阅读理解之高级题目讲练5
Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his
experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog(视频博客).
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word
dongxi. He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one
theory( 说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. He told people that all
marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from
east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi, you'd be saying,“I'm going to
buy things.”
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in
Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40 000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,”Boris said.“But sadly, they know
little about Chinese culture and the country.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung
fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that
developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view
changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China
are still stuck in the 1970s,”Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share
Chinese culture in 2019.”
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But
making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to
Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
“I can understand and read every word in the poem,”Boris said.“But to touch
readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.”So he needed to look for much
background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that
his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging
the differences between two cultures.“This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will
spare no efforts to do my part.”
