中国国家形象宣传片(无图片,已编辑)
中国国家形象宣传片国务院新闻办公室启动国家形象系列宣传片的拍摄工作，该片塑造和提升中国繁荣发展、民主进步、文明开放、和平和谐的国家形象而设立的重点项目，是在新时期探索对外传播新形式的一次有益尝试。
共分为两个部分，一部分是30秒长度的电视宣传片，另一部分是15分钟长度的短纪录片，国家形象系列宣传片自立项以来，得到了社会各界人士的踊跃参与和民众的广泛关注。
2011年1月12日，国家形象宣传片的人物篇已经制作完成，1月17日亮相纽约时报广场。
内容简介中国国家形象宣传片是由国务院新闻办公室发起，并委托该公司制作的一部国家形象宣传片。
此次的国家形象宣传片分为两个部分。
一部分是30秒长度的电视宣传片，即目前已经公映的人物篇，参与拍摄的人员都是国内外比较有影响力人，其中有：李嘉诚、王建宙、李彦宏、马云、丁磊、郎咸平、邓亚萍、姚明、刘翔、丁俊晖、陈鲁豫、林浩、马艳丽。
将会在国际主流媒体播出，以“中国人”概念打造中国形象。
另一部分是17分钟长度的短纪录片，并供我国驻外使领馆及重要外宣活动使用，力图从更多角度、更广阔的视野展示当代中国。
产生背景“中国到了需要来树立国家形象的阶段。
”中国社会科学院世界经济与政治研究所副所长李向阳接受记者采访时表示，随着综合实力的日益增强，中国融入全球化的程度越来越深，对全球政治、外交、金融等方面影响越来越大。
而中国此前在塑造自身形象方面，无论是政府和民间都做得还不够。
自北京奥运会以来，中国展示“软实力”的工作开始加强：放宽外国记者在境内采访的限制，借助国际媒体的影响力来客观报道中国。
而国家形象广告也成为展现“软实力”的另一渠道。
2010年国庆节前，国新办将在国际主流媒体，面向世界观众，播放中国的国家形象宣传。
国家形象的宣传片拍摄工作的启动，标志着中国国家公关时代已经到来。
正式启动的国家形象宣传片，在中国传媒大学研究员李未柠等专家看来，标志着中国开始更加自信、主动地展示自己的“软实力”，争夺国际话语权，中国国家公关时代已经来临。

But there is great beauty here, too.China is home to the world's highest mountains,vast deserts ranging from searing灼热的hotto mind-numbing乏味/厌烦的cold.Steaming冒蒸汽的forests harbouring rare稀有的creatures.Grassy多草的plains beneath vast horizons.And rich tropical seas.Now for the first time ever,we can explore the whole of this great country,meet some of the surprising and exotic外(国)来的/奇异的creatures that live here and consider the relationship of the people and wildlife of Chinato the remarkable引人注目的landscape in which they live.This is <Wild China>.Our exploration of China begins in the warm, subtropical亚热带的south.On the Li River, fishermen and birds perch暂栖on bamboo rafts木排/筏；a partnership that goes back more than a thousand years.This scenery风景/布景is known throughout遍及the world,a recurring再发的motif(作品)主题in Chinese paintings.And a major tourist attraction.The south of China is a vast广阔的area,eight times larger than the UK.It's a landscape of hills but also of water.(THUNDER RUMBLING(发)隆隆声)It rains here for up to 250 days a year,and standing water is everywhere.(THUNDER RUMBLING)In the floodplain河滩of the Yangtze River,black-tailed godwits黑尾鹬yùprobe探索the mud in search of worms.But isn't just wildlife that thrives兴旺in this environment.The swampy沼泽/泥泞的ground provides ideal conditionsfor a remarkable member of the grass family.Rice.The Chinese have been cultivating栽培rice for at least 8,000 years.It has transformed the landscape.Late winter in southern Yunnan is a busy time for local farmersas they prepare the age-old paddy稻田fields ready for the coming spring. These hill slopes斜坡of the Yuanyang County plunge猛冲nearly 2,000 metres to the floor of the Red River valley.Each contains literally简直thousands of stacked成堆的terraces地坪/梯田carved out by hand using basic digging tools.Yunnan's rice terraces are among the oldest human structures in China.Still ploughed犁, as they always have been,by domesticated驯化的water buffaloes,whose ancestors originated in these very valleys.This man-made landscapeis one of the most amazing engineering feats功绩of pre-industrial China.It seems as if every square平方inch of landhas been pressed into cultivation耕作.As evening approaches, an age-old ritual(宗教等的)仪式unfolds展开.It's the mating交配seasonand male paddy frogs are competing for the attention of the females.But it doesn't always pay to draw too much attention to yourself.The Chinese pond heron苍鹭is a pitiless predator食肉动物. (SQUAWKS)Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field,nature is red in beak鸟喙and claw爪.This may look like a slaughter屠杀but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time,the vast majority will escape to croak蛙鸣another day.Terraced paddies like those of the Yuanyang Countyare found across much of southern China.This whole vast landscape is dominated by rice cultivation.In hilly多小山的Guizhou Province,the Miao minority have developed a remarkable rice culture.With every inch of fertile肥沃的land given over to rice cultivation,the Miao build their wooden houseson the steepest and least productive hillsides山腰.In Chinese rural农村的life, everything has a use.Dried in the sun, manure肥料from the cow sheds棚will be used as cooking fuel.(WOMEN CHATTERING IN CHINESE)It's midday正午, and the Song familyare tucking into大吃a lunch of rice and vegetables.(SPEAKING IN CHINESE)Oblivious to the domestic家庭的chit-chat闲聊,Granddad Gu Yong Xiu has serious matters on his mind.Spring is the start of the rice growing season.The success of the crop作物will determine how well the family will eat next year, so planting at the right time is critical决定性的.The ideal date日期depends on what the weather will do this year,never easy to predict.But there is some surprising help at hand.On the ceiling of the Songs' living room, a pair of red-rumped尾的swallows, newly arrived from their winter migration,is busy fixing up last year's nest.In China, animals are valued as much for their symbolic meaningas for any good they may do.Miao people believe that swallow pairs remain faithful for life,so their presence is a favour恩惠and a blessing,bringing happiness to a marriage and good luck to a home.Like most Miao dwellings民居, the Songs' living room windowslook out over the paddy fields.From early spring, one of these windows is always left opento let the swallows come and go freely.Each year, granddad Gu notes注意/记录the exact day the swallows return.Miao people believe the birds' arrival predicts the timing时间安排of the season ahead.This year, they were late.So Gu and the other community elders have agreedthat rice planting should be delayed accordingly.As the Miao prepare their fields for planting,the swallows collect mud to repair their nestsand chase after insects across the newly ploughed paddies.Finally, after weeks of preparation,the ordained命令time for planting has arrived.But first the seedlings幼苗must be uprooted连根拔起from the nursery保育beds and bundled捆up ready to be transported to their new paddyhigher up the hillside.All the Songs' neighbours have turned out to help with the transplanting移栽.It's how the community has always worked.When the time comes, the Songs will return the favour.While the farmers are busy in the fields,the swallows fly back and forth with material for their nest.Many hands make light work.Planting the new paddy takes little more than an hour.Job done, the villagers can relax,at least until tomorrow.But for the nesting swallows, the work of raising a familyhas only just begun.In the newly planted fields, little egrets白鹭hunt for food.The rice paddies harbour tadpoles蝌蚪, fish and insectsand the egrets have chicks小鸟to feed.This colony(动/植物的)群体in Chongqing Province was established in 1996, when a few dozen birds built nests in the bamboo grove丛behind Yang Guang village.Believing they were a sign迹象of luck,local people initially protected the egrets and the colony grew.But their attitude changed when the head of the village fell ill.They blamed the birds and were all set to决心destroy their nests,when the local government stepped in干预to protect them.Bendy易弯的bamboo may not be the safest nesting place,but at least this youngster won't end up as someone's dinner.These chicks have just had an eel鳝鱼delivered by their mum,quite a challenge for little beaks.(CHIRPING鸣叫)Providing假如their colonies are protected,wading涉水birds like egrets are among the few wild creatureswhich benefit directly from intensive rice cultivation.Growing rice needs lots of water.But even in the rainy south,there are landscapes where water is surprisingly scarce.This vast area of southwest China,the size of France and Spain combined,is famous for its clusters群of conical圆锥体的hills,like giant upturned翻过来的egg cartons纸板盒, separated by dry empty valleys. This is the karst喀斯特, a limestone石灰石terrain地形which has become the defining image of southern China.Karst landscapes are often studded钉扣with rocky outcrops(岩石）露头, forcing local farmers to cultivate tiny fields.The people who live here are among the poorest in China.In neighbouring Yunnan Province,limestone rocks have taken over entirely.This is the famous Stone Forest,the product of countless years of erosion腐蚀,producing a maze迷宫of deep gullies小峡谷and sharp-edged pinnacles顶点. Limestone has the strange property性能that it dissolves in rainwater.Over many thousands of years water has corroded腐蚀its waydeep into the heart of the bedrock岩床/底itself.This natural wonder is a famous tourist spot,receiving close to two million visitors each year.The Chinese are fond of curiously-shaped rocksand many have been given fanciful想象的names.No prizes奖赏for guessing what this one is called!But there's more to this landscape than meets the eye.China has literally thousands of mysterious caverns洞穴concealed隐藏beneath the visible landscape of the karst.Much of this hidden world has never been seen by human eyesand is only just now being explored.(MAN SPEAKING CHINESE)For a growing band of intrepid勇敢的young Chinese explorers,caves represent the ultimate adventure.Exploring a cave is like taking a journey through time.A journey which endless raindrops will have followed over countless centuries. Fed by countless drips滴and trickles细流,the subterranean地下的river carves ever deeper into the rock.The cave river's course路线is channelled by the beds of limestone.A weakness in the rock can allow the riverto increase its gradient坡度and flow-rate,providing a real challenge for the cave explorers.The downward rush is halted when the water table is reached.Here the slow-flowing river carves tunnels地道with a more rounded profile轮廓. (MEN CHATTERING)This tranquil平静的world is home to specialised cave fishes,like the eyeless golden barb鱼钩.China may have more unique kinds of cave-evolved进化fishesthan anywhere else on earth.Above the water table,ancient caverns abandoned by the river slowly fill upwith stalactites钟乳石and stalagmites石笋.Stalactites form as trickling water deposits沉淀tiny quantities of rockover hundreds or thousands of years.Stalagmites grow up where lime-laden drips hit the cave floor.Oi!Whoo-hoo!So far, only a fraction片断of China's caves have been thoroughly prospected勘探and cavers are constantly discovering new subterranean marvels惊叹,many of which are subsequently接着developed into commercial show caves. Finally escaping the darkness,the cave river and its human explorers emerge in a valleyfar from where their journey began.For now, the adventure is over.Rivers which issue流出from cavesare the key to survival in the karst country.This vertical垂直的gorge峡谷in Guizhou Provinceis a focal焦点的point for the region's wildlife.This is one of the world's rarest