2015年12月英語四六級翻譯真題

父母篇：

中國父母往往過于關(guān)注孩子的學(xué)習(xí)，以至于不要他們幫忙做家務(wù)。他們對孩子的首要要求就是努力學(xué)習(xí)?？嫉煤?，能上名牌大學(xué)。他們相信這是為孩子好。因?yàn)樵谥袊@樣競爭激烈的社會(huì)里，只有成績好才能保證前途光明。中國父母還認(rèn)為，如果孩子能在社會(huì)上取得大的成就，父母就會(huì)受到尊重。因此，他們愿意犧牲自己的時(shí)間、愛好和興趣，為孩子提供更好的條件。

麗江篇：

云南省的麗江古鎮(zhèn)是中國著名的旅游目的地之一。那里的生活節(jié)奏比大多數(shù)中國城市都要緩慢。麗江到處都是美麗的自然風(fēng)光。眾多的少數(shù)民族同胞提供了各式各樣，豐富多彩的文化讓游客體驗(yàn)。歷史上，麗江還以”愛之城”而聞名。當(dāng)?shù)厝酥辛鱾髦S多關(guān)于因愛而生、為愛而死的故事。如今，在中外游客眼中，這個(gè)古鎮(zhèn)被視為愛情和浪漫的天堂（paradise）。

比賽篇：

今年在長沙舉行了一年一度的外國人漢語演講比賽。這項(xiàng)比賽證明是促進(jìn)中國和世界其他地區(qū)文化交流的好方法。它為世界各地的年輕人提供了更好地了解中國的機(jī)會(huì)。來自87個(gè)國家共計(jì)126位選手聚集在湖南省省會(huì)參加了從7月6日到8月5日進(jìn)行的半決賽和決賽。比賽并不是唯一的活動(dòng)，選手們還有機(jī)會(huì)參觀了中國其他地區(qū)的著名景點(diǎn)和歷史名勝。

減貧篇：

在幫助國際社會(huì)于2030年前消除極端貧困過程中，中國正扮演著越來越重要的角色。自20世紀(jì)70年代末實(shí)施改革開放以來，中國已使多達(dá)四億人擺脫了貧困。在未來五年中，中國將向其他發(fā)展中國家在減少貧困、發(fā)展教育、農(nóng)業(yè)現(xiàn)代化、環(huán)境保護(hù)和醫(yī)療保健等方面提供援助。中國在減少貧困方面取得了顯著進(jìn)步，并在促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長方面作出了不懈努力，這將鼓勵(lì)其他貧困國家應(yīng)對自身發(fā)展中的挑戰(zhàn)。在尋求具有自身特色的發(fā)展道路時(shí)，這些國家可以借鑒中國的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

工業(yè)篇：

最近，中國政府決定將其工業(yè)升級。中國現(xiàn)在涉足建造高速列車，遠(yuǎn)洋船舶，機(jī)器人，甚至飛機(jī)。不久前，中國獲得了在印度尼西亞建造一條高鐵的合同：中國還與馬拉西亞簽署了為其提供高速列車的合同。這證明人們信賴中國造產(chǎn)品。中國造產(chǎn)品越來越受歡迎。中國為此付出了代價(jià)，但這確實(shí)有助于消除貧困，同時(shí)還為世界各地的人們提供了就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。這是一件好事，值得稱贊。下次你去商店時(shí)，可能想看一看你所購商品的出產(chǎn)國名。很有可能這件商品是中國造的。

教育篇：

在中國，父母總是竭力幫助孩子，甚至為孩子做重要決定，而不管孩子想要什么，因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈胚@樣做是為孩子好。結(jié)果，孩子的成長和教育往往屈從于父母的意愿。如果父母決定為孩子報(bào)名參加一個(gè)課外班，以增加其被重點(diǎn)學(xué)校錄取的機(jī)會(huì)，他們會(huì)堅(jiān)持自己的決定，即使孩子根本不感興趣。然而在美國，父母可能會(huì)尊重孩子的意見，并在決策時(shí)更注重他們的意見。中國父母十分重視教育或許值得稱贊。然而，他們應(yīng)該向美國父母學(xué)習(xí)在涉及教育時(shí)如何平衡父母與子女間的關(guān)系。

Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don't help them do the housework.Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university.They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future.Chinese parents also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society.Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children.The Annual Chinese Speech Contest for Foreigners was held in Changsha this year.The contest was proved to be a good way to promote cultural exchanges between China and other regions all over the world.It provides an opportunity for young people around the world to understand China better.A total of 126 players from 87 countries gathered in the capital of Hunan province to participate in the semi-final and the final from July 6th to August 5th.Competition is not the only activity.Players also have a chance to visit famous and historical attractions in other parts of China.Lijiang, an ancient town of Yunnan Province, is one of the most famous tourist destinations.Its pace of life is slower than that of most cities of China.There are many natural beauties everywhere in Lijiang and many ethnical minorities provide tourists with a great variety of cultural experience.Lijiang is also well-known as the “city of love” in history.Many stories about life and dying for love have spreaded widely among the locals.Nowadays, for tourists home and abroad, the ancient town is regarded as a paradise of love and romance.The Chinese government has decided to upgrade theindustrial structure recently.The construction of high speedtrains, ocean-going vessels, robots and even airplanes have beeninvolved in and a contract on the construction of high-speed railhas been signed by China and Indonesia lately, which proved thefact that the product made in China enjoys a high level ofreliability.The “Made in China” have been widely spread around theworld at a hefty cost.However, with the elimination of poverty and the jobopportunities provided for people around the world, the popularityof the “ Made in China” deserves applause.Therefore, you may wantto check the original places of the product you have bought instores because it is exceedingly possible that this product is madein China.In the process ofhelping global communities to terminate extreme poverty by 2030,the role China plays enjoys an increasing level of significance.400 million people have already gotten rid of poverty since the1970s, when the reforming and opening up policy started.In thefive years to come, China is going to provide the other developingcountries with the help in terms of the elimination of poverty, thedevelopment of education, the modernization of agriculture,environmental protection as well as medical care.The progress made byChina in the elimination of poverty is obviously great and Chinahas been making persistent efforts in promoting the economicgrowth, which serves as an example to inspire other developingcountries to confront with challenges in their own development.TheChinese experience could help a lot in the search of thedevelopment patterns with their own characters.In China, parents are always trying to help their children.They even help make important decisions regardless of what their children want, because they believe that it is for the good of the children.As a result, the growth and education of the children tend to succumb to the wishes of their parents.If the parents decide to sign up extra-curricular classes for their children in order to increase their chances of being admitted to key schools, they would stick to their decisions, even if the children simply are not interested in them at all.However, in the United States, parents are likely to respect the views of the children, and pay more attention to their ideas in decision-making.It is probably commendable that Chinese parents attach great importance to education.However, when it comes to education, they should learn from American parents on how to balance the relationship between parents and children.

1.中國酒文化

Chinese wine culture

中國人在7000年以前就開始用谷物釀酒?？偟膩碚f，不管是古代還是現(xiàn)代，酒都和中國文化息息相關(guān)。長久以來，中國的酒文化在人們生活中一直扮演著重要的角色。我們的祖先在寫詩時(shí)以酒助興，在宴會(huì)中和親朋好友敬酒。作為一種文化形式，酒文化也是普通百姓生活不可分割的部分，比如生日宴會(huì)，送別晚宴，婚禮慶典等。

Chinese Calligraphy

中國書法歷史悠久，它不僅是漢字的傳統(tǒng)書寫形式，也是體現(xiàn)自我修養(yǎng)和自我表達(dá)的藝術(shù)。作者的內(nèi)心通過美妙的字體得以體現(xiàn)。書法在中國藝術(shù)中擁有舉足輕重的地位，因?yàn)樗绊懙搅似渌闹袊囆g(shù)形式，比如古典詩歌，雕塑，傳統(tǒng)音樂及舞蹈，建筑及手工藝品。作為傳統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)瑰寶，中國書法被全世界人民所喜愛，且越來越受到歡迎。

