대학영어UNIT6 Marco Polo◎The Travels of Marco Polo마르코 폴로의 여행Marco Polo(1254-1324) was born in Venice, Italy. His father, Niccolo Polo, was a businessman, so Marco was educated in business skills, as well as foreign languages.마르코 폴로(1252-1324)는 이탈리아 베니스에서 태어났다. 그의 아버지인 니콜로 폴로는 상인이였다, 그래서 마르코는 외국어뿐만 아니라 상업기술도 배우게 되었다.-1단락은 마르코폴로의 고향과 그의 아버지가 상인이여서 상업기술을 배울 수 있었다는 내용이다.Niccolo Polo and his brother, Marco's uncle Maffeo, made their money by traveling great distances to buy and sell goods. Their first Eastern journey was made in 1260, when Marco was still too young to go with them. From Venice, they traveled to the great city of Constantinople near the Black Sea, and from there made their way across parts of Russia to China, which was then ruled by Emperor Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan. In Beijing, the Emperor was delighted to meet them and hear their stories of faraway lands. After giving them expensive gifts, he sent them back to Europe with messages of peace for the Pope in Rome and 언어를 쉽게 익혔다.-3단락은 마르코가 베이징에서 그곳 황제에게 깊은 인상을 주고 그곳에서 중국방언과 몽골 언어를 익혔다는 내용이다.For seventeen years, the Polos remained in China and rose to posts of great responsibility, for example, desinging catapults to win the siege of Xianyang. Marco was appointed a government official in the city of Yangzhou for three years and undertook dangerous journeys for Kublai Khan throughout China and as far as Burma and India. His favorite place in China was the city of Hangzhou, famous for its canals like a Venice of the East. But finally, the Polos decided it was time to leave before the old Emperor died. Kublai Khan was sorry to see them go but let them travel with one last duty on their way home: to deliver a princess to her new husband in persia.17년 동안, 폴로들은 계속 중국에 있으면서 큰 책임감이 있는 지위에 오르다, 예를들어, 센양을 포위하여 승리할 투석기를 설계하는. 마르코는 3년동안 양저우시의 정부관리로 인정 받았고 중국 전역과 미얀마와 인도에 이르기까지 쿠발라 칸을 위해 위험한 여행을 착수했다. 그가 중국에서 가장 좋아하는 장소는 항저우 도시 였다, 동방의 베니스 라고 할 만큼 유명한 운하가있는. 그러나 마침내, 폴로들은 늙은 황제가 죽기전에 떠나기로 결심했다. 쿠바발라 칸은 그들이 가는걸 보g is true or that someone else is right*I am willing to admit that I do make mistakes2. appoint(verb) to choose someone for a position or a job*President Kim is expected to appoint a senior lawmaker to be prime minister.3. catapult(noun) a large weapon used in former times to throw heavy stones, iron balls, eat.*He was catapulted into the side of the van4. impress(verb) to make someone feel admiration and respect*The Grand Canyon never fails to impress5. imprison(verb) to put someone in prison or to keep them somewhere and prevent them from leaving.*He had his political enemies imprisoned.6. romance(noun) a story about the love between two people .*This is also confirmed by the strong element of misogyny in the romance.7. sew(verb) to use a needle and thread to make or repair clothes or to fasten something such as a button to them.*It's impossible to sew if there are knots in the thread.8. distances(noun) between two points or places is the amount of space between them.*It's difficult 여행기가 유럽 전역에 인기있는 도서이고 많은 영향력을 가졌다는 내용이다.From the time of its first publication, it was enormously influential. Other explorers and businessmen were inspired to take up dangerous journeys, philosophers and scholars debated life in distant china, and map makers started to redraw the world.처음 그 책이 출판된 시간부터, 그 책은 엄청나게 영향력이 있었다. 다른 탐험가들과 사업가들은 위한한 여행을 시작하도록 고무되어있었고, 철학자들과 학자들은 먼 중국에서의 삶에 대해 토론했으며, 지도 제작자들은 세계를 다시 그리기 시작했다.-2문단은 마르코의 여행기가 여러 방면으로 영향을 주었다는 내용이다.There was only one problem: it was almost all lies. Even at the time it was published, the books was called Il Milione, or The Million, short for a million lies. similarly, people called Marco polo Marco Milione. At the time, these criticisms were understandable, because descriptions of life in a place as different as China would have been amazing to anyone in Europe. But more recently, people have examined the stories in the book one by one and compared them to known facts. For example, and obvious error was the siege of Xianyang, wh 변형시키고 자라지 못하게 하기 위해 하는 것을 언급하지 않았다. 훨씬 더 흔한 것은 유럽에서는 아주 새로웠을 차를 마시는 중국의 풍습이었다. 또한 마르코 폴로는 그가 매일 보았을 것이고 심지어 그 자신도 익숙했을 중국의 미술인 서예조차 언급하지 않았다.-5문단은 마르코 폴로가 생략한 것들에 대해서 말하고 있는 내용이다.But the major doubts about Marco Polo's accounts if his travels come from comparing what he said the Chinese historical records. Despite supposedly being a friend of the Emperor, his name and the names of his father and uncle are never mentioned in the Annals of the Empire, in the detailed records of the city of Yangzhou where Marco Polo was supposedly an important official, or anywhere else in Chinese records.그러나 마르코 폴로는 여행 기술에 대한 중요한 의심들은 그를 언급하는 중국의 역사적 기록들과 비교하는 데서 생긴다. 아마 황제의 친구임에도 불구하고, 그의 이름과 아버지, 삼촌의 이름은 Annals of the Empire , 양저우 도시에 대한 상세한 기록에는 마르코 폴로가 중요한 관리로 있었던 것 같은데 전혀 언급되지 않으며, 중국 어느 곳의 기록에도 전혀 나와 있지 않다.- 6문단은 마르코 폴로가 중국 어느 기록에도 나와 있지 않다는 내용이다.Then there are his descriptions of things places in china.
