例28：
所謂“國家興亡，匹夫有責(zé)”，每一個中國人都要關(guān)心和參與國事，以負(fù)責(zé)任的態(tài)度來提出意見和看法。
All citizens have a duty to the country. Every Chinese should care about national affairs, come forward to take part, voice their views and opinions in a responsible manner.

同時也要虛心接受和包容別人的意見。這樣，我們就能加強人民在國家建設(shè)中的參與感，民族認(rèn)同感和自豪感。
At the same time, they should accept and accommodate others’ views with an open mind. This way, we will be able to enhance people’s sense of participation in national building, as well as their sense of national identity and sense of pride.

當(dāng)然，在多民族社會，我們不僅要促進文化發(fā)展，還要強調(diào)社會和諧的必要性。
Of course, in a multi-racial society, we must not only promote cultural development, but also stress the need for social harmony.

正如儒家所說，“君子和而不同，小人同而不和。”各民族的文化有著不同的，獨特的習(xí)俗，但也有著共同的行善宗旨。我們必須求大同，存小異。
It has been the Confucian philosophy to accommodate divergent views. All ethnic cultures have different unique practices, but they also share a common goal of doing good. We should all work for the common goal while preserving our minor difference.

d住房：
例29:
根據(jù)房地產(chǎn)權(quán)威部門的統(tǒng)計，去年中國的平均住房價格達(dá)到了每平方米2，226元，比前年高出6%。
According to the statistics from the housing/real estate authority, last year the housing price of China averaged 2,226yuan per square meter, which was a 6 percent up over the year before.

北京，上海和廣州的住房價格在全國范圍內(nèi)位居前列，每平方米超過了3，400元。市中心商業(yè)區(qū)及周邊地區(qū)的住房價格則更為昂貴。
Housing in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou ranked the most expensive across the country, because their prices exceeded 3,400yuan per square meter. Houses in and around commercial districts in the city centre were even more expensive.

上述三大城市的住房銷售資料顯示，去年房地產(chǎn)市場的總體增長主要出現(xiàn)在上半年，下半年的增長幅度有所下降。
The sales reports of the houses in the above-mentioned three cities suggest that the overall growth in the real estate market last year occurred mainly in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, the growth rate showed a somewhat downward trend.

我認(rèn)為，由于去年下半年新建成的房地產(chǎn)項目已不斷積累，未售出的存量房增長幅度已經(jīng)超過7%，今年的住房銷售總量將有所減緩。
I think because in the second half of last year, newly-completely housing projects kept growing in number, and because the growth rate of unsold stockpile houses was over 7%, the total sales volume of houses this year will be reduced to some extent.
