翻譯TranslationUnitOne孔子是中國歷史上著名的思想家，教育家，是儒家學(xué)派（Confucianism）的創(chuàng)始人，被尊稱為古代的“圣人”（sage）。他的言論和生平活動(dòng)記錄在《論語》（theAnalects）一書中。《論語》是中國古代文化的經(jīng)典著作，對(duì)后來歷代的思想家，文學(xué)家，政治家產(chǎn)生了很大影響。不研究《論語》,就不能真正把握中國幾千年的傳統(tǒng)文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，對(duì)中國社會(huì)產(chǎn)生了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。在21世紀(jì)的今天，孔子的學(xué)說不僅受到中國人的重視，而且也越來越受到整個(gè)國際社會(huì)的重視。ConfuciuswasagreatthinkerandeducatorinChinesehistory.HewasthefounderofConfucianismandwasrespectfullyreferredtoasanancient"sage".HiswordsandlifestorywererecordedTheinAnalects.AnenduringclassicofancientChineseculture,TheAnalectshashadagreatinfluenceonthethinkers,writers,andstatesmenthatcameafterConfucius.Withoutstudyingthisbook,onecouldhardlytrulyunderstandthethousands-of-years'traditionalChineseculture.MuchofConfucius'thought,especiallyhisthoughtoneducation,hashadaprofoundinfluenceonChinesesociety.Inthe21stcentury,ConfucianthoughtnotonlyretainstheattentionoftheChinese,butitalsowinsanincreasingattentionfromtheinternationalcommunity.

UnitTwo每年農(nóng)歷（Chineselunarcalendar）八月十五是我國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日---中秋節(jié)（theMid-AutumnFestival）。這時(shí)是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱為中秋。中秋節(jié)的一項(xiàng)重要活動(dòng)是賞月。夜晚，人們賞明月，吃月餅，共慶中秋佳節(jié)。中秋節(jié)也是家庭團(tuán)圓的時(shí)刻，遠(yuǎn)在他想的游子，會(huì)借此寄托自己對(duì)故鄉(xiāng)和親人的思念之情。中秋節(jié)的習(xí)俗很多，都寄托著人們對(duì)美好生活的熱愛和向往。自2008年起，中秋節(jié)成為中國的法定節(jié)假日。AccordingtotheChineselunarcalendar,August15ofeveryyearisatraditionalChinesefestival—theMid-AutumnFestival.Thisdayisthemiddleofautumn,soitiscalledMid-Autumn.OneoftheimportantMid-AutumnFestivalactivitiestisoenjoythemoon.Onthatnight,peoplegathertogethertocelebratetheMid-AutumnFestival,lookingupatthebrightmoonandeatingmoon.cakesThefestivalisalsoatimeforfamilyreunion.Peoplelivingfarawayfromhomewillexpresstheirfeelingsofmissingtheirhometownsandfamiliesatthisfestival.Therearemanycustomstocelebratethefestival,eallxpressingpeople’sloveandhopeforahappylife.Since2008,theMid-AutumnFestivalhasbecomeanofficialnationalholidayinChina.UnitThree