primates,Frangois' langur长尾猴.In China they survive in just two southern provinces,Guizhou and Guangxi, always in rugged崎岖的limestone terrains.Like most monkeys, they are social creaturesand spend a great deal of time grooming梳理each other.Langurs are essentially本质上vegetarianwith a diet of buds叶芽, fruits and tender young leaves.Babies are born with ginger姜黄色的fur柔毛,which gradually turns black from the tail end.Young infants have a vice老虎钳-like grip, used to cling on to mum for dear life. As they get older, they get bolder and take more risks.Those that survive spend a lot of time travelling.The experienced adults know exactly where to find seasonal foodsin different parts of their range.In such steep terrain, travel involves a high level of climbing skill.These monkeys are spectacularly good rock climbersfrom the time they learn to walk.In langur society, females rule the roost栖息and take the lead when the family is on the move.One section of cliff悬崖oozes渗出a trickle of mineral-rich waterwhich the monkeys seem to find irresistible无法抗拒的.These days there are few predators in the Mayanghe Reserve自然保护区which might pose a risk to a baby monkey.But in past centuries, this area of south Chinawas home to leopards豹, pythons蟒蛇and even tigers.To survive dangerous night prowlers徘徊者, the langurs went underground, using their rock-climbing skills to seek shelter in inaccessible达不到的caverns. Filmed in near darkness using a night vision camera,the troop群clambers along familiar ledges岩架worn smooth by generations before them.During cold winter weather, the monkeys venture冒险deeper underground where the air stays comparatively相对地warm.At last, journey's end.A cosy niche壁龛beyond the reach of even the most enterprising有进取心的predator.But it's not just monkeys that find shelter in caves.These children are off to school.In rural China that may mean a long trek长途跋涉each morning,passing through a cave or two on the way.But not all pupils have to walk to school.These children are boarders寄宿者.(LAUGHING)As the day pupils near journey's end,the boarders are still making breakfast.In the schoolyard, someone seems to have switched开/关the lights off.But this is no ordinary playground, and no ordinary school.It's housed inside a cave!A natural vault穴of rock keeps out the rainso there's no need for a roof on the classroom.Zhongdong cave school is made up of six classes,with a total of 200 children.As well as the school, the cave houses 18 families,together with their livestock家畜.(COW MOOING哞哞叫)These could be the only cave-dwelling cows on earth.(PIG SQUEALS长而尖地叫)With schoolwork over, it's playtime at last.In southern China, caves aren't just used for shelter,they can be a source of revenue收入for the community.People have been visiting this cave for generations.The cave floor is covered in guano（海）鸟粪,so plentiful that 10 minutes' work can fill these farmer's baskets.It's used as a valuable source of fertilizer肥料.A clue to the source of the guano can be heard above the noise of the river.The sound originates high up in the roof of the cave.The entrance is full of swifts雨燕.They're very sociable birds.More than 200,000 of them share this cavein southern Guizhou Province, the biggest swift colony in China.These days, Chinese house swifts mostly nest in the roofs of buildings,but rock crevices裂缝like these were their original home,long before houses were invented.Though the swifts depend on the cave for shelter,they never stray走失further than the limits of daylight,as their eyes can't see in the dark.However, deep inside the cavern,other creatures are better equipped for subterranean life.A colony of bats is just waking up,using ultrasonic超声波的squeaks to orientate定位themselves in the darkness. Night is the time to go hunting.Rickett's mouse-eared bat is the only bat in Asiawhich specialises in catching fishes,tracking them down from the sound reflection of ripples涟漪on the water surface.This extraordinary behaviourwas only discovered in the last couple of years,and has never been filmed before.If catching fish in the dark is impressive,imagine eating a slippery minnow鲦鱼with no hands while hanging upside down. Dawn over the karst hills of Guilin.These remarkable hills owe their peculiar shapesto the mildly acid waters of the Li River,whose meandering蜿蜒而行course over eons千万年of timehas corroded away their bases until only the rocky cores remain.The Li is one of the cleanest rivers in China,a favourite spot for fishermen with their trained cormorants鸬鹚.(SPEAKING IN CHINESE)The men, all called Huang, come from the same village.Now in their 70s and 80s, they've been fishermen all their lives.Before they release the birds, they tie a noose绳套loosely松散地around the neck to stop them swallowing any fish they may catch.(SPLASHING溅泼)Chanting反复有节奏的喊叫and dancing,the Huangs encourage their birds to take the plunge.Underwater, the cormorant's hunting instinct本能kicks in生效,turning them into fish-seeking missiles导弹.(CHANTING)Working together, a good cormorant teamcan catch a couple of dozen decent-sized fish in a morning.(FISHERMEN EXCLAIMING呼喊)The birds return to the raft with their fishbecause they've been trained to do so.From the time it first hatched孵出, each of these cormorants has been reared养to a life of obedience顺从to its master.The birds are, in effect, slaves.But they're not stupid.It's said that cormorants can keep a tally记分of the fish they catch,at least up to seven.So unless they get a reward now and then they simply withdraw their labour.The fishermen, of course, keep the best fish for themselves.The cormorants get the leftover tiddlers小鱼儿.With its collar项圈removed, the bird at last can swallow its prize.Best of all, one it isn't meant to have!(FISHERMAN SHOUTING)These days, competition from modern fishing techniquesmeans the Huangs can't make a livingfrom traditional cormorant fishing alone.And this 1,300-year-old traditionis now practised mostly to entertain tourists.But on Caohai Lake in nearby Guizhou Province,an even more unusual fishing industry is alive and well.Geng Zhong Sheng is on his way to set out his nets for the night.Geng's net is a strange tubular管状的contraption奇妙的装置with a closed-off end. More than a hundred fishermen make their living from the lake.Its mineral-rich waters are highly productive,and there are nets everywhere.The next morning, Geng returns with his son to collect his catch.(SPEAKING CHINESE)At first sight, it looks disappointing.Tiny fishes, lots of shrimps, and some wriggling蠕动bugs.Geng doesn't seem too downhearted情绪低沉的.The larger fish are kept alive,the only way they'll stay fresh in the heat.Surprisingly, some of the bugs are also singled挑选(一个) out for special treatment. They're the young stage of dragonflies,predators that feed on worms and tadpoles.Nowhere else in the world are dragonfly nymphs少女harvested like this.Back home, Geng spreads his catch on the roof to dry.This being China, nothing edible will be wasted.There's a saying in the far south,"We will eat anything with legs except a table,"and anything with wings except a plane."Within a few hours, the dried insects are ready to be bagged upand taken to market.It's the dragonfly nymphs that fetch到达the best price.Fortunately, Caohai's dragonflies are abundant and fast-breeding.So Geng and his fellow fishermenhave so far had little impact on their numbers.But not all wildlife is so resilient适应力强的.(MONKS CHANTING)This Buddhist temple near Shanghai has an extraordinary story attached to it. In May 2007, a <Wild China> camera teamfilmed this peculiar Swinhoe黄嘴's turtle in the temple's fish pond. According to the monks, the turtle had been given to the templeduring the Ming dynasty, over 400 years ago.It was thought to be the oldest animal on earth.Soft-shelled turtles are considered a gourmet美食家delicacy佳肴by many Chinese,and when it was filmed,this was one of just three Swinhoe's turtles left alive in China,the rest of its kind having been rounded up聚拢and eaten.Sadly, just a few weeks after filming,this ancient creature died.The remaining individuals of its species are currently kept in separate zoos and Swinhoe's turtle is now reckoned认为extinct in the wild.In fact, most of the 25 types of freshwater turtles in Chinaare now vanishingly rare.The answer to extinction is protection.And there is now a growing network网络of nature reservesthroughout southern China.Of these, the Tianzi Mountain Reserve at Zhangjiajie is perhapsthe most visited by Chinese nature lovers,who come to marvel惊叹at the gravity-defying landscapeof soaring sandstone pinnacles顶点.Winding between Zhangjiajie's peaks, crystal clear mountain streamsare home to what is perhaps China's strangest creature.This bizarre animal is a type of newt蝾螈,the Chinese giant salamander蝾螈.In China it is known as the baby fishbecause when distressed痛苦it makes a sound like a crying infant.It grows up to a metre and a half long,making it the world's largest amphibian两栖动物.Under natural conditions, a giant salamander may live for decades.But like so many Chinese animals, it is considered delicious to eat.Despite being classed as a protected species,giant salamanders are still illegally sold for foodand the baby fish is now rare and endangered in the wild.Fortunately, in a few areas like Zhangjiajie,giant salamanders still survive under strict official protection.The rivers of Zhangjiajie flow north east into the Yangtze floodplain,known as The Land of Fish and Rice.On an island in a lake in Anhui Province,a dragon is stirring.This is the ancestral祖先的home of China's largest and rarest reptile爬行动物, a creature of mystery and legend.Dragon eggs are greatly prized.These babies need to hatch孵出out quick!It would seem someone is on their trail踪迹.For a helpless baby reptile,imprisoned in a leathery membrane薄膜inside a chalky钙质的shell,the process of hatching is a titanic struggle.And time is running out.(CHIRPING啾啾声)It's taken two hoursfor the little dragon to get its head out of the egg.It needs to gather its strength now,for one final, massive push.Free at last,the baby Chinese alligators短吻鳄instinctively head upwardstowards the surface of the nest and the waiting outside world. (CHATTERING喋喋不休)But the visitors are not what they seem.