段落翻译—中国人的住宅
以前中国人在盖房子的时候，都要先请人看分水，看似迷信，也并非没有道理。按照中国人的想法，任
何建筑物都不应该破坏大自然的和谐，而且要让建筑物和大自然融为一体。住在这种房子里的人，会觉得自己不是关在笼子里，而是生活在宁静的大自然里面。所以，中国人盖房子，通常都坐北朝南，以便接受冬天的阳光和夏日的清风。这种房子冬暖夏凉，住在里面非常舒服。
段落翻译—琴棋书画
中国人最懂得消遣，中国从前的读书人，闲暇时间以琴棋书画作为消遣。在中国人看来，艺术品的好坏，意味着作者人格的高低，所以弹琴、下棋、写字和绘画，都代表着一个人的修养。弹琴不是要做音乐家，而是随着美妙的琴声，进入一个辽阔的世界，净化自己的心灵。下棋不是为了胜负，而是磨练耐性和使人眼光远大。写字不仅是把字写得漂亮，同时也是为了陶冶情操。绘画则是借着画面上的简单线条，表现自己的想象的世界。

t开头的英文名传统的中国画不是模仿自然的器具，而是表现心灵、抒发性情(reveal temperament)的艺术形式。画中的意象与书法中的文字一样，是一种概括抽象的象征符号(generalized and abstract symbols)，伴随着象征符号的是传统的程式表现技巧(conventional patterns of expression)。古代的大师们创造着各自独特的意象及程式，风格迥异(in divergent styles)，生机勃勃(with great vigor)。后来的画家(followers)惯于模仿古人的程式，所作之画千人一面(in monotonously invariable styles)。现代的艺术家从原始形式中找寻自我(identity)，建立现代的意象和格局，却一直不曾背离(divert from)高雅的传统。

Chine Painting
Traditional Chine paintings are not instruments to imitate nature, but art to express emotion and reveal temperament. The images in paintings, like the characters in calligraphy, are generalized and
abstract symbols, accompanied by conventional patterns of expression. The ancient masters created their unique images, and patterns with great vigor and in divergent styles. Their followers, apt to copy traditional patterns, made their paintings in monotonously invariable styles. Modern artists are eking their identity in original practice, and are creating modern images and patterns without diverting from elegant tradition.
