纺织技术是如何传到外国的
The Chinese learned to weave the thread into cloth. For 2 000 years they were the only people who knew how to make silk. Later,silk cloth was brought to Asia and Europe, it was called “The Cloth of Kings. ”
中国人学会了织布。2000年以来,他们是唯一知道如何做丝绸的人。后来,丝绸被带到了亚洲和欧洲,它被称为“布中之王”。
Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but they kept the secret carefully guarded.
每个人都想了解如何制作丝绸,但他们一直小心保护这个秘密。
Finally the secret was stolen. In the sixth century,two monks learned about the silkworms and their cocoon. They spent several years in China and found a way to take some silkworm eggs out of the country. One day they hid some eggs in the canes and walked out of China with them. It is said that the development of the silk industry in other countries came from those few eggs which the monks had carried out of China.
最后的秘密被窃取。在第六世纪,两个和尚学会了养蚕。他们在中国花了几年时间并找到了把蚕种带出中国的方法。有一天,他们在手杖中藏了一些蚕卵,走出了中国。据说,来自中国的这几个蚕卵使丝绸行业在其他国家的发展。
