第二章-汉英翻译技巧教程文件

Passage one
• 当代社会的民族文化不可能在自我封闭的 状态下得到发展。不同的文化应该相互学 习，取长补短。当然，在广泛的文化交流 中，一个国家必须保持本民族的鲜明特色 。我认为，文化交流不是让外来文化吞没 自己的文化，而是为了丰富各民族的文化 。
• In this modern world, the culture of any nation cannot develop in isolation. Different cultures should learn from each other’s strength to offset their own weakness. Of course, the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures. Cultural exchange, I think, is by no means a process of losing one’s own culture to a foreign one, but a process of enriching each other’s national cultures.
