孔子(Confucius)是春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period)的大思想家、大教育家和儒家学派(Confucianism)的创始人,是古代中国人心目中的圣人。孔子的言论和生平活动记录在由他的弟子或再传弟子编成的《论语》(The Analects)一书中。《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作。在孔子之后几千年的中国历史上,没有哪一位思想家、文学家和政治家不受《论语》的影响。不研究《论语》,就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。

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.

大约在两千多年前,中国就出现了蜡染(wax printing)。在中国服饰中,蜡染是一种流传时间长、流行范围大、使用领域广的服装工艺。蜡染是在布匹着色的过程中,以蜂蜡(beeswax)作为防止染色的材料。蜂蜡干了之后,会产生一些裂纹,这些裂纹在染色过程中渗透进靛蓝色,于是形成了如冰花式样的美妙纹理。这样自然天成的纹理可以说是蜡染的灵魂所在。

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.

景泰蓝(cloisonné)是驰名中外的传统工艺,它集青铜艺术、瓷器和雕刻诸种工艺制作技巧于一身,是一门地道的北京绝活。它是收藏家收藏的佳品,也是人们居家使用的精美物品。这项工艺始创于明代景泰年间,初创时的颜色主要是蓝色,故得名“景泰蓝”。到了成化年间,景泰蓝技术进一步成熟,这个时期的作品沉稳凝重又透明灵动,而且铜胎也极为讲究。Cloisonnéis 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 cloisonnéfirst 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 cloisonnéwere 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.

西塘在浙江嘉兴,位于上海和杭州之间。这个占地规模并不大的古镇有着悠久的历史,它初建于春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),位于吴国和越国的交界处。西塘的大致规模在宋代之前就已经形成,今所见西塘著名的桥梁望仙桥(Wangxian Bridge)就是宋代的遗迹。在明清时期,西塘既是远近闻名的鱼米之乡,又是著名的丝绸制造之地,还以制陶业(ceramics)而享誉全国。

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)是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈,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装,他们的表演动作迅速有力。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳舞来保持健康,同时他们也乐在其中。

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 中国的青铜器时代(Bronze Age)从夏开始,经历商、西周到春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),前后持续了一千五百多年的时间。大量出土的青铜器物表明,中国创造了灿烂的青铜文明。这些青铜器物不仅有丰富的政治和宗教内涵,而且还具有很高的艺术价值。今藏于中国历史博物馆的大盂鼎(the Great Ding for Yu)是中国青铜器时代的代表性作品之一。它是西周康王(King Kang)时期的作品,距今大约有三千多年。

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.

1911年,中国爆发了历史上的第一次资产阶级革命——the Revolution of

1911),它推翻了中国封建社会的最后一个朝代——清朝,废除了中国延续了2000多年的封建帝制,建立了中国的第一个民主共和国——中华民国。民国政府成立以后,要求全国人民都剪掉头上的辫子(queues),选择自己喜欢的发型。至此,在中国延续了280多年的辫子法令终于被解除。

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.

出现在中国五代时期的妇女缠足(foot-binding),虽然最初是宫廷舞女为了方便跳舞而采用的一种行为,但由于有人认为脚裹起来更好看,所有很多人就开始效仿起来。到了宋代,封建社会的纲常思想非常严重,受到男尊女卑的封建礼教的影响,女子裹脚的风气被传承下来,并逐渐成为一种习俗。为了与妇女的小脚相适应,宋代还出现了专门为裹足妇女制作的弓鞋(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.

据中国古代史书记载,治水有功的大禹通过禅让制接替舜成为部落联盟首

领。但大禹死后,他的儿子夏启却破坏禅让的传统,自立为国王,建立了中国历史上第一个奴隶制国家——夏。从此,王位实行世袭制度,中国社会从此步入阶级社会。夏代处在中国社会从原始社会向奴隶社会过渡的时期,社会生活的各个方面依然保存着原始社会的种种痕迹。

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.

秦始皇是中国历史上一位很有作为的皇帝,他生前动用了大量人力、物力为自己修造陵墓。秦陵兵马俑(Terracotta Warriors and Horses)就是为陪葬这位皇帝而制作的陶兵和陶马。秦始皇陵兵马俑被发现于1974年。三个兵马俑坑

(terracotta figurines pits)占地约20,000多平方米,8,000多个与真人真马一般大小的陶俑陶马,排列成整齐的方阵,再现了秦始皇统一中国时兵强马壮的雄伟军阵。秦始皇陵兵马俑被称作世界第八大奇迹。

The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, known as Qing Shi Huang, made great achievements in Chinese history. While still alive, he mobilized huge manpower and used a great deal of materials to build his tomb. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made as burial objects to accompany the emperor in the after world. They were first discovered in 1974. Archaeologists had unearthed some 8,000 lifelike soldiers and horses from three terracotta figurines pits occupying about 20,000 square metres. Standing in formation, they indicate the powerful array of troops of Qin Shi Huang when he unified China. They are regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.

