好莱坞的动作明星的?

JL: I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learnt martial arts, that is my special key. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. But after a few years, I really want to do something different… like using martial arts to talk about peace and achieve peace. CNN 记者:这听起来似乎是矛盾的,对吗?您是一个打斗专家,但您却要谈和平?

JL: That’s right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts. That’s only the physical part. It’s not true that the Chinese people are all Kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts. As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience. Lesson3

3.3 史蒂夫 福布斯谈《福布斯》

我祖父20世纪初来到美国。他离开英格兰时身上没什么钱。连他在内兄弟姐妹10人,不过他自小就受到很好的教育。像许多人一样,他也是满怀憧憬和理想来到美国的。他创办了《福布斯》杂志,报道那些实干家,那些改变商业社会的人。

我祖父常说,做生意不是堆积百万财富,而是为带来幸福快乐。如今

我们讲到公司、经营,文章中会用到许多数字,但焦点一直放在人上面。对公司来说,最重要的是人,而不是资产负债表。以前我祖父是这样看的,我们现在也是这样看的。

当前的世界信息泛滥,足以将人淹没,人们迫切需要一本刊物来解读这些信息,告诉读者哪些重要,哪些不重要。这就是《福布斯》的价值所在。我们提供额外的视角和判断。我们从不停留于表面,总想看看公司到底是如何经营的,正是当今芜杂繁多的信息使得《福布斯》日益重要。

4.4 Preserve core values of the Lunar New Year

To people of Chinese descent around the world, the Lunar New Year (also called Spring Festival) is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year. Dating back 3,000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and welcomes a new year.

The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is the most special, with members of the extended family gathering for the most significant meal of the year. Even the absent members will endeavor to return home in time for it. It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion.

The way people celebrate the New Year embodies two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom. The female members are always held responsible for preparing the dinner, and some rich families may take on extra hands. The second value lies in the happy visits mutually made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship and friendship.
