The rocks of the hills, taken and shaped by hard work,
Are made to soar forward from the sling of a machine;
Through wind and clouds they ride upon their way,
Like meteors, they thunder through space .
—Unknown Chinese poet, 1300
In the days before gunpowder was invented, ancient military commanders used large, powerful throwing machinesto help them lay siege to castles and forts. Warring countries would often invade each other with the aim of taking land,riches, and treasure from their neighbors. To prevent attackers from invading them and causing trouble, rulers raised armies ,trained warriors, and, most important, built forts and castles forprotection.
说明:要回译的是斜体字部分,其他部分只是提供背景,帮助理解。