筷子是广泛适用于东亚各国的传统餐具。筷子的历史起源于中国古代,最早可以追溯到商代。筷子通常由竹子、塑料、木材或不锈钢制成。第一双筷子可能用于烹饪,拨火而不是作为饮食器具。直到汉代,筷子才开始用作餐具。直到明代,筷子才开始被普遍使用于上菜或者吃饭。然后它们被取名“筷子”,并拥有了今天的形状。

Chopsticks are used as the traditional eating utensils of various East Asian countries. Chopsticks originated in ancient China and dates back to as early as the Shang Dynasty. They are commonly made of bamboo, plastic, wood or stainless steel. The first chopsticks were probably used for cooking, stirring the fire and not as eating utensils. Chopsticks began to be used as eating utensils during the Han Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks were widely used for both serving and eating. They then acquired the name kuaizi and the present shape.

公元960年,宋朝建立,后统一了中国大部分地区。宋朝的统治者建立了有效的中央集权制;广泛任用民间的学术文人;地方的军事官员及其党羽都被中央

任命的官员所替代。宋朝在城市发展方面是非常显著的,这不单指其在管理上的职能,而且还包括其作为贸易、工业和海上贸易的中心的职能。在文化上,宋朝发展了历史文献、绘画、书法及坚硬光滑的瓷器等。

In 960, Song Dynasty was founded, and later it reunified most of China. The rulers of the Song Dynasty built an effective centralized bureaucracy staffed with civilian scholar-officials. Regional military governors and their supporters were replaced by centrally appointed officials. The Song Dynasty is notable for the development of cities not only for administrative purposes but also as centers of trade, industry and maritime commerce. Culturally, the Song refined historical writings, painting, calligraphy and hard-glazed porcelain, etc.

中国科举制度(Chinese Imperial Examination System)是指中国古代官僚机构选拔行政官员的考试制度。古代的中国人要想成为一位官员首先必须通过多种考试。科举考试的历史可以追溯到隋朝,在唐朝得到进一步巩固和完善,在清朝走到了尽头。科举制度在中国已经存在了约1300年。它对中国古代的社会结构和政治体制有深刻的影响。即使是现代选拔公务员的考试制度也是间接地从科举制度演变而来的。

Chinese Imperial Examination System refers to an examination system of selecting the administrative officials for the ancient Chinese bureaucracy. Ancient Chinese who wanted to be an official had to pass multiple of examinations first. Its history dates back to the Sui Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the system had been further consolidated and perfected. The system came to an end during the Qing Dynasty. The Imperial Examination System has existed for about 1,300 years in China. It exerts deep influence on social structure and political system in ancient China. Even the modern examination system for selecting civil service staff also indirectly evolved from the imperial one.

唐代文化是中国文化的一个高峰。尤其是古典诗歌到唐代发展到全盛时期。

在唐代300余年的历史中,产生的流传于后世的诗歌就有48,900多首。如此丰富的作品也使2,300多位诗人在历史上留下了他们的名字。唐诗在创作方法上,现实主义与浪漫主义并举。唐代最著名的诗人是李白和杜甫,他们都是具有世界声誉的诗人,后人将他们合称为“李杜”。

The Tang Dynasty witnessed a peak in Chinese culture. Especially, ancient poetry flourished in the Tang Dynasty. In more than 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, some 48,900 poems were handed down and remain widely known today. So many works also made more than 2,300 poets famous in history. As far as the writing technique is concerned, the Tang poetry combined realism and romanticism. The best-known poets of the Tang Dynasty were Li Bai and Du Fu, who are very prestigious in the whole world and people of later generations called both of them as “Li Du” collaboratively.

江苏菜,又叫淮阳菜,流行于长江下流区域,以水产作为主要原料,注重原料的鲜味。其雕刻技术十分珍贵,其中瓜雕(melon carving)尤其著名。烹饪技术包括炖、烤、焙、煨(simmering)等。江苏菜的特色是淡、鲜、甜、雅。江苏菜系以其精选的原料,精细的准备,不辣不温的口感而出名。因为江苏气候变化很大,江苏菜系在一年之中也有变化。味道强而不重,淡而不温。

Jiangsu Cuisine, also called Huaiyang Cuisine, is popular in the lower reach region of the Yangtze River. Aquatics as the main ingredients, it stresses the freshness of materials. Its carving techniques are delicate, of which the melon carving technique is especially well-known. Cooking techniques consist of stewing, roasting, baking and simmering, etc. The flavor of Huaiyang Cuisine is light, fresh and sweet and with delicate elegance. Jiangsu Cuisine is well-known for its careful selection of ingredients, its meticulous preparation, and its “not-too-spicy, not-too-bland” taste. S ince the climate varies considerably in Jiangsu, the cuisine also varies throughout the year. The flavor is strong but not too heavy; light but not too bland.

王安石,北宋宰相、政治家、文学家、江西临川人。1042年,王安石考中进士,踏上了仕途,从此积极投身于改革大业。他曾给宋仁宗写了一封万字的谏书(remonstrance),主张朝廷全面改革法度,却没有得到重视。直到宋神宗时,王安石才得以有计划制定新的法度,大刀阔斧地展开以富国强兵为目的的变法运动。这就是中国历史上著名的“王安石变法”。

Born in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, Wang Anshi was a statesman, poet and prose writer in the Song Dynasty. In 1042, Wang Anshi outstood others in the feudal exam and became a Jinshi, marking his first step in his political career and the beginning of his commitment to the reform. He once wrote a remonstrance of ten thousand characters to Emperor Renzong, advocating an all-out reform of the feudal laws and systems. The letter, however, was neglected. It was not until the reign of Emperor Shenzong that he finally got the opportunity to carry out the reform aimed to strengthen the country’s power. This is the famous “Wang Anshi’s Reform” in the Chinese history.

