Once, the Han Dynasty dispatched an emissary to the State of Dian (now Yunnan Province) and the State of Yelang (now Guizhou Province).

一次，漢朝派遣使者出使滇國(guó)(今云南)和夜郎國(guó)(今貴州)。

The King of Dian asked the emissary from the Han Dynasty: "The Han Dynasty and the State of Dian, which is bigger?"

滇國(guó)的國(guó)王問(wèn)漢朝的使者: “漢朝和滇國(guó)，哪一個(gè)大?”

The King of Yelang also asked the emissary in the same way: "The Han Dynasty and the State of Yelang, which is bigger?"

夜郎國(guó)的國(guó)王也這樣問(wèn)漢朝的使者: “漢朝和夜郎國(guó)，哪一個(gè)人?”

As a matter of fact, the territories of the State of Dian and the State of Yelang were only as big as a prefecture of the Han Dynasty, but they closed their states to the external contact, shut their eyes and stopped their ears, and didn't understand the conditions of the outside world.

其實(shí)，滇國(guó)和夜郎國(guó)的疆土，只有漢朝的一個(gè)州那么大，可是他們閉關(guān)自守，閉目塞聽(tīng)，不了解外界的情況。

Naturally, they didn't know how vast the Han Dynasty was.

自然也就不知道漢朝的廣大了。
