第一篇：翻譯題(中國傳統文化)2

一、歷史文化

四大文明古國：中國位于亞洲東部，是世界上人口最多的國家。中國是世界四大文明古國之一，擁有大量的中華文化光輝的古跡，此外，中國地大物博，擁有茂密的森林、雄偉壯麗的瀑布、秀麗的湖泊以及如利劍直插云霄的山峰，所有這些都令世界各國人民神往。但是，更重要的是，中國以擁有五千多年的歷史而自豪，遺留下無數的歷史文物，其中包括珍貴珠寶、古跡名勝、宮殿及數不盡的雄偉建筑，令人驚嘆不已。這種種原因都促使中國成為許多人夢寐以求的旅游勝地。China lies in the east of Asia and it has the largest population in the world.China is also one of the four countries in the world that have an ancient civilization, Besides, it has a vast territory with such abundant natural resources as dense forests, magnificent waterfalls, majestic and beautiful rivers and lakes, and mountains whose peaks reach high into the sky like swords.All these make China a singularly attractive place to tourists around the world.But, most importantly, China boasts a history of over five thousand years with innumerable historical relics left over from the long past, such as priceless pearls and jewels, historic sites and scenic spots, palaces and edifices of architectural richness, all of which have won people’s admiration.You are sure to find great enjoyment from all these attractions in China, a much-admired dream land.中華傳統文化：中華民族的傳統文化博大精深，源遠流長。早在2000多年前，就產生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學說和以老莊為代表的道家學說，以及其他許多也在中國思想史上有地位的學說流派，這就是有名的“諸子百家”。從孔夫子到孫中山，中華民族傳統文化有它的許多珍貴品質，許多人民性和民主性的好東西。比如，強調仁愛，強調群體，強調和而不同，強調天下為公。特別是“天下興亡，匹夫有責”的愛國情找，“民為邦本”，“民貴君輕”的民本思想，“己所不欲勿施于人”的待人之道，吃苦耐勞，勤儉持家，尊師重教的傳統美德，世代相傳。所有這些，對家庭，國家和社會起到了巨大的維系與調節作用。

The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course.More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term” the masters’ hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic.For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all.Especially, patriotism as embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country”;the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of the country” and that “people are the more important than the monarch”;the code of conduct of “Treat others as you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from generation to generation:endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in household management,and

respecting

teachers

and

valuing education.All of which have played a great role in binding and regulating the family,the country and the society.漢語：從某種意義上說，漢語是一種很古老的語言，其最早的漢字已有近四千年的歷史了。漢字在其漫長的發展史中演化成許多不同的書寫形式，例如篆書、隸書、楷書和行書。中國書法家往往使漢字的字形夸張以取得藝術效果，例如旅游勝地的一些石刻碑文。中國書法是一門研究藝術，隨著各位學習興趣的提高，我們將適時介紹中國書法的流派，以及如何欣賞中國書法的藝術性。

In a sense, Chinese is a very old language, and its earliest characters date back nearly four thousand years ago.During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms, such as the Seal script, Clerical script, Regular script and Running script.Chinese calligraphers usually render their Chinese characters in ways that exaggerate the form to yield artistic beauty, such as those in stone inscriptions seen in tourist resorts.Chinese calligraphy is a subject of artistic study.As your interest in Chinese character system increases in the days to come, we will introduce in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.孔子：孔子(ConfUcius)是一位思想家、政治家，教育家，也是中國儒 學(the Ru School)思想的創始人。儒學(Confucianism)，這個道德和 宗教哲學的大系統建立在孔圣人(Master Kung)的教學上。馮友蘭，中國思想史上20世紀偉大的的權威之一，把孔子在中國歷史上的影 響比作西方的蘇格拉底。

Confucius was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought.Confucianism, the great system of moral and religious philosophy built upon the teachings of Master Kung.Fung You-lan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history ofChinese thought, compares Confucius9 influence in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West.紅樓夢：《紅樓夢》問世二百年以來,通過漢文原文和各種譯文讀過此書的人,不知有多少億!這么多的讀者哪一個是先看批評家的文章,然而再讓批評家牽著鼻子走,按圖索驥地去讀原作呢?我看是絕無僅有的。一切文學作品,特別是象《紅樓夢》這樣偉大的作品,內容異常地豐富,涉及到的社會層面異常地多,簡直象是一個寶山，一座迷宮。而讀者群就更加復雜，他們來讀《紅樓夢》，會各就自己的特點，欣賞該書中的某一個方面，受到鼓舞，受到啟發，引起了喜愛;也可能受到打擊，引起了憎惡?？傊乔Р钊f別。

Ever since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions some 200 years ago, hundreds of millions of people have read its Chinese original or its translations in various languages.Of these innumerable people, how many have read the novel by starting with a perusal of the critics' articles and allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the critics as to how to read the novel? Next to none.All literary works, especially a monumental one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve diverse social strata-to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth.And the readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background.They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own individuality.They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it.In short, the reactions vary.二、傳統節日

春節：春節慶祝活動是一年中最重要的慶?；顒?。中國人慶祝春節的方式可能略微不同，但其愿望幾乎是相同的，他們希望其家人和朋友來年健康和幸運。春節慶祝活動通常持續15天。慶?；顒影ù汗澋哪暌癸垼疟夼?，給兒童壓歲錢，春節鐘聲和春節問候。大多數中國人將在春節的第7天停止慶祝活動，因為全國性節假通常在這一天結束，但在公共場所的慶?；顒涌赡茏罱K持續到正月十五。

Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year.Chinese people may celebrate the Chinese New Year in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same;they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days.Celebratory activities include Chinese New Feast, firecrackers, giving lucky money to children, the New Year bell ringing and Chinese New Year Greetings.Most of Chinese people will stop the celebrating in their home on the 7th day of New Year because the national holiday usually ends around that day, however celebrations in public areas can last until the 15th day of New Year.清明節：清明節的習俗是豐富有趣的，除了講究禁火、掃墓，還有踏青、蕩秋千、蹴鞠、打馬球、插柳等一系列風俗體育活動。相傳這是因為清明節要寒食禁火，為了防止寒食冷藏傷身，所以大家來參加一些體育活動，以鍛煉身體。因此，這個節日既有祭掃新墳生別死離得悲酸淚，又有踏青游玩的歡笑聲，是一個富有特色的節日。

Ching Ming Festival(the Tomb-sweeping Festival), the custom is full of interesting.In addition to pay attention to ban fire, tomb-sweeping, as well as spring outing, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, Liu inserted a series of custom sports.According to legend, this is because the Ching Ming Festival to Cold Food Observance ban fire, in order to prevent the Cold Food Observance buffet beverages, so we come to participate in some sports, in order to exercise.Therefore, this festival which has both the acid tears of sorrow for the died and the laughter from the players, is a distinctive holiday.元宵節：與大多數中國節日一樣，元宵節同樣有自己的特色小吃，成為“湯圓”(也叫“元宵”)。湯圓外形圓圓的，外皮由糯米制成，內陷或甜或辣。人們都說湯圓有兩個象征之意，一為農歷的第一個月圓，二為家庭團聚圓滿。元宵節傳統習俗中還有一部分是關于猜燈謎的游戲。在過去，這些謎語大多出自于模糊的文學典故和中國古典文學之中，所以猜燈謎以前多為知識份子的“領地”。踩高蹺，敲大鼓和舞龍獅也是元宵節主要的娛樂活動。