秦腔(Qingqiang Opera)起源于唐、宋年间的陕西农村,经明、清两代的发展,演变成现在以“直起直落,慷慨激昂,荡气回肠”为主要特征的表现形式。在陕西境内,根据不同语言特色和生活习惯,秦腔又分为东、中、西、南四路。西安秦腔吸取东、西两路秦腔的长处和京剧等外来剧种的优点,既有高亢激昂、粗犷豪放的风格,又有柔和清丽、精致细腻的格调。

Qinqiang Opera originated in the Tang and Song dynasties from the rural areas of the ancient Shaanxi in China and took shape in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now this folk opera is featured by melodies that do not have many changes yet sound impassioned and soul-stirring. Since the dialects and living habits vary from place to place within Shaanxi province, Qinqiang opera is classified into four schools: the eastern school, the central school, the western school and the southern school. Qinqiang opera performed in Xi’an has absorbed the merits of the eastern and western schools as well as those of other operas such as Peking opera. Thus it sounds loud and rough sometimes, soft and

gentle at other times.

根据中国的阴阳五行学说,世界上所有的事物都是由金、木、水、火、土五种元素构成,这五种元素相生相克,白色代表金,绿色代表木,黑色代表水,红色代表火,黄色则代表土。中国社会发展到汉代以后,黄色开始被人所接受,并认为是最尊贵的颜色。唐代以后,服饰制度规定只准皇室穿黄色的服饰,其他人一概不允许。

According to the Chinese thought of yin, yang and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth), all things in the universe consist of the five elements; there is a phenomenon of mutual promotion and restraint among the five elements. The white stands for metal, the blue for wood, the black for water, the red for fire and the yellow for earth. Since the Han Dynasty in Chinese history, the yellow had been accepted by all people and regarded as the most distinguished colour. By the Tang Dynasty, the clothing system stipulated that all the people were prohibited from wearing yellow clothes except the royal family.

张择端是北宋时期的一位宫廷画师,拥有大量杰出作品,但最著名的应当是被后人称为“神品”的《清明上河图》(A River Scene at Qingming Festival)。它是一部写实主义的精品,以当时开封城的景象为题材绘制而成。图中人物多达500余人,真实地再现了当时开封清明时节的盛况。全图结构完整,描绘准确,被传为稀世珍品。《清明上河图》将那个时代的绘画艺术推向了顶峰。

Zhang Zeduan is a royal painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, he left many outstanding works, but the most renowned one is A River Scene at Qingming Festival. With various scenes in Kaifeng

as raw materials, the painting paints more than 500 people and thus is a lively portrayal of Kaifeng on the day of Qingming Festival. So complete in organisation and so vivid in painting, A River Scene at Qingming Festival is deemed as the peak of painting at that time.

21 清朝是中国的最后一个封建王朝。它由满族人(Manchus)建立,是中国历史上第二个由非汉族人创建的统一王朝。满族人以前也被称为女真(Jurchen),他们居住在明朝境内东北部、长城关外。在努尔哈赤(Nurhaci)统一女真各部落并建立了一个独立的部落之后,他们成为了明朝晚期的主要威胁。满族人联合明朝的将军吴三桂打下了北京,并将其作为清朝的首都。在这之后他们继续南下剿灭(subdue)明朝的残余反抗势力。在满族征战中国的过程(1618—1683)中,总共造成了2500万人丧生。

The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty in China. Founded by the Manchus, it was the second non-Han Chinese dynasty that ruled the whole country. The Manchus were formerly known as Jurchen, residing in the northeastern part of the Ming territory outside the Great Wall. They emerged as the major threat to the late Ming Dynasty after Nurhaci had united all Jurchen tribes and established an independent one. The Manchu allied with the Ming Dynasty general Wu Sangui to seize Beijing, which was made the capital of the Qi ng Dynasty, and then proceeded to subdue the remaining Ming’s resistance in the south.

22

明朝是中国历史上最后一个由汉族建立的王朝,历经十二世、十六位皇帝,国祚276年。明朝初期明太祖朱元璋定都于南京市。1421年由明成祖朱棣迁都至北京市。明朝是继汉唐盛世后又一个兴盛的中原王朝,也曾是手工业、经济最繁荣的国家之一。《明史》(The History of Ming)认为洪武、永乐在位时期,“治隆唐宋”、“远迈汉唐”。明朝时期,无汉唐之和亲,无两宋之岁币,天子御国门,君主死社稷,为后世子孙所敬仰。

The Ming Dynasty is the last dynasty established by the Han Chinese in Chinese history. It had 16 emperors of 12 generations in its 276 years. Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming Dynasty, set its capital in Nanjing in the early years. Emperor Zhudi moved its capital to Beijing in 1421. The Ming Dynasty is

a follow-up to the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, when the handicraft industry and economy flourished. The History of Ming suggests that during the reign of Emperor Hongwu and Yongle, the Ming Dynasty was much more developed than the Han, the Tang and the Song dynasties. The Ming Dynasty was never forced to establish marital relationships with neighboring kingdoms like Tang Dynasty, neither did it pay any tribute like the Song did. Emperors in the Ming Dynasty all dedicated to its country and are respected by their descendants.

