英译汉：1.First of all let us take the Chinese language. As the Chinese live a life of theheart, the Chinese language, I say, is also a language of the heart. Now it is awell-known fact that children and uneducated persons among foreigners inChina learn Chinese very easily, much more so than grown-up and educatedpersons. What is the reason of this? The reason, I say, is because children anduneducated persons think and speak with the language of the heart, whereaseducated men, especially men with the modern intellectual education of Europe, think and speak with the language of the head or intellect. In fact, the reasonwhy educated foreigners find it so difficult to learn Chinese, is because they are too educated, too intellectually and scientifically educated. As it is said of theKingdom of Heaven, so it may also be said of the Chinese language:_"Unlessyou become as little children, you cannot learn it. "Next let us take another well-known fact in the life of the Chinese people. The Chinese, it is well-known, have wonderful memories. What is the secret of this? The secret is: the Chinese remember things with the heart and not with the head. The heart with its power of sympathy, acting as glue, can retain things much better than the head or intellect which is hard and dry. It is, for instance, also for this reason that we; all of us, can remember things which we learnt when we were children much better than we can remember things which we learnt in mature life. As children, like the Chinese, we remember things with the heart and not with the head.Let us next take another generally admitted fact in the life of the Chinesepeople_their politeness. The Chinese are, it has often been remarked, a peculiarly polite people. Now what is the essence of true politeness? It is consideration for the feelings of others. The Chinese are polite because, living a life of the heart, they know their own feelings and that makes it easy for them to show consideration for the feelings of others. The politeness of the Chinese, although not elaborate like the politeness of the Japanese, is pleasing because it is, as the French beautifully expressit, la politesse du coeur, the politeness of the heart. The politeness of the Japanese, on the other hand, although elaborate, is not so pleasing, and I have heard some foreigners express their dislike of it, because it is what may be called a rehearsal politeness_a politeness learnt by heart as in a theatrical piece. It is not a spontaneous politeness which comes direct from the heart. In fact the politeness of the Japanese is like a flower without fragrance, whereas the politeness of a really polite Chinese has a perfume like the aroma of a precious ointment_instar unguenti fra-grantis_ which comes from the heart.Last of all, let us take another characteristic of the Chinese people, by calling attention to which the Rev. Arthur Smith has made his reputation, viz. :_want of exactness. Now what is the reason for this want of exactness in the ways of the Chinese people? The reason, I say again, is because the Chinese live a life of the heart. The heart is a very delicate and sensitive balance. It is not like the head or intellect, a hard, stiff, rigid instrument. You cannot with the heart think with the same steadiness, with the same rigid exactness as you can with the head or intellect. At least, it is extremely difficult to do so. In fact, the Chinese pen or pencil which is a soft brush, may be taken as a symbol of the Chinese mind. It is very difficult to write or draw with it, but when you have once mastered the use of it, you will, with it, write and draw with a beauty and grace which you cannot do with a hard steel pen.Now the above are a few simple facts connected with the life of the Chinese people which anyone, even without any knowledge of Chinese, can observe and understand, and by examining these facts, I think, I have made good my hypothesis that the Chinese people live a life of the heart.Now it is because the Chinese live a life of the heart, the life of a child, that they are so primitive in many of their ways. Indeed, it is a remarkable fact that for a people who have lived so long in the world as a great nation, the Chinese people should to this day be so primitive in many of their ways. It is this fact which has made superficial foreign students of China think that the Chinese have made no progress intheir civilisation and that the Chinese civilisation is a stagnant one. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that, as far as pure intellectual life goes, the Chinese are, to a certain extent, a people of arrested development. The Chinese, as you all know, have made little or no progress not only in the physical, but also in the pure abstract sciences such as mathematics, logic and metaphysics. Indeed the very words "science" and "logic" in the European languages have no exact equivalent in the Chinese language. The Chinese, like children who live a life of the heart, have no taste for the abstract sciences, because in these the heart and feelings are not engaged. In fact, for everything which does not engage the heart and feelings, such as tables of statistics, the Chinese have a dislike amounting to aversion. But if tables of statistics and the pure abstract sciences fill the Chinese with aversion, the physical sciences as they are now pursued in Europe, which require you to cut up and mutilate the body of a living animal in order to verify a scientific theory, would inspire the Chinese with repugnance and horror.Key:首先，我们来谈谈中国的语言。