Like most Chinese festivals, the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called “tang yuan”.These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings.The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family utility and completeness.Part of the lantern festival tradition involves a game to guess riddles attached to the lanterns.In the old days the riddles were obscure literary allusions to the Chinese classics and so were mainly the preserve of the educated classes.Stilt-walking, drumming and dragon and lion dancing are the main entertainment forms of the Lantern Festival.端午節：端午節，又叫龍舟節，是為了紀念愛國詩人屈原。屈原是一位忠誠和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他給國家帶來了和平和繁榮。但最后因為受到誹謗（vilify）而最終投河自盡。人們撐船到他自盡的地方，拋下粽子，希望魚兒吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身軀。幾千年來，端午節的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和賽龍舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

The Duan Wu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water,hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.中秋節：農歷八月十五日是中國的傳統節日——中秋節。在這天，每個家庭都團聚在一起，一家人共同觀賞象征豐裕、和諧和好運的圓月。此時，大人們盡情吃著美味的月餅，品著熱騰騰的香茗，而孩子們則在一旁拉著明亮的兔子燈盡情玩耍。月宮里美麗的仙女嫦娥的神話故事賦予了這個節日神話色彩。傳說古時候，天空曾有10個太陽圍著地球旋轉。后翌射下了其中9個太陽，拯救了地球上的生靈。他偷了長生不老藥，卻被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下，從而產生了嫦娥奔月的故事。The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar month.It is a time for family members to congregate and enjoy the full moon, which is a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of various kinds with a good cup of hot Chinese tea, while the children run around with their brightly-lit rabbit lanterns.The festival was endowed a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.Hou Yi, shot down 9 of the suns to save all the lives on carth.He stole the elixir of life, which can make people immortal.However, his wife, Chang-E drank it.Thus the legend of Chang-E flying into the moon came into being.三、傳統事物

筷子：中國人使用筷子已經有3 000多年的歷史了。中國的筷子夾菜的一端是圓的，象征著天；另一端是方的，象征著地。這是因為，維持充足的食物供應是天地之間最重要的事情。中國有個古老的風俗，女子出嫁時要用筷子當嫁妝，因為“筷子”與“快子”諧音。根據中國的餐桌禮儀，吃飯時一直握著筷子是不禮貌的。將菜送入口中后，應立刻把筷子放下。吃飯時，用筷子指著別人會對其造成冒犯。

There has been a history of more than 3 000 years for the Chinese to have meals with chopsticks.Chinese chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes the heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes the earth.It is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between the heaven and the earth.There is an old custom in the past in China, that chopsticks should be a part of a girl’s dowry.Kuaizi(chopsticks)is pronounced the same as “kuai zi”.The latter symbolized “quick” and “son”.According to the Chinese traditional table manners, it is impolite to hold the chopsticks all the time over the meal.As soon as one person sends a bite into his mouth, he should put down the chopsticks.It would offend others to point at them with chopsticks over the meal.文房四寶：在中國，筆、墨、紙、硯（ink slab），就是人們所說的“文房四寶”，在中華文明的傳承中起了重要作用。文房四寶不僅有實用價值，它們本身也是供人觀賞的藝術品，并逐步成為收藏品。文房四寶品類繁多，豐富多彩，選材制作不斷趨于完善、精美，歷代都有名品、名匠產生，成為一種深厚的文化積淀。在當今時代，使用筆、墨、紙、硯進行學習、寫作的人越來越少了，但是，在中國的書法、繪畫、收藏以及修身養性活動中，它們仍起著不可替代的作用。In China, “four treasures of the study” refers to “writing brush”, “ink stick”, “paper” and “ink slab”, playing an important role in passing on Chinese civilization.They not only have their value of practical use, but also become the works of art for appreciation and collection.There is a large variety of these four treasures.Selecting of materials and making process have become increasingly delicate and perfect.Each dynasty of Chinese history saw famous craftsmen appear and works produced, which is a profound process of cultural accumulation.In contemporary times, “four treasures of the study” have been increasingly rarely used for study or writhing, but they are still playing an irreplaceable role in the field of Chinese calligraphy, painting, collection and in the activities of cultivating one's mind.中國結：中國結（The Chinese Knot）是一種古老的藝術形式。人們發現，繩結可以追朔到10萬年前。中國人不僅用繩結來固定、包裹、狩獵、捕魚，還用來記錄事件，而且有些繩結純粹起裝飾作用。中國結具有文化內涵（cultural connotation）。由于結在漢語中的發音與“吉”相近。吉的意思是“福、祿、壽、喜、財、安、康”，這是中國人永恒的追求，因此有些中國結表達出人們的各種愿望。例如：新婚夫婦的房間通常用一個盤長結（Pan-chang Knot）來裝飾，象征著永恒的愛情。

The Chinese Knot is an ancient art form and artifacts could be found as far back as 100 000 years ago.Chinese people used knots for more than just fastening,wraping,hunting,fishing.Knots were also to record events,and some knots had purely ornamentak functions.The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations.Since knot is pronouced as“jie” in Chinese similar with

that

of

“ji”,which

means

blessing,good salary,longevity,happpiness,fortune,safety and health and is the everlasting pursuit of Chinese people,some Chinese Knots espress people's various hopes.For example,the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolize eternal love.八大菜系：中國一個幅員遼闊、資源豐富、歷史悠久的多民族國家，每個 民族都有其獨特的豐富菜肴。地域菜系在地理環境、氣候、文化傳 統、民族風俗和其他因素的影響下經過悠久歷史的發展已經成形。最有影響力、最具代表性的是魯、川、粵、閩、蘇、浙、湘、徽菜系，這八種被人們稱為“八大菜系”。中國的“八大菜系”是以多種多樣 的烹飪方法區分的，各有其長處。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors.The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”.Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points.四、傳統藝術

京劇：京劇被奉為中國的國粹，來源于18世紀晚期的安徽和湖北的當地劇種。京劇是中國所有劇種中最有影響力和代表性的，在中國乃至世界享有聲譽。京劇完美融 合了多種藝術形式。京劇集傳統音樂、舞蹈、詩歌、雜耍、武術于一身，以華麗的戲服、逼真的臉譜和程式化的演出套路而聞名。京劇臉譜上每一種圖形和亮麗的顏 色都有象征意義：紅色表示忠誠，藍色表示殘暴，黑色表示正直。Known as China’s national opera, Peking Opera originated in the late 18th century from the basis of some local operas in Anhui and Hubei Provinces.Peking Opera is the most influential and representative of all operas in China.It has won great popularity not only in China but also throughout the world.Peking Opera is a harmonious combination of many art forms.It is a synthesis of traditional music, dancing, poetry, acrobatics and martial arts.It is famous for its exquisite costumes, beautiful make-up or painted face, and established performing conventions and rules.Each of patterns and brilliant colors on the painted face has a symbolic meaning: red suggests loyalty;blue suggests cruelty;black suggests honesty.武術：武術在我國源遠流長，是中華民族傳統文化的瑰寶。我們知道，一個民族的優秀文化遺產，不僅僅屬于一個民族，它會逐漸傳播到世界而成為人類的共同財富。// 為了更好的推廣武術運動，使其與奧運項目接軌，中國武協和國際武聯做了大量的艱苦卓絕的工作?，F在武術運動已被列為一種具有與保齡球運動和國際標準舞同等地位的奧運表演項目。//武術的蓬勃發展，除得益于其項目本身的吸引力之外，早期移居海外的一代武術大師功不可沒。//老一代武術家在海外播種下了武術的種子，使武術這門既可以自衛又可以健身的運動很快就在新的土地上扎下了根。今天高超的武術大師已遍布世界各地，武術愛好者也與日俱增。Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times.It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As well know, the fine culture of a nation does not belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation(IWUF)have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement.Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.// The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generation shave sown wushu seeds in foreign countries.Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands.Today superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each passing day.獅舞：獅舞（Lion Dance）是中國最廣為流傳的民間舞蹈之一。獅為百獸之首，在中國傳統中，獅子被視為是能帶來好運的吉祥物（mascot）。古人將獅子視作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驅趕邪惡、保護人類。據記載，獅舞已擁有了2,000多年的歷史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），獅舞就已經被引入了皇室。因此，舞獅成為元宵節（the Lantern Festival）和其他節日的習俗，人們以此來祈禱好運、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.五、歷史景點