Landscape Painting

山水畫一直以來都被譽(yù)為中國繪畫的最高境界。它品位高端，很受歡迎。一般意義上，中國山水畫被認(rèn)為是書法，繪畫及詩歌的結(jié)合或延伸。漢語“山水”這個(gè)詞是由“山”和“水”兩個(gè)漢字組成，且與道教的哲學(xué)思想相聯(lián)系，它強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人與自然的和諧。中國畫家描繪的不總是真實(shí)的世界，他們呈現(xiàn)出來的是自己想象出來的風(fēng)景，這些風(fēng)景不再只是對眼前世界的描繪，而是畫家內(nèi)在思想的寫照。因此，人們認(rèn)為欣賞山水畫除了可以很好地了解畫家的內(nèi)心世界之外，還可以凈化自己的靈魂。

Landscape painting is traditionally considered as the highest form of Chinese painting styles.It is very popular and is associated with refined scholarly taste.Chinese Landscape painting in general is seen as a combination or extension of calligraphy ,painting ,and poetry.The Chinese term for “l(fā)andscape” is made up of two characters meaning “mountains and water”.It is linked with the philosophy of Daoism ,which emphasizes harmony with the natural world.Chinese artists do not usually paint real place but imaginary landscape which is no longer about the description of conveying the inner mind.People therefore believe that looking at landscape painting is a good way to realize the artist’s inner heart as well as a way to purify their souls.4.中國戲曲

Chinese Opera

在中國，戲曲是一種很流行的戲劇形式，一般來說，可以追溯到唐朝時(shí)期，當(dāng)時(shí)的皇帝唐玄宗創(chuàng)立了“梨園”。如今，許多外國人也很喜歡中國的戲曲。最吸引他們的則是獨(dú)有風(fēng)格-臉譜，它不僅是戲曲中的一大亮點(diǎn)，同時(shí)還要求獨(dú)特的繪畫技藝。每個(gè)演員臉上夸張的扮相代表其扮演的角色的性格和命運(yùn)。熟知戲曲的觀眾通過觀察演員的臉譜和服裝就可以知道角色背后的故事。通常紅色臉譜代表忠誠與勇敢；黑色代表兇猛；黃色和白色代表口是心非；金色和銀色代表神秘。對于中國人，特別是老年人，欣賞戲曲是他們的一大樂趣。

Chinese Opera is a popular form of drama in China.In general ,it dates back to the Tang Dynasty with Emperor XuanZhong ,who founded the “Pear Garden”.Now Chinese opera is warmly welcomed by many foreign people.What appeals foreigners most might be the distinctive style of facial make-up, which is one of the highlights and requires distinctive designs are painted on each performer’s face to symbolize a character’s personality,and fate.Audiences who are familiar with opera can know the story by observing the facial painting as well as the costumes.Generally,a red face represents loyalty and bravery;a black face ,rough;yellow and white faces,duplicity;and golden and silver faces,mystery.For Chinese,especially older folks, to listen to opera is a real pleasure.5.京劇

Peking Opera

京劇是中國的一種傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)。它是中國戲曲的一種，誕生于1790年四大徽班（Four Great Anhui Troupes）入京表演的時(shí)候。19世紀(jì)中期得到快速發(fā)展，到清朝達(dá)到全盛階段。京劇被看成是中國的文化瑰寶之一。雖然它被稱為京劇，但是它的發(fā)源地卻是中國的安徽省和湖北省。京劇起初是宮廷表演藝術(shù)，而后才慢慢普及到民間。在數(shù)百年前，京劇作為一種新的戲曲形式，無論在哪進(jìn)行表演，都飽受歡迎。而在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中，包括京劇在內(nèi)的傳統(tǒng)戲曲卻不大能被年輕人接受，面臨著巨大的生存危機(jī)。

