故事发生在1493年2月25日的一次晚宴上，哥伦布在场。宴会期间，有人质疑哥伦布发现新大陆的成就，认为航海到美洲并非难事。哥伦布听后没有直接反驳，而是提议在座的每个人尝试将一个鸡蛋竖立在桌面上。众人纷纷尝试，但都未能成功。这时，哥伦布拿起鸡蛋，并将其一端轻轻敲碎，使得鸡蛋能够稳定地站立起来。他反问大家：“现在你们明白了吗？一旦有人展示了方法，剩下的就变得简单了。”这个故事后来被称为“哥伦布之蛋”，用来形容那些看似简单，但在未有人展示方法前难以实现的事情。
“哥伦布之蛋”（Columbus’s egg）的典故源自意大利历史学家保罗·巴尔博的著作《关于发现美洲岛屿的对话》。

Welcome to this lecture, everyone. Today we’re going to talk about
these explorer Zhang Qian and the Silk Road.
Zhang Qian was a pioneer in setting up the Silk Road. He was an official in the Han Dynasty. At that time, China knew little about the lands in the far West. The emperor sent Zhang Qian to explore and open routes to the outside world. Zhang Qian travelled to many countries and made useful reports on the people and cultures there. His journeys helped lead to the development of the Silk Road.
The Silk Road got its name from the Chinese silk trade. It was started over 2,000 years ago. Although it was called a “road”, the Silk Road was actually many different routes, both on land and by sea. These routes spread from East, South and West Asia to North and North-East Africa as well as Europe. They allowed people to carry goods between countries, and helped spread knowledge and ideas across the world. The Silk Road was important in the development of countries such as China, India and Egypt.