年画(New Year Painting)是中国画的一种,始于古代的门神画(door god painting),在清朝光绪年间正式被称为年画。北宋年间,每逢过年过节家家户户贴年画已成为一种风尚。木板年画历史悠久,堪称中国民间艺术宝库中的一颗明珠。木版年画,顾名思义,就是用木板印出来的年画,不但具有极高的收藏价值,而且还极具观赏性。朱仙镇木板年画和天津杨柳青、山东潍坊、江苏桃花坞年画并称中国四大年画。朱仙镇木版年画采用的是手工木刻制作,制作工艺非常地讲究。

New Year Painting is a kind of Chinese painting originated from ancient door god painting. In the period of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it was formally known as New Year Painting. In

the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a trend to paste new year paintings on New Year festivals and other holidays. The wood panel new year painting has a long history. It can be called a pearl of the treasures of folk art in China. The wood panel new year paintings, as its name implies, are painted with wood panels. They not only have very high artistic value, but also are highly ornamental. Wood panel new year paintings in Zhuxian Town, together with new year painting in Yangliuqing of Tianjin, Weifang of Shandong and Taohuawu of Jiangsu are collectively known as the four famous new year paintings in China. Wood panel new year paintings in Zhuxian Town are made of hand-made wood and the production process is very demanding.

在中国古代社会,官服是权力的象征,历来受到统治阶级的重视。因为明朝皇帝姓朱,所以官员的官服是以大红为主的(紫色从此不在官服中使用),且样式近似唐代圆领服。最有特色的是用“补子”(buzi)表示官员的品级。补子是一块约40-50厘米的正方形丝绸材料,可织绣上不同的纹样,然后被分别缝缀在官服的胸前和背后。文官的补子用飞禽,武官用走兽,分成九个等级。平常穿的圆领袍衫则凭衣服长短来区分身份,衣服长的人地位高。

In ancient China, the official dress was a symbol of power, and was taken seriously by the ruling class of ages. In the Ming Dynasty, as the emperor’s family name was Zhu meaning red, the official dress was mostly bright red; as a result, the colour purple was no longer used as the colour for the official dress during the period. The Ming official dress looked quite similar to the round-neck dress in the Tang Dynasty. The “buzi” was the most special characteristic of the Ming official dress, which was used to show the grade of officials. The buzi was a piece of square silk about 40-50cm, which was embroidered with different flower patterns and then sewn to the front part and back part of the official dress. The buzi of the civilian was embroidered with the figure of fowls, and that of the military officer was embroidered with the figures of beasts, which was divided into nine grades. The ordinary round-neck gowns and robes were distinguished according to the length of the dress. The longer the clothes the higher the position.

25 孙权,字(courtesy name)仲谋,今浙江富阳人。15岁时就开始征战沙场。他是一位善于纳贤的英杰,勇敢果断,选拔官员的标准是唯贤任能。他大胆任用了一批年轻有为的将领,从而帮助孙权成就了一代宏图大业。孙权统治江东50年,对开发建业和整个江南地区做出了重大贡献。他发展农业,兴修水利,疏浚(dredge)和扩大了秦淮河水道。他还发展了航海事业,派人到夷洲(今台湾省),出使辽东半岛(peninsula)及南海诸国,还为西域僧人建造了金陵的第一座佛寺——建初寺。

Sun Quan, whose courtesy name is Zhongmou, was born in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province. Sun began to fight on the battlefield when he was only 15 years old. Later, when he became a leader, he was brave, decisive and impartial in appointing officials. As a result, a lot of young yet talented men were promoted to important position, which helped Sun a lot in building his kingdom. During his fifty years’ rule, Sun Quan contributed a lot to the development of Jianye (present Nanjing) and the south China as a whole by developing agriculture, building irrigation projects as well as dredging and widening the waterway of the Qinhuai River. What’s more, he helped to develop China’s navigation industry by sending off convoys to Yizhou (modern Taiwan Province), Liaodong Peninsula and some island countries around South China Sea. Under his order, the first Buddhist temple which was named Jianchu Temple was built for monks from the Western Regions.

祖冲之,429年生于建康(今南京),他从小就显示出过人的才学。他最伟大的贡献就是把圆周率的数值精确计算到3.141,592,6和3.141,592,7之间。这个数值在当时是世界上最精准的圆周率数值。直到大约一千年后,欧洲数学家才求得同样的结果。由于祖冲之在计算圆周率方面的重大贡献,圆周率又被称为“祖率”。国际科学界还将月球上的一座环形山(lunar craterTsu Chung-chi行星(asteroid)。这些都是为了纪念这位伟大的科学巨匠。

Born in Jiankang (present Nanjing) in 429, Zu Chongzhi (Tsu Chung-chi) displayed unusual talent from his childhood. Based on others’ achievements, he calculated out that the precise value of π shall be between 3.141,592,6 and 3.141,592,7. This was the most precise approximation at that time and it was not until one thousand years later that a European mathematician came up with the same result. For all his great contribution, π is also called the Zu ratio in honor of Zu Chongzhi. What’s more, the international scientific circle named o ne lunar crater as “Tsu Chung-chi”. And the International Planet Centre named one asteroid after his name. All these efforts are done to commemorate this great scientist.