Peking opera is a traditional art in china.It is a kind of Chinese opera which was born when the Four Great Anhui Troupes came to Beijing in 1790,arose in the mod-19th century and was extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty.Peking opera is widely regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.Although it is called Beijing opera,its originally staged for the court and came into the public later.Hundreds of years ago,as a new drama form,wherever it was performed,it would be warmly welcomed.Unfortunately,in the modern world,traditional operas including Peking Opera have to face the existential crisis,because they are not easily accepted by younger generations.6.昆曲 Kunqu Opera

昆曲是中國古老戲曲中的一種，起源于江蘇昆山，擁有600多年的歷史。它是連接過去與現(xiàn)在，中國與世界的紐帶，對現(xiàn)今中國的戲曲形式，包括川劇與京劇在內(nèi)，都產(chǎn)生了重要的影響。昆曲蘊(yùn)育了各種意象美，從音樂，舞蹈到詩歌，人們的精神世界甚至中國人的靈魂，都有所體現(xiàn)。正因?yàn)槿绱?，昆曲在過去廣受歡迎，也成了中國文化遺產(chǎn)中最珍貴的部分。但是現(xiàn)在，昆曲不僅面臨著來自大眾流行文化的挑戰(zhàn)，而且年輕人也對其缺乏興趣。只有進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)谋Ｗo(hù)，昆曲才能擁有美好的未來。

Kunqu Opera,which originated in the Kunshan region of Jiangsu province,is one of China’s classical operas with a history of more than 600 years.Kunqu Opera serves as a link between past and present,China and the world.It has exerted a dominant influence on recent forms of opera in China,including the Sichuan and Beijing operas.Kunqu Opera embraced every imaginable beauty,from music and dance,to poetry and people’s spirit world and even very soul of the Chinese nation,so that Kunqu Opera is facing competition from mass culture and a lack of interest amongst the young.It can only have a bright future when it is protected in a proper way.7.唐詩 Poems of the Tang Dynasty

唐代，是中國古典詩歌的鼎盛時(shí)期，在不到300年的時(shí)間里，涌現(xiàn)出了許多著名的詩人和詩作。清朝時(shí)編輯的《全唐詩》（Poems of the Tang Dynasty)已收錄2200多位詩人創(chuàng)作的48900多首詩歌。這些詩歌讓人們深入了解到當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)生活的各個(gè)方面。中國人很喜歡唐詩，就連小孩子也能背出幾首，如李白的《靜夜思》（Thoughts in the Silent Night)，杜甫的《春夜喜雨》(Good Rain on a Spring Night)等等。唐詩不僅是中國古代文學(xué)史上最光輝的一頁，而且也是人類文化史中的一個(gè)奇跡。

The Tang Dynasty witnessed the peak of Chinese ancient poetry,with many renowned poets and famous woeks appearing over a period of less than 300 years.Pomes of the Tang Dynasty edited during the Qing Dynasty has collected more than 48900 poems written by over 2200 poets.These poems provide an insight into all aspects of the social life of the period.Chinese people are very foud of Tang poetry ,and even children can recite some from memory,such as Thoughts in the Silent Night by Li Bai,Good Rain on a Spring Night by Du Fu ,etc.Tang poetry not only serves as a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature,but is also a miracle in the history of human culture.8.中國武術(shù) Chinese Martial Arts/Kunfu

中國武術(shù)擁有悠久的歷史，在中國廣為流行。受中國古典美學(xué)所提倡的剛?cè)岵?jì)的影響，中國武術(shù)形成了自己的審美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?，F(xiàn)在很多人習(xí)武是為了健康，娛樂和競技。為了更好地傳承這一古老的技藝，全國各地開設(shè)有很多的武術(shù)俱樂部和協(xié)會(huì)。自1980年起，一大批的武術(shù)專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生被分配到學(xué)校里教授武術(shù)?，F(xiàn)在很多專家通過將搏斗技巧和健康結(jié)合到一起，試著將武術(shù)變?yōu)橐豁?xiàng)科學(xué)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。他們希望有一天，武術(shù)可以作為一項(xiàng)賽事納入奧運(yùn)會(huì)中。

