remarkable member of the grass family这就是稻米rice中国有着至少8000年的稻米种植史The Chinese have been cultivating rice for at least 8 thousand years他们改变了这块土地It has transformed the landscape对云南南部的农民而言冬末是个繁忙的季节Late winter in southern Yunnan is a busy time for local farmers因为他们要为即将来临的春天整顿这片古老的稻田as they prepare the age-old paddy field ready for the coming spring元阳县的山坡以2000M之势These hill slopes of Yuanyang

a crapulous predator就算在耕作过的稻田中央Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field也会上演喙与爪的血腥剧目nature is red in beak and claw或许这看上去像一场屠杀This may look like a slaughter但每只池鹭一次只能吞噬一只蛙but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time此时剩余的多数派得以逃生并获得了明日再度高歌的机会the vast majority will escape to croak another day元阳县这样广泛种植水稻的Terrace paddies like those of YunYang county are found across much of southern China梯田横贯中国南部This whole vast landscape is dominated by rice cultivation苗族人在炎热的贵州发展了高度发达的水稻种植In heated Guizhou province the Miao minority have developed a remarkable rice culture苗族人把木屋建立在陡峭低产的山壁上With every inch of fertile land given over to rice cultivation用其余每寸丰饶的土地来种植水稻the Miao build their wooden houses on the steepest and least productive hillsides所有东西在中国农村都自有其用处In Chinese rural life everything

success of the crop will determin how well the family will eat next year因而选择合适的时机进行耕作是至关重要的so planting at the right time is critical时机的选择取决于当年的天气情况The ideal date depends on what the weather will do this year而这些却是永难估料的never easy to predict但是身边就存在着贴心小帮手But there is some surprising help at hand宋家厅堂房梁上的是一对刚从冬季迁徙中归来的金腰燕On the cielling of the Song's living room a pair of red-rumpedswallownewly arrive

to let the swallows come and go freely古老爹知晓每年燕子归来的确切时间Each year granddad Gu knows the exact day the swallows return苗族人坚信这些鸟儿的归来预示着春季的来临Miao people believe the birds arrival predicts the timing of a season ahead然而今年他们姗姗来迟This year, they were late因而古老爹和其他族中长老一致认为今年的插秧应当推迟so Gu and the other community elders have agreed that rice planting should be delayed accordingly当苗族人为了插秧而整备田地时As the Miao prepare their fields for planting燕子们或搜集修整巢穴用的泥巴the swallows collect mud to repair their nests或穿越新耕的稻田追逐昆虫and chase after insects across the newly ploughed paddies最终经过了几周的准备Finally, after weeks of