故宮：故宮，又名紫禁城，為明清共二十四位皇帝統治中國近500年的皇宮。它位于北京市中心，在天安門廣場的北側，形狀為長方形。南北長960米，東西寬750米，占地72公頃，總建筑面積達15萬平方米。故宮是世界上現存規模最大、最完整的古代木構宮殿。它分為外朝和內廷兩部分，外朝是皇帝上朝處理國家大事的地方，內廷是皇帝和皇室的居住地。1987年，故宮被聯合國教科文組織列入世界文化遺產。

The Imperial Palace, also called the Forbidden City was the palace where the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for roughly 500 years.The Imperial Palace is located in the center of Beijing, on the northern side of Tian’anmen Square, rectangular in shape, 960 meters from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 72 hectares and a total floor space of 150 000 square meters.It’s the world’s largest and most integral palace made of wood in existence.The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court.The outer court was the place where the emperors gave audience and handled state affairs, while the inner court was the living quarters for the emperors and their families.In 1987 the Imperial Palace was listed by the UNESCO as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites.四合院：四合院（Siheyuan）是中國傳統民居中最重要的形式。它數量多、分布廣，并且在漢族、滿族、白族以及其他少數民族中十分流行。大多數房屋采用木制框架。主屋建在南北走向的軸線上，兩個廂房則位于四合院的兩側。家庭中的長者住在主屋中，而兩翼則是年輕一代的臥室。婦女住在內院?？腿撕湍衅妥≡谕庠骸＿@種分布符合封建禮制（feudal regulations）。四合院遍布全國的城鄉，但由于各地自然條件和生活方式各有不同，因此發展出各自的特征。北京的四合院最具代表性的。

Siheyuan is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential house.It is great in number and wide in distribution,popular among the Han,Manchu，Bai,and some of other minority groups.Most of the houses are of wood framework.The principal room is biult on the south-north axis,and two wing rooms are located on both sides of it.The family elders live in the principal room and wings are the bedrooms for the younger generations.Women live in the inner yard.Guests and male servants live in the outer yard.This distribution is in accordance with feudal regulations.Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China,but each developed its own characteristics as result of respective natural conditions and different way of life.Siheyuan in Beijing is the most repesentative

絲綢之路：聞名于世的絲綢之路是一系列連接東西方的路線。絲綢之路代表了古代中國的絲綢貿易。絲綢之路上的貿易在中國、南亞、歐洲和發揮這重要作用。正是通過絲綢之路，中國的造紙、火藥、指南針、印刷術傳遍各地。同樣，中國的絲綢、茶葉和瓷器也傳遍各地，歐洲也是通過絲綢之路出口各種商品和植物，滿足中國市場的需要.The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West.The Silk Road represents the ancient Chinese silk trade.The Silk Road trade played an important role in China, South Asia, Europe and Africa.It was through the Silk Road that Chinese papermaking, gunpowder, the compass and the printing press spread all over the world.Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain also spread all over the world through the Silk Road.And Europe exported all kinds of goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market。

茶馬古道：茶馬古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)兩邊，生活著20多個少數 民族。不同的地方有著各自美麗而神奇的自然風景和傳統文化，比 如:大理，麗江古城，香格里拉(Shangrila),雅魯藏布江大峽谷和布 達拉宮(Potala Palace)。古道的兩旁有廟宇、巖石壁畫、騷站(post house),古橋和木板路，還有少數民族舞蹈和民族服裝。時至今天，雖然這條古道的蹤跡都消失了，但它的文化和歷史價值仍然存在。?

Along the Tea-horse Ancient Road lived more than 20 minori?ties.Concentrations of beautiful and mysterious natural landscapes and traditional cultures developed in various sites，including Dali old city, Lijiang old city, Shangrila, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, Potala Palace.The road features temples, rock paintings, post houses, ancient bridges and plank roads.It is also home to many national minorities and their dances and folk customs.Today, although the traces of the ancient road are fading away, its cultural and historic values remain.泰山：泰山稱東岳，以“五岳獨尊”的盛名享譽古今。按照“五行學說”，東方屬木，主生發，有生命之源、萬物之本的含義。這就是古代帝王通常在自己登基或晚年時到泰山封禪祭拜的原因。泰山拔地通天，氣勢磅礴，漢語又有“穩如泰山”、“重于泰山”之說。1987年，聯合國教科文組織將泰山列為世界自然與文化遺產。

Mount Tai, called “East Yue”, has a great reputation for the most important mountain of the Five Holy Mountains.According to the theory of five elements, the East belongs to mu, which means liveliness.Therefore, the East is a place where nature regulated and adjusted its procedures.This explains why important emperors made pilgrimages mostly to Mount Tai when they were crowned or in their later years.It is a symbol of loftiness and might, hence, there are the Chinese idioms: “as firm as Mount Tai” and “as weighty as Mount Tai”.Mount Tai was proclaimed world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1987.秦始皇陵墓：秦始皇陵墓(the Mausoleum of the Emperor Qin Shihuang)坐落在 陜西省西安市臨潼區以東5公里的驪山北部，是中國歷史上第一個皇帝的最終休眠之地。它于公元前246年開始建造,工程持續了38年。它占地面積56.25平方公里，是中國歷史上最大的陵墓。

The Mausoleum of the Emperor Qin Shihuang, located at the northern foot of the Lishan Mountain five kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi’an City, Shanxi Province, is the final resting place of the first emperor in the history of China.Its construction lasted for 38 years, commencing in 246BC.With an area of 56.25 square kilometers, it’s the largest mausoleum in China’s history.六、中西文化

中西文化1：美國人強調效率、競爭和獨創性，而中國人則將嚴謹規劃放在首位，鼓勵團隊成員之間的密切合作和無私奉獻。//在美國學校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論是課堂教學的主旋律；而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，編寫千篇一律的標準教案，培養整齊劃一的高材生。//美國人的政治觀，經濟觀以及社會觀的核心是個人道德自治觀。中國傳統的思想體系是以儒家學說為基礎的，這種思想強調整體和諧。//現在，中美聯系比以往更加緊密，中國人學英語，玩保齡球，吃肯德基，美國人學漢語，練功夫，吃北京烤鴨，《泰坦尼克》駛進中國，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演。//

American people emphasize efficiency,competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations.They write consistent and standardized teaching plans, and are

happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents.//Central to American political, economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy.Traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism,which sings high praises for communal harmony.//Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever.Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck.And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.//

中西文化2：越來越多受英文教育的海外華人父母，已經認識到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同時，也通曉中文的重要性。中國的崛起，讓他們充分認識到孩子掌握雙語的好處——既能增加他們的就業機會，也能讓他們接觸和熟悉東西方兩種不同的文化。這些人對中文的態度幾乎沒有完全改變。曾幾何時，他們還非常驕傲地宣稱自己只懂英文?，F在，他們已開始積極支持孩子學習中文和中國文化，而且還不時走訪中國，欣賞壯觀的自然風光，認識豐富的文化遺產。An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kid shave a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit rom their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China,where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.中西文化3：我贊同許多東亞學者的觀點，東方文明可以醫治盛行于西方世界的一些頑疾。西方世界個人自由主義泛濫導致了極端個人主義、性關系混亂以及過度暴力行為，對此我們不能視而不見。// 相反，東方社會的自我約束力，集體責任感以及溫厚儒雅的傳統倒可以消除西方社會的許多惡疾。// 在這個信息時代，世界已縮小成一個地球村。這個地球村里，不再有什么涇渭分明的東方世界和西方世界，我們是生活在同一個社區里的鄰里。// 因此，我們彼此之間無須沖突。我們之間的關系應該是一種友好合作，平等互補的關系。我們應該相互理解，相互學習，和睦共處。