(BOTH SPEAKING CHINESE)She Shizhen and her son live nearby.She has been caring for her local alligators for over 20 years,so she had a fair idea when the eggs were likely to hatch.Back home, she's built a pond surrounded by netting to keep out predators, where her charges管理will spend the next six monthsuntil they're big enough to fend照料for themselves.For the past 20 years,small-scale conservation projects like thisare all that have kept China's 150 wild alligators from extinction.Just south of the alligator country,dawn breaks over a very different landscape.The 1,800-metre-high granite花岗岩peaks of the Huangshan or Yellow Mountain. To the Chinese, Huangshan's pines epitomise化身the strength and resilience适应力of nature.Some of these trees are thought to be over 1,000 years old.Below the granite peaks,steep forested森林的valleys shelter surprising inhabitants居民.Huangshan macaques猕猴, rare descendants后代of the Tibetan macaques of western China,are unique to these mountain valleyswhere they enjoy strict official protection.(SCREECHING尖叫)After a morning spent in the treetops,the troop is heading for the shade of the valley.A chance for the grown-ups to escape the heatand maybe pick up a lunch snack from the stream.As in most monkey societies,social contact involves a lot of grooming.Grooming is all very well for grown-ups,but young macaques have energy to burn.(SCREECHING)Like so much monkey business,what starts off as a bit of playful rough-and-tumble扭打,soon begins to get out of hand.The alpha male男一号has seen it all before.He's not in the least bothered.But someone, or something, is watching,with a less than friendly interest.The Chinese moccasin大毒蛇is an ambush埋伏predator with a deadly bite. This is one of China's largest and most feared venomous有毒的snakes.But the monkeys have lived alongside these dangerous serpents大毒蛇for thousands of years.(MONKEYS SCREECHING)They use this specific alarm call to warn each otherwhenever a snake is spotted认出.Once its cover is blown, the viper毒蛇poses no threat to the monkeys,now safe in the treetops.And life soon returns to normal.By late summer, the rice fields of southern China have turned to gold.The time has come to bring in the harvest.Nowadays, modern high-yield产量很高的strainsare grown throughout much of the rice lands,boosted by chemical fertilizers and reaped收割by combine harvesters.。

wild China.美丽中国（Wild China）第六集潮汐更迭Tides of Change 双语对照文本字幕从东端的长城起From the eastern end of the Great Wall,中国的海岸跨度14,500公里China's coast spans 14,500 kilometres并且拥有五千多年的历史and more than 5,000 years of history.在这个方面显示了This is the area which shows the greatest contrast中国的过去和未来之间的差距between China's past and its future.如今中国的东海岸线Today China's eastern seaboard有七亿人口is home to 700 million people,居住在科技高速发展的沿海城市packed into some of the most dazzling hi-tech cities on earth.然而这些拥挤的海岸仍然是野生动物的一个重要财富Yet these crowded shores remain hugely important for a wealth of wildlife.现在古老的传统渐渐被新的气息所侵蚀Now, as ancient traditions mingle with new aspirations,那么在中国拥挤的海岸上还有野生动物的活动场所吗is there any room at all for wildlife on China's crowded shores?谨以此献给我们多灾多难但美丽依旧的祖国For our troubled but drop-dead beautiful motherland在中国北方的扎龙自然保护区In northern China's Zhalong Nature Reserve,一对丹顶鹤正守望着它们的产卵领土a pair of red-crowned cranes have staked out their nesting territory在一个商业管理的芦苇床残株里in the stubble of a commercially managed reed bed.数百年来For centuries,cranes have been revered in China鹤被中国人视为长寿的象征而备受尊崇as symbols of longevity.它们的雕像被放在皇帝的宝座旁Their statues were placed next to the Emperor's throne.鹤因此而受到赞扬The cranes have cause to celebrate.幼鹤在困难时刻就象征着希望This chick is a sign of hope in difficult times.丹顶鹤是世界上最濒临灭绝边缘的物种之一Red-crowned cranes are one of the world's most endangered species.在过去的一个世纪Over the last century,中国失去了近一半的沿海湿地China has lost nearly half of its coastal wetlands并且大多数改造地是为了造福人类而非野生动物and most of what remains is managed for the benefit of people, not wildlife.从现在起的数个月 A few months from now,幼鹤和它的家人将面临一场往南方的大迁徙this chick and its parents will face a long migration south来躲避北方的严冬to escape the harsh northern winter.它们将沿着海岸向前Their route will take them along a coast然而这些海岸已经受到人类活动的巨大影响which has been greatly affected by human activity.在它们的征途上Along their journey,the cranes will be joined将有成千上万其他鸟类加入迁徙大军by many thousands of other migrating birds.它们迁徙的方向横跨南渤海湾All heading south across the Bohai Gulf 沿海岸的黄海和中国东海and along the shores of the Yellow and East China Seas,最远甚至抵达中国南海some even reaching as far as the South China Sea寻找一个安全的冬季避难所in search of a safe winter haven.每年候鸟迁徙已持续了数千年之久The annual bird migration has been going on for thousands of years.在中国东北海岸的锦屏山Here at Mount Jinping on China's northeast coast,存留着人类there is surprising evidence曾长期居住过的惊人遗迹that people have lived here almost as long. 七千年前Seven thousand years ago,少昊部落的成员雕刻下的神奇符号members of the Shao Hao tribe carved magical symbols描绘出他们日常生活得到的重要原理representing significant elements of their daily lives.这种岩石雕刻显示出The petroglyphs show wheat sheaves connected by lines to human figures,中国第一个有记录的耕种遗址the first known recordings of cultivation in China.因为常年目睹群鸟迁徙的奇观Familiar with the spectacle of yearly bird migrations,少昊人选择一只鸟的符号作为他们的图腾the Shao Hao people chose a symbol of a bird as their totem.锦屏山位于山东半岛附近Mount Jinping lies near the Shandong peninsula,是候鸟的一个重要越冬场所an important wintering site for migrant birds,即使在今天仍然有鸟群沿着这条海岸线前进and even today there are still communities along this coastline并且和当地的鸟群保持着密切关系who retain a special affinity with their local birdlife.烟墩礁Yandun Jiao village,位于半岛的东北岸on the north-eastern shore of the peninsula, 以其传统特色的海藻覆顶建筑闻名于世is famous for its traditional seaweed-thatched cottages.在早春料峭的清晨On a chilly morning in early spring,屈夫妇在破晓时刻出来碰运气Mr and Mrs Qu venture out at first light带着海民的传统工具——桶和小铲armed with the traditional seaside accessories of bucket and spade.当屈家人朝着港湾前进As the Qus head down into the harbour,一群被当地人 a flock of whooper swans,亲切称为“冬日天使”的大天鹅known affectionately here as "winter angels", 在海湾醒来are waking out in the bay.屈家和他们的邻居在潮落的泥浆中The Qus and their neighbours search for tube holes寻找管状的孔in the mud at low tide,那里意味着有扇贝或竹蛏深藏在泥底the sign of cockles and razor shells hidden deep below.收集贝克是颇为流行的消遣While gathering shellfish is a popular pastime,当地人以出海为主要营生the main business of Yandun Jiao happens further out at sea.当老屈站在启程船只的甲板上As the boats set out,with Mr Qu on board,天鹅并肩掠过the swans set a parallel course.整个海湾是一个巨型海藻农场The whole of the bay is a gigantic seaweed farm.人们整天忙于清理和照料海藻叶The men work all day cleaning and tending the kelp fronds海藻长在巨大浮标舰队互相连接的绳子上that are grown on ropes linked to a vast armada of buoys.天鹅只吃长在绳子表面的本地海藻The swans eat native seaweeds growing on the surface ropes而非更有价值的产物rather than the valuable crop of kelp,所以它们无损经济作物的生长so they do no harm to the commercial operation.下午当风在海上生起In the afternoon,as the wind picks up out at sea,工人和天鹅退回岸边the workers and swans return to shore.当追求与自然和谐的文化While the culture of seeking balance with nature历经远路回归中国的时候goes back a long way in China,在中国拥挤的海岸线很难看到如此和谐的人地关系it is rare to see such harmonious relationships on China's crowded coast.当夜晚降临As evening draws on,屈家人准备了扇贝the Qu family prepare their evening meal of cockles,馒头和海藻做为晚膳steamed bread and seaweed.孩子们谈话声(KIDS CHATTERING)剩菜被村里的孩子们用来喂天鹅Leftovers are given to the village children to feed the swans.这给孩子和村民带来许多乐趣It's fun for the kids and provides并未鸟儿们度过寒夜提供了能量补给an extra energy boost for the birds as they face another cold night.天鹅已经利用这个庇护港The swans have been using this sheltered bay作为冬天的过冬地at as a winter refuge for many generations.只要敬重自然的传统还在As long as the tradition of respect for nature persists,烟墩礁的村民和“冬日天使”间的this remarkable association between the Yandun Jiao community奇妙友谊就会持续下去and their winter angels looks set to continue. 在渤海湾天鹅村的最东北处Out in the Bohai Gulf,northeast of the swan village,一座小小的岩岛为迁徙的鸟儿提供了安静的歇脚地a small rocky island provides a quiet resting spot for migrating birds.但是蛇岛亦潜伏着危险But Shedao Island has hidden dangers.由于海平面上升蝮蛇已被困在这座岛上6000余年Pallas' pit vipers trapped here6,000 years ago by rising sea levels这已演化成一种险恶的生存方式have evolved a sinister lifestyle.每年有10个月For 10 months of the year岛上没有任何食物there is nothing substantial to eat on the island,因此爬行类动物保持静止以保存体力so the reptiles conserve their energy by barely moving at all.鸟群鸣叫(BIRDS CAWING)当阳光使它们的岩石家园变暖As the sun warms their rocky home,这些蛇便爬进灌木树丛the snakes climb up into the bushes and trees.但是它们不是来这晒日光浴的But they aren't here to sunbathe.越来越多的毒蛇出现了More and more vipers appear事实上毒蛇占据了几乎所有栖息地until virtually every perch where a bird might land等着鸟们上钩has been booby-trapped.“守猎”游戏开始了Then the waiting game begins.蛇隐藏得很好The serpents' camouflage is remarkable,但是蛇攻击鸟的时候but so are the birds' reactions,鸟的反应同样迅速as this high-speed shot reveals.鸟群只在岛上停留几周The birds will only stay on the island for a couple of weeks.但是尽管蛇已经饿了几个月了But although the snakes have been starving for months,但是它们实现饱餐一顿心愿的途径their only hope of bagging a meal is to be patient只能是潜藏起来耐心等待and sit tight.即便最微小的失误The slightest miscalculation也会导致狩猎的失败and the snake is left with a mouthful of feathers.蛇只能通过嗅觉寻找失去的美味The dropped meal is tracked down mainly by smell,毒蛇用分叉的舌头the viper using its forked tongue分辨空气来靠近追逐的猎物to taste the air until it is close enough to see its quarry.最后的挑战是吞下自己头部两倍粗的食物The final challenge is to swallow a meal that's twice the size of its head.蛇能让下巴脱臼并合理安排食物的方向It does so by dislocating its jaws and positioning its prey使鸟嘴指向后边so the beak is pointing backwards.对于爬虫来说，充足的时间也很短暂For the reptiles,this time of plenty is all too brief.再过几个星期，迁移就要结束了In a couple of weeks,the migration will be over鸟群会继续前进and the birds will have moved on.这可能是蛇六个月中的最后一餐This could be the snake's last meal for six months.但是并不是岛上会经历But it isn't just islands盛宴和饥馑的循环that experience cycles of feast and famine. 海也有季节变化The sea, too, has its seasons,沿岸的渔民都知道这个变化a fact well known to fishing communities along the neighbouring coasts.在初望港In Chuwang harbour,盛大的聚会是新汛期开始的证明the start of a new fishing season provides the excuse for a massive party.但是对于船主老赵来说But for boat owner Mr Zhao,既有庆祝又有祈祷it's a day of prayer as well as celebration.老赵希望通过祭祀海神Zhao hopes that by presenting gifts and showing respect to the sea goddess,来确保他们来年捕鱼he can help ensure a prosperous and safe year ahead顺利安全for him and his crew.同时鼓声爆竹反映了古人的信念Meanwhile, drums, firecrackers and fireworks reflect the ancient belief古人认为嘈杂巨响能驱赶海怪和坏运气that loud noises will frighten off dangerous sea devils and bad fortune.台子中间的那个是海龙的象征Occupying centre stage is a representation of the sea dragon,传说海龙控制着水和天气mythical ruler of water and weather.夜晚风平浪静In the calm of the evening,赵先生和家人点亮了纸船灯笼Mr Zhao and his family light paper boat lanterns.每一个闪烁的火焰带着一个愿望飘向海神Each flickering flame carries a wish to the sea goddess,这个传统世代传递着a tradition passed on from parents to children over countless generations.