解读中国国家形象宣传片
解读中国国家形象宣传⽚2019-09-09[摘要]国家作为⼀种特殊的组织，在国际社会也⾯临着展⽰⾃⾝形象、提升国际影响的公关⽬标。
本⽂回溯了世界及中国国家形象宣传⽚的历史，分析了2011年初中国政府⾸次以国家官⽅名义推出的两部国家形象宣传⽚的创意与构思。
[关键词]国家形象宣传创意公共关系是组织对外塑造良好形象、对内营造和谐氛围的⼀种传播和管理⼿段。
企业在市场求⽣存，城市在社会求发展，都离不开公共关系，⽽国家作为⼀种特殊的组织，在国际社会也⾯临着展⽰⾃⾝形象、提升国际影响的公关⽬标。
随着中国融⼊全球化的程度越来越深，中国已经到了迫切需要塑造国家形象的阶段。
2011年元旦刚过，⼀抹靓丽的“中国红”点亮了美国纽约时报⼴场，6块电⼦显⽰屏同时播出了中国国家形象宣传⽚30秒⼴告之《⼈物篇》。
[1]与此同时，另⼀部长达15分钟的专题⽚《⾓度篇》也已制作完成。
此举是新中国建国以来第⼀次以国家官⽅的名义，出于国际传播的⽬的⽽推出的国家形象宣传⽚，因此被各⽅誉为中国全⾯进⼊国家公关时代的标志性事件。
国家形象宣传⽚的历史溯源国家形象宣传⽚是以国家为宣传主体，以国际社会为宣传对象，旨在宣传国家变化发展，扭转或提升国际形象，扩⼤国际影响⼒的影视形态。
国家形象宣传⽚最早是作为国际政治和外交战略的产物⽽出现的。
上世纪20年代，苏联实施“新经济政策”后为了向西⽅世界展⽰所取得的成绩，拍摄了系列⿊⽩纪录⽚《苏联新貌》。
这些短⽚在西⽅各国放映后，成功扭转了苏联以往的落后农业国印象，树⽴了苏维埃⼯业化的新形象。
这种⿊⽩纪录短⽚式的“国家形象宣传”，在⼆战前被各国普遍仿效。
⽽第⼀个把国家形象宣传⼴告从电影搬上⼤众传播的电视媒体，则始于1964年的⽇本。
作为⼆战后⽇本第⼀次在国际上正式亮相的东京奥运会，是战后⽇本国家公关战略的重要公关活动，⽽借助此次国际赛事，⽇本制作和播出了⼀个主题为“现代化的新东京迎接现代化奥运”的宣传⽚，成功地让世⼈看到了⼀个从废墟中崛起、重新步⼊⼯业化⾏列的新东京。
《国家形象》观后感
《中国国家形象片》观后感随着经济的迅猛发展，中国在国际上的地位也快速上升，世界人民的眼光也转向中国。
这时中国就需要将自己展现给世界，让世界人民认识中国，了解中国，理解中国！北京奥运，上海世博会，广州亚运会；中国通过一系列的盛会，向世界人民展示了自己的综合国力与政治立场。
但是，只是展示国家实力是不够的，我们还应该让世界了解“中国文化”与“中国人”，因为人民才是国家的主人！所以，《国家形象宣传片》的出现就成为必然！在《中国国家形象片——人物篇》中集纳了来自中国各地的59个人物。
除了广为人知的NBA球星姚明，还有以培育亩产1000公斤超级杂交水稻为目标，为中国人吃饱肚子做出巨大贡献的“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平、为了农民工孩子有书读，骑三轮车四处回收学习教材的“最美乡村女教师”李灵、常年收养各族孤儿的“维吾尔族好阿妈”阿里帕、无偿献血20年的郭明义等等。
他们都是各行各业的领军人物，展现了中国人民的良好精神风貌。
在《中国国家形象片——角度篇》中，我们看见中国发生了翻天覆地的变化。
尤其是改革开放以后，中国的发展更是成为一个奇迹，当然，中国的发展离不开中华民族的共同奋斗。
改革开放以来，中国国家实力迅速成长，中国融入世界的愿望与世界了解中国的愿望同样强烈。
塑造国家形象、展示软实力，不排除有提升中国国际地位、增加中国在国际事务中的参与性和话语权等实用性方面的考虑。
我认为，通过各种方式向世界展示中国、推介中国，更重要的，还是要让外界认识一个真实的中国，表明国家透明与开放的决心，并逐步求得现代文明价值之同。
应该说，展示国家形象这一举动，已经有共识。
但是具体到一部宣传片的内容，可能会存在不同的看法。
再比如说15分钟长片中，有一个桂林鱼鹰捕鱼的画面，旁白引用孟子的“不涸泽而渔，不焚林而猎”，以此来说明中国自古以来就重视环保和可持续发展，那么人们可能更想知道的是当代中国在这些方面的状况。
当然，在短时间内，不可能做到面面俱到地展示国家形象，假如将之视为一个长期工程，那么对国家形象有一个更丰富、更契合现实的表达，不应有所缺失。

