China的來歷

　　唐朝時期，人們就在昌南建造窯坊(kiln),燒制出一種青白瓷(bluish white porcelain)。青白瓷色彩晶瑩，有“人造玉器”的美稱，因而遠(yuǎn)近聞名，并大量出口歐洲。當(dāng)時，歐洲人還不會制造瓷器，因此中國特別是昌南鎮(zhèn)的瓷器很受歡迎。 在歐洲，昌南鎮(zhèn)瓷器是備受珍愛的貴重物品，人們以能獲得一件昌南鎮(zhèn)瓷器為榮。因此，歐洲人就以“昌南”作為瓷器和生產(chǎn)瓷器的“中國”的代稱。久而久之，歐洲人就把昌南的本意忘卻了，只記得它是“瓷器”，即“中國”了。

　　【參考翻譯】

　　漢語熱

　　中國的官方語言普通話在美國的學(xué)校中突然熱起來。由于中國經(jīng)濟在21世紀(jì)的快速發(fā)展，美國的公立和私立學(xué)校紛紛在外語課程中加入漢語這一科目，或?qū)⒁延械臐h語教學(xué)項目進(jìn)行擴展。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，在美國的學(xué)校中，有5萬名孩子在學(xué)習(xí)漢語。但推動漢語項目的發(fā)展不是沒有遇到困難。由于缺乏受過專業(yè)訓(xùn)練、持有證書的教師，一些學(xué)校很難加入漢語教學(xué)的競爭。當(dāng)學(xué)校聘用教師時，它們通常直接從中國招聘，這種方式為文化沖突埋下了隱患。

　　【翻譯譯文】

　　Mandarin, the official language of China, is suddenly hot in American schools. With the rapid development of China’s economy in the 21th century,both public and private schools in America are scrambling to add Mandarin to their curricula of foreign languages or expandingChinese language programs already in place. By some estimates, as many as 50 000 children nationwide are taking Mandarinin American schools. To develop Chinese-language programs has met some difficulties. A shortage of professionally trained teachers with certificates has madeit difficult for some schools to join the competition. When schools need to employ teachers, they often recruit them fromChina directly, which is a hidden trouble for culture clash.