在中国拥挤的海岸线上On China's crowded coasts,渔民们必须非常机敏fishermen need to be extremely resourceful. 收渔网是一项繁重的工作Hauling in the nets is hard work,目前为止还没有看到鱼and so far there's not a fish in sight.只有海蜇Only jellyfish.每年无数的海蜇Each year, millions of jellyfish被渤海湾的水流带到南方are carried south with the currents in the Bohai Gulf.这种现象的生态学原因很复杂The ecological story behind this event is complex,但决不是中国特有的but by no means unique to China.海蜇是快速繁殖的浮游生物的食物Jellyfish are fast-breeding plankton feeders. 近些年来人类污水和精耕细作使用的化肥In recent years, human sewage and fertilisers from intensive farming增大了海湾的浮游生物繁殖速度have increased plankton blooms in the Gulf,提供了丰富的海蜇食物providing extra jellyfish food.由于过度捕鱼海蜇的敌人和竞争者少了While over-fishing has reduced their enemies and competitors.这种现象已经It's a phenomenon that has become increasingly widespread在全球蔓延across the world's seas.然而别的地方认为是个问题However, what is seen elsewhere as a problem,在中国却被当成机会in China is perceived as an opportunity.岸上Back on shore,四轮车载着海蜇到附近的大商店里mule carts transport the jellyfish to nearby warehouses在那里处理后销往全国where they will be processed and sold as food all over China.四代人正在饱餐一碗海蜇片Four generations tuck into a bowl of sliced jellyfish,这道菜可以延年益寿the recipe for a long and healthy life.离开了渤海湾Leaving the Bohai Gulf behind,迁徙的鹤群migrating cranes,篦鹭和鸭子里边加入了其他鸟类spoonbills and ducks are joined by other birds,它们都飞向南方寻找安全的冬天栖息地all heading south in search of a safe winter haven.鸟群的迁徙路线顺着黄海The birds' migration route follows the coast of the Yellow Sea一路朝向江苏省down into Jiangsu Province,那里有肥沃的农业风景 a fertile agricultural landscape有中国最后存留的盐沼泽地with some of the last remaining salt marshes in China.大丰At Dafeng,一小块盐沼泽的就是一只幸存动物的家园a small salt marsh reserve is home to an animal which is lucky to be alive.中国人认为麋鹿是奇怪复杂的动物The Chinese see these Milu as a curious composite animal,有像马一样的头with a horse's head,牛一样的脚cow's feet,驴一样的尾巴 a tail like a donkey朝向后边的鹿角and backwards-facing antlers.在西方自从第一个欧洲人In the West, we know it as David's Deer,叫它麋鹿以后我们也这样叫了after the first European to describe it.在发情期During the rut,雄鹿用植物的花环来装饰自己stags decorate themselves with garlands of vegetation这些东西是用鹿角弄的collected in their antlers.激烈的战斗决定谁拥有交配权Fierce battles decide mating rights.雌鹿仍然带着去年的幼鹿The females still have last year's fawns in tow.母鹿在发情期也没有给幼鹿断奶They haven't been weaned by the time of the rut幼鹿聚在一起and band together in large crhes,只回到自己母亲那里喂食only returning to their mothers to feed.这种特殊的行为有助于帮助它们记清楚好斗的雄鹿This unique behaviour helps to keep them clear of the aggressive males.现在中国仅存2500头麋鹿了Today, there are just2,500 Milu in China, 很明显如果再多也很有限but it is remarkable that there are any at all. 在20世纪初期野外的麋鹿濒临灭绝In the early 1900s Milu became extinct in the wild,幸运的是一些良种鹿群被当作礼物送到了欧洲but luckily, some of the Imperial herd had been sent as a gift to Europe.那些在英格兰Woburn Abbey的麋鹿繁衍了下来Those at Woburn Abbey,in England, prospered.20世纪80年代40头鹿被送回了故乡And in the early 1980s, 40 of the deer were returned to their homeland它们在那里继续繁衍生息where they continue to thrive.迁徙的鹤群至今已经The migrating cranes have so far travelled 顺着海岸向南飞行了两千多公里了over 2,000 kilometres southwards along the coast.经过了大丰的麋鹿预留区Passing the Milu Deer Reserve at Dafeng, 它们接近了另一个盐沼泽地they are approaching another salt marsh那里给它们过冬提供了极好的条件which will provide the perfect conditions for them to spend the winter.盐城，中国最大的沿海湿地This is Yancheng,the largest coastal wetland in China,每年估计有三百万鸟拜访这里visited by an estimated three million birds each year.(嘎嘎的叫声）(SQUAWKING)刚出生七个月的幼鹤Crane chicks that were only born seven months ago完成了第一次来回旅行have now completed the first leg of a round trip它们将会每年重复这样which they will repeat every year.坚强的鹤群能应付冬天的温度The hardy cranes can cope with winter temperatures温度可能降到零度以下which may drop below freezing.但是其他迁徙的鸟类比如濒临灭绝的黑面篦鹭However, other migrating birds, like the endangered black-faced spoonbill,就没有那么耐寒are less cold-tolerant它们将要继续南飞寻找更温暖的气候and will continue even further south in search of warmer climes.(嘎嘎的叫声）(SQUAWKING)在这里许多迁徙的鸟群At this point,many of the migrating bird flocks勉强达到了它们南飞旅程的一半are barely halfway along their southward journey.在它们前面还有新的挑战Ahead of them lies a new challenge,中国最伟大的河——长江China's greatest river, the Yangtze,是许多种类迁徙物种的聚集地and the venue for a very different kind of migration.每年上百万吨的货物往来江面Each year, millions of tons of cargo travel up and down the river,使这里成了世界上最繁忙的航路之一making this one of the busiest waterways in the world.这些是中华绒蝥蟹These are Chinese mitten crabs,因它们长毛爪子得名named for their strange hairy claws.它们可以迁移长达1500公里They may migrate as much as1,500 kilometres从支流和湖泊一直到河口from tributaries and lakes to the river mouth, 他们在那里繁殖后代where they gather to breed.中华鲟也有相似的迁徙 A similar migration is made by the giant Yangtze sturgeon,中华鲟能长到4米长半吨重which can reach four metres long and weigh half a ton.近些年来它们的数量骤减In recent years,its numbers have declined dramatically这是由于它们的迁徙被越来越多的河坝阻挡了as its migration is impeded by ever more river dams.但是不仅中华鲟有这样的境遇But it isn't just animals like the sturgeon that are in trouble,整个长江的生态系统都遭到了破坏the entire Yangtze River ecosystem is being poisoned.虽然有显耀的清理计划项目In spite of being the subject of an ambitious clean-up plan,估计长江是最大的today the river is reckoned to be the biggest 污染太平洋的单向水源single source of pollution entering the Pacific Ocean.坐落于长江入海口的Situated right at the mouth of its estuary,崇明岛为迁徙的滨鸟Chongming Island provides a vital resting and feeding spot提供了重要的休养生息的地方for migrating shorebirds,人们对长江流域的野生动物的态度不断转变and a place which offers welcome evidence这个地方也是个很好的证明of changing attitudes towards the Yangtze's beleaguered wildlife.几个世纪里这些沿岸泥滩一直吸引许多捕猎者For centuries these coastal mudflats have attracted hunters,就像金先生一样like Mr Jin,他们不断地改善捕猎技巧who have honed their trapping skills to perfection捕获稀有鸟类供上海有钱人食用to put rare birds on the tables of Shanghai's elite.40年里金先生一直用一张网For 40 years Mr Jin has used a net,简单的诱鸟和一只竹笛simple decoy birds and a bamboo whistle来诱惑经过的鸟到他的网里to lure passing birds towards his nets.(笛声)(WHISTLING)这需要耐心和高超的技巧It takes both patience and consummate skill. 但是事情并不总是这样But all is not as it seems.像其他许多最好的自然保护者一样Mr Jin, like many of the best conservationists, 金先生现在由偷猎者变为了看护者is poacher turned gamekeeper,使用他捕猎技艺来保护他原先的猎物using his hunting skills to benefit his old quarry.在东潭鸟类保护基地里The staff here at Dongtan Bird Reserve人们将给这些捕获的鸟测量带环称重will measure, ring and weigh the trapped birds然后把它们释放before releasing them unharmed.由金先生和他的同事们收集的这些信息The information gathered by Mr Jin and his colleagues帮助保护了200多个不同的鸟类helps to protect over 200 different species of birds这些鸟类每年都要来到这个岛屿which visit the island each year.在崇明岛正南端Just south of Chongming Island是中国最大的海边城市——上海lies China's largest coastal city, Shanghai.上海处于一条河流生物和鸟类迁徙的路径上Situated on a major migration route for birds as well as river life,现在它正进行一个更大的侵袭动作Shanghai is now preparing for an even bigger invasion.满载着建筑材料的驳船不停的到达这个城市的码头Barges loaded with building materials constantly arrive in the city's docks,来满足这个世界最繁忙建设之一的需要feeding one of the greatest construction booms in the world.去年全世界一半的水泥都运往中国的各个城市Last year, half the world's concrete was poured into China's cities,这些都是为了人类历史上最大规模的all in preparation for the biggest mass migration of people人口迁移做准备in the history of the world.在未来25年里预计有超过3亿中国人In the next 25 years,well over 300 million people将从中国农村迁移到城市例如上海are predicted to move from rural China into cities like Shanghai.从农村到城市的人类迁移The migration of people from country to city在全世界各地都可以看到is being mirrored around the world,and by 2010到2010年超过一半的世界人口将成为城市居住者over half of the world's population will be urban dwellers.当夜晚来临时上海就会揭示它的本色As night falls,Shanghai reveals its true colours.这是中国最快增长的金融中心China's fastest-growing financial centre 是这个巨大繁荣的中心is in the midst of a massive boom.其人口估计超过2千万With an estimated population of more than 20 million,上海无疑是中国最大Shanghai is officially China's largest也是最耀眼的城市and certainly its most dazzling city.但他的辉煌背后存在着环境代价But there is an environmental cost.上海居民使用的电力是Shanghai residents now use two and a half times more power per head郊区居民的2.5倍than their rural cousins.这个城市近乎贪得无厌的能源需求The city's seemingly insatiable energy demands得需要17个电厂来提供满足currently require the output of 17 power stations.上海往南城市灯光逐渐暗淡South of Shanghai the city lights gradually fade好象我们进入了一个古老的世界as we enter an ancient world.这是福建省This is Fujian Province,一个崎岖的地域 a rugged terrain由于花岗岩大山的护卫guarded by sheer granite mountains which have helped to forge and preserve使得一些中国最古老的遗址和传统文化得以稳固并保存some of China's most ancient sites and traditional cultures.远高出海边地带坐落着1400米高的太姥山Towering above the coast,the 1,400-metre-high Taimu Mountains是中国人熟识的“海上仙都”are known to the Chinese as "Fairyland on the Sea".潮湿的海风在寒冷的山顶凝聚Moist sea breezes condense on the cool mountaintops并与排水良好的酸性土壤结合and combine with well-drained acid soils便形成了完美的种植环境to produce the perfect growing conditions 适合喜酸性的植物——例如野杜鹃for acid-loving plants like wild azaleas.也合适生长山茶It's also home to camellias,including the most famous of all,包括最著名的茶树种植the tea plant.沿着福建沿海一带的类似种植环境Similar growing conditions all along the Fujian coast使得中国茶叶独享其尊make this the treasure

people.每天清晨山羊被放养在这些茶树梯田间Every morning, goats are let loose among the tea terraces,这是个历史悠久的传统 a centuries-old tradition.看起来好象很奇怪让这些This might seem surprising given goats' reputation山羊去吃这些绿色的植物for

the goats,它们只是吃光茶树外的杂草who leave the tea untouched and instead eat up the weeds,它们的粪便恰好茶树供给了养分fertilising the tea plants with their droppings.惊讶的是我们人类The surprise is that we humans却还没发现同样刺激性的化学鸡尾酒should find the same bitter chemical cocktail以便让人类根本不敢染指utterly irresistible.对客家人而言种植茶树是家族事业Among the Kejia people,tea-growing is a family business.女人们采摘男人门加工打包Women do the picking,while the men process and pack it.张女士是一名客家家族的成员Mrs Zhang belongs to a Kejia family她们家族在这片同样的茶园that has lived and worked for generations 生活劳作了数个世代among these same tea terraces.最精良的茶叶需要在温暖的阳光里快速采摘The finest tea needs to be gathered quickly in warm sunshine这样可以让茶叶保留有茶油的香味as this brings out the flavour-enhancing oils inside the leaves.这个可持续的产业使得中国最精美的地形之一This sustainable industry has protected one of China's finest landscapes和最传统文化之一得以保存下来and one of its most traditional cultures.在早上采摘之后At the end of the morning's picking,张女士把茶叶带回家以待加工Mrs Zhang returns home