27 编钟(Bianzhong)是中国传统的乐器,由青铜铸成,它由不同的钟依照大小排列。这些钟悬挂在一个巨大的木制钟架上。这些编钟曾被用作和弦乐器(polyphonic musical instruments),其中一些钟的历史可以追溯到2,000到3,000年前。迄今为止最重要的一套编钟在挖掘曾侯乙(Marquis Yi)的古墓时出土,它由65个大小编钟组成,保存完好。曾侯乙编钟铸造于两千五百多年前的战国时代(Warring States),制作精美,总重量达到两千五百多公斤,今天它仍然能够演奏乐曲,在这世界文化史上也是极为罕见的。

Bianzhong is an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of a set of bronze bells which are placed by size and hung in an enormous wooden frame. These sets of chime bells were used as polyphonic musical instruments and some of these bells can be dated back to 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Among the most important sets of Bianzhong discovered are a complete ceremonial set of 65 zhong bells, found in a near-perfect state of preservation during the excavation of the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. Made in the Warring States about 2,500 years ago, the bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng which feature exquisite workmanship and have a total weight of over 2,500 kilograms can still be played today, which is rare even in the history of world culture.

在英文中,“中国”与“瓷器”是一个词,这说明,很早的时期欧洲人就把中国与瓷器联系在一起的了。瓷器15世纪时就传入欧洲,在中外交流中占有重要位置。德国卡塞尔郎德(Keisel Randy)博物馆至今还藏有一件中国明代青瓷(blue-and-white)碗。历史上,中国和亚洲的其他国家以及欧洲国家的瓷器交易极为频繁,而且数量巨大。据今人研究,在1602-1682年间,仅荷兰东印度公司(the Dutch East India Company)从中国贩运到欧洲的瓷器就有一千六百多万件。瓷器以其优雅精致的品质,为中国赢得了好名声。

In English, china has the same meaning as porcelain. This proves that Europeans have long known of China’s relation to porcelain. Porcelain found its

way to Europe in the 15th century, occupying

an important position in the exchanges between China and other countries. The Keisel Randy Museum in Germany houses a blue-and-white bowl dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Throughout history, China, along with other Asian countries, and Europe maintained a busy and vast trade in porcelain. From 1602 to 1682, the Dutch East India Company alone transported more than 16 million articles of porcelain from China to Europe. Porcelain earned a good reputation for China for its sophistication and elegance.

中国人为什么要修长城?在秦始皇时代,每二十个人中,就有一个人参与修建过长城。中国人经历了无数次毁灭性的战争,他们深知,保护生灵的城墙总比掩埋尸体的壕沟(trench)好。修建长城有说不尽的艰辛,甚至不少人还因此付出了生命。但与惨烈的战争相比,人们更愿意选择前者。长城在中国历史上发挥的作用是巨大的。在冷兵器时代,长城在军事防御上起到了不容置疑的作用,尤其在防御北方民族所谓的“马背上的进攻”方面,效果是明显的。

Why did the Chinese build the Great Wall? During the reign of the First Emperor of Qin, one out of every 20 people took part in the project. Suffering from the devastating damage of wars, people realized that building a wall to protect lives was better than burying the dead in trenches. Building walls was extremely hard labor, sometimes even at the cost of life itself. Compared with bloody wars, however, people would rather choose the former. The Great Wall played a significant role in history. It certainly served the purpose of military defense in the age of cold steel, especially in preventing attacks from northern peoples on horseback.

围棋(go)于四千多年前起源于中国,是一种重要的棋盘游戏,并在一千多年前就先后传到朝鲜半岛(peninsula)和日本,为东北亚人们普遍喜爱。每年中、日、韩之间有多种围棋比赛,围棋成为文化交流的工具。围棋不仅是竞赛项目,也是一种游戏活动,文人(literati)的案台上常常备有围棋。客人来了,除了有

酒,还有围棋。旧时,无论在农村还是在市井,人们常常可以见到这样的场面:两个人在对弈,旁边站着一大片观棋的人,观棋的人得到的快乐丝毫不比下棋的人少。

Go is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. It was introduced to the Korean peninsula and Japan over 1,000 years ago, and has since become a favorite pastime of many people there. Today, go still serves as a means of cultural exchange between the peoples of China, Japan and Korea, as they engage in numerous tournaments every year. Go is not only a competitive event but also a game of entertainment. The literati would usually have a set of go pieces on their desks. When a friend came around, both the host and the guest would enjoy a game of go, along with fine wine. In ancient countryside and towns, a pair of go players in an open space would often attract an attentive crowd, with the onlookers enjoying the game no less than the players.

