第三篇 文化交流

口譯實踐 將下文口譯成英語

現代化的交通、電信與大眾傳媒手段使世界變得越來越小，國際社會如同一個地球村，居住在地球村里的各國人民在文化交流和沖撞中和睦相處，彼此尊重，共求發展。

Modern means of transportation, telecommunication and mass media have shorten the geografical distance of the world. The international community of years to be has grown to be no more than a globle village in which peoples of all nations experience inevitable cultural exchanges and clashes while seeking common development in a harmonious and respectful relationship.

我贊同這樣的看法：當代社會的民族文化不可能在自我封閉的狀態下得到發展。在我看來，不同的文化應該相互學習，取長補短。當然，在廣泛的文化交流中一個民族的文化必須保持本民族的鮮明特色。我認為文化交流不是讓外來文化吞沒自己的文化，而是為了豐富各民族的文化。

I am with the view that in this modern world, the culture of any nation cannot develop in isolation and I believe that different cultures should learn from each other's strength to upset their own weaknesses. Of course, the culture of a nation must uphold its own distinctive national characteristics in its excessive exchanges with other cultures. Cultural exchange, I think, is by no means a process of losing one’s own culture to a foreign culture but a process of richening each other's national cultures.