different stages,包括干燥捻细筛挤压和扭拧including drying, bruising,sifting, squeezing and twisting,这些都是成品打包前必须的步骤before the finished product is finally ready for packing.张女士的村庄出产“小黑龙”茶The Zhang's village produces"little black dragon",即——乌龙茶or oolong tea,其称呼源于冲泡茶叶时so called because of the way its twisted leaves unfurl那宛如蟠龙舒展的姿态when water is poured over them.茶在客家人生活中占据着重要地位Tea plays a vital part in Kejia life,既是一个收入来源也是一种迎宾之道not only as a source of income,but also as a way to welcome visitors它将人们联系在一起and bring people together.在中国人传统生活中In traditional Chinese life,即使最简单的一杯茶也被赋以复杂的仪式even the simplest cup of tea is poured with an intricate amount of ritual.在过去In the past,客家人的其他主要收入来自运送像茶叶一样的货物the Kejia people's other main income came from transporting goods like tea穿越变幻莫测的山川和河流入口across the treacherous topography of mountains and river estuaries.他们的运输路线在1059年变得轻松易行Their route was suddenly made easier when, in 1059,一切归于这座名桥的建造this remarkable bridge was built.它的桥面由重达10吨的花岗岩架设而成Made from massive10-ton slabs of granite,是中国不太知名的建筑奇葩之一it is one of China's lesser-known architectural gems.洛阳桥历经地震狂潮风采依旧Luoyang Bridge has withstood earthquakes and tempestuous tides.被称为“万安渡”的Known as "10,000 ships launching",46座桥墩the bridge's 46 piers在潮水的冲刷下已经屹立的近千年have withstood time and tide for almost a millennium.据当地传说According to folklore,桥的成功在于有远见地应用了生物工程its success is due to a far-sighted piece of

Even in the eraof emails and digital books, paper is all around us. Paper is in shopping bags, money, store receipts, cereal boxes, and toilet paper. We use paper in so many ways every day. So, where did this marvelously versatile material come from?According to ancient Chinese historical sources, a court eunuch named Ts'ai Lun (or Cai Lun) presented the newly-invented paper to the Emperor Hedi of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 105 CE. The historian Fan Hua (398-445 CE) recorded this version of events, but archaeological finds fromwestern China and Tibet suggest that paper was invented centuries earlier.Samples of even more ancient paper, some of it dating to c. 200 BCE, have been unearthed in the ancient Silk Road cities of Dunhuang and Khotan, and in Tibet. The dry climate in these places allowed the paper to survive for up to 2,000 years without entirely decomposing. Amazingly, some of this paper even has ink marks on it, proving that ink was invented much earlier than historians had supposed.Writing Materials Before PaperOf course, people in various places around the world were writing long before the invention of paper. Materials such as bark, silk, wood, and leather functioned in a similar way to paper, although they were either much more expensive or heavier. In China, many early works were recorded on long bamboo strips, which were then bound with leather straps or string into books.People world-wide also carved very important notations into stone or bone, or pressed stamps into wet clay and then dried or fired the tablets topreserve their words. However, writing (and later printing) required a material that was both cheap and lightweight to become truly ubiquitous. Paper fit the bill perfectly.Chinese Paper-MakingEarly paper-makers in China used hemp fibers, which were soaked in water and pounded with a large wooden mallet. The resulting slurry was then poured over a horizontal mold; loosely-woven cloth stretched over a framework of bamboo allowed the water to drip out the bottom or evaporate, leaving behind a flat sheet of dry hemp-fiber paper.Over time, paper-makers began to use other materials in their product, including bamboo, mulberry and different types of tree bark. They dyed paper for official records with a yellow substance, the imperial color, which had the added benefit of repelling insects that might have destroyed the paper otherwise.One of the most common formats for early paper was the scroll. A few long pieces of paper were pasted together to form a strip, which was thenwrapped around a wooden roller. The other end of the paper was attached to a thin wooden dowel, with a piece of silk cord in the middle to tie the scroll shut.The Spread of Paper-MakingFrom its point of origin in China, the idea and technology of paper-making spread throughout Asia. In the 500s CE, artisans on the Korean Peninsula began to make paper using many of the same materials as Chinese paper-makers. The Koreans also used rice straw and seaweed, expanding the types of fiber available for paper production. This early adoption of paper fueled the Korean innovations in printing, as well. Metal movable type was invented by 1234 CE on the peninsula.Around 610 CE, according to legend, the Korean Buddhist monk Don-Cho introduced paper-making to the court of Emperor Kotoku in Japan. Paper-making technology also spread west through Tibet and then south into India.Paper Reaches the Middle East and EuropeIn 751 CE, the armies of Tang China and the ever-expanding Arab Abbasid Empire clashed inthe Battle of Talas River, in what is now Kyrgyzstan. One of the most interesting repercussions of this Arab victory was that the Abbasids captured Chinese artisans, including master paper-makers like Tou Houan, and took them back to the Middle East.At that time, the Abbasid Empire stretched from Spain and Portugal in the west through North Africa to Central Asia in the east, so knowledge of this marvelous new material spread far and wide. Before long, cities from Samarkand (nowin Uzbekistan) to Damascus and Cairo had become centers of paper production.In 1120, the Moors established Europe's first paper mill at Valencia, Spain (then called Xativa). From there, this Chinese invention passed to Italy, Germany, and other parts of Europe. Paper helped spread knowledge, much of which was gleaned from the great Asian culture centers along the Silk Road, that enabled Europe's High Middle Ages.Manifold UsesMeanwhile, in East Asia, paper was used for an enormous number of purposes. Combined with varnish, it became beautiful lacquer-ware storage vessels and furniture. In Japan, the walls of homes were often made of rice-paper. Besides paintings and books, paper was made into fans, umbrellas, even highly effective armor. Paper truly is one of the most wonderful Asian inventions of all time.。

The Vast Grassland under the Tianshan MountainsNestled among the Tianshan Mountains in China’s Xinjiang, lies the Bayanbulak Grassland, the largest alpine grassland in China. It covers an area of more than 23000 square kilometers. Bayanbulak means “rich spring water” in Mongolian. The surrounding snowy peaks act like a huge reservoir, delivering abundant water resources to the grassland and forming a huge number of lakes and marshes. On the flat grassland, even a small force can alter the direction of a river. Kaidu River, which is composed of melt water from the Tianshan Mountains, has a length of more than 500 kilometers and has more than 10000 bends. Find the right view point, and as the sun sets, it’s possible to see the reflection of nine suns all at the same time. The grassland interior is a paradise for animals. In March each year, juvenile swans set off from India, southern Africa and other distant parts of the world, to live and breed here. for the young swans, as they learn to fly, the Himalayas pose their first challenge.Volcanoes in Wudalianchi Scenic AreaThese volcanoes are more than 200 years away from the last eruption. For volcanoes, more than 200 years is not long at all. They are young volcanoes in China, but they have witnessed the birth of the Wudalianchi Scenic Area. Erupting lava spread out in all directions. Some of it remained here, cooling and solidifying forming a black gray lava plateau measuring hundreds of square kilometers wide, commonly known as the Rock Field. More lava flowed along the terrain, blocking the path of the river below, eventually forming five beaded lakes. The lakes are interconnected, hence they are known as the “Wudalianchi”, namely, Five Connected lakes. With 14 volcanoes nearby, Wudalianchi with its concentration of typical volcanic landforms, is a giant natural volcano museum. After hundreds of years, human beings, birds and animals, and vegetation have together reshaped the appearance of this land. South Globe Mountain has become the symbol of Wudalianchi, not only because it is the oldest of the 14 volcanoes, but also because there is naturally lake at its top. In winter it is covered with snow. But in the sun, the volcanic rock beneath is exposed, creating a black-and-white volcanic spectacle. In the bright sunlight this volcano museum becomes a landscape beyond the imagination.Yardang Kingdom Sculpted by the WindIn Gansu Province in Northwest China, there are more than 5000 mounds on the desolate Gobi Desert. Such a landform is called a Yardang. Walking through the area, you can hear the eerie howling winds. The name “The Place of Devils”, but also carve the Yardang landform into different shapes. Wind speeds here can reach up to Force12. Sometimes as fast and the running speed of a cheetah, the fastest animal on land, and strong enough to lift a 10-meter-high wave. These mounds, which were originally sediment layers at the bottom of the lake, are not strong enough to withstand the insistent winds. The sand and stones picked up by the wind are like weapons, hacking away the rocks surface and carving out a variety of shapes, giving full play to the imagination. A bird’s-eye view reveals a regular layout of the mounds. They are all the same height and direction, and look like a great fleet sailing across the Gobi Desert.。