31 在中国,小孩子的抓周(one-year-old catch)仪式独具风格,在孩子的成长过程中,这个仪式具有里程碑式的重要意义。抓周仪式在小孩满一周岁的时候举行,最早记载于北齐。小孩子满周岁的那天,在吃中午的长寿面之前,家里的长辈们会将书、笔、钱币、首饰、玩具和食物等摆出来,由大人将小孩抱过来,令其端坐,大人们不给予任何的引导或暗示,任孩子任意挑选,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将要从事的职业以及发展,也寄寓了长辈们对孩子的美好期待。

In China, the one-year-old catch of a baby is of unique characteristic. The ceremony is of milestone-like significance in the growing process of a baby. The ceremony usually celebrates when the baby is one year old. The earliest historical record about one-year-old catch appeared during the Northern Qi Dynasty. On the day when a baby is one year old, the family of the baby will lay out books, pens, coins, jewelries, toys and foods, etc. The parents then put the baby in front of these articles and make him/her sit up. Nobody will give any instruction or cue to the baby so that it is left free to choose by himself/herself. According to the

articles the baby catches, the family try to make predications about the baby’s potential interests, future career and development. The ceremony also represents that the elder place good wishes and hope on the baby.

武则天是中国历史上空前绝后的唯一一位女皇帝,她创造了中国历史的奇迹。她是中国历史上杰出的政治家、军事家,同时也是一位诗人。武则天出生于唐朝的大户人家,她拥有盖世的美丽和绝顶的聪明,并喜欢读书。童年时曾随父母游历了名山大川,这培养了她的眼界和才干。她14岁入宫,在经历了很多坎坷和磨难之后,终于当上了皇后。690年,武则天改国号(the title of the dynasty)唐为周,正式做了皇帝。她执政期间,经济、文化繁荣发展,边疆稳固,人民生活幸福。

Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, created the miracle of Chinese history. She was an outstanding politician, strategist as well as a poet in Chinese history. Born in a wealthy family in Tang Dynasty, she was the most beautiful and intelligent of her time, and she also liked reading. She had visited famous mountains and great rivers with her parents when she was a child, which had broadened her horizon and developed her talents. She was sent to the palace when she was 14. After many difficulties and hardships, she became the empress finally. In 690, Wu Zetian changed the title of the dynasty Tang to Zhou, and became the emperor herself. During her reign, the economy and culture developed rapidly, the frontier got stable and people led a happy life.

33 玉雕(jade carving)是中国最古老的雕刻品种之一。玉石历来被人们当作珍宝,在中国古代,玉被看作是美好品质和君子风范的象征。玉石加工雕琢成为精美的工艺品,称为玉雕。工艺师在制作的过程中,根据不同玉料的天然颜色和自然形状,经过精心设计、反复琢磨,才能把玉石雕制成精美的工艺品。玉雕的品种主要有人物、器具、鸟兽、花卉等大件作品,也有别针(brooch)、戒指、印章等小件作品。中国的玉雕作品在世界上享有很好的声誉。

Jade carving is one of the oldest carving arts in China. Jade was always treated as treasure. In ancient China, jade was regarded as a symbol of refinement and moral ethics. Jade carving refers to the process to carve a piece of jade into a fine article of art. A carving artist has to thoroughly examine a piece of jade, cudgel his brains to make a design according to its natural colors and shape, and turn it into an artistic work. Jade can be carved into human figures, containers, images of birds, animals, flowers as well as small things like brooches, rings or seals. Chinese jade carving works enjoy a high reputation in the world.

34 生活在中国黄河中上游的黄土高原上(the Loess Plateau)的人们,利用那里的黄土层建造了一种独特的住宅——窑洞(cave-dwellings)。窑洞分为土窑、石窑、砖窑等几种。土窑是靠着山坡挖掘成的黄土窑洞,这种窑洞冬暖夏凉,保温和隔音效果最好。石窑和砖窑是先用石块或砖砌成拱形洞,然后在上面盖上厚厚的黄土,既坚固又美观。由于建造窑洞不需要钢材和水泥,所以窑洞的造价较低。随着社会的发展,人们对窑洞的建造不断改进,黄土高原上冬暖夏凉的窑洞越来越舒适美观了。

People living in the Loess Plateau which lies in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River make use of the solid to build unique residences called cave-dwellings. These can be further divided into earthen, rock-walled and brick-walled types. Earthen cave-dwellings are hollowed out of mountain slopes; they are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are also sound-proof. Stones or brick-walled cave-dwellings are usually built with stones or bricks first into arch-shaped house and then covered with a thick layer of earth. Since there is no need for steel and cement, the building cost is low. As society progresses, construction of carve-dwelling keeps improving, and today, such houses are more comfortable inside and more pleasant in appearance.

35 轿子(sedan chair)是中国古代很重要的交通工具,主要由人来肩扛手抬。汉代的权贵(bigwig)们坐在由人像背包那样背着的轻便竹椅中行进。在北魏和南北朝时期,山水卷轴中出现了绑在竹竿上的木制轿子。轿子在种类上有官轿、

民轿和喜轿等。轿子最重要的用途可能就是用作喜轿了。传统的中国婚礼上,新娘子被雇来的人用轿子抬到婚礼现场。喜轿装饰华丽、喜庆(jubilant),通常这些轿子还装饰有一个由红色丝绸制成的帘子,用来防止新娘子的闺容被旁观者看见。

The sedan chair can be regarded as a crucial vehicle of ancient China. It mainly has the virtue of lifting with shoulders and hands. In Han Dynasty, the bigwigs travelled in light bamboo seats supported on a carrier’s back like a backpack. In the Northern Wei Dynasty and the North and South Song dynasties, wooden carriages on bamboo poles appeared in painted landscape scrolls. As for its kind, the sedan chair can be classified into three types: sedan chair for officials, the civilian and weddings. The chair with perhaps the greatest importance was the bridal chair. A traditional bride is carried to her wedding ceremony by a “shoulder carriage”, usually hired. These were richly ornamented and jubilant, and were equipped with red silk curtains to screen the bride from onlookers.

