
which incorporates mountains, springs,
lake and sea into one organic whole.
被人们称为”温泉王国”。
It is dubbed the Kingdom of
Hot Springs.
韩佳: 快乐学汉语,
Learning Chinese the fun way …
王渊源:万里海疆行!
On the Happy Journey along
the Coast!
大家好,我是快乐的渊源。
Hello there! I’m Happy Yuanyuan.
韩佳: 我是快乐的韩佳。
And I’m Merry Han Jia.
王渊源:哎,韩佳,你说,
Eh, Han Jia, don’t you
think that
咱们这一路上
although we’ve seen quite
a lot of
也看过不少的温泉,
hot springs all the way here,
可是能拥有这样
it is really rare to see
natural scenery
集山、泉、湖、海于一体的自然风光
that incorporates mountains,
springs, lake and sea
还真是不多见。
into one organic whole.
韩佳: 是啊。
Yes.
这古兜温泉呢
The Gudou Hot Spring Resort
位于古兜群山之间,
nestles in the Gudou Mountains,
它的地理位置非常优越。
a very advantageous geographical position.
而且这里的温泉资源呢也相当丰富。
And the hot spring resources
here are also rich.
王渊源:我听说这古兜温泉
I heard the Gudou Hot
Spring Resort
还被称为”广东的华清池”呢。
is dubbed the Huaqing Pool
of Guangdong.
韩佳: 嗯,没错儿。
Yes, exactly.
据专家测定,
According to scientists’ surveys,
这里的泉水呢
the spring water here
属于珍贵的偏硅酸含氡泉,
belongs to the radon-containing
silicate mineral water
它跟古代华清池里的泉水
and falls into the same
category as
属于同一类水质。
the spring water of the ancient
Huaqing Pool.
所以呢,
Therefore,
被人们称为”广东华清池”。
it is dubbed the Huaqing Pool
of Guangdong.
王渊源:据我所知,
To my knowledge,
这氡温泉可是一种保健的神泉。
a radon-containing hot spring is a
type of therapeutic spring water.
我们今天不能错过
Today we mustn’t miss
这个强身健体的大好机会啊。
this great opportunity to make our
bodies strong and healthy.
韩佳: 嗯。
Right.
“强身健体”就是指使身体强壮、健康。
“Qiang shen jian ti” means to make
one’s body strong and healthy.
王渊源:”强身健体”就是指使身体强壮、健康。
So “qiang shen jian ti” means to make
one’s body strong and healthy.
韩佳: 比如说,
For example,
Pào wēnquán kěyǐ qiángshēn jiàntǐ
泡 温泉 可以 强身 健体。
Soaking in hot springs can make one’s
body strong and healthy.
在这古兜温泉谷里,
At the Gudou Hot Spring Resort,
有大大小小的温泉池好几十个。
there are dozens of hot spring
pools, big and small.
所以,我们还是先去了解了解,
So we should first find out
what they are like
然后再泡温泉,怎么样?
before we soak in hot
springs, okay?
王渊源:这个提议不错。
It’s a good idea.
嗬,这里还真不愧是广东华清池。
Ha, it certainly deserves to be called
the Huaqing Pool of Guangdong.
一座唐朝风格的宫殿
A Tang-Dynasty-style palace
赫然出现在我们眼前。
suddenly appears before us.
也许,人们就是想在这里
Perhaps, people built it just
for the purpose
再现那大唐盛世的华清池吧。
of recreating the Huaqing Pool of
the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
韩佳: 你呀还真说对了。
You’re right.
这里呢就是参照
The resort here
中国唐代宫殿的风格修建的。
was modeled on a Tang
Dynasty palace.
王渊源:看起来够气派的啊!
It looks so impressive!
韩佳: 是啊。
Yes.
这里占地面积有两万多平方米。
The resort occupies an area
of 20,000 square meters.
从建筑格局到内部装饰,
Judging from its structural setup
and interior decorations,
都是为了营造中国唐代
the resort was intended
to recreate
华丽而浪漫的氛围,
the splendid and romantic atmosphere
of China’s Tang Dynasty
体现盛唐时期温泉文化的特色。
and exhibit the hot spring culture
of the Tang Dynasty as well.
王渊源:能在这样的环境泡温泉,
It is surely excellent enjoyment
to soak
那可真是绝佳的享受啊!
in the hot springs in such
a fine environment!
韩佳: 没错儿。
Yes, indeed.
这里啊,
Here
不仅在室外有大大小小的温泉池十几个,
there are not only dozens of outdoor
hot spring pools,
而且还有豪华的室内温泉池。
but also indoor hot spring pools
as well.
这样一来呢,
This way,
就给人们提供了多重选择。
people are provided with
more choices.
王渊源:那你说我该选哪一个呢。
Tell me which one I
should choose.
韩佳: 这个嘛
It depends
就要看个人喜好了。
on personal preferences.
萝卜白菜,各有所爱嘛。
Each person has his or her
own preference.
