　　【翻譯練習(xí)】

　　從某種意義上說，漢語是一種很古老的語言，其最早的漢字已有近四千年的歷史了。漢字在其漫長的發(fā)展史中演化成許多不同的書寫形式，例如篆書、隸書、楷書和行書。中國書法家往往使?jié)h字的字形夸張以取得藝術(shù)效果，例如旅游勝地的一些石刻碑文。中國書法是一門研究藝術(shù)，隨著各位學(xué)習(xí)興趣的提高，我們將適時介紹中國書法的流派，以及如何欣賞中國書法的藝術(shù)性。中華民族的傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深、源遠(yuǎn)流長。早在2 000多年前，就產(chǎn)生了儒家學(xué)說和道家學(xué)說，以及其他很多在中國思想史上有地位的學(xué)說流派，這就是有名的“諸子百家”。從孔夫子到孫中山，中華民族傳統(tǒng)文化有它的很多珍貴品質(zhì)。比如“天下興亡，匹夫有責(zé)”的愛國情操，“民為邦本”、“民貴君輕”的民本思想和“己所不欲，勿施于人”的行為準(zhǔn)則。

　　The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2 000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism and Taoism, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term “the Hundred Schools of Thought”. From Confucius to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas. For example, they lay stress on. patriotism as embodied in the saying “Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country.”, the populist ideas that “People are the foundation of the country.” and that “The people are more important than the monarch” and the code of conduct of “Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you”.