West LakeThere are no less than 30 lakes named “West Lake” in Chian. But the West Lake in Hangzhou is best known of them all. It is located in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province on the southeastern coast. And the city is known as Paradise of the World in China. Thousands of years ago, the West Lake was connected to the sea. The Qiantang River, not far away from the West Lake, enters the sea in the eastern part of this area. Sediment deposited by the river eventually blocked the connection between the West Lake and the sea, making it an inland water feature. Since the 9th century A.D., the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in all seasons has appeared time and again in poems, stories and legends. It’s roughly estimated there are about 630 legends of the West Lake alone. In 2011, West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou was included on the World Heritage List. It is visited by an endless stream of international tourists. Perhaps some of them will add their own stories to West Lake’s wealth of literature.Flaming Mountain and Grape ValleyArea around the latitude of 42 degrees north on earth are mostly known for their cool and pleasant climate. But there is one exception which is famous for its incredible heat. This is called the “Flaming Mountain” in China’s northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Of course, it is not really “burning”. The Mountain is barren and red, with a blackish tint. In summer, ground be temperatures can be as high 70-degree Celsius. People are tricked by their senses into seeing “flames”. The terrain is the main reason for the heat of the Flaming Mountain. It is located at the low point of the Turpan Basin which is also the lowest point of the Chinese mainland. The height difference between it and the surrounding mountains is more than 5000 meters, so the hot air in the basin cannot easily disperse. As a result, the Flaming Mountain becomes the hottest place on its latitude. There is no grass on the Flaming Mountain, but the canyon nearby is shaded by grapes. The canyon is only 8 kilometers long from north to south, but its annual output of grapes can reach more than 10 million kg. Almost every family here grows grapes. After harvest, they are sent to shade houses for drying. The shade houses are built on the slopes of barren mountains, high up and with no shelter, so as to make full use of the hot dry winds in the Turpan Basin. There are many holes in the walls of the shade houses, which not only help with ventilation, but also help avoid direct sunlight on grapes. It takes just 40 days for the fresh grapes to be dried by the hot air.The Stories of the Grey Panda FamilyAt the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, every year we will see a bunch of adorable giant panda cubs that are so attractive because of their black and white coloring and chubby bodies. Among these darlings, however, gray ones unexpectedly appear. On June 5,2019, in the Sunshine Nursery House at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Ji Xiao, the first baby panda of the year was born. The adorable little cub grew every day, but something strange happened, people discovered the baby panda was surprisingly gray at birth. It turns out that at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, lives a family whose members have all been gray upon their birth, nicknamed the “Gray Family”. In the Gray Family, the most representative is Ji Xiao’s uncle-Cheng Jiu, who with grey arms and mask looks like a gray and white panda, thus has been dubbed a fade national treasure by netizens. Of course, their family’s gray fur will graduallydarken during their development. At one year of age, they’ll become normal black and white giant panda. Take a look. The one called Ji Xiao, who’s gray all over and lies together with her peers, is quite different from the others. But, shortly afterwards, this gray cub will darken and look like the rest.Crescent Spring in the DesertThe Singing Sands Mountain is located in Dunhuang in western China. As you walk though the quicksand or slide down sand mountain, sometimes you can hear loud noises from beneath your feet. Hence the name ‘The Singing Sands Mountain’. Nestling between the tall sand dunes, there is a little miracle. This spring, which looks like a crescent moon, has existed for thousands of years and has never dried up. The formation and continuous existence of the Crescent Spring are all related to its topography. The flowing water converges here along the terrain and overflows through a porous geological layer to form the Crescent Spring. Although it’s extremely dry here, with the annual evaporation being more than 60 times that of the annual precipitation, the stable water source ensures a sustainable water supply to the spring. It’s also due to the low-lying terrain. Whenever there’s a sandstorm, it forms an upward spiral air flow between the surrounding sand mountains, sending the sand at the foot back to the top of the sand mountain, saving the Crescent Spring from being swallowed by quicksand. The ancient Silk Road once passed by the Crescent Spring. And today, it has become a romantic paradise for visitors.A Corridor of Apricot Blossom far from the SeaThis is Xinjiang, China, in the heart of Eurasia, the furthest of any land from the sea pm the planet. With little rain, it is an arid and lifeless place. However, there is one exception. With warmer temperatures in April, apricot flowers can’t wait to bloom, declaring open the flower season in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. This wild apricot forests are distributed across the hillsides of the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang. Their delicate flowers dislike the humid climate of southern China. They are resistant to drought and cold and are more suitable living in the north. Xinjiang has the largest concentration of apricot trees in China. The apricot forest before us is the largest and densest primitive wild fruit forest. It provides a rare opportunity for local people to domesticate the wild apricot trees and improve their varieties. Apricot blossom last only a week from blossoming to withering. In the flowering season, if you want to capture their beauty, then you must be quick.A Cow or An Antelope?Deep in central China’s Qinling Mountain, there are some mysterious wild animals in the untraversed area. Meet takin. It is perhaps one of the largest mammals on earth that many people have never heard of. Without using drone, it’s impossible to trace them and got this rare footage. Local conservationists said that they haven’t seen these enigmatic creatures for more than a decade. These animals live in an inaccessible area at the altitude of 2500 meters above sea level. Many people may think takin is a kind of cow, because they are thick and strong, and adult individuals can even be as high as 2 meters or more. In fact, takins are not cows. They are closer to the family of goat antelope, with a pair of small horns, and the sound is similar to that of the antelope. They arealert to the looming appearance of drone, so when the drone approach them, we need to keep a friendly and save distance with them. Now it is time for launch. Let’s hope our takin friends to have a good meal!A Home Coming Story of Milu DeerOn the coastal wetlands by the Yellow Sea in eastern China, you’ll notice a strange-looking deer walking around. It has a head shaped like a horse, giant antlers like a deer, hooves like a cow and the tail of a donkey. These are Milu deer, a species native to Chian. But it disappeared from China, for nearly 100 years. The fact that they have now returned to China is the result of a remarkable century-old animal protection collaboration between two countries. Archaeological studies have found that the Milu deer were once common in eastern China, but by the nineteenth century their numbers had dropped drastically. Most of the Milu deer were raised in the Emperor’s hunting grounds outside Beijing. The Europeans who came to China at the time believed the species to be very rare, and many were taken back to Europe. When the Emperor’s hunting grounds were destroyed by heavy flooding. The Milu deer were lost, never to be seen in the area again. Luckily, there were the Milu deer that had been shipped to foreign countries. A duke in Britain had give shelter to 18 of these fortunate Milu deer, and they were well taken care of. By the mid-1980s, the Chinese government hoped the species could be restored in China once again, a suggestion supported by the Duke’s descendants. In 1986, 39 of the Milu deer were flown to China from Britain to their ancestral home in Dafeng County in Jiangsu province. After two decades, the Milu deer population in China has increased to over 5000, with nearly 1350 roaming in the wild. Today, these is no longer any fears for their survival in their homeland.A Huge Gathering of Migrant BirdsEvery spring around mid-March, hundreds of thousands of birds arrive at the Jingxin Wetland of northeast China’s Jilin province. It turns this remote area into fascinating paradise for these migrant birds. The Jingxin Wetland is located on the border of China, Russia and North Korea. The diverse environment and humid climate make it an important stop-over for migrating birds. Seagulls are common here because it is very close to the Sea of Japan. These birds begin their journey back north after winter, and this is the last stop before leaving China. Here, they rest and feed. Many large predatory birds, such as golden eagles, while-tailed sea eagles and Steller’s sea eagles are frequent visitors. There are rare and endangered species in the world and are listed as protected animals at a national level in China. Among these species, the Steller’s sea eagles are especially rare, with only a few thousand remaining in the world. Now, more and more rare birds such as Chinese mergansers and red-crowned cranes are being found in the Jingxin Wetland, attracting hundreds of photographers. So as not to disturb the birds, the photographers wait quietly in the specified location. They wait patiently among the gathering of birds, for the right moment to capture an amazing moment in nature.