I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills.We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other.Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.//

上海：朝氣蓬勃，充滿活力，豐富多彩的上海是現代中國的縮影。雖然上海的文化遺跡不能與北京媲美，但是上海迷人的城市風貌，風格各異的萬國建筑為這座城市注入了無限的魅力。今日之上海，已經成為享譽中外的國際大都市。漫步在這座日新月異的現代大都市里，你會發現許多精彩的歷史亮點，隱現在眾多摩天大樓背后的是上海發展變化的軌跡。它們記述了上海自十九世紀末開埠以來，尤其是新中國成立以后，是如何迅猛發展的。

Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city-the very epitome of modern China.Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own.Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past.Hidden a mongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai.They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.香港中文大學：香港中文大學，簡稱“中大”，成立于1963年。中大是一所研究型綜合大學，以“結合傳統與現代，融匯中國與西方”為創校使命。//40多年來，中大一直致力于弘揚中華傳統文化，堅持雙語教育，并推行獨特的書院制度，在香港教育界卓然而立。中大校園占地134 公頃，是世界上最美麗的校園之一。//中大的師生來自世界各地。有教職員工 5200多人，近萬名本科生、約2000多名研究生，其中約2500多人來自45個不同的國家和地區。//中大實行靈活的學分制，不僅有助于培養有專有博的人才，而且還賦予學生更大的學習自主權。中大的多元教育有助于充分發揮每一個學生的潛能。// The Chinese University of Hong Kong, CUHK for short, was founded in 1963.It is are search-oriented comprehensive university with a mission to combine tradition with modernity and bring together China and the West.//For more than40 years, we have been distinguished from other local universities by virtue of our rich Chinese cultural heritage, bilingual education, and our unique college system.134-hectare campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world.//CUHK’ s faculty and students come from all corners of the world.It has more than 5200 staff members,approximately10,000 undergraduates, and 2000 postgraduate students.Of these students, some2,500 are from 45 countries and regions outside Hong Kong.//The flexible credit unit system allows a balance between depth with breadth, and a high degree off ree choice of students in designing their own learning.The mufti-faceted education at CUHK helps to bring out the best in every student.//

七、社會熱點

中國夢：幾千年的中國文化充實著中國夢，同時，過去三十幾年的改革開放也激勵著中國夢。中國夢最顯著的特征是包容性和雙贏合作。這些也是使中國夢擴大它的全球影響范圍和被其他國家的人民認可的基本特征。中國夢是民族復興的夢。它是建設一個強大繁榮的國家，給中國人民帶來幸福生活的夢。中國夢需要維持穩定健康的經濟發展，科學管理社會，以及有效應對外部發展的風險和挑戰。The Chinese dream has been enriched by thousands of years of Chinese culture and inspired among other things by the past three decades of reform and opening-up.The most noticeable features of the Chinese dream include inclusiveness and win-win cooperation.These are the very features that will enable the Chinese dream to expand its global reach and be recognized by people of other nations.The Chinese dream is the dream of national rejuvenation.It is the dream of building a powerful and prosperous state, a dream of bringing happiness in the lives of the Chinese people.It entails sustaining steady and healthy economic growth, scientifically managing the Chinese society, and effectively responding to the risks and challenges of external development.中國經濟：中國將進一步發展經濟、擴大開放，這對海外企業（enterprises）意味著更多的商機。改革開放以來，中國企業與海外企業一直積極開展經濟技術合作，并取得了巨大成就。海外企業不僅幫助了中國企業的成長，而且也在合作中獲得了收益。中國政府將繼續提供有利的政策和條件，推動中國企業與國外企業進一步開展合作。

China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world,which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening upChinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology and have scored great achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises.中國消費：假日經濟的現象表明：中國消費者的消費觀正在發生巨大變化。根據統計數據，中國消費者的消費需求正在從基本生活必需品轉向對休閑、舒適和個人發展的需求。同時，中國人的消費觀在蓬勃發展的假日經濟中正變得成熟。因此產品結構應做相應調整，來適應社會的發展。另一方面，服務質量要改善，以滿足人們提高生活質量的要求。

The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of

life

to

leisure，comfort

and

personal development.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.中國城市化：中國城市化(urbanization)將會充分釋放潛在內需（domestic demand)。一些經濟學家指出，在中國幾乎所有的發展中城市都面臨 著城市化的進程。這使得許多人的生活水平有所提高，也為人們提 供更多的就業機會。隨著越來越多的人向城市遷徙，住房及城市基 礎設施建設(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供應將會 成為城市發展的焦點問題。商品與服務的自由、快速流通是城市化 社會的一項基本特征。逐漸擴張的城市需要更多的零售店來滿足消 費者的需求。

China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand.Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country.It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities.The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities.Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city.But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation.The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society.Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.大學生就業：許多剛畢業的大學生找不到工作，在校學生則擔心他們的未來。多個調查顯示，三分之二的中國畢業生想在政府或者國有企業工作，而不是為中國令人矚目的經濟增長提供動力的民營企業。政府和國 有企業被認為能免受經濟蕭條的影響。如今幾乎沒有大學生愿意放 棄政府的鐵飯碗而下海、加入初創企業或自己創業。

Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students are fearful about their future.Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms，which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China’s remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate.Few college stu?dents today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.環境問題：過去10年，海平面升高和森林看法的速度都是前所未有的；生態惡化、物種滅絕、臭氧層被破壞、溫室效應、酸雨等一系列環境問題已經嚴重影響到人類的生存環境。// 環境惡化造成的問題之一就是缺水。目前全世界 40%以上的人口，即 20 多億人，面臨缺水問題。據預測，未來 25 年全球人口將有 60 億增長到 80 億，環境保護面臨更大的壓力。// 中國作為一個發展中國家，面臨著發展經濟和保護環境的雙重任務。從國情出發，中國在全面推進現代化的過程中，將環境保護視為一項基本國策。// 眾所周知，對生態環境和生物多樣性的保護是環保工作的重點。我國野生動植物物種豐富，僅脊椎動物就有 6000 多種左右，高等植物 3 萬多種。//

Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade.A series of environmental problems such s the deterioration of ecosystem, the extinction of bio-species,damage to the ozone layer, the green-house effect, acid rain, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems, namely, water shortage.Presently, more than 40% of the world’s population, more than 2 billion people, now face water shortage.It is predicted hat with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years, more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.As a developing country, china is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Proceeding from its national conditions, china has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.// It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work.China is rich in wildlife species.There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000species of higher plants

亞洲發展：近代以來，亞洲經歷了曲折和艱難的發展歷程。亞洲人們為改變自己的命運，始終以不屈的意志和艱辛的奮斗開辟前進道路。今天，人們所看到的亞洲發展成就，是勤勞智慧的亞洲人民不屈不撓、鍥而不舍奮斗的結果。亞洲人民深知，世界上沒有放之四海而皆準的發展模式，也沒有一成不變的發展道路，亞洲人民勇于變革創新，不斷開拓進取，探索和開辟適應時代潮流，符合自身實際的發展道路，為經濟社會發展打開了廣闊前景。

In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia re fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.英語翻譯常考的中國文化詞匯

