昨天的中国，是一个古老并且床创造了灿烂文明的大国。中华民族的传统文化博大精深、源远流长。早在2000多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的儒家学说和以老庄为代表的道家学说，以及其他许多也在中国思想史上有地位的学说流派，这就是有名的“诸子百家”。从孔子到孙中山，中华民族传统文化有它的许多珍贵品，许多人民性和民主性的好东西。

China yesterday was a big ancient country that created a splendid civilization. Traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long , long course. More than 2,000years ago, there emerged in china Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories without uniformity and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese culture thought, all being covered by the famous term “ the masters’ hundred schools”. From Confucius to Dr. Dun Yatsen, traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic.

家庭是社会的基本单位，它的结构随着社会的发展而变化。

在中国几千年的封建社会里，自给自足的小农经济占主导地位，家庭不仅是日常生活的基本单位，也是生产单位。理想的、令人羡慕的家庭是五世同堂，家里的大事由男人做主。近百年来，中国发生了巨大变化，中国社会经过漫长的封建时期，半封建、半殖民地时期进入了社会主义社会。这具有历史意义的变化使中国家庭的结构也改变了。人口众多的大家庭开始分成较小的家庭和直系家庭，总的趋势是出现了越来越多的核心家庭。?The structure of the family, which is a basic unit of the society, changes along with the development of the society. In China's feudal society which lasted several thousand years, a self-sufficient small peasant economy predominated. The family was not only the basic unit in everyday life, but also a basic unit of production.

An ideal family admired by all consisted of 5 generations, with the male members making all the important decisions. During the last hundred years, great changes have taken place in China. The Chinese society, which had gone through the long feudal period, and later the semi-colonial, semi-feudal period, had turned into a socialist society. This historic change has led to changes in the Chinese family structure. Large families began to divide into smaller extended families and stem families, with the trend pointing toward the emergence of more and more nuclear families.

徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中，从不盲目迷信书本上的结论，从不把权威看作是真理的唯一基础。他发现人研究的地理记载中有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然的真相，他总是挑选道路艰险的山区、人迹稀少的森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景；他常常选择不同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景。他不仅善于观察，观察的精确、耐心、客观、而且对观察的结果锲而不舍地进行思考。?Xu Xiake toured and investigated 16 provinces in his lifetime, covering almost the whole of China/ the whole country. When he was carrying out his investigations, he never took blind belief in the conclusions in the books. Instead he found a lot of unreliable points in the geographic records taken by his predecessors. In order to make his investigations reliable and thorough, he seldom traveled by carriage or boat. Instead, he took long, arduous trips on foot almost all the time, climbing mountains and hills. In order to learn about the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous areas with dangerous roads and in lonely / untraveled woods, where he discovered a lot of

magnificent peaks and beautiful sights.

改革开放胆子要大一些，要敢于试验。冒一定的风险是必要的不冒点风险，办什么事情都有百分之百的把握，万无一失，谁敢说这样的话？一开始就自以为是，认为百分之百正确，没那回事。我就从来没那么认为。每年领导层都要总结经验，对的就坚持，不对的就丢掉或赶快改，新问题出来抓紧解决，无论是打仗还是搞改革，都经不起慢腾腾的决策。在很多情况下，都需要冒险试一试，然后一边前进一边改正自已的错误。恐怕再有三十年的时间，我们才会在各方面形成一整套更加成熟，更加定型的制度，在这个的方针，政策，也将更加定型化。

We must be courageous enough to venture on experiments as far as reforms are concerned. A certain amount of risk-taking is necessary. Who dares to claim that he is 100 percent sure of success right from the beginning and without taking any risk? There is no such thing as certainty. I have never had such notions as thinking I’m 100 percent correct. Every year leaders should review what they have done so as to hold to what works and discard what does not or take immediate corrective steps. We should lose no time in tackling them whenever new problems arise. No one can afford the luxury of slow decision-making

whether it involves fighting a battle or making a reform. In many cases you have to take a chance and correct your mistakes as you go along. I’m afraid that it may take another 30 years to establish

a set of more mature and more consistent system in all fields of

endeavor under which all policies will be more consistent too

长沙是一个有3000多年历史的美丽古城。城市的西边是秀美的岳麓山，山下有千年书院“岳麓书院”等众多古迹。市区中心的古城楼天心阁，距今有1000多年的历史。千百年来水质清纯，终年不断的白沙古井也坐落在长沙城中。今天的长沙市民还常常在这里打水饮用。湘江中的橘子洲头，是当年毛泽东先生经常漫步思考的地方，后来还写了一首非常著名的诗来赞美她。

Changsha is a beautiful ancient city with a history of over 3,000 years. West of the city is the beautiful Yuelu Hill, at the foot of the hill, are many historic sites such as Yuelu Academy. In the center of the city is the ancient city gate tower --Tianxin Tower, which was first built 1000 years ago. Also located in the city is the ancient Baisha Well, from which clear and pure water has been gushing out nonstop throughout the year for thousands of years.

Inhabitants in Changsha today still come here to fetch water for drinking. Orange Island in the Xiang River was where Mr. Mao

Zedong often rambled and meditated. Later he wrote a very famous poem in its praise.
