2014年6月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：孔子學(xué)院

　　請(qǐng)將下面的內(nèi)容翻譯成英文：

　　改革開(kāi)放30 年來(lái)，隨著中國(guó)逐漸崛起成為政治經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)國(guó)，海外人士學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)的現(xiàn)象與日俱增，海外孔子學(xué)院也成了人們學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)語(yǔ)言和中國(guó)文化的首選之地。// 通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)，他們對(duì)這個(gè)和自己文化大相徑庭的古老文明產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣，而且有機(jī)會(huì)了解中國(guó)的哲學(xué)、藝術(shù)、醫(yī)學(xué)、飲食文化，親身體驗(yàn)這個(gè)文明古國(guó)的風(fēng)采。// 作為第二文化，中國(guó)文化也豐富了他們的生活和世界觀?？梢哉f(shuō)，這個(gè)潮流方興未艾。越來(lái)越多的學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)的美國(guó)人除了對(duì)中國(guó)菜肴贊不絕口之外，也在嘗試針灸，草藥和武術(shù)。//他們也看功夫電影，學(xué)習(xí)東方時(shí)裝潮流和手工藝，不知不覺(jué)的在日常生活中談及中國(guó)的點(diǎn)心，人參、銀杏，烏龍茶等。目前在美國(guó)最熱門(mén)的中國(guó)文化是道家學(xué)說(shuō)和有著神秘色彩的風(fēng)水學(xué)。

　　參考譯文：

　　As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs. And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerable civilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners. This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay. Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture ,herbal medicines, martial arts.// They are also interested in Kongfu films,fashions and crafts. Seemingly outlandish words such as dim sum, ginseng,gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language. The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism, and ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//