Chinese martial arts enjoy a long history and great popularity in China.Influenced by ancient Chinese aesthetics which advocated a balance between hardness and softness,Chinese martial arts have formed their own aesthetic standards.Today,many people practice it to pursue heath,entertainment and competition.In order to inherit the ancient art,many martial arts clubs and associations have been established across China.Since 1980,a large number of graduates majoring in martial arts have been assigned to teach martial arts into a scientific sport by combining fighting skills with heath.They hope that one day martial arts will become a sport event at the Olympic Games.9.長城

The Great Wall

長城，作為中國的象征之一，不僅是中國的奇跡，也是整個(gè)世界的奇跡。它始建于春秋戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期，秦始皇統(tǒng)一中國后，連結(jié)了各段長城以抵御外敵入侵。先純的長城遺跡主要為建于14世紀(jì)的明長城。長城有著兩千多年的歷史，于1987年被聯(lián)合國教科文組織列為世界遺產(chǎn)?，F(xiàn)如今，長城仍是世界上最受歡迎的景點(diǎn)之一。

As one of the symbols of China, the Great Wall is a wonder not only to China but also to the whole world.The Great Wall was first built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.After the unification of China,the first Emperor of Qing linked up different sections of the walls to prevent the invasion of the enemies.The present preserved Great Wall of China is the major parts built in the 14th century,called Ming Great Wall.With a long history of more than 2000 years,the Great Wall of China was listed as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.Until now,the Great Wall is still one of the most popular attractions in the world.10.故宮

The Imperial Palace

故宮又名紫禁城，位于北京市中心，占地面積72萬平方米。它擁有眾多的庭院，四面有高墻和護(hù)城河保護(hù)。明清兩代的皇帝和他們的家眷以及數(shù)百名宮女，太監(jiān)曾在這里居住。紫禁城于明朝1420年建成，普通百姓不能進(jìn)入。在924年清朝末代皇帝被逐出故宮后，故宮與1925年變成了故宮博物院并對外開放。

Standing/Lying in the center of Beijing,the Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City,covers an area of 72000 square meters.It consists of dozens of courtyards and is protected by high walls and amoat on all four sides.The emperors of two dynasties,the Ming and the Qing,lived here with their families and hundreds of court ladies and palace eunuchs.The Forbidden City was completed in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty,which was been open tothe public after the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was driven out of the Palace in 1924.

第三篇：四六級中國文化翻譯

1.長城是人類創(chuàng)造的世界奇跡之一。如果你到了中國卻沒去過長城，就像到了巴黎沒有去看埃菲爾鐵塔，或者就像到了埃及沒有去看金字塔一樣。人們常說：“不到長城非好漢?！睂?shí)際上，長城最初只是一些斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的城墻，直到秦朝統(tǒng)一中國后才將其連城長城。然而，今天我們看到的長城——東起山海關(guān)，西至嘉峪關(guān)——大部分都是在明代修建的。

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that was created by human beings.If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower;or going to Egypt without paying a visit to the Pyramids.As it is often quoted by people, “He who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty.However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.2.要了解中國文化，就應(yīng)該對中國的戲曲文化有所了解。中國地方戲種類很多，其中京劇是一個(gè)具有代表性的劇種。作為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的劇種，京劇的誕生大約是在1840年至I860年。京劇是在吸收其他地方戲營養(yǎng)的基礎(chǔ)上形成的。京劇有明確的角色分工。在念白上用北京方言；在音樂上以胡琴為主要伴奏樂器。由于京劇是在融合各種地方戲之精華的基礎(chǔ)上形成的，所以它不僅為北京的觀眾所鐘愛，也受到全國人民的喜愛。

To understand the Chinese culture, you have to know something about the Chinese opera culture.In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.As an independent opera form, Peking Opera was approximately born between 1840 and 1860.Peking opera originated from absorbing the essentials of other local operas.In Peking Opera there is a clear division of roles.The spoken parts are in Beijing dialect;and huqin is the main accompaniment instrument.Since Peking Opera has combined the cream of various local operas, it is enjoyed not only by Beijing audience, but also by people all over the country.難點(diǎn)精析：

