Over the past 30 years, I've had the privilege of traveling to a very different Asia. Whenever I think back on my visits, it's as if a movie reel of images, old and new, were running through my head. I think of the elegant temples of Kyoto, or the rituals of nomadic life outside Ulaanbaatar, the intricate handwork of traditional craftspeople in Chiang Rai, the vibrant markets of Hanoi, Hong Kong, and Dhaka; the grand hotels of Singapore and Manila, the calligraphers practicing their art in Xi'an, the historic dress of Seoul and the traditional dances of Jakarta, or the strum of the sitar in New Delhi.
在過(guò)去的30年間，我有幸前往一個(gè)十分不同的亞洲旅行。每當(dāng)我回憶起那些訪問(wèn)，就好像一卷新舊圖像交錯(cuò)的電影膠片在頭腦中閃過(guò)。我想起[日本]京都典雅的寺廟、[蒙古]烏蘭巴托郊外的游牧生活、[泰國(guó)]清萊省傳統(tǒng)藝人制作的精美工藝品、[越南]河內(nèi)、香港和[孟加拉國(guó)]達(dá)卡熙熙攘攘的市場(chǎng)、新加坡與馬尼拉的豪華酒店、[中國(guó)]西安練藝的書(shū)法家、[韓國(guó)]首爾的古典服裝和[印尼]雅加達(dá)的傳統(tǒng)舞蹈、[印度] 新德里撥響的錫塔琴。 ritual 儀式；慣例；禮制 nomadic adj. 游牧的；流浪的；游動(dòng)的 intricate adj. 復(fù)雜的；錯(cuò)綜的，纏結(jié)的 vibrant adj. 振動(dòng)的；充滿生氣的，活力的