‘A Land Formed by the Blowing Dust’The Earth is a place of endless wonder. where landscapes are often created from mere dust. TheLoess Plateau is such a place. It is located in the north of central China, and contain 70% of loess on the planet. It is hard to imaging a time when it did not exist. But this yellow land was created by the particles carried by the wind. The entire mega landscape has a total area of 620000 square kilometers. Even seen from above, it’s hard to comprehend the sheer size of it. The loess dune is dozens of meters high, and 300 meters at its thickest. Eight million years ago, super strong winds blew sand and dust here. The entire process of dust carrying and stacking took more than 2.6 million years. Scientist can tell the wind direction by the thickness of loess. Because tiny dust particles are carried the furthest, they came to rest in the southeastern most part of the plateau. The sand in the northwest part of the plateau is much rougher. Where the river crossed, an alluvial plain deposited. People gradually stared to settle around these fertile areas. They farmed in the valley, and built roads between the ravines. Finally, they made this ancient land their home and prospered generation after generation.A Mysterious Place in the South China SeaStarting from Hainan Island, the southern most province of China, you can reach Sansha City at the southern tip by this transportation supply ship. Sansha is made up of more than 280 islands, sandbars, reefs and other sea areas. April to May are the most beautiful seasons in this part of China. The sea is colorful, with an average visibility of more than 30 meters. Looking down from a high altitude, the island in front of us do not seem to be connected with each other, but they are known as the Seven Connected Islets. That’s because beneath the sea, there is a huge reef holding them together, forming a common foundation for the little islands. As the tide rises and falls, they display a variety of features. Most of the islets here are made up of coral remains. Coral secretes limestone, which becomes their living shells. They gather together and grow and multiply from generation to generation. Layer upon layer of limestone is added and then compacted to form the coral reef we see today. This reef is still growing towards the sea at rate of about 2.5 centimeters per year.A Secret FairylandThis is one of the most beautiful highways in China. It passes through thousands of islands in the West Sea of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province. There are more than 1600 islands in this area of water, creating a “lake of a thousand islands”. The lake is vast and tranquil, with an average depth of 45 meters. On a good day, the visibility in the lake can reach up to 11 meters. 60 kilometers to the northeast of the West Sea, there’s a mountains area. This is the famous Lushan mountain. Lushan Mountain is not one single mountain, but rather a large upland area consisting of 90 continuous peaks, in which the highest one is 1474 meters above sea level. Over tens of thousands of years, tectonic movements, glacier erosion, flowing water and other geological processes have created the diverse landscapes of Lushan Mountain. Running to the north of Lushan Mountain is the Yangtze, the longest river in China. The intense humidity endows Lushan with abundant water resources. There are 22 waterfalls within the mountain. Lushan Mountain is shrouded in mist for nearly 200 days of the year. The average temperature here is 5-6 degrees Celsius lower than that in the plains at the same latitude. It has been a famous summer resort since ancient times. There’s a “City in Clouds” some 1100 meters above sea level in the mountains. More than 100 years ago, a missionary the UK built villas here. The average temperature in summer is only 22 Degree Celsius, so it’snamed Kuling, a name which comes from the English “cooling”. Today, these ancient villas are still serving tourists who come here to spend the summer.Anjihai Grand CanyonIn Xingjiang, Chian, the beautiful scenery can often take miraculous forms. Anjihai Town has become famous the world over due to one canyon in particular. The river, which originates in Tianshan Mountains, rushes down the steep slopes, carving its way through escarpments formed over millenia. The canyon is about 30 kilometers in length, with the valley floor being 3 to 4 hundred meters at its widest, while the narrowest part is only two or three meters. From above, Anjihai Grand Canyon is rich in colors. On either side of the canyon, red sandstone and gray mudstone alternate to create an astonishing landscape. The colors are formed as the river erodes and dissolves the sandstone and mudstone, drawing abstract pictures on the land. It is one of the most beautiful and yet virtually canyons in Xinjiang. Because it is so hidden and the land on either side of the canyon are the same height, people sometimes come across it without warning. If they don’t stop in time, then they could easily plunge off the cliff.Chinese Painting on the CoastlineFujian, located on the southeast coastal area of China, has the longest and most tortuous coastline in country. 3752 kilometers in length and 1:7.01 in a tortuosity rate, it is endowed with a wealth of natural bays, mudflats, and includes 1321 island. Rivers flow into the sea in almost every single bay alone the coast of Fujian. These bays are rich in nutrients, and the water temperature is steady and moderate, making them perfect places for mariculture cultivating marine organisms for food. About 5000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, the people who lived in this area has already begun farming the seas. Xiapu county is in the northeast of Fujian Province and has a coastline of 404 kilometers, the longest in the province as a whole and enjoys a subtropical marine climate due to its location. It has a broad sea with deep water, along coastline and rich fishery resources, which has created favorable conditions for the booming local mariculture industry. The mudflats here have witnessed tens of millions of years of history and experienced countless tides rising and falling, forming a unique ecological landscape. The mudflats always present different features and unique local characteristics in the different seasons. Xiapu’s name perhaps explains its uniqueness. Xia means the sky with Pu meaning the sea. It suggests a dialogue between two which plays out along its beautiful beaches. At dusk, the Fishermen of Xiapu County begin to spread the fishing nets on the mudflats. The shimmering blues are captivating almost like a Chinese painting. This is not only a natural fishing ground, and home to many fishermen, but also a paradise for photographers.Flawless Jade among the MountainsErhai Lake, at Dali in southwest China, is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province. This beautiful fresh water lake on the plateau covers an area of 256.5 square kilometers, with an average depth of 10 meters and a maximum depth of 20 meters. As Yunan is located far inland, it is said the people here sometimes call this lake Erhai Sea, to express their yearning for the distant ocean. Formed in a rift depression, Erhai Lake has been known since ancient times as the “flawlessjade among mountains” due to the color and clarity of its waters. The Bai people call it the “Mother Lake” Their ancestors knew it as the “Gold Moon”. Beside the Erhai Lake, there is a mountain peak, named Cangshan, which is covered with snow all year round. With an average altitude of more than 3500 meters, Cangshan Mountain forms a sharp contrast with the beautiful scenery of the Erhai Lake. According to legend, the husband of a princess went into battle just after their marriage. He was gone for more than ten years and she feared he had been killed in battle. The princess cried day and night, and her tears gathered to form the Erhai Lake. When her husband eventually returned, he found the princess had died of a broken heart. He swore to heaven that he would turn into a mountain to stay the lake. The couple, the Erhai Lake and Cangshan mountain lived together for eternity. Along the shore of the Erhai Lake, there are many inns where you can hear the gentle lapping of the waters. The lake is also a favorite spot for movie makers. Erhai Lake, shaped like an ear, seems to be listening to every story being told.Four Sisters -A wait for AdventuresMount Siguniang or Mount Four Sisters is located in southwestern China’s Sichuan province. The mountain gets its name from its four peaks adjacent to each other. Local legend says that the mountain god’s four beautiful daughters defeated the devil and turned into four snow mountains to guard the local people. The snowy mountains offer one of the toughest challenges for these would like to conquer them. Out of the four sisters, the youngest one -the Yaomei Peak is the highest and the steepest of them all, with the altitude of 6250 meters. Only the bravest climbers around the world dare to take the challenge. There are glaciers hanging on the southern slope and extending to the foot of the mountain. The western and the northern slope are formed by the daunting steep rocks. So far, the summit record for the Yaomei Peak is only 11 times. The Japanese and American made it twice each. The British, The French and the Russian teams made it once each, and Chinese team reach the top for four times. Besides the four remarkable peaks, Mount Siguniang also has lots of other mountains and valleys that are ready for exploration. The 5484-meters high Camel Peak is formed by two connected peaks. Between them there is a glacial plain. But right behind these glaciers, it is a vertical cliff. And we have the Pomiu Peak that looks like a pyramid. Five Colours Mountain with an altitude of 5500 meters, and the Hunter Mountain with an altitude of 5182 meters. Thanks for its breach-taking and wide landscape, Mount Siguniang is also known as “the Oriental Alps”. For the bravest adventures worldwide, the Four Sisters will continue to lure them and wait for the next one to stand on top of them.。

《魅力中国》英文字幕-part7