第二篇：新時代英語傳統文化翻譯

英語翻譯

Unit 1Book 3.中國傳統節日以中國的農歷為依據。農歷年的歲首稱為春節，俗稱“過年”，有祈年等多種習俗，是中國人民最隆重的傳統節日，象征團結興旺。其他主要的節日有元宵節、清明節、端午節、七夕節、中秋節、重陽節、冬至節、臘八節等等。各個節日都有其來源講究和風俗習慣。農歷節日與農歷中的二十四節氣不同。農歷節日是中華民族凝聚力和生命力的體現

Traditional Chinese festivals are usually fixed to the Lunar calendar.January 1st on the lunar calendar has been designated as the Spring Festival(generally referred to as guonian).There are several customs during the Spring Festival, such as praying for a good harvest, etc.The Spring Festival is the most ceremonious traditional festival in China and symbolizes unity and prosperity.Some other significant Chinese festivals include the Lantern Festival, the Pure Bright Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival.the Double-Seventh Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double-Ninth Festival, the Winter Solstice, and the Eight Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month, etc.Each festival has its own unique origin and custom.These Chinese festivals that follow the Lunar calendar are different from the 24 Solar Terms in the Lunar calendar.They embody China's cohesion and vitality.Unit 3Book3.中國古代四大藝術“琴棋書畫” 的畫特指國畫。其繪畫形式是用毛筆蘸水、墨、顏料作畫于絹、帛、宣紙之上，古代稱之為水墨丹青。為區別于西方的油畫而稱之為“中國畫”，簡稱“國畫”。其題材有人物、山水、花鳥等。技法可分為工筆和寫意。國畫的藝術特質在于“筆墨”，強調以形寫神，畫盡意在。國畫在藝術創作上反映了中化民族的審美意識和情趣。

The four art forms in ancient China are guqin, chess, penmanship, and painting.And painting particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting.Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on silk or xuan paper.In ancient China, it was called “ink-painting.” In order to distinguish it from Western oil-paintings, the Chinese people term their works “traditional Chinese painting”(abbreviated to “Chinese painting”.)The subject matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers.The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms: fine brushwork and free-hand brushwork.The artistic characteristics lie in “the writing brush and ink.” Chinese painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter.Even though a painting is a finished product, it endlessly conveys a meaning.In terms of the artistic creation, traditional Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese people.5.中國石窟

中國石窟組要反映的是佛教文化藝術。敦煌莫高窟、大同云岡石窟、洛陽龍門石窟、天水麥積山石窟，號稱中國四大石窟藝術景觀。佛教石窟隨山雕鑿、彩繪，形象生動自然，將崇尚美與世俗情融為一體，把天然造化與人工創造有機結合，是由建筑、繪畫、雕塑等組成的博大精深、絢麗奪目的綜合藝術殿堂。其藝術成就為世界矚目，已成為重要的世界文化遺產。Chinese Grottoes

Chinese grottoes mainly reflect the art of Buddhist culture.In China，there are four major art landscape of grottoes:the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Yungang Grottoes at Datong, the Longmen Grottoes at Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes at Tianshui.Carved and painted on mountains, the Buddhist grottoes mingle both sublimity and secular feelings together, presenting us a vivid and natural appearance.They embody the systematic combination of both the exceptional artistry of great nature and the extremely fine craftsmanship of mankind.The Chinese Buddhist Grottoes are regarded as a profound and stunning general art gallery, which are composed of architecture, painting, sculptures, etc.The artistic achievements of Chinese grottoes have attracted the attention of the world, and have become important international cultural heritage.Unit 7Book3.中藥主要由植物藥（根、莖、葉、果）、動物藥（內臟、皮、骨、器官）和礦物藥組成。因以植物藥為主，故也稱中草藥。中藥的應用理論獨特，認為中藥有四氣五味?！八臍狻敝杆幮缘摹昂疅釡貨觥?，“五味”指“辛酸甘苦咸”。中國人探索中草藥已有幾千年的歷史，如今中醫藥及其診療方法已傳播到世界各地。

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly consists of plant medicine(roots, stems, leaves, fruits), animal medicine(viscera, skins, bones, organs), and mineral medicine.Chinese herbal medicine is based on plant medicine.According to the unique application

theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that it contains “ four natures and five flavors.” “Four Natures” refers to the properties of “coldness, heat, mildness, and coolness,” while “five flavors” refers to the properties of being

“pungent, sour, sweet, bitter, and salty.” It is said that Chinese people have been conducting research into herbal medicine for thousands of years.Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine and its therapeutic methods have extensively been spread to the far corners of the globe.Unit 1 Book 4

剪紙

剪紙又叫刻紙，窗花或剪畫。剪紙在紙的發明之前就已經流行，當時人們運用金箔，絹帛，皮革等片狀材料，通過鏤空雕刻的技法制成工藝品。漢代（前206-公元220），紙張的發明促使了剪紙的發展與普及。民間剪紙的題材多來源于現實生活，充滿納福迎祥的主題，表達對美好生活的向往。

Paper cutting(otherwise known as jianzhi)is also called kezhi, chuanghua or jianhua.Paper cutting was popular even before paper was invented.When there was no paper, people carved on gold leaf, silk , feathers , and so on, with a carving technique known as hollow-cutting to make handicrafts.In the Han Dynasty(206BC-220AD), the invention of paper promoted the development and popularity of paper-cutting.The folk themes of the paper-cutting are rooted in real life, filled with the themes of enjoying a life of ease and comfort, and expressing the desire for a happy life.Unit3 Book 4 中國象棋

中國象棋早在戰國時期（前475-前221）就有記載，最初稱為六博，用象牙做成，到了北宋（960-1127）末期定型為近代模式。棋盤為九豎十橫線畫成的長方形平面，是中國封建社會制度和文化的縮影——有軍中帳（九宮）、士位（士，仕），文官（象，相），武將（車，馬，炮），士兵（兵、卒）。是世界四大棋類（中國圍棋、中國象棋、國際象棋、日本將棋）之一.The earliest records of Chinese chess can be traced back to the Warring States Period(475BC-221BC).The early-stage Chinese chess was composed of six pieces carved out of ivory, and was therefore called “Six Boxing”.Its final form of play was fixed at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty(960AD-1127AD)after a long period of development.The chessboard is a rectangular board that is 9 lines wide by 10 lines long.Composed of marshal or general , advisors(scholar or official), civil officials(elephant or minister), military officers(chariots, horses, and cannons),and soldiers(soldiers or pawns), Chinese chess is Chinese social institution and culture in miniature.It is also one of the four most popular chess games in the world, the other three being the Chinese Weiqi, the game of chess, and shogi(or general’s chess)

Unit 5Book 4 中國書法

中國古代四大藝術“琴棋書畫”的“書”特指書法。它是用毛筆書寫篆、隸、行、楷、草等各種漢字的藝術。中國書法在技法上講究筆法、墨法、章法等，其藝術的和諧之美體現在字里行間。隸書的蠶頭燕尾，楷書的中規中矩，草書的龍飛鳳舞，行書的瀟灑飄逸，可謂異彩紛呈，千姿百態。中國書法體現了中華民族豪爽大氣、端莊含蓄的特點。Chinese Calligraphy The four ancient Chinese artistic forms are called guqin, chess, penmanship, and painting;and penmanship particularly refers to the Chinese calligraphy.Chinese calligraphy is a kind of art using a brush to write seal script, official script, regular script, cursive script, grass script, and other various writing styles of Chinese characters.The writing techniques of Chinese calligraphy are highlighted by the manner of using a brush, the way ink is used, the art of composition, and so on.Its harmonious beauty of art is reflected in between the lines.Chinese calligraphy exhibits its beauty in different poses, such as the uniqueness of the official script’s “silkworm head and swallow tail”, the regular script’s requirement to “stick to the norm and rules”, the characteristics of grass script’s “flying dragons and dancing phoenixes”, and the distinctive “natural grace” of the cursive script.Indeed, Chinese calligraphy reflects the personality of Chinese people’s straightforwardness, dignity, and reticence.Unit 7 Book 4十二生肖

