大宛闻汉之饶财，欲通不得，见骞，喜，为发导译抵康居，传致大月氏。
The nation of Dayuan had long heard that China was wealthy, and had wanted to establish diplomatic relations, but had been unable to do so, and so they were very pleased to see Zhang Qian, and arranged for him to have a guide and a translator, with whom he reached the nation of Kangju, and then was transferred to the nation of Dayuezhi.
