2018年12月英语六级翻译练习:中国文化
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
翻译大家许渊冲先生说过:“21世纪要建设世界文化,不能仅关注一个国家的文化;但要建设世界文化,中国文化在其中发挥着举足轻重的作用。回顾中西方文化发展历史,在2000年前,中国文化和西方文化是并立的,西方有荷马史诗,中国有《诗经》、《楚辞》;在1000年前,中国有汉唐文化,西方有宗教文化,西方文化不如中国文化繁华发展;但在最近500年来,西方文化呈现压倒中国文化之势;一直到21世纪中国提出”中国梦“,中国文化逐渐复兴,才又跟西方文化并起。”这段话告诉我们,要实现“中国梦”就要大力复兴中国文化,作为祖国的未来,我们大学生有责任有义务了解中国文化、传承中国文化。
参考译文
Xu refers to a state of the cosmos or a state of mind. Basically, it has two different meanings. The first refers to the origin of the universe, indicating that everything originates from xu, Different ancient thinkers have different interpretations of this notion: Some take xu as being devoid of anything; others believe it is the state of existence of qi(气). Because qi is invisible and formless, It is said to be empty, but not a vacuum totally devoid of anything. The second meaning of xu refers to a state of mind that is peaceful, not preoccupied or simply free of any preconceptions.