1.要了解中國文化，就應(yīng)該對中國的戲曲文化有所了解：該句沒有給出明確的主語，因而在翻譯時(shí)要注意：增譯主語you。“中國的戲曲文化”可譯為the Chinese opera culture。

2.中國地方戲種類很多，其中京劇是一個(gè)具有代表性的劇種：該句在翻譯時(shí)可以采用非限定性定語從句結(jié)構(gòu)。該句可譯為：In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.注意此處為了避免在前后分句中重復(fù)使用名詞opera而在后半句中使用了名詞性替代詞 one。3.京劇是在吸收其他地方戲營養(yǎng)的基礎(chǔ)上形成的：“在??的基礎(chǔ)上形成”如果直接譯為be formed on the I basis of...會(huì)稍顯生硬，因而可以靈活譯為originate from...?！暗胤綉颉笨梢灾弊g為local opera。4.念白：“念白”指的是中國戲曲中人物的獨(dú)白或者兩者的對話，因而此處在翻譯時(shí)可將其靈活譯為the spoken parts。

5.胡琴：這一特有名詞在英文中并沒有直接對應(yīng)的詞匯或表達(dá)，因而可以采用漢語拼音表示。

6.“the cream of…”: …的精華；…的精英

第四篇：2014四六級翻譯熱門話題

1、孔子（Confucius）是春秋時(shí)期（the Spring and Autumn Period）的大思想家、大教育家和儒家學(xué)派（Confucianism）的創(chuàng)始人，是古代中國人心目中的圣人?？鬃拥难哉摵蜕交顒?dòng)記錄在由他的弟子或再傳弟子編成的《論語》（The Analects）一書中?！墩撜Z》是中國古代文化的經(jīng)典著作。在孔子之后幾千年的中國歷史上，沒有哪一位思想家、文學(xué)家和政治家不受《論語》的影響。不研究《論語》，就不能真正把握中國幾千年的傳統(tǒng)文化。As a great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius is a sage to the ancient Chinese people.His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects.As an enduring classic of Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced all thinkers, writers and politicians in the thousand years’ Chinese history after Confucius.No scholar could truly understand this long-standing culture or the inner world of the ancient Chinese without this book.2、大約在兩千多年前，中國就出現(xiàn)了蠟染（wax printing）。在中國服飾中，蠟染是一種流傳時(shí)間長、流行范圍大、使用領(lǐng)域廣的服裝工藝。蠟染是在布匹著色的過程中，以蜂蠟（beeswax）作為防止染色的材料。蜂蠟干了之后，會(huì)產(chǎn)生一些裂紋，這些裂紋在染色過程中滲透進(jìn)靛藍(lán)色，于是形成了如冰花式樣的美妙紋理。這樣自然天成的紋理可以說是蠟染的靈魂所在。

