中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪(tuhao)
和大妈(dama)都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人。
也就是说，土豪有钱，但没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但现在特指不久前金价下跌
时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版牛津(Oxford)英语词典。至今已有约l20个中文词被加进
了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。

反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道
家（Taoist）对自然的感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题，一是家庭生活的各种幸福
场景，画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶，男人在耕耘收割，妇女在织布缝衣，小孩在户外玩耍。
另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣，画有渔夫在湖上打渔，农夫在山上砍柴采药，或是书生坐
在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家（Confucian）和道家的生活理想。
The ideal of country life reflected in art and literature is a prominent feature of Chinese
civilization, which is largely attributed to the Taoist affections for nature. There are two most
favored themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One theme is the happy scenes of family life

中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。中国宴席上典型的菜单包括开
席的一套凉菜及其后的热菜，例如肉类、鸡鸭、蔬菜等。大多数宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不
可少的，除非已经上过各式海鲜。如今，中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，
因此牛排上桌也不少见。沙拉也已流行起来，尽管传统上中国人一般不吃任何未经烹饪的菜
肴。宴席通常至少有一道汤，可以最先或最后上桌。甜点和水果通常标志宴席的结束。
The traditional Chinese hospitality requires that the foods served be so diverse that guests
cannot finish all the dishes. A typical Chinese banquet menu includes cold dishes served at the
beginning,followedbyhotdishes,suchasmeat,poultry,vegetables,andsoon.Atmostbanquets,
the whole fish is considered to be essential, unless various kinds of seafood have been served.
Nowadays, Chinese people would like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese
dishes. Therefore, it is notrare to see steak being served, either. Salad has also gained popularity,

汉朝是中国历史上最重要的朝代之一。汉朝统治期间有很多显著的成就。它最先向其他
文化敞开大门，对外贸易兴旺。汉朝开拓的丝绸之路通向了中西亚乃至罗马。各类艺术一派
繁荣，涌现了很多文学、历史、哲学巨著。公元l00年中国第一部字典编撰完成，收入9,000
个字，提供释义并列举不同的写法。其间，科技方面也取得了很大进步，发明了纸张、水钟、
日晷(sundials)以及测量地震的仪器。汉朝历经400年，但统治者的腐败最终导致了它的灭亡。

2011年是中国城市化(urbanization)进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。
在未来20年里，预计约有3.5亿农村人口将移居到城市。如此规模的城市发展对城市交通
来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本’’的发展理念，强调人们以公交而
不是私家车出行。它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国
城市就可以更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。
The year of 2011 is a historic moment in the process of urbanization in China, when the
urban population exceeded the rural population for the first time. In the next 20 years, it is
estimated that about 350 million rural residents will migrate to cities. Such a scale of urban
development is both a challenge and an opportunity for urban transportation. The Chinese
government has always been advocating the concept of "people-oriented" development, stressing
that people should travel by buses instead of private cars. It also calls for the construction of
"resource-saving and environment-friendly society". With this explicit goal, Chinese cities can
7make better plans for their development, and turn a massive investment into the development of
safe,cleanandeconomicaltransportationsystem.

在中国，父母总是竭力帮助孩子，甚至为孩子做重要决定，而不管孩子想要什么，因为
他们相信这样做是为孩子好。结果，孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿。如果父母决
定为孩子报名参加一个课外班，以增加其被重点学校录取的机会，他们会坚持自己的决定。
即使孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国，父母很可能会尊重孩子的意见，并在决策时更注重他
们的意见。中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞，然而，他们应向美国父母学习在涉及教育
时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系。
8In China, parents always strive to help their children, even making important decisions for
themwithoutconsideringwhatthechildrenwant,becausetheybelievetheyaredoingwhatisbest

最近，中国政府决定将其工业升级。中国现在涉足建造高速列车、远洋船舶、机器人，
甚至飞机。不久前，中国获得了在印度尼西亚(Indonesia)建造一条高铁的合同；中国还与马
来西亚(Malaysia)签署了为其提供高速列车的合同。这证明人们信赖中国造产品。
中国造产品越来越受欢迎。中国为此付出了代价，但这确实有助于消除贫困，同时还为
世界各地的人们提供了就业机会。这是一件好事，值得称赞。下次你去商店时，可能想看一
看你所购商品的出产国名。很有可能这件商品是中国造的。
Recently, the Chinese government has decided to upgrade its industries. China is now
engaged in the construction of high-speed trains, ocean-going vessels, robots, and even airplanes.
Notlong ago, China won a contractto build ahigh-speed railway in Indonesia and also signed an
agreement with Malaysia to supply high-speed trains. This shows that people trust products made
inChina.
"MadeinChina"isgainingincreasingpopularity. AlthoughChinahaspaidapriceforthis,it
has indeed helped reduce poverty and created job opportunities for people around the world. This
is a positive development and deserves recognition. Next time you go shopping, you might want

旗袍(qipao)是一种雅致的中国服饰，源于中国的满族(ManchuNationality)。在清代，
旗袍是王室女性穿着的宽松长袍。上世纪20年代，受西方服饰影响，旗袍发生了一些变化。
袖口(cuffs)变窄，袍身变短。这些变化使女性美得以充分展现。
如今，旗袍经常出现在世界级的时装秀上。中国女性出席重要社交聚会时，旗袍往往是
她们的首选。很多中国新娘也会选择旗袍作为结婚礼服。一些有影响的人士甚至建议将旗袍
作为中国女性的民族服饰。
Qipao, an elegant Chinese dress, originates from China’s Manchu Nationality. In the Qing
Dynasty, it was worn as a loose-fitting gown by women of the royal family. In the 1920s, due to
the influence of Western fashion, the qipao underwent subtle changes—its cuffs grew narrower

more than 100 kilometers away. Although Yangshan Port appears to be bustling, no manual
operations can be seen on site, and it operates continuously around the clock. The port will
continue to develop and make greater contributions to building Shanghai into a global shipping
hub.