王渊源:这泡温泉
Do hot springs
怎么跟萝卜白菜扯上关系了?
have anything to do turnip
and cabbage?
韩佳: 我刚才说的
Just now I said
“萝卜白菜,各有所爱”呢
“luobo baicai ge you suo ai”,
是一句俗语,
which is a saying
就是用来比喻个人有个人的爱好,
used to express that each person
has his or her own preference
每个人的爱好都不同。
and that personal preferences
are different.
王渊源:”萝卜白菜,各有所爱”是一句俗语,
“Luobo baicai ge you suo ai”
is a saying
就是用来比喻个人有个人的爱好。
used to express that each person
has his or her own preference.
韩佳: 每一个温泉池呢
Each hot spring pool here
都有自己的不同功效和特色。
has its own different efficacy
and special feature.
比如养颜池就有护肤的功效。
For instance, the Skin Care Pool
is good for the skin.
理气池呢
The Inner Energy Regulating Pool
就可以达到调节生理机能的功效。
can help regulate your physiological
functions.
还有鱼疗池,
And the Fish Therapy Pool
它可以去除身体多余的角质等等。
can remove your extra body keratin.
王渊源:我呢可是萝卜白菜全爱。
I love both turnip and cabbage.
我决定每个池子都泡一会儿。
So I decide to soak in every
pool here.
韩佳: 哎,等等。
Hey, wait, wait.
这里除了唐宫之外啊,
In addition to the Tang Palace,
还有两个温泉区呢。
there are also two other
hot spring sections.
你不打算都看一看了?
Don’t you want to take
a look at them?
王渊源:你怎么不早告诉我呀?
Why didn’t you tell me
that sooner?
没想到,
To my surprise,
这古兜温泉
at the Gudou Hot Spring Resort,
还有欧式风格的罗马殿,
there are two other sections, the
European-style Roman Hall
日式风格的东瀛阁两大温泉区。
and the Japanese-style Dongying Hall.
韩佳,咱们今天可是来对了。
Han Jia, it was certainly right
for us to come.
这古兜温泉真不错。
The Gudou hot springs are
very good indeed.
韩佳: 是啊。你知道吗,
Yes. Do you know
这古兜温泉
the Gudou hot springs
还有一个与众不同的特点呢?
have another unique feature?
王渊源:哦 ,什么特点啊?
Oh, what’s the unique feature?
韩佳: 就是在这里。
It’s right here.
有两种不同类型的温泉。
There are two different types
of hot springs here.
王渊源:那都有什么类型呢?
What are the two types of
hot springs?
韩佳: 一个是淡水温泉,
One is freshwater hot springs,
也就是我们刚才说的氡温泉。
which are the radon-containing hot springs
that we mentioned just now.
还有一个是海洋温泉。
And the other is the marine
hot springs.
也就是因为这个原因,
Just for this reason,
所以呢这里还被称为
this resort claims to be
the only place
广东省惟一的双料温泉。
that has two types of hot
springs in Guangdong.
王渊源:一个地方,两种温泉!
One place having two types
of hot springs!
这岂不成了双重的享受嘛?
Isn’t it a kind of double enjoyment?
韩佳: 是啊。刚才我们看到的唐宫呢
Yes. The Tang Palace that
we saw just now
是属于淡水温泉。
belongs to the freshwater
hot spring category.
而这边的东瀛阁和罗马殿呢
And the Dongying Hall and
the Roman Hall
则属于海洋温泉。
belong to the marine hot
spring category.
王渊源:看来这古兜温泉
It seems the Gudou Hot
Spring Resort
可真是一个名副其实的
is worthy of being called
“温泉王国”呀。
the Hot Spring Kingdom.
韩佳: 嗯,没错儿。
Yes, exactly.
那”名副其实”就是指名声或名称
“Ming fu qi shi” means that
the name matches
与实际相符合。
the reality or to be worthy
of the name.
王渊源:”名副其实”就是指名声或名称
So “ming fu qi shi” means that
the name matches
与实际相符合。
the reality or to be worthy
of the name.
韩佳: 那我们来举个例子吧。
Let’s explain with an example.
Zhè li shì ge míngfùqíshí de wēnquán wángguó
这 里 是 个 名副其实 的 温泉 王国。
This place is worthy of being called
a Hot Springs Kingdom.
王渊源:哎,韩佳,
Eh, Han Jia,
我刚才大致地计算了一下,
just now I roughly calculated that
这里一共有四十多个温泉池。
there are altogether more than
40 hot spring pools here.
你要是想把所有的温泉池
If you want to soak
都泡上一遍,
in each of these pools,
那可要花上一整天的时间呢。
it will take a whole day.
韩佳: 嗯,那倒是。
Yes, that’s true.
不过没关系啊。
But that doesn’t matter.
我们虽然不能
Although we can’t
把所有的温泉都泡上一遍,
soak in each of the pools,
但是我们可以把它们都欣赏一遍。
we can at least take a look at
each of them.
王渊源:哎,这也有道理。
Yeah, it sounds reasonable.
赏心悦目:
