Regarded as the precious legacy of Chinese culture, the complete theory of Confucius, which embraces the study in philosophy, politics, ethics and education, has influenced China for over 2,000 years. Meanwhile, his thoughts also have a profound impact on the world and have advanced the development of world civilization.2.中国航天工程神舟号宇宙飞船以其十次成功发射给全世界留下了印象。
1992年，中国载人航天工程正式获得批准。
1999年11月20日，中国首只无人操作飞船“神舟一号”成功发射，这标志着中国在太空探索中取得首个巨大突破。
在接下来的三年，无人操作飞船的几次试验飞行(test flight)相继执行。
第五次发射的“神舟五号”在2003年10月15日第一次将中国首位宇航员送入太空。
自此，中国成为继俄罗斯和美国之后第三个具备自主载人航天能力的国家。
Shenzhou spacecraft of China’s space program has already made a worldwide impression with 10 successful blastoffs. China’s Manned Space Program was formally approved In 1992. On November 20, 1999, China’s first unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou 1, was successfully launched, which marked China’s first great breakthrough in space exploration. In the following three years, several test flights of unmanned spacecrafts were successively carried out. The fifth launch, Shenzhou 5, was the first to carry first Chinese astronaut into space on 15 October 2003. Since then, China has became the third country in the world to have independent manned space flight capability after Russia and the United States.3.闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。
丝绸之路延伸6，000多公里，得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。
丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。
正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。
同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。
物质文化的交流是双向的，欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需求。
The well-known Silk Road is a series of routes linking the East and the West. Extending over 6,000 kilometers, the Silk Road got its name from the silk trade in ancient China. Trades on the Silk Road played significant roles in the development of the civilizations of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It is through the Silk Road that the Four Great Inventions in China-paper-making, gun powder, compass and printing-were introduced to all over the world. Likewise, silk, tea and porcelain spread globally from China as well. Since the exchange of the material culture is always a two-way phenomenon, Europe has also exported various commodities and plants by means of the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.4.中国园林(the Chinese garden)是经过三千多年演变而成的独具一格的园林景观(landscape)。
它既包括为皇室成员享乐而建造的大型花园，也包括学者、商人和卸任的政府官员为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的私家花园。
这些花园构成了一种意在表达人与自然之间应有的和谐关系的微缩景观。
典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山(rockwork)、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。
漫步在花园中，人们可以看到一系列精心设计的景观犹如山水画卷(scroll)一般展现在面前。
The Chinese garden has evolved into a kind of unique landscape over the past 3,000 years. It includes both large gardens built as entertainment venues for the members of the royal family, and private gardens built as retreats for scholars, merchants and retired government officials. These gardens have constituted a miniature intended to express the idea that man should live in harmony with nature. A typical Chinese garden is surrounded by walls and consists of various buildings linked by winding trails and corridors, with ponds, rockworks, trees and flowers scattered in it. Wandering in such a garden, people may see a series of well-designed landscapes showing themselves just like a scroll of painting featuring landscapes.5.能源是人类社会赖以生存和发展的重要物质基础。
人类文明跨出重要的每一步都伴随着能源的革新和更替(substitution)。
能源的开发利用(utilization)极大地推进了世界经济和人类社会的发展。
中国是目前世界上第二位能源生产国和消费国。
能源供应的持续增长，为经济增长和社会发展提供了重要的支撑。
能源消费的快速增长，为世界能源市场创造了广阔的发展空间。
作为世界能源市场不可替代的重要组成部分，中国在维护全球能源安全上，正在发挥着越来越重要的积极作用。
Energy is an essential material basis for human survival and development. Every significant step in the progress of human civilization has been accompanied by energy innovations and substitutions. The development and utilization of energy has enormously boosted the development of the world economy and human society. China is now the world’s second-largest energy producer and consumer. The sustained growth of energy supply has provided an important support for the country’s economic growth and social progress, while the rapid expansion of energy consumption has created a vast scope for the global energy market. As an irreplaceable component of the world energy market, China plays an increasingly important role in maintaining global energy security.6.新主流消费群(new mainstream customers)是指年收入超过10.6万元的消费人群。
