1、1.在17世紀和18世紀，中國的藝術、建筑和哲學在西方很受欣賞。此外，中國的絲綢、茶葉和瓷器在西方也備受欣賞，并在一定程度上改變了許多西方人的生活方式。進入20世紀后期，西方人再次轉向中國文化。他們除了喜歡中國菜肴外，還學習漢語，嘗試中國醫藥，練習中國武術，觀看功夫電影。In the 17th and 18th centuries，Chinese art，architecture and philosophy were very much admired in the WestIn addition，Chinese silk，tea and porcelain were enjoyed a g

5、相伴的歌謠跟口頭流傳的神話，遠在文字出現之前就已大量產生。中國的文學正是發端于此。不過歌謠本是人們在生活中隨興而發的東西，上古時代也沒有保存和記載它們的手段，因之也就很快湮滅，不留痕跡。我們只能從一些古籍書中推斷它們的存在。古書中記載了一些據稱年代非常久遠的歌謠，但是大多出于后人的偽托，能夠斷定朝代的歌謠要到詩經里才能看見。從這點來看，古代神話對中國文學的影響更為顯著。 Long before the emergence of the written word, ballads, accompa

21、人的時候，其實也是在幫助我們自己。An inflated ego blinds us to the fact that we are all living together on the same boat. The fortunes of other affects our well-being. The misfortune of others does not bring us happiness. On the contrary, helping others is in fact, helping ourselves.9.相對而言，要求沒有受過教育的人節約資源比較困難。他們往往認為資

34、的人來說，眼前總有一番新天地。雖然我們蝸居于這顆小行星上，整日忙于瑣事且生命短暫，但我們生來就有不盡的希望，如天上繁星，遙不可及。只要生命猶在，希望便會不止。真正的幸福在于怎樣開始，而不是如何結束，在于我們的希冀，而并非擁有。We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.

36、 and not of what we have.15.聘金是中國傳統習俗的一部分。這一習慣在整個中國都很普遍。但是近幾年來其標準不斷上升，致使大多數家庭都很難達到。高額的聘禮常常“搶劫”了新郎父母必生的積蓄，甚至引起家庭糾紛。此外，許多新婚夫婦被迫舉行奢侈的婚禮宴會，在這個過程中，大量債務的累積可能使他們的新婚生活變得辛酸，至少在最初階段是這樣。想想老一輩節儉的婚禮，雖然簡簡單單，但也幸福美滿，沒有給他們婚后的生活帶來任何負擔。Endowment may be part of Chinese tradition, but the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The high endowment amounts often rob grooms parents of their lifes savings and causes family disputes. Besides, many newly m
