问题     丝绸之路(the Silk Road)可以追溯到公元前2世纪,当时一名中国使者(envoy)张骞沿着这条连接亚欧两大洲的贸易通道踏上出使西域之旅。它源于今日的西安,穿越河西走廊、塔里木盆地(the Tarim Basin)以及西亚港口国,最后抵达地中海的东岸,全程7千公里。中国通过这条通道给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。同时也从国外引进了佛教(Buddhism)、伊斯兰教(Islam),以及葡萄、玻璃等产品。因为著名的中国丝绸是沿着这条道路进入西方国家的,所以欧洲学者将它称作“丝绸之路”。

选项

答案 The Silk Road dates back to the second century B.C. when a Chinese envoy Zhang Qian embarked on his trip to western countries following the trade route linking Asia and Europe. Originating from the present-day Xi’an, the 7,000-kilometer route stretched across the Hexi Corridor, the Tarim Basin and the port countries of West Asia, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. China brought its silk cloth, gunpowder, papermaking and printing techniques to the West via this road. Meanwhile Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, glass and other products were also introduced from the outside world into China. Because the famous China’s silk reached the West via this road, European scholars came to call it the "Silk Road".
