[口语天天练之丝绸之路]

2000多年前，汉武帝派遣张骞出使西域，开辟一条横贯东西、连接欧亚的丝绸之路。大漠孤烟，驼铃古道，从此中西方之间的交通正式开通，揭开了延续一千多年的丝绸之路发展和兴盛的序幕。丝绸之路英文怎么说？它的起源和鼎盛期都在什么时候呢？快来一起学学吧：

1. The Silk Road, or Silk Route, is a series of trade and cultural transmission routes that were central to cultural interaction through regions of the Asian continent connecting the West and East by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads, and urban dwellers from China and India to the Mediterranean Sea during various periods of time.

丝绸之路是一系列的贸易和文化传播路线。在各个时期，通过贸易商、商人、朝圣者、僧侣、士兵、牧民和城市居民及亚洲大陆地区连接东西方，这里成为了文化交流的中心。来自中国、印度的人们可以由此到达地中海。

马上学：丝绸之路说法有两种：Silk Road或Silk Route。

2. Xi'an is the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road.

西安是古代丝绸之路东方的起点。

3. The Silk Road started in the Han dynasty, but saw its peak years during the Tang dynasty, around the 7th century AD when Xi'an was also the country's capital.

丝绸之路起源于汉代，约于公元7世纪的唐代达到其鼎盛期。西安是当时的都城。

4. An active trade route from 200 BC, the Silk Road thrived until the 16th century when it was overtaken by the advent of a sea route between China and Europe.

作为公元前200年兴起的一条活跃贸易路线，直至公元16世纪，丝绸之路都很繁荣。而后，中欧间海上路线的出现将其取代。
