紡織技術是如何傳到外國的

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. ”

中國人學會了織布。2000年以來，他們是唯一知道如何做絲綢的人。後來，絲綢被帶到了亞洲和歐洲，它被稱爲“布中之王”。

Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but they kept the secret carefully guarded.

每個人都想了解如何製作絲綢，但他們一直小心保護這個祕密。

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.

最後的祕密被竊取。在第六世紀，兩個和尚學會了養蠶。他們在中國花了幾年時間並找到了把蠶種帶出中國的方法。有一天，他們在手杖中藏了一些蠶卵，走出了中國。據說，來自中國的這幾個蠶卵使絲綢行業在其他國家的發展。