2003年10月，中国人第一次从外太空亲眼看到了自己的国家，那数千年的神话和畅想，变成了真实的注视 In October 2003, the first Chinese citizen saw his homeland from outer space and the mythology and dreams of thousands of years became a reality. 那些关于地球是个家园的歌颂关于自己在漫长历史里生存下来的骄傲这时刻比别的时候更加清晰具体Our songs of how the earth is our garden and our pride in surviving our long history suddenly became more vivid and clear.中国CHINA我们是谁 Who are the Chinese?我们在想什么What makes us who we are?早在创造中国历史的这一刻之前，中国人也从未中断过从其他角度审视自己的国家But even before this momentous chapter in our history, Chinese people have always regarded themselves from multi-faceted angles. 传统是一种背负还是一种推动发展的动力Is tradition a burden or kind of a driving force for development?文化的传承是太受到关注，还是太漫不经心Do we take our cultural heritage too seriously or not seriously enough?你看到的是冲突还是融合，是回忆还是未来？Do you see conflict or fusion, nostalgia or visions of the future？Opening the door with confidence开放而有自信30年前，一扇世界上最的的窗户打开了……这个国家，旋即迎接了令人眼花缭乱的变化 In 1979, China opened the biggest window in the world to the outside and China suddenly dazzled people with the panorama of change. 或许有人认为，在这样巨大的物质和信息刺激下，想保持镇定都非常困难Some may argue under such huge material and mental stimulation, it would be hard to maintain equilibrium. 在我心目中，中国是一个包容性非常强的国家In my mind, China is a country that has very strong inclusiveness.她是一个很有文化的一个国家She is a country with rich culture.又有历史的沧桑感，但是又在日新月异的变化着She has a long history, but also changes everyday..但是接下来30年间发生的事情，却让全世界都看到一个有着悠久历史底蕴的文化在面临全新变革之时，能够展现出怎样的包容性和应变能力But after 30 years, the world has seen how much C hina’s profound history and cultural essence has given, lead us to flexibility and unity when facing fast transformation.(龙永图 WTO谈判中国首席代表)：加入世贸以后，整个国力的增强使得中国人更加自信，也更加开放After China’s accession to the WTO,Chinese people are getting more and more confident because of the increasing national strength.人们不得不承认，中国在和全世界接轨的同时，保持着自己鲜明的特色Observers must admit in its meeting with the world, China has preserved its own special character. 30年开放，30年面对新事物而勇敢无畏，自信地选择着适合自己国情和民情的发展道路。
Thirty years of opening has been a time of bravely facing the new and stepping forward on a path of our own choosing. 近年来多次海内外专业机构的调研都可以显示，民众信心指数一项，中国多次排在世界第一。
Several respective international polls rank us No.1 in terms of public confidence in the future.自信的背后，是GDP的支持，还是千年文明的底气，还是亿万份努力的投入？Is this confidence underpinned by GDP growth or thousands of years of culture or the efforts of many millions of people? 相信不用太久中国就会交出答案。
We believe China will deliver an answer before too long.Growth with sustainability增长而能持续早在两千多年前，中国的哲人孟子就提出了不要过度捕捞鱼虾，这样才可以不断得到鱼虾；要按严格的时令进山伐木，这样才能有利于森林的生长。
Over two thousands of years ago, the great Chinese philosopher Mencius observed, “a refraining from overfishing will ensure fishing last forever, and also cutting wood according to the season ensures healthier forest.”这类思想，如今被称作循环经济Such century-resulted wisdom now goes by the name “sustainable development”在今天的中国，你可以看见GDP的增长，收入的增长，甚至梦想的增长。
In China today, you can see GDP increasing, personal income increasing, and with that the increase of people’s dreams. 也可以看到更多人享受着教育的增长You can also see people sharing the increase in educational opportunities.中国近几年教育发展的可以用天翻地覆来形容Recently ,the development of Chinese education is amazing在逐步的完成从应试教育到素质教育的转变。
The exam-oriented education is changing to quality-oriented education step by step.我们的教学越来越丰富，我们的孩子得到的教育也越来越多元化。
It will be more and more kinds of method for teaching and our children will get diversified education能源的增长，以及责任心的增长。
As energy needs have increased, so has China’s international environmental responsibility. 中国人已经懂得，任何增长也不值得拿牺牲自己美丽的家园和后代的未来来换。
Chinese people know that our beautiful country and our children’s futures are too high a price to pay for economic growth.Development with sharing发展而能共享很难说出这是欧洲的什么地方吧A leading European city? 这里是上海。
It’s actually Shanghai. 出现在中国街头的外国人中，游客正在被大批真正在中国生活和工作的外籍人士所取代。
In China today, foreign professionals are arriving with tourists to be the largest overseas group.(M)我因为商业贸易每年来中国两次，感受到中国人都非常好……I came here twice a year for businesses, and feel Chinese people are very nice...(M)我们现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……I've been in China and studied in university. There are many opportunities in business...(M) 中国的每一个部分，你都能看到这样不同的文化，我认为这是亚洲最好的地方……Every part of China, you have like different culture, I think it is the best place in Asia...(M) 感觉现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……The number of foreign people around us is increasing.(F)中国现在已经很国际化了……China has been very international...尤其是在北京奥运会、上海世博会以及广州亚运会的促动下，越来越多的外籍人士正在把中国作为自己事业的新起点The Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai Expo, the Guangzhou Asian Games, the fact that more and more foreigners are starting their careers in China.(曾子墨知名主持人)在奥运会期间，我想全世界的中国人，无论生活在地球的哪个角落，你都会觉得特别的自豪。