十二生肖是中國用十二種動物所組成的記年方法。我國自古就有“干支紀年法”，而我國西北地區游牧的少數民族則以動物紀年，兩種紀年法相互融合，形成了現在的十二生肖，即：子鼠，丑牛，寅虎，卯兔，辰龍，巳蛇，午馬，未羊，申猴，酉雞，戌狗，亥豬。屬相的基本意義在于使人們圓融通達，和衷共濟。The Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese Zodiac is the Chinese way of numbering the years.It attributes an animal to each year, according to a 12-year cycle.Since ancient times, the Chinese people began to use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record the passing of years.At the same time, Chinese nomadic people(騾馬迪克)who lived in northwest China instead used animals to number the years.The two ways of numbering the years were smoothly integrated, and the Chinese Zodiac took shape.The 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.The meaning of the symbolic animal of the birth year is that it can make people magnanimous and be of one mind in times of difficulty.

第三篇：段落翻譯(中國傳統文化)

一、Chinese Dragon

對龍圖騰他的崇拜在中國大約已綿延了八千多年。中國龍是古人將魚、蛇、馬、牛等動物與云霧、雷電等自然天象集合而成的一種神物。中國龍的形成與中華民族的多元融合過程同步。在中國人的心目中，龍具有振奮騰飛、開拓變化的寓意和團結凝聚的精神。

Dragon totem worship in China has been around for the last 8,000 years.The ancients in China considered the dragon(or loong)a fetish that combines animals including the fish, snake, horse and ox with cloud, thunder, lightning and other natural celestial phenomena.The Chinese dragon was formed in accordance with the multicultural fusion process of the Chinese nation.To the Chinese, the dragon signifies innovation and cohesion.二、Yangko

秧歌舞是中國漢族的一種民間傳統舞蹈，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，他們的表演動作有力迅速。在農歷春節、元宵節等節日期間，人們一旦聽到鑼鼓聲，不管外面天氣有多冷，他們都會蜂擁到街上看秧歌舞表演。近年來，中國東北某些城市的老年人自發組織了了秧歌隊，隊員常年通過跳秧歌舞來保持健康，同事他們也樂在其中。

Yangko is one of tradition folk dance of Han in China.It is usually performed in northern provinces.The dancers usually wear colorful and light costumes, and the performance is powerful and rapid.During some festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantein Festival, if people hear the sound of drum and gong, no matter how cold the weather is , they will come to street and appreciate the Yangko.Recent years, the old people in city of east-northern of China organized the team of Yangko by themselves, the teamers keep their health by dancing Yangko the whole year.三、The Great Wall

長城是人類創造的世界奇跡之一。如果你到了中國卻沒去過長城，就想到了巴黎沒有去看看菲爾鐵塔，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?！睂嶋H上，長城最初只是一些斷斷續續的城墻，直到秦朝統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，西至嘉峪關——大部分都是在明代修建的。

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings!If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower;or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids!Men often say, “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 Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.四、Dumplings

餃子是深受中國人民喜愛的傳統食品。相傳為古代醫圣張仲景發明。餃子的制作是包括： 1）搟皮、2）備餡、3）包餡水煮三個步驟。其特點是皮薄餡嫩，味道鮮美，形狀獨特，百食不厭。民間有“好吃不過餃子”的俗語。中國人接親待客、逢年過節都有包餃子吃的習俗，寓意吉利。對崇尚親情的中國人來說，“更歲交子”吃餃子，更是歡度除夕、辭舊迎新必不可少的內容。

Dumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes.According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint---Zhang Zhongjing.There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1)make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour;2)prepare the dumpling stuffing;3)make dumplings and boil them.With thin and elastic dough skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times.There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”.During the Spring Festival and other holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings.To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new year.五、Acupuncture

針灸是中醫學的重要組成部分。按照中醫的經絡理論，針灸療法主要是通過疏通經絡、調和氣血，來達到陰陽歸于平衡，使臟腑趨于調和之目的。其特點是“內病外治”。主要療法是用針刺入病人身體的一定穴位，或用艾火的溫熱刺激燒灼病人的穴位，以達到刺激經絡。治療病痛的目的。針灸以其獨特的優勢，流傳至今并傳播到了世界，與中餐、功夫、中藥一起被海外譽為中國的“新四大國粹”。

Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).In accordance with the “main and collateral channels” theory in TCM, the purpose of acupuncture is to dredge the channel and regulate qi and blood, so as to keep the body’s yin and yang balanced and achieve reconciliation between the internal organs.It features in traditional Chinese medicine that “internal diseases are to be treated with external therapy”.The main therapy of acupuncture involves using needles to pierce certain acupoints of the patient’s body, or adopting moxibustion to stimulate the patient’s acupoints so as to stimulate the channels and relieve pain.With its unique advantages, acupuncture has been handed down generation after generation and has now spread all over the world.Nowadays, acupuncture, along with Chinese food, kung fu(otherwise known as Chinese martial arts), and traditional Chinese medicine, has been internationally hailed as one of the “four new national treasures.”

六、Chinese Kung Fu

中國功夫即中國武術，是將技擊寓于搏斗和套路運動之中的中國傳統體育項目，承載著豐富的中華民族傳統文化。其核心思想是儒家的中和養氣之說，同時兼容了道家、釋家的思想。中國武術源遠流長、流派林立、拳種繁多，講究剛柔并濟、內外兼修，蘊含著先哲們對生命和宇宙的參悟。后世所稱十八般武藝，主要指：徒手拳藝，如太極拳、形意拳、八卦掌等；器械功夫，如刀槍劍戟、斧鉞鉤叉等。

Chinese kung fu, or Chinese martial arts, carries traditional Chinese culture in abundance.It is a traditional Chinese sport which applies the art of attack and defence in combat and the motions engaged with a series of skill and tricks.The core idea of Chinese king fu is derived from the Confucian theory of both “the mean and harmony” and “cultivating qi”(otherwise known as nourishing one’s spirit).Meanwhile, it also includes thoughts of Taoism and Buddhism.Chinese kung fu has a long history, with multi-various sects and many different boxing styles, and emphasizes coupling hardness with softness and internal and external training.It contains the ancient great thinkers’ pondering of life and the universe.The skills in wielding the 18 kinds of weapons named by the later generations mainly involve the skills of bare-handed boxing, such as shadow boxing(Taijiquan), form and will boxing(Xingyiquan), eight trigram palm(Baguazhang), and the skills of kung fu weaponry, such as the skill of using swords, spears, two-edged swords and halberds, axes, tomahawks, kooks, prongs and so on.七、Chinese characters

漢字是從原始人用以記事的簡單圖畫，經過不斷演變發展最終成為一種兼具音、形、意韻的獨特文字?，F存中國古代最早成熟的文字是甲骨文，被認為是現代漢字的初形。此后，漢字又經歷了金文、隸書、楷書、草書、行書等不同的階段。漢字結構“外圓內方“，源于古人”天圓地方“的觀念。漢字有五種基本筆畫，即：橫、豎、撇、捺、折。

