问题     茶马古道(the Ancient Tea Home Road)是中国西南地区一条重要的商贸通道,兴起于唐宋时期。兴盛于明清时期。它源起于云南茶叶主产区普洱市,中间经过今天的大理、丽江、西藏,最后通到尼泊尔(Nepal)和印度。“茶马古道”之所以得名是由于频繁的贸易,用四川、云南的茶叶换取西藏的马匹。它是中国西南地区经济文化交流的通道,也被称作“南方的丝绸之路”。现在,它已经变成世界上自然风光最壮观、文化最神秘的旅游线路。

选项

答案     The Ancient Tea Horse Road was an important trade route in the southwest part of China. It emerged in Tang and Song Dynasties and prospered in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The road started from Pu’er city, the major tea production site in Yunnan, passed through the present Dali, Lijiang and Tibet and finally ended at Nepal and India. The road earned the name Tea Horse Road due to the frequent business activities in which tea from Sichuan and Yunnan was traded for Tibetan horses. As a passage for economic and cultural communication in the southwest part of China, the Ancient Tea Horse Road is also referred to as the "Southern Silk Road". Nowadays, it has become a traveling route with the most spectacular natural scenery and mysterious culture in the world.