Wax printing appeared in China about 2,000 years ago.Wax printing has long been a widespread technique used in the history of Chinese fashion.During the dyeing process, beeswax is applied to prevent some parts of the cloth form being dyed.When the beeswax dries, it develops cracks, which absorb indigo in the process of dyeing, thus forming the beautiful natural lines resembling breaking ice.These naturally formed lines represent the beauty and soul of wax printing.3、景泰藍(lán)（cloisonné）是馳名中外的傳統(tǒng)工藝，它集青銅藝術(shù)、瓷器和雕刻諸種工藝制作技巧于一身，是一門地道的北京絕活。它是收藏家收藏的佳品，也是人們居家使用的精美物品。這項(xiàng)工藝始創(chuàng)于明代景泰年間，初創(chuàng)時(shí)的顏色主要是藍(lán)色，故得名“景泰藍(lán)”。到了成化年間，景泰藍(lán)技術(shù)進(jìn)一步成熟，這個(gè)時(shí)期的作品沉穩(wěn)凝重又透明靈動(dòng)，而且銅胎也極為講究。Cloisonné is a traditional art widely known in and outside China.It is a kind of superb local expertise form of Beijing, which combines the skills of bronze art,porcelain, carving and other types of folk arts.It is deemed valuable in the eyes of collectors, as well as refined ornaments for daily use.The making of cloisonné first appeared during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, with the main colour used being blue, hence the name “Jingtai Blue” as it became known later on.By the time of the Chenghua reign, the techniques for making cloisonné were further developed, with products of this period looking heavy and dignified yet not lacking in eloquence or vividness.Moreover, its cast was always made of choice copper.4、西塘在浙江嘉興，位于上海和杭州之間。這個(gè)占地規(guī)模并不大的古鎮(zhèn)有著悠久的歷史，它初建于春秋時(shí)期（the Spring and Autumn Period），位于吳國和越國的交界處。西塘的大致規(guī)模在宋代之前就已經(jīng)形成，今所見西塘著名的橋梁望仙橋（Wangxian Bridge）就是宋代的遺跡。在明清時(shí)期，西塘既是遠(yuǎn)近聞名的魚米之鄉(xiāng)，又是著名的絲綢制造之地，還以制陶業(yè)（ceramics）而享譽(yù)全國。

Xitang is located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, between Shanghai and Hangzhou.Though small in size, this ancient town boasts a long history.It was first built during the Spring and Autumn Period, at the border between the states of Wu and Yue.The present layout had already taken shape before the Song Dynasty, and the famous Wangxian Bridge in Xitang is a legacy of the Song.By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xitang had become a well-known trade centre for farm products, silks and ceramics, all produced in the surrounding areas and famous throughout the country.5、秧歌舞（Yangko dance）是中國漢族的一種傳統(tǒng)民間舞蹈，通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服裝，他們的表演動(dòng)作迅速有力。在農(nóng)歷春節(jié)、元宵節(jié)等節(jié)日期間，人們一旦聽到鑼鼓聲，不管外面天氣有多冷，他們都會(huì)蜂擁到街上觀看秧歌舞表演。近年來，中國東北某些城市的老年人自發(fā)組織了秧歌隊(duì)，隊(duì)員常年通過跳舞來保持健康，同時(shí)他們也樂在其中。

The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick.During holidays, such as the lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko

dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.6、中國的青銅器時(shí)代（Bronze Age）從夏開始，經(jīng)歷商、西周到春秋時(shí)期（the Spring and Autumn Period），前后持續(xù)了一千五百多年的時(shí)間。大量出土的青銅器物表明，中國創(chuàng)造了燦爛的青銅文明。這些青銅器物不僅有豐富的政治和宗教內(nèi)涵，而且還具有很高的藝術(shù)價(jià)值。今藏于中國歷史博物館的大盂鼎（the Great Ding for Yu）是中國青銅器時(shí)代的代表性作品之一。它是西周康王（King Kang）時(shí)期的作品，距今大約有三千多年。

The Bronze Age in China lasted more than 1,500 years, from the Xia through the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn Period.Large numbers of unearthed artifacts indicate a high level of ancient bronze civilization in the country.They feature rich political and religious themes, and are of high artistic value.A representative example is the Great Ding for Yu, which is now preserved in the Museum of Chinese History.It was cast about 3,000 years ago during the reign of King Kang of Western Zhou Dynasty.7、1911 年，中國爆發(fā)了歷史上的第一次資產(chǎn)階級革命——辛亥革命（the Revolution of 1911），它推翻了中國封建社會(huì)的最后一個(gè)朝代——清朝，廢除了中國延續(xù)了2000 多年的封建帝制，建立了中國的第一個(gè)民主共和國——中華民國。民國政府成立以后，要求全國人民都剪掉頭上的辮子（queues），選擇自己喜歡的發(fā)型。至此，在中國延續(xù)了280 多年的辮子法令終于被解除。

