  本期主题【古代印刷术】

  Before printing was invented,a scholar had to copycharacters one by one if he wanted to publish a newbook.During the Northern Song Dynasty, Bi Shenginvented the movable-type printing after many yearsof experimentation.He engraved the characters onsmall pieces of clay,and heated them until they became hard movable characters.When printinga book,people placed the moveable characters in order into a whole block and then ran off aprint.After printing, they took the block apart and reused the characters later.This method wasboth economical and time-saving.China's movable-type printing first spread eastward intoKorea and Japan,then westward into Persia and Egypt,and at last,around the world.Theinvention of movable-type printing greatly promoted the cultural exchanges among countriesall over the world.

  参考翻译:

  印刷术发明之前,想出版新书的学者必须一字一字地抄写。北宋时期,经过多年的实验,毕昇发明了活字印刷术(movable-type printing)。他把汉字刻在一小块泥胚(pieces of clay)上,加热汉字直到其变成硬的活字。印书时,人们按顺序将活字摆在一起,印出印迹。印刷完后,他们把字分开,以后重复使用。这种方法既经济又省时。中国的活字印刷术首先向东传至朝鲜和日本,之后向西传至波斯(Persia)和埃及,最后传遍全球。活字印刷术的发明大大促进了世界各国的文化交流。