Chinese characters were initially meant to be simple pictures used to help people remember things.After a long period of development, it finally became a unique character system that embodies phonetic sound, image, idea, and rhyme at the same time.The writing system, which was extremely advanced in ancient times, began with inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells, and these are regarded as the original forms of Chinese characters.Afterwards, Chinese characters went through numerous calligraphic styles: bronze inscriptions, official script, regular script, cursive script, running script, etc.Chinese characters are usually round outside and square inside, which is rooted in ancient Chinese beliefs of an orbicular sky and a rectangular Earth.The five basic strokes of Chinese characters are “---“(the horizontal stroke)“│”(the vertical stroke), “／”(the left-falling stroke), “＼”(the right-falling stroke), and “乙”(the turning stroke).八、Chinese Chopsticks

中國人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界上獨樹一幟。有史記載用筷的歷史已有三千多年?？曜庸艜r稱為箸，它看似簡單，但卻同時具有夾、撥、挑、扒、拌、撮、戳、撕等多種功能。中國民間視筷子為吉祥之物，如婚俗中將筷子隱喻為快生貴子的祝福等。與使用刀叉以及手抓的 方式不同，成雙結對的筷子含有“和為貴“的意蘊。西方人贊譽筷子是古老的東方文明。

The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in the world.The recorded history of chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago.Chopsticks were named zhu in ancient Chinese.They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions, such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, and so on.Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient China.For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon.Unlike using a knife and fork or one’s own hands, a pair of chopsticks also implies the meaning of “Harmony is what matters”.Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.九、Chinese Seal

印章就是圖章。中國歷代官、私所用的印章有印信、朱記、合同、符、契等等不同的稱謂，而帝王所用的印章古時稱璽、印、寶、章等。據史料記載，印章在戰國時代已普遍使用。印章的制作是將篆隸等字體、圖像用陰、陽的形式雕刻而成，形狀以圓、方為主。印章用朱色 鈐蓋，除日常應用外，又多用于書畫題識，逐漸成為中國特有的藝術形式之一。

A seal can also be defined as a stamp.Both the Chinese official and private seal of various dynasties have different titles, such as stamp, zhu note, contract, fu, lease and others.The seals used by the emperors of ancient China were called xi, yin, bao, etc.According to historical records, seals were widely used during the Warring States Period(475BC-221BC).The making of a seal is to engrave fonts, such as seal characters and official script and so on;or images in the form of intaglio and embossment into the seal, basically shaped as round or square.Covered with a vermilion overlay, the Chinese seal is not only used in daily life, but it is also used to represent signatures on paintings and calligraphies.It is gradually becoming one of China’s unique artworks.十、Chinese Era

天干地支是中國歷法中用以記錄和命名年歲的方法。十天干為：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、已、庚、辛、壬、癸；十二地支為：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戊、亥。古人觀測朔望月，發現月亮圓缺12次大體上是一年的天數，而兩個朔望月約是60天。古人以十天干與十二地支的順序依次相配，記錄不同年份，60年為一個輪回。干支紀年法從古沿用至今。按干支紀年法，2011年便是辛卯年。

The Chinese era is the symbol that the Chinese calendar uses for recording and naming years.The ten Heavenly Stems are: jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren, gui.The twelve Earthly Branches are: zi.chou, yin, mou, chen, si, wu, wei, shen, you, xu, hai.After observing the lunar month, the ancients found that the moon always wazes and wanes roughly 12 times a year, and two lunar months account for about 60 days, so the order of the ten Heavenly Stems and the order of the twelve Earthly Branches are properly matched in turn.In terms of recording date, 60 years is considered to be a full time cycle.The Chinese era chronology was first invented in ancient times and is still in use now.according to the chronology of the “ten Heavenly Stems,” 2011 is the year of “the seventh of the ten Heavenly Stems” and “ the fifth of the twelve Earthly Branches”.十一、Chinese Beijing Opera

京劇被譽為“東方歌劇”，是地道的中國國粹。它起源于中國多種古老的地方戲劇，特別是南方的“徽班”。到了19世紀末，京劇形成并成為中國最大的戲曲劇種。京劇是綜合性表演藝術，集唱（歌唱）、念（念白）、做（表演）、打（武）、舞（舞蹈）為一體，通過程式化的表演手段，敘述故事，刻畫人物。角色主要分生（男性）、旦（女性）、凈（男性）、丑（男性女性皆有）四大行當。

Praised as “Oriental Opera”, Beijing Opera is a genuine national quintessence of China.It originated from many kinds of ancient local operas, especially huiban in southern China.At the end of the 19th Century, Beijing Opera evolved and took shape, becoming the greatest kind of opera in China.Beijing Opera is a blend of performing arts---song, speech, performance, acrobatix fighting and dance.Beijing Opera portrays and narrates the plot and characters through stylized acting.The main types of roles in Beijing Opera are sheng(male), dan(young female), jing(painted face, male), and chou(clown, male or female).十二、Chinese Taoism

道教是中國土生土長長的宗教。創始人是春秋末期的哲學家、思想家老子。道教以老子所著的《道德經》為主要經典。道教主張“重人貴生”。崇尚清靜無為，修身養性。“道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名。無名天地之始；有名萬物之母。故常無，欲以觀其妙；常有，欲以觀其徼”便是老子的至理名言。

Taoism first originated in China.The founder of Taoism is Laozi, a philosopher and thinker who lived in the late Spring and Autumn Period(770BC-476BC).Tao Te Ching whose authorship has been attributed to Laozi, is considered to be the main Taoist classic.Taoism advocates the value of a human being’s life, recommends the discarding of all desires and worries from one’s mind, and encourages the cultivation of moral character and the nourishment of human nature.The following is an example of Laozi’s golden saying: The way that can be told of is not an unvarying way;The names that can be named are not unvarying names.It was from the nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang;The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand creatures, each after its kind.Truly, only he that rids himself forever of desire can see the secret essences;He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the outcomes.十三、Chinese Idioms

中國成語是漢語中意義完整的表示一般概念的固定詞組或短語?！俺烧Z”中的“成”既是約定俗成。成語是比詞大而語法功能又相當于詞的語言單位。絕大多數的中國成語由四個漢字組成，例如：自強不息、青出于藍、厚積薄發。成語主要從民間諺語、古代文學作品、詩歌、寓言、典故、名言警句等方面提煉而成，是漢語語言中精煉而又富有生命力的一部分。

Chinese idioms refer to comprehensive and integrated fixed phrases and expressions.Idioms are established and accepted by constant usage and common practice.An idiom is a language unit that is larger than a word, but has the same grammatical function as a word.Most Chinese idioms consist of four characters.For example, ziqiangbuxi(make unremitting efforts to improve oneself), qingchuyulan(bluer than indigo), and houjibofa(success comes with time and effort).Idioms are extrated from folk proverbs, ancient works of literature, poems, fables, allusions, and well-known sayings.Idioms are a part of the Chinese language that are concise and have great vitality.十四、Chinese silk

中國是絲綢的故鄉。栽桑、養蠶、繅絲、織綢是中國古代人民的偉大發明。商周時期絲綢的生產技術就已發展到相當高的水平。西漢時張騫通西域，把中原與波斯灣、地中海緊密聯系起來，開辟了中外交流貿易的新紀元。從此中國的絲綢以其卓越的品質、精美的花色和豐富的文化內涵聞名于世，成為中國文化的象征。東方文明的使者。

China is the home of silk.Mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling and thickening are all great inventions of the ancient Chinese.As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties(1600BC-256BC), the Chinese people’s silk-weaving techniques had reached an extremely high level.During the Western Han Dynasty(206BC-25AD), Zhang Qian, an outstanding diplomat, travelled around central Asia and connected China with the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, opening up a new era of Sino-foreign trade, exchange and communication.From then on, China’s silk became well known for its extraordinary quality, exquisite design and color, and abundant culture connotations.Hitherto, Chinese silk has been accepted as a symbol of Chinese culture and the emissary of oriental civilization.十五、Chinese Classical Garden