Topic: Different comments of TV Dating ProgramsIn China's top-rated收视最高TV entertainment show电视综艺节目, If You Are the One is the summit of Chinese television fame电视节目.As we can see that viewers have been disgusted by some of the contestants, however, they continue to watch religiously. In fact, Jiangsu's If You Are the One has been joined on the airwaves电视广播by several competing programs in recent months, including Let's Go on a Date“我们约会吧”in Hunan province and Run for Love“为爱向前冲” in Zhejiang province. Why are people still tuning in收看?“Audiences like the programs because they’re hones t. They show the current reality of Chinese society,” says Yan Mu, one of the founders of , an online dating婚恋网站 service with 21 million registered users注册用户. Young people are so focused on making money and building their careers立业these days, they have little time to devote to dating恋爱 and contestants speak to these difficulties on the shows, he says. “Many people feel pressure from their parents and peers,”Yan adds.“It can be a struggle to find a partner.” Mone y may not buy you love. But on China's reality shows, it can at least get you a date.By the standards of the USA, China's twice-weekly, hour-long hit shows can appear tame. For Chinese viewers, they have proved riveting, turning traditional matchmaking传统相亲模式 on its head and celebrating instant celebrity一夜成名.“In the old shows, people just introduced themselves, and there was little mutual choice互相选择的环节,” says Wang Gang, who produces If You Are the One for Jiangsu Satellite TV. Wang says his show offers confrontation, nerves and suspense. “Our style is new, and the mass audience has got bored of singing and dancing programs. 歌舞类节目”“The Chinese family is unique in the world, as we have a one-child policy,” says Take Me Out《我们约会吧》producer Liu Lei,“but parents attach great importance to carrying on the family name延续家族姓氏, so marriage is a big issue.”Liu insists that the money-worship金钱的崇拜 of some contestants does not reflect mainstream Chinese society中国社会主流, but she concedes,“Many girls really love rich men.”No TV shows can fully reflect social reality, says Yi Hong, a Chinese television scholar at Beijing's Qing Hua University. He prefers If You Are the One because “It's more controversial争议性.” Why so popular?“China's social environment is changing, as people dare to express their private life and love values in public,” he says.在国内收视最高的电视综艺节目中,《非诚勿扰》一跃成为中国最著名的电视节目。
Episode one: reportWe all try to strike that balance between aging gracefully -- and not looking as though we're older than we really are. With age, your skin thins and grows less elastic. As a result, wrinkles, age spots and skin tags become more common. Generally speaking, you can promote healthier skin by bathing in warm -- and not hot -- water. You should also wear sunscreen and not smoke.But even if you've done everything right, there are some body parts that just seem destined to betray your age no matter what you do. We asked our Facebook friends what body part reveals their age. The most common responses? Neck, hands and face. We've put together a list of the six body parts that betray your age first -- with some helpful hints on how to keep yourself from looking too old, too fast. What do you think? Let us know in comments.1. Hands: Always exposed to the elements, your hands probably give away your age more than any other body part.2. Face: Freckles may look adorable when you're a kid but dark spots on your face as you grow older are just, well, unattractive.3. Eyelids: As you grow older, your eyelids will stretch and the muscles supporting them will grow weaker.4. Neck: Your neck often looks older before anything else because its skin is thinner than that on your face. Preventative measures such as the use of the same products you put on your face are a good idea.5. Elbows: Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done about the loose skin developing on your elbows. You can try using a moisturizer or cream -- or wearing long-sleeved shirts.6. Hair: Not only does your hair become thinner and grayer with age, but it also becomes more dry and brittle. Experts say you can add moisture to your hair by using certain oils. You can also give your strands some TLC by scrapping harsh chemicals and trying protein-rich hair treatments instead.Episode two: education英国高等教育统计局（HESA）的最新数据表明，去年全体毕业生中，得到一级荣誉学位和二级甲等荣誉学位的毕业生比例为68%，欧盟国家以外的留学生中比例为52%，而中国留学生中比例仅为42%。
