　　中國(guó)，地球上最吸引人的國(guó)家之一，有5000多年的歷史，是目前全球第二大經(jīng)濟(jì)體(the second largest economy)。隨著廣泛的經(jīng)濟(jì)改革，中國(guó)正經(jīng)歷著顯著、快速的變化。1949年以前的中國(guó)極端貧困、收入不平衡(incomeinequalities)、國(guó)家不安全。由于經(jīng)濟(jì)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(guó)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(shí)尚的衣服。

　　China, one of the most fascinating countries on Earth, has a history of more than 5,000 years and is currently the second largest economy in the world.China is going through a remarkable and rapid change with widespread economic reforms.Before 1949, China was characterized by extreme poverty, income inequalities, and insecurity.Since 1980，thanks to the economic reforms, people's standard of living started to climb beyond the basic level.The general population had adequate food, clothing, and housing, and ordinary families could afford to eat a variety of foods and wear stylish clothing.

翻譯原文：

　　中國(guó)的社會(huì)關(guān)系是典型的由共同的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)(socialnetwork)組成的社會(huì)關(guān)系。社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的個(gè)體通過(guò)“關(guān)系”相連，關(guān)系中的情感被稱為“感情”。中國(guó)的社會(huì)關(guān)系中一個(gè)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(guó)學(xué)術(shù)大家費(fèi)孝通的社會(huì)學(xué)著作中所寫的那樣，中國(guó)人一跟其他社會(huì)的人相比一傾向于從社會(huì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)角度看社會(huì)關(guān)系。因此，人們的關(guān)系以“近”或者“遠(yuǎn)”界定，而不是“有”或者“無(wú)”。

　　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(guó)是亞洲第—大國(guó)，世界第三大國(guó)，有著比其他任何國(guó)家都多的人口。中國(guó)的人口超過(guò)十億，這意味著地球上超過(guò)五分之一的人都生活在中國(guó)。但是，中國(guó)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(guó)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(zhǎng)江(the Yangtze River)流域往北，直至首都北京的大片區(qū)域是中國(guó)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.
