周幽王烽火戏诸侯英文全文翻译？

Weeks you king fireworks show governors.

烽火戏诸侯，指西周末年的历史事件。周幽王为博褒姒（bāo sì）一笑，点燃了烽火台，戏弄了诸侯。褒姒看了果然哈哈大笑。幽王很高兴，因而又多次点燃烽火。

导致诸侯们都不相信烽火，也就渐渐不来了。后来犬戎攻破镐京，杀死幽王。幽王的儿子周平王东迁，开始了东周时期。

烽火台上白天冒着浓烟，夜里火光烛天，可就是没有一个救兵到来。使得周幽王叫苦不迭。镐京守兵本就怨恨周幽王昏庸，不满将领经常克扣粮饷，这时也都不愿效命。

犬戎兵一到，便勉强招架了一阵以后，一哄而散，犬戎兵马蜂拥入城，周幽王带着褒姒、伯服，仓皇从后门逃出，奔往骊山。

途中，他再次命令点燃烽火。烽烟虽直透九霄，还是不见诸侯救兵前来。犬戎兵紧紧追逼，周幽王的左右在一路上也纷纷逃散，只剩下一百余人逃进了骊宫。

周幽王采纳臣下的意见，命令放火焚烧前宫门，以迷惑犬戎兵，自己则从后宫门逃走。逃不多远，犬戎兵又追了上来，一阵乱杀，只剩下周幽王、褒姒和伯服三人。

Jamestown

The first of the British colonies to take hold in North America was Jamestown. On the basis of a charter which King James I granted to the Virginia (or London) Company, a group of about 100 men set out for the Chesapeake Bay in 1607. Seeking to avoid conflict with the Spanish, they chose a site about 60 kilometers up the James River from the bay.

Made up of townsmen and adventurers more interested in finding gold than farming, the group was unequipped by temperament or ability to embark upon a completely new life in the wilderness. Among them, Captain John Smith emerged as the dominant figure. Despite quarrels, starvation and Indian attacks, his ability to enforce discipline held the little colony together through its first year.

In 1609 Smith returned to England, and in his absence, the colony descended into anarchy. During the winter of 1609-1610, the majority of the colonists succumbed to disease. Only 60 of the original 300 settlers were still alive by May 1610. That same year, the town of Henrico (now Richmond) was established farther up the James River.

It was not long, however, before a development occurred that revolutionized Virginia's economy. In 1612 John Rolfe began cross-breeding imported tobacco seed from the West Indies with native plants and produced a new variety that was pleasing to European taste. The first shipment of this tobacco reached London in 1614. Within a decade it had become Virginia's chief source of revenue.

Prosperity did not come quickly, however, and the death rate from disease and Indian attacks remained extraordinarily high. Between 1607 and 1624 approximately 14,000 people migrated to the colony, yet only 1,132 were living there in 1624. On recommendation of a royal commission, the king dissolved the Virginia Company, and made it a royal colony that year.