36 龙袍(imperial robe),从字面上理解就是绣(embroider)有龙形花纹的袍服,在中国古代服饰文化史上占有重要地位。龙纹最早出现在周朝,当时出现画有龙纹的服装,但没有出现真正意义上的龙袍。秦汉时期,上下相连的袍服出现,但袍服上仍没有龙形的花纹。直到隋唐时期冕服上才开始出现龙纹,但是帝王平时穿用的常服上并没有龙纹。只有到了元明时期,帝王袍服上绣有龙纹的现象才越来越多,自此也就出现了真正意义的龙袍。

Imperial robe literally means a robe that is embroidered with images of Chinese dragon, which played an important role in the history of Chinese ancient dress culture. The design of Chinese dragon appeared as early as in the Zhou Dynasty but the real imperial robe had not yet existed. By the Qin and Han dynasties, the robe with upper and lower parts as a whole was designed, but still no flower pattern of Chinese dragon on the robe. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the crown

clothing that consisted of both upper clothes and lower skirt began to have

2017年6月英语四级作文预测热点10篇

英语四级预测作文一: 延迟退休 Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Retirement Age Be Postponed? You’d write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Your writing should be based on the following outline. 1. 近年来,推迟退休年龄引发人们热议 2. 推迟退休年龄有利也有弊 3. 我的看法 Based on a recent survey on the Internet, a majority of individuals admit that aging society will bring a variety of problems to their life. Along with the trend of longevity, it has become a trend for people to debate whether it is wise to postpone retirement age. A number of individuals favor postponing the retirement age. In their eyes, it is this policy that enables the aging society to build up enough work-force. As a matter of fact, people in mounting numbers have come to realize this problem in an aging society. Even so, others hold a different view that postponing retirement age carries some risks. This policy can bring old people stress, but cannot arouse their enthusiasm for work, and cannot help them to enjoy their retirement pension. I am convinced that we should take into account the wishes of old people. If those seniors have enthusiasm for work, we should educate, advocate and encourage them to work and perform their tasks; if not, it is advisable for the society to create a comfo rtable twilight for them. If we try our utmost to do so, the future of old people’ life will be promising and hopeful. (187 words) 英语四级预测作文二: 教育回报 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Education Pays based on the statistics provided in the chart below (Weekly earnings in 2010).

Meanwhile, we can notice that weekly earnings of college graduates with no degrees, those with high school diploma and people with less than high school diploma were $712, $626 and $444 respectively. (注:图表描述没有必要面面俱到,写出大体趋势即可。) Obviously, this chart can be naturally associated with the importance of education: if individuals intend to acquire/ gain/ get better earnings, it is advisable for them to gain higher degrees. In contemporary America, it has become a trend for a host of companies/firms/corporations/ organizations to hire doctors and masters and pay them better salaries. It is education that enables them to build up adequate knowledge, skills and ability to deal with important tasks. As a matter of fact, employees and employers in large numbers have come to realize the significance of higher degrees. 英语四级预测作文三:

Protecting the Intangible Cultural Heritages 1.保护非物质文化遗产很重要 2.非物质文化遗产指的是…… 3.为保护非物质文化遗产我们应该…… 参考范文: Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of existence, they are in greater risk of extinction. According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore, performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity. Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future. However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.

2020年大学英语四级作文预测范文:减少校园浪费

2020年大学英语四级作文预测范文:减少校园浪费Reduce Waste on Campus As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. As far as i am concerned, i should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, i will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What’s more, i’m determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

2020年大学英语六级作文预测:永不放弃

2020年大学英语六级作文预测:永不放弃 当今的年轻人面临巨大的生活和学习压力,这给他们的意志力带来了挑战。特别是遇到一时无法解决的困难时,很多人可能会退缩,甚至放弃。不过,容易放弃的人很难看到希望的曙光,只有永不放弃才有可能抵达成功的彼岸。 一、写作思路 首段:提出当前很多年轻人有一种不好的心态,遇到困难就容易退缩甚至放弃,并举例说明,比如学英语记单词的例子,或是工作中遇到的具体困难。 关键点:不好的心态+举例说明 中段:能够具体阐述如何做到不放弃,并举例说明。也能够分析不放弃的心态能给人带来哪些好处,比如能够锻炼人的意志,有利于增进人际关系,也有助于最终取得成功。 关键点:不管从哪个方面写,都要举例说明。 末段:强调在追求目标的过程中,永不放弃很重要。 关键点:强调永不放弃的重要性。 二、参考范文和译文 参考范文 Never Give Up “Never give up” can be very encouraging words, but the majority of youngsters are likely to give up regardless when dealing with the ordinary difficulties of life. As one example, many young people are reluctant to continue their English study when they feel difficulty learning new words.

