　　中國，地球上最吸引人的國家之一，有5000多年的歷史，是目前全球第二大經(jīng)濟體(the second largest economy)。隨著廣泛的經(jīng)濟改革，中國正經(jīng)歷著顯著、快速的變化。1949年以前的中國極端貧困、收入不平衡(incomeinequalities)、國家不安全。由于經(jīng)濟改革，從1980年開始，人民的生活水平開始提升至基本水平之上。全國人口有了足夠的食物、衣服和住房，普通家庭可以吃得起各種各樣的食物，穿得上時尚的衣服。

　　中國的社會關(guān)系是典型的由共同的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)(socialnetwork)組成的社會關(guān)系。社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的個體通過“關(guān)系”相連，關(guān)系中的情感被稱為“感情”。中國的社會關(guān)系中一個非常重要的概念是“面子”概念，就像其他許多亞洲文化中的一樣。正如中國學術(shù)大家費孝通的社會學著作中所寫的那樣，中國人一跟其他社會的人相比一傾向于從社會網(wǎng)絡(luò)角度看社會關(guān)系。因此，人們的關(guān)系以“近”或者“遠”界定，而不是“有”或者“無”。

　　參考譯文：

　　Chinese social relationships are social relationshipstypified by a mutual social network. The individualswithin the social network are connected byguanxi(links) and the feeling within the links is knownby the term ganqing.An important concept withinChinese social relationships is the concept of face,as in many other Asian cultures. As articulated in the sociological works of Chinese leadingacademic Fei Xiaotong, the Chinese，in contrast to people of other societies,tend to seesocial relationships in terms of social networks. Hence, the relationships between people areperceived as being “near” or “far” rather than “in” or “out”.

　　中國是亞洲第—大國，世界第三大國，有著比其他任何國家都多的人口。中國的人口超過十億，這意味著地球上超過五分之一的人都生活在中國。但是，中國有大片區(qū)域幾乎沒有人煙，人們可能旅行好幾天都看不到人類生命的跡象。中國的大多數(shù)人口生活在東部地區(qū)。與其他地區(qū)相比，東部人口密集，幾乎所有可已被開墾(under cultivation)。從長江(the Yangtze River)流域往北，直至首都北京的大片區(qū)域是中國最大的人口聚居區(qū)。

　　參考譯文：

　　As the largest nation in Asia and the third largest inthe world, China has the largest population in theglobe.China has a population of more than onebillion,which means that more than one fifth ofpeople on earth live in China. But vast areas in Chinaare almost deserted, and one can travel for dayswithout seeing signs of human life. Most of the people in China live in the eastern part of thecountry. In contrast to other parts of China, the east has a dense population,and almostevery piece of arable land is under cultivation. The largest compact community of people isin the region that stretches from the north Yangtze River to Beijing,the capital.
