Unit 1 Chinese Mythology
• The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes (1855) • The Age of Chivalry, or Legends of King Arthur (1858) • Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages (1863)
Huainanzi
• The Huáinánzǐ (Chinese: 淮南子; Wade–Giles: Huai-nan Tzu; literally: "The Masters/Philosophers of Huainan") is a 2nd-century BCE Chinese philosophical classic from the Han dynasty that blends Daoist, Confucianist, and Legalist concepts, including theories such as Yin-Yang and the Five Phases. It was written under the patronage of Liu An, King of Huainan, a legendarily prodigious author. The text, also known as the Huainan honglie 淮南鸿烈 ("The Great Brilliance of Huainan"), is a collection of essays presented as resulting from literary and philosophical debates between Liu and guests at his court, in particular the scholars known as the Eight Immortals of Huainan. • The Huainanzi was the first Chinese classic text to use the Pythagorean comma, and to precisely analyze 12-tone tuning in Chinese music (McClain and Ming 1979:213, 206), although the latter was preceded by bronze inscriptions on the (433 BCE) bells of the Marquis Yi of Zeng (Temple 1986:199).

英语畅谈中国文化第一单元课文翻译及翻译练习
英语畅谈中国文化第一单元课文翻译及翻译练习孔子的修身思想1. 春秋战国是经济、政治和社会巨大转变时期。
这期间，经过长期的社会动乱和战争，古代沿袭下来的文化传统遭到破坏。
孔子意识到这一点，并承担起坚守和恢复伟大传统文化的使命。
《论语》是孔子言行的记录，由其弟子及其再传弟子记录整理而成。
我们可以从《论语》中了解孔子的政治哲学思想。
2. 孔子重视人生现实，尽量避开玄虚的问题，他曾经对学生说，“未知生，焉知死（人们连活的事情都搞不明白，就不该考虑太多关于死的问题）。
”他对鬼神并不完全否认，但是他更加在意祭礼上参与者的虔诚和用心。
他主张“敬鬼神而远之”，人们不要纠结于鬼神是否真的存在这一问题。
因此，虽然儒学从严格意义上来讲不是宗教，但在中国人日常生活中却又起到了和宗教相似的作用。
3. 孔子在《论语》中并没有提及许多有关天（自然）的事情，这说明他对自然的兴趣并不像他对人世间的事物那样强烈。
4. 孔子认为，最根本的关系是父子关系。
一个人自出生便不可能改变其出生地、父母以及和其他家庭成员的关系。
既然这些关系无法逃避，孔子的态度就是从最开始去理解这种天生的亲情关系，培养出一种孝的感情。
5. 《论语》认为，孝是人类情感的根本，它来自于人对自己生命原始状态的体会。
人们通过改善最初的家庭关系，增强自己的孝心。
人类的爱心起初来自于亲情，进而推己及人，将这份爱延伸到其它人身上，这就接近于博爱了。
孝是仁的根本，如果人们认真体会孝之本，道就慢慢成长起来。
人的情感始于对亲人的孝，然后将这种孝推广至亲密的人以及整个人类。
6. 简言之，孔子认为人只有先有了孝这个人际关系的源头以后，才能成就自我。
我们必须意识到这种天生的情感，对它不断滋养和培育，再推广到其它社会关系中，如君臣关系、夫妻关系、朋友关系。
就这样，孔子建立了从个人修身到齐家、教化社会的学说，主张从把握人际关系的基点开始，建立和谐的关系。
7. 在《论语》中，孔子提出“仁”主要是通过“礼”实现的。