The Sapphire on the MountainSayram Lake is located in the northern part of Tianshan mountains in western China. The gem-like pure blue is the most outstanding feature of this mountain lake. Often, a boundary can be seen on the lake between different shades of blue. The secret to this spectacle can be found in the lake water in the lake water which is rich in minerals. The amount of mineral deposits varies in different parts of the lake basin showing as different colours in the refracted sunlight. The beautiful scenery of the Sayram Lake stems from an abundant water source. Warm moist airstreams from the Atlantic Ocean reach here from thousands of miles away. Blocked by mountains and uplifted by terrain, they get trapped, and the resulting rains replenish Sayram Lake. It’s become known as “The Atlantic’s last Tear Drop”. In fact, it’s the dozens of glaciers around the Sayram Lake that are the real creators of the beautiful scenery. Rivers formed by melting water provide a continuous source of freshwater, helping to form a large wetland by the lake. Lush waterweeds attract swans and other rare birds.The Sea of BamboosBamboo has been cultivated and utilized in China for thousands of years at least. And it is possibly one of the Chinese people most cherished plants. There is a bamboo forest in Sichuan Province in Southwest China. Hundreds of millions of bamboos cover 27 mountains and more than 500 peaks. The Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan is the largest natural bamboo forest in the world. It is said there are 428 kinds of bamboos here. Among them, the Nan Bamboo, or Phyllostachys pubescens, grows the fastest. They cover more than 47 thousand square kilometers of the mountain side. And they are able to grow from shoots to mature bamboo in just 40 days and grow into woods within four years. Bamboo is the rarest renewable resource in the mountain’s areas. They are surrounded by cloud all year round. In summer, you can see green everywhere, and in winter, everything turns white. There is bamboo scenery, mountains and rivers, lakes, ancient temples, as well as countless streams overflowing from this bamboo sea. These streams tumble from cliff edges, creating a magnificent scene. Deep in the bamboo forest, in the coves surrounded by mountains, there is a crystal-clear lake called the “Sea with the Sea”. Only by taking a bamboo raft and floating in the waves, can you perhaps truly appreciate this wonderful green world.The Story of Water and StoneYingxi Peak Forest is located in southern China’s Guangdong Province. With more than 1000 peaks, the forest stretches for more than 20 kilometers across the flat land. These small peaks riding from the ground are the result of hundreds of millions of years of water erosion. This kind of landform is called Karst. Some 200 million years ago, there was a vast ocean here. In these seemingly hard rocks, a large number of bones and minerals of marine organisms have been found. Among them, calcium carbonate washed away by continuously running water. The shape of the rocks changed as a result. Hundreds of millions of years of rain erosion has not only carved out peaks, but also scoured out caves underground. The minerals dissolved in the water were deposited here, turning the caves into great halls full of grand columns. The continuous flow of water caused some of these caves to collapse, and the Karst contributed a new geomorphic type-sinkholes. This may appear to us as an eye. But it is a sinkhole. The battle between water and rock had crafted Yingxi Peak Forest into a fantastic landscape.。

In October 2003, the first Chinese citizen saw his homeland from outer space and the mythology and dreams of thousands of years became a reality.2003年10月，中国人第一次从外太空亲眼看到了自己的国家，那数千年的神话和畅想，变成了真实的注视Our songs of how the earth is our garden and our pride in surviving our long history suddenly became more vivid and clear.那些关于地球是个家园的歌颂关于自己在漫长历史里生存下来的骄傲这时刻比别的时候更加清晰具体中国CHINAWho are the Chinese? 我们是谁What makes us who we are? 我们在想什么But even before this momentous chapter in our history, Chinese people have always regarded themselves from multi-faceted angles.早在创造中国历史的这一刻之前，中国人也从未中断过从其他角度审视自己的国家。
Is tradition a burden or kind of a driving force for development?传统是一种背负还是一种推动发展的动力Do we take our cultural heritage too seriously or not seriously enough?文化的传承是太受到关注，还是太漫不经心Do you see conflict or fusion, nostalgia or visions of the future？你看到的是冲突还是融合，是回忆还是未来？Opening the door with confidence开放而有自信30年前，一扇世界上最的的窗户打开了……这个国家，旋即迎接了令人眼花缭乱的变化 In 1979, China opened the biggest window in the world to the outside and China suddenly dazzled people with the panorama of change. 或许有人认为，在这样巨大的物质和信息刺激下，想保持镇定都非常困难Some may argue under such huge material andmental stimulation, it would be hard to maintain equilibrium.在我心目中，中国是一个包容性非常强的国家In my mind, China is a country that has very strong inclusiveness.她是一个很有文化的一个国家She is a country with rich culture.又有历史的沧桑感，但是又在日新月异的变化着She has a long history, but also changes everyday..但是接下来30年间发生的事情，却让全世界都看到一个有着悠久历史底蕴的文化在面临全新变革之时，能够展现出怎样的包容性和应变能力But after 30 years, the world hasseen how much China’s profound history and cultural essence has given, lead us to flexibility and unity when facing fast transformation.(龙永图 WTO谈判中国首席代表)：加入世贸以后，整个国力的增强使得中国人更加自信，也更加开放After China’s accession to the WTO,Chinese people are getting more and more confident because of the increasing national strength.人们不得不承认，中国在和全世界接轨的同时，保持着自己鲜明的特色Observers must中国近几年教育发展的可以用天翻地覆来形容Recently ,the development of Chinese education is amazing在逐步的完成从应试教育到素质教育的转变。
The exam-oriented education is changing to quality-oriented education step by step.我们的教学越来越丰富，我们的孩子得到的教育也越来越多元化。
It will be more and more kinds of method for teaching and our children will get diversified education 能源的增长，以及责任心的增长。
As energy needs have increased, so has China’s international environmental responsibility. 中国人已经懂得，任何增长也不值得拿牺牲自己美丽的家园和后代的未来来换。
Chinese people know that our beautiful country and our children’s futures are too high a price to pay for economic growth.Development with sharing发展而能共享很难说出这是欧洲的什么地方吧A leading European city? 这里是上海。
It’s actually Shanghai. 出现在中国街头的外国人中，游客正在被大批真正在中国生活和工作的外籍人士所取代。
In China today, foreign professionals are arriving with tourists to be the largest overseas group.(M)我因为商业贸易每年来中国两次，感受到中国人都非常好……I came here twice a year for businesses, and feel Chinese people are very nice...(M)我们现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……I've been in China and studied in university. There are many opportunities in business...(M) 中国的每一个部分，你都能看到这样不同的文化，我认为这是亚洲最好的地方……Every part of China, you have like different culture, I think it is the best place in Asia...(M) 感觉现在生活在身边的外国人越来越多了……The number of foreign people around us is increasing. (F)中国现在已经很国际化了……China has been very international...尤其是在北京奥运会、上海世博会以及广州亚运会的促动下，越来越多的外籍人士正在把中国作为自己事业的新起点The Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai Expo, the Guangzhou Asian Games, the fact that more and more foreigners are starting their careers in China.(曾子墨知名主持人)在奥运会期间，我想全世界的中国人，无论生活在地球的哪个角落，你都会觉得特别的自豪。
(Zeng Zimo Well-known television host) During Olympic Games, I think every Chinese who live all over the whole world no matter where ever you live which corner of the earth, you will be proud of being a Chinese.经济发展的成果还使中国得以更好的担当世界公民的使命。
As such the results of sustained economic development have all enhanced our growing status on the world stage. 而在国内，阶层之间如何共享国家的发展，则被当做稳定社会的第一要务来思考和实践。
Sharing the fruits of development among the different sectors of society has been our first priority in our thoughts and actions. 在北京，农民工的孩子现在拥有了自己的班级甚至学校。
In Beijing, migrant workers’children have their own special educational arrangements. 发展利益的合理分享将不懈的被追求下去。
Sharing the benefits of growth in a reasonable way is an unwavering goal we must pursue.(M) 我们国家现在正在提倡走城乡一体化的道路……Our country is encouraging the urban-rural integration...(M) 各个阶层都能享受国家的福利……All levels of the society can enjoy the benefits from government...(M) 社会保障制度也越来越完善……Social insurance system is also improving... Multiculturalism with shared prosperity多元而能共荣While living some 5.000 km apart, the 55 ethnic minorities in the far North, South, East, West of China, over thousands of years, have mixed with Han culture and added to our cultural richness and diversity. Our new-found prosperity has given minorities more choices to enhance traditional lifestyles and increase mobility and communication. Minorities enjoy relative liberal regulations allowing them to pass their unique heritage on to their children. Such unique freedom further adds to our country’s rich cultural diversity and odditiously blends the imaginations of east and west, ancient and modern.Painting, sculpture, music, architecture, movies, Chinese arts are unified by a clear national identity. China is more encouraging of unique individuals and styles. Such diversity is the corner stone of our brave and open-minded future.Freedom with responsibilityChina today is home to 780.000.000 mobile phone users and 420.000.000 Internet users. And everyday many millions communicate and express themselves to a modern technology. Chinese netizens are becoming accustomed to influencing regional and global opinions.From all over the globe, Chinese netizens are showing their instant compassion and eagerness to strengthen the society by helping those most in need.Our people’s optimism and gener osity is born of huge loyalty and love for their country.Expanding democracy with stable authorityUnderstanding a little of Chinese history shows that recent years have involved compression or even skipping over important stages of development. Heroes of China have always struggled during complex stages of development to build democracy. It’s not hard to imagine how hard this has been. Today around 900.000.000 people in the Chinese countryside enjoy village voting rights. The world applauds such training for democracy. After all, before flourishing nationally, free elections must begin at the village level. The National People’s Congress remains China’s supreme legislate body. Since the late 1970s, far fair and more transparent margin elections have been used to elect NPC delegates. Here the most important decisions in the country are made.This is China’s period of greatest change. A proper legal framework is starting to replace the habit of personal relationships as the principle weapon and defense the people’s interests.Economic differences with mutual respectDuring an economic takeoff, difference between rich and poor can sometimes be seen. Is this something Chinese should worry about? Much Chinese new wealth calls a rags-to -riches story.And people remember, not so long ago, they had only a dream in their pocket. People can transform from poverty to richness in a single day but it will never change the respect and love between people. And everyone who has a dream deserves respect. Improved living conditions ensure everyone can contribute to public service initiatives.Prosperity with prudenceChinese people are shifting from being consumers of materials to non-material goods. Besides buying cars and houses, people are buying a modern life style.As saving money has long been a national virtue, China can back its development with strong financial reserves. When celebrating China’s 60th anniversary, the government also demonstrated the value of thrifty. The Shanghai Expo is similarly leading the way in recycling.Chinese people understand future happiness must be built on the foundation of the past. Chinese people have never cherished their cultural heritage more than today, nor felt more its lingering charm which is why after so many generations we are still here. From tradition to revelation, inspired by the future, Chinese people are creating an even newer way of thinking: building this generation’s new common spirit.。
