The Story of Silk

明华

The story of silk is a funny one.

About 4,000 years ago the Chinese discovered the secret of the cocoon. No one knows exactly how or when this important discovery was made. One story says that a young princess was drinking tea in her garden and watching silkworms spin cocoons. By chance one dropped into her tea and the hot tea made it soft. When the girl tried to take the cocoon out of her tea, it became separated and she pulled out a long silk thread.

The Chinese learned to weave the silk thread into cloth. For 2,000 years they were the only people who knew how to make silk. The Chinese merchants sold silk cloth throughout Asia and Europe and became rich.Silk was so expensive that it was called “the cloth of kings” .

Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but the Chinese kept the secret carefully guarded①.

Finally the secret was stolen. In the sixth century, two monks learned about the silkworms and their cocoons. They spent several years in China and finaly found a way to take some silkworm eggs out of the country. The monks always carried bamboo canes②. One day they hid some eggs in the hollow 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.

【词语解释】

①kept the secret carefully guarded 严守秘密

②bamboo canes 竹手杖

【写法指要】

这是一篇科技故事,讲的是丝绸的发现和发展的事。全文可分三部分:第一部分说的是某公主偶然发现蚕丝;第二部分是把丝织成丝绸销往各国;第三部分讲两个外国修道士如何卧薪尝胆,想方设法盗窃蚕卵并带出中国。这只是一则流传的故事,但是不管这项技术是如何外传的,正如文章最后所言,世界丝绸工业的发展源自古老文明的中国。