中國園林是把人造的山水、植物、建筑等與自然地貌有機結合的環境藝術，是我國古代建筑藝術的珍寶。其建造原則是“妙極自然，宛自天開”。游賞中國古典園林，能充分領略“假自然之景，創山水真趣”的園林意境。在世界三大園林體系中，中國園林歷史悠久、內涵豐富，被譽為世界造園史上的淵源之一。

The Chinese classical garden is a precious treasure of our ancient Chinese architecture.It is a kind of environment art, which systematically combines artificial mountains and rivers, plants and buildings with the natural landscape.The construction standard of a Chinese classical garden is “artificial as it is, the garden must look ingenious and natural.” When you go sightseeing in a Chinese classical garden, you should be able to appreciate its artistic concept which “makes use of the natural landscape to create the real fun of mountains and rivers for viewers.” Of the world’s three major garden systems, the Chinese classical garden is hailed as one of the origins of the world’s garden due to its long history and abundant connotations.十六、The Four Treasures of the Study

筆墨紙硯是中國古代文人書房當中必備的寶貝，被稱為“文房四寶”。用筆墨書寫繪畫在中國可追溯到五千年前。秦時已用不同硬度的毛和竹管制筆；漢代以人工制墨替代了天然墨；有了紙張以后，簡牘錦帛逐失其用；硯臺則隨筆墨的使用而發展。“文房四寶”到宋朝以后特指湖筆、徽墨、宣紙、端硯。可以說文房四寶書寫了整個中華文明。

The writing brush, ink stick, ink stone, and paper were requisite treasures in the study of the scholars of ancient China, and they are often referred to as the “Four Treasures of the Study.” The writing brush and ink stick have been used by the Chinese to write and paint since 5,000 years ago.In the Qin Dynasty(221BC---206BC), people already used feathers of different hardness and bamboo trunks to make brushes.During the Han Dynasty(206BC-220AD), man-made ink was used instead of natural ink.After paper was invented by the Chinese, bamboo slips, wooden tablets, brocade and silk, which originally functioned as writing surfaces, gradually faded out.The ink stone was first developed with the use of writing brushes and ink.After the Song Dynasty(960AD---1279AD), the “Four Treasure of the Study” particularly referred to hubi, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang province;huimo, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, Anhui province;xuan paper, a kind of paper produced in Xuanzhou, Anhui province;and duanyan, the ink stone made in Zhaoqing, Guangdong province(Zhaoqing was earlier called Duanzhou).Indeed, the Four Treasures of the Study” have writtin the whole Chinese civilization, as it is.十七、Paper cutting

剪紙是中國最為流行的傳統民間藝術形式之一。中國剪紙有一千 五百多年的歷史，在明朝和清朝時期特別流行。人們常用剪紙美化居家環境。特別是在春 節和婚慶期間，剪紙被用來裝飾門窗和房 間，以增加喜慶的氣氛。剪紙最常用的顏色是紅色，象征健康和興旺。中國剪紙在 世界各地很受歡迎，經常被用作饋贈外國 友人的禮物。

獅舞（Lion Dance）是中國最廣為流傳的民間舞蹈之一。獅為百獸之首，在中國傳統中，獅子被視為是能帶來好運的吉祥物（mascot）。古人將獅子視作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驅趕邪惡、保護人類。據記載，獅舞已擁有了2,000多年的歷史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），獅舞就已經被引入了皇室。因此，舞獅成為元宵節（the Lantern Festival）和其他節日的習俗，人們以此來祈禱好運、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.十九、The Duanwu Festival

端午節，又叫龍舟節，是為了紀念愛國詩人屈原。屈原是一位忠誠和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他給國家帶來了和平和繁榮。但最后因為受到誹謗（vilify）而最終投河自盡。人們撐船到他自盡的地方，拋下粽子，希望魚兒吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身軀。幾千年來，端午節的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和賽龍舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.二十、hutong 北京有無數的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活給古都北京帶來了無窮的魅力。北京的胡同不僅僅 是平民百姓的生活環境，而且還是一門建筑藝術。通常，胡同內有一個大雜院，房間夠4到10個家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以，胡同里的生活充滿了友善和人情味。如今，隨著社會和經濟的飛速發展，很多胡同被新的高樓大 廈所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下來。

In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs.The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing.The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture.Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people.Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity.Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings.I hope hutongs can be preserved.二

【中國新年禁忌】：

Dos and Donts of Chinese New Year Do's: Wish everyone you meet a happy New Year by saying “gong xi fa cai”, which translates to: “Have a happy and prosperous New Year!” 對每一個你遇到的人道一聲：“恭喜發財”，翻譯成英文就是：“在新的一年里擁有幸福繁榮的生活”；

Wear articles of red clothing because red symbolizes luck.穿紅色布料做成的飾品，因為紅色昭示著幸運；

Eat vegetarian food because it's not good to see blood.吃素食，因為見血是不吉利的；

Buy new trousers because the Chinese word for trousers is “fu”,(Chinese homonym for wealth)買新褲子（衣服），因為漢語里褲子就是“服”，（在漢語里與財富的“富”諧音）；

Children should stay up as late as possible on New Year's Eve for it is believed that the later they stay up, the longer their parents will live.孩子應該在除夕之夜盡可能晚睡、熬夜因為據說他們睡的越晚，他們的父母越長壽；

Visit family(especially those older than yourself)and friends to pass on your wishes on good fortune for the New Year.(plus kids and single people will receive lai-see lucky red packets full of money.拜訪親戚朋友（尤其是比你年長的），傳遞你對他們來年幸福的美好祝愿（另外孩子和單身的人將會得到裝滿錢的幸運紅包，稱為“來喜”。）

Give two lai see to each child.Because happiness comes in two's, do not just give one.This is your way of passing good luck to the next generation.Business owners also give lai see to employees and associates.給每個孩子兩份“來喜”（我覺得應該指錢是偶數的），因為好事成雙，不要只給一份。這是你把祝愿傳遞給下一代的方法。企業主（老板）也要給員工和同事紅包。

Don'ts: Don't wear white or black clothing, since they are the traditional colours of mourning.不要穿白色或黑色服裝，因為這是傳統意義上喪事的顏色；

Don't wash your hair for the first three days of the New Year, because the Chinese word for hair is a homonym for the Chinese word for wealth.Therefore, Chinese believe it isn't a good thing to 'wash away your wealth' right at the start of the New Year.在新年的前三天里不要洗頭，因為漢語里“頭發”的“發”和“發財”的“發”同音。因此，中國認為在新年伊始把財富給沖走可不是好兆頭。

Floors may not be swept and garbage may not be disposed of on the first day of the New Year for fear of casting riches out the door.在新年第一天，不拖地，不扔垃圾，因為怕把“財”給送走了；

拜年 Pay a New Year Call

An important activity during the Spring Festival is bainian（to pay a New Year call）.People start to pay New Year calls from the lunar New Year's Day，that is，the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar.Ever since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century，ordinary people have begun to exchange greeting cards on this day.On the morning of the lunar New Year's Day，people get up very early and call on others.The earlier one does so，the more sincere he is.Moreover，people wear new clothes and a new cap，symbolizing that a new year has begun.The younger generation should call on their elders first，such as the grandfather，grandmother，father and mother，wishing them “Good health” and “Long life”.Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift.After that，people call on their relatives，friends and neighbors.As “big tangerine” is a homonym for “very lucky” in Chinese，so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call.Nowadays，besides greeting cards，people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls.一、藝術 1.畫類 壁畫 mural 國畫 Chinese traditional painting 水墨畫 ink and wash painting 絹畫 silk painting 木刻畫 wood engraving 版畫 engraving 貝雕畫 shell carving painting 年畫 new year picture 2.陶器類