TV Dating ProgramsWith the rapid evolution of the society and the change of people’s perceptions,TV dating shows produced by some of China's provincial satellite TV stations have become very popular. Following the success of Jiangsu Satellite TV's "If You Are the One", some other TV stations have been making their own dating programs such as "Rendezvous" "One in a hundred" "My Destiny With You" .These programs have generated debate among the viewers. Some audience think that these programs may have a bad effect on young people. It challenges our traditional view of love and marriage, and people are no longer implicit or subtle talking about love.Character, disposition, and quality give way to material things and appearance in choosing a mate. Even worse, many candidates as well as TV programs are just sensational, without showing their true selves. Even though they succeed in dating a partner, there is great possibility that they may be incompatible.Despite their high ratings, TV dating shows have also raised much concern over their negative impact on the society. Firstly, it reflects the progress of the society, the improvement of people’s living standard, and , to some extent, the development of the economy. Secondly, it provides the singled with more chances to find their lifelong partner. Thirdly, it takes courage for the candidates to participate, and the process can increase their confidence, enlarge their social circle, enrich the life experience, and perhaps bring more opportunities besides dating.In my opinion, the popularity of the TV dating programs can be employed as an opportunity to advocate positive values of love and marriage. After all, most people disapprove of the idea of money worship.Medical Diet in ChinaMedical diet is the diet of therapeutic function which is produced by cooking and processing the drugs and foods. It is the product of combination of Chinese traditional medical knowledge and cooking experiences. Medical diet originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some materials about it were collected and arranged by doctors in Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor, then it was gradually developed into the health practices with rich content, affirmative effect and far-reaching impact today.Chinese medicated diet is not a simple combination of food and Chinese drugs, but a special highly finished diet made from Chinese drugs, food and condiments under the theoretical guidance of diet preparation based on differentiation of symptoms and signs of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It has not only the efficiency of medicine but also the delicacy of food, and can be used to prevent and cure diseases, build up one's health and prolong one's life.Chinese medicated diet has begun to go abroad. medicated cans, health-care drinks and medicated wine made from traditional Chinese medicine have been sold at the international market. Medicated diet dining- halls have been set up in some countries. Personnel of academic, industrial and commercial circles abroad have paid close attention to Chinese medited diet-a special food, hoping to develop academic exchanges and technical and economic cooperation in this respect. Chinese medicateddiet will make contributions to the health of the people all over the world.The characteristics of Chinese medicated diet are as follows:First,Laying Stress on the Whole, Selecting Medicated Diet on the Basis of Differential Diagnosis.Second,Suitable for both Prevention and Treatment, Outstanding in Effect.Third.,Good in Taste, Convenient for TakingToady with wide and rapid spread of the western medicine in china, people gradually come to realize that these two different medical systems both have their own advantages and defects. The best way is to combine and to assimilate these two systems in theory and practice.Peking opera of ChinaPeking opera of China is a national treasure with a history of 200 years.Peking opera is a synthesis of stylized action, singing, dialogue and mime, acrobatic fighting and dancing to represent a story or depict different characters and their feelings of gladness, anger, sorrow, happiness, surprise, fear and sadness. In Peking opera there are four main types of roles: sheng (male) dan (young female), jing( painted face,male), and chou (clown, male or female).

The melody may be classified into two groups: "Xipi" and "erhong", guiding pattern, original pattern, slow pattern, quick pattern, desultary pattern being their chief patterns. The costumes in it are graceful, magnificent, elegant and brilliant, most of which are made in handicraft embroidery. As the traditional Chinese pattern are adopted, the costumes are of a high aesthetic value.The types of facial make-ups in Peking opera are rich and various, depicting different characters and remarkable images, therefore they are highly appreciated. Moreover there are numerous fixed editions of facial make-up.Since Mei Lanfang, the grand master of Peking opera, visited Japan in 1919, Peking opera has become more and more popular with people all over the world, and it has made an excellent contribution to cultural exchange between China and the West, to friendly association and to improvement of solidarity.An introduction to Foshan,Guangdong ProvinceFoshan city, located in the center of the Pearl River Delta, is connected to Guangzhou and adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao.