In 1911, the first bourgeois revolution in Chinese history — the Revolution of 1911 broke out.The last dynasty of the Chinese feudal society, Qing Dynasty, was over-thrown and the monarch system that had a history of more than 2,000 years was abolished.The Republic of China, the first democratic republic in China, was founded in 1912.After its foundation, the government of Republic of China had required the citizens to cut off their queues and make the haircut they liked.Since then, the wearing-queue order that had lasted for more than 280 years in China has been abolished.8、出現(xiàn)在中國五代時(shí)期的婦女纏足（foot-binding），雖然最初是宮廷舞女為了方便跳舞而采

用的一種行為，但由于有人認(rèn)為腳裹起來更好看，所有很多人就開始效仿起來。到了宋代，封建社會(huì)的綱常思想非常嚴(yán)重，受到男尊女卑的封建禮教的影響，女子裹腳的風(fēng)氣被傳承下來，并逐漸成為一種習(xí)俗。為了與婦女的小腳相適應(yīng)，宋代還出現(xiàn)了專門為裹足婦女制作的弓鞋（gongxie）。

The practice of foot-binding for women appeared in the Five Dynasties, but in the beginning, it was only adopted by the court dancers for convenience while dancing.Since people thought the foot-binding made women’s feet look more beautiful, many females rushed to follow suit.By the Song Dynasty, due to the importance of feudal ethical thoughts and influence of the feudal male superiority conception, the practice of foot-binding was inherited and became a custom.In the Song Dynasty, to meet the needs of women’s small feet, a kind of specially designed shoes gongxie was made.9、據(jù)中國古代史書記載，治水有功的大禹通過禪讓制接替舜成為部落聯(lián)盟首領(lǐng)。但大禹死后，他的兒子夏啟卻破壞禪讓的傳統(tǒng)，自立為國王，建立了中國歷史上第一個(gè)奴隸制國家——夏。從此，王位實(shí)行世襲制度，中國社會(huì)從此步入階級社會(huì)。夏代處在中國社會(huì)從原始社會(huì)向奴隸社會(huì)過渡的時(shí)期，社會(huì)生活的各個(gè)方面依然保存著原始社會(huì)的種種痕跡。

According to the Chinese ancient documents, the legendary leader Shun abdicated and handed over his leadership to Da Yu who had made great contribution to controlling the flood of the Yellow River of China.When Da Yu died, his son Xia Qi breached the tradition of demise system and set himself as the king.Xia, the first slavery nation in Chinese history, was founded.Since then, the hereditary system had been practiced.Thus, China stepped into a class society.The Xia Dynasty was a transition from primitive society to slave society.At that time, all aspects of social life still reserved traces of primitive society.10、北京烤鴨是自封建帝王時(shí)代就在北京城流行的著名菜肴，如今它被認(rèn)為是中國的一道國菜。這道菜以它薄而脆的酥皮，以及廚師們在客人面前片鴨子的真實(shí)情形而著稱。專門用于制作烤鴨的鴨子在養(yǎng)殖65 天后就被屠宰了，鴨子在烤制前要先用調(diào)料腌制（season），然后才送進(jìn)燜爐或者掛爐。鴨肉通常配上蔥（scallion）、黃瓜和甜面醬，用薄餅卷著食用。

Peking duck is a famous duck dish that has been popular since the imperial era in Beijing, and is now considered a national dish of China.The dish is prized for the thin, crisp skin with authentic vision of the dish serving sliced in front of the diners by the cook.Ducks bred specially for the dish are slaughtered after 65

2、長城是人類創(chuàng)造的世界奇跡之一

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world created by human beings!If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower;or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids!People often say, “He who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty.However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.3、改革開放30 年來，隨著中國逐漸崛起成為政治

As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice in learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners develop their interest in this ancient land, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs.And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerable civilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners.This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay.Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture, herbal medicines and martial arts.// They are also interested in Kongfu films, fashions and crafts.Seemingly outlandish words such as dim sum, ginseng, gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language.The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism, an ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//
