4.4 Preserve core values of the Lunar New Year保持农历新年的核心价值观 To people of Chinese descent around the world中国血统的人在世界各地, the Lunar New Year农历新年 (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团圆晚餐,, eaten on New Year’s Eve, is the most special, with members of the extended family大家庭
gathering for the most significant meal of the year. Even the absent members will endeavor尽力 to return home in time for it在时间. It underscores强调 the supreme最高的 importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aims at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion团结.
The way people celebrate the New Year embodies体现 two important core values. The first value is the sense of family togetherness; members of multi-generation多代families are all there to have a big reunion dinner. Everyone will follow this custom遵循这一习俗
. 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互相地 made between friends and relatives, a good way to strengthen kinship亲情 and friendship. 加强亲情和友谊的好方法。
However, economic development has resulted in some changes in lifestyles. After a busy year, people are tired of preparing for the reunion dinner, and would rather hold their reunion dinner in posh restaurