Segment 15A, Introduction.
15A部分 簡介
The Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire as it is often known was more than just a continuation of the Roman Empire.
東羅馬帝國或者人們常說的拜占庭帝國，絕不僅僅是羅馬帝國統治的延續。
To the people themselves it literally was the Roman Empire right down to the name the people used for themselves, Romaioi.

the Byzantine settled down into their Greek speaking version of the Roman Empire.
拜占庭帝國就以它希臘語的名字立足了下來。
As East and West grew further apart, so did the Eastern and Western Christian Churches, which finally broke off all ties in 1054 AD.
東西方的基督教堂也開始分化，直到公元1054年完全分裂。隨著東西方帝國分裂的深入，
After centuries of battle with Turks, Slavs, Persians and even crusading Christians from Europe, the Byzantine Empire also declined and fell
在和土耳其、斯拉夫人、波斯人甚至歐洲十字軍斗爭了幾個世紀以后，拜占庭帝國也漸漸沒落衰敗，
but not before leaving behind its own cultural legacy, the Renaissance in the west and in the East in Russia.
但在滅亡前，它也留下了自己的文化遺產——即西方以及東方的俄羅斯興起的文藝復興。