But if one takes “never give up” as a m otto, possibilities and opportunities are expanded. It is true that giving up may make things temporarily easier, but what cannot be denied is that new opportunities arise from perseverance. Never giving up can expand one’s possibility for success. When confronted with something unknown, a little bravery can result in the possibility of success, like when Dr. Fleming discovered penicillin. Meanwhile, the sense of never giving up enhances one’s self-confidence. This makes one more likely to try new things, opening up even more new opportunities. It can even be a benefit to personal relationships. In view of all factors, never giving up is crucial to the pursuit of dreams. Even though toils lie in the way, success is at the other end. 参考译文 永不放弃 “永不放弃”是非常令人鼓舞的话,但是在面对生活中的日常困难时,绝大部分的年轻人可能会不顾一切地放弃。比如说,很多年轻人在学新单词遇到困难时,就不太愿意继续学英语了。但如果一个人将“永不放弃”作为自己的座右铭,就会有更大的发展前途和更多机会。 没错,放弃可能使事情暂时变得容易,但不可否认的是,坚持不懈就会有新的机会出现。永不放弃能增加人们成功的机会。在面对未知事物时,一点点勇气就可能带来成功,就像弗雷明教授发现青霉素一样。与此同时,永不放弃的意识能够增强一个人的自信,让人们更有可能尝试新事物,开启更多的新机会,甚至有利于人际关系。

英语四六级作文预测 一、友谊 Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection, and readiness to help. No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along. Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends. Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart. Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys. While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities. Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them, and not to ridicule their proceedings. We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life. 二、压力 As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the

四六级押题翻译和作文预测 PART ONE——Translation 【翻译第1篇】 【共享经济】 共享经济(the Sharing Economy)是一个围绕共享人力、物力和智力资源建立起来的社会经济生态系统(a socio-economic ecosystem)。在中国,以滴滴出行和摩拜单车为代表的共享经济正在成为主流趋势。自行车、房屋、日常衣物、篮球、雨伞,都可以使用神奇的共享模式。报告显示,到2020年,中国的共享经济交易量预计将大幅增长,占国内生产总值比重10%以上。甚至有人推测,只要道德和法律允许,最终所有能共享的都可以共享。更重要的是,中国庞大的人口也是一个巨大机遇。 参考译文: The Sharing Economy is a socio-economic ecosystem built around the sharing of human, physical and intellectual resources. Represented by companies like Didi Chuxing and Mobike, it’s becoming a major trend in China. Bicycles, houses, daily clothing, basketballs, umbrellas all can use the magical sharing model. According to a report, China’s sharing

economy transactions is expected to grow substantially, accounting for more than 10 percent of China’s gross domestic product by 2020. Some people even speculated that everything that can be shared will be shared eventually, as long as it is ethically and legally feasible. More importantly, China’s large population is also a huge opportunity. 【翻译第2篇】 【中美贸易】 就中美贸易(Sino- -UStrade)而言,互利共赢的经贸关系给两国人民带来了切实的经济利益。今天,美国500强企业有400多家进入中国,大多数企业获利丰厚。与此同时,在美国市场上,许多中国商品受到美国消费者的青睐。中国在美国投资设立的企业已超过1000家。我们可以预见,中美贸易摩擦将随着经贸关系的深化而凸显,但是中美经贸合作的总体发展是不可逆转的. 参考译文: In terms of Sino-us trade, the mutually beneficial and win-win economic and trade relationships does bring the two peoples tangible economic benefits.

英语四六级(段落翻译)

英语四六级:段落翻译 1、狮舞(Lion Dance)是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首,在中国传统中,狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物(mascot)。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身,能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载,狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代(theTang Dynasty),狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。因此,舞狮成为元宵节(the Lantern Festival)和其他节日的习俗,人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。 2、中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放,这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来,中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长,而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有利的政策和条件,推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。 3、 假日经济的现象表明:中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据,中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时,中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相应调整,来适应社会的发展。另一方面,服务质量要改善,以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。 4、端午节,又叫龙舟节,是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方,抛下粽子,希望鱼儿吃粽子,不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来,端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinous dumplings)和赛龙舟,尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 5、2013年6月20日在中国各地,剧估计60万儿童和他们的老师观看了有宇航员(astronaut)王亚平在距离地球300公里的上空所讲授的科学课。王亚平与两个同事乘坐天宫一号实验舱(theTiangon-1 laboratory module) 执行为期两周的任务。她在课上进行了一系列太空的物理演示。在有些演示中还对比了在地球上重力(one-gravity)环境下同样的实验。这堂物理课不仅让孩子们享受了一堂知识与乐趣兼具的物理课,也显示了我国通信科技的前进。 6、 朝气蓬勃,充满活力,丰富多彩的上海是现代中国的缩影。虽然上海的文化遗迹不能与北京媲美,但是上海迷人的城市风貌,风格各异的万国建筑为这座城市注入了无限的魅力。今日之上海,已经成为享誉中外的国际大都市。漫步在这座日新月异的现代大都市里,你会发现许多精彩的历史亮点,隐现在众多摩天大楼背后的是上海发展变化的轨迹。它们记述了上海自十九世纪末开埠以来,尤其是新中国成立以后,是如何迅猛发展的。 7、 近代以来,亚洲经历了曲折和艰难的发展历程。亚洲人们为改变自
