Hello, this is Teacher Bear, 我是Bear老師。

小朋友，在上一集當中，我們學了唐詩〈登樂遊原〉，提到了美麗的夕陽(In the last episode, we learned the Tang Dynasty poem " Dēng lè yóu yuán" and mentioned the beautiful sunset)。今天，我們要學另一首唐詩，也提到了夕陽(Today, we will learn another Tang Dynasty poem, which also mentions the sunset)，可是，跟上一首唐詩帶給人的感覺完全不同喔(But if you compare with the previous one, you will feel it’s completely different)。這一首唐詩叫〈登鸛雀樓〉，是詩人王之渙寫的(This Tang Dynasty poem is called " Dēng guàn què lóu", which was written by the poet Wáng Zhīhuàn)。

讓Bear老師來說給你聽(Let me tell you)：

白日依山盡，黃河入海流。欲窮千里目，更上一層樓。

什麼意思呢(What does that mean)？

白日依山盡

意思是：

白色的太陽靠著山邊落了下去。

The white sun was setting against the side of the mountain.

黃河入海流

意思是：

黃河裡的水流到大海裡。The water in the Yellow River flows to the sea.

黃河是中國的一條大河喔。The Yellow River is a big river in China.

欲窮千里目

意思是：

如果你想看到更遠的風景，

If you want to see more distant scenery,

更上一層樓

意思是：

就要再上去更高的一層樓。

you have to go up to a higher level.

小朋友，你有沒有這樣的經驗？那就是，站在很高的地方，看得很遠很遠(Have you ever had such an experience？ that is, standing in a very high place and seeing far away)，那個時候，你有什麼感覺呢(How did you feel at that time)？是不是覺得世界好寬、好大，讓你想到更遠的地方去看看呢(Do you

feel that the world is so wide and big, making you want to explore distant places)？站得越高，就能看得越遠(The higher you stand, the farther you can see)。同樣的，你學習的事情越多，知識就越廣(In the same way, the more things you learn, the wider your knowledge)。如果你要知道得更多，那就要學得更多(If you want to know more, you have to learn more)。

有一句話說：欲知天下事，須讀古今書。意思是，如果你要知道世界上全部的事，就得把從前到現在的書都看過(It means that if you want to know everything in the world, you have to read all the books from the past to the present)。就好像「欲窮千里目，更上一層樓」，如果要看得更遠，就要努力爬得更高(If you want to see farther, you have to work hard to climb higher)。

小朋友，你是不是覺得奇怪，同樣是看到黃昏，為什麼兩位詩人有完全不一樣的想法呢(Do you feel it’s strange that the two poets had completely different ideas when they saw the dusk)？那是因為兩位詩人的成長背景完全不同(That's because the two poets grew up in completely different backgrounds)。寫〈登鸛雀樓〉的詩人王之渙，他生活在一個安定的社會，家庭環境也不錯(He lived in a stable society and had a good family environment)；相反的(On the other hand)，寫〈登樂遊原〉的詩人李商隱，他生活在一個不安定的社會，而且小時候家裡很窮(He lived in an unstable society, and his family was very poor when he was little)。小朋友，如果你想知道為什麼別人的想法跟你不同，那麼，多了解那個人的成長背景，會有幫助喔(If you want to know why other people think differently from you, then it will be helpful to learn more about that person's growth background)。

如果在學習英文方面，你想說「我要更上一層樓」，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？

“I want to take my English to the next level.”

請跟著Bear老師再說一次：

“I want to take my English to the next level.”

現在，我們來複習這首詩(Now, let's review this poem)。

白日依山盡，黃河入海流。欲窮千里目，更上一層樓。

你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。

小朋友，希望Bear老師的故事，能幫助你的語言能力更上一層樓喔(I hope my stories can take your language ability to the next level)。加油(You can do it)！

我們下次見嘍！

See you next time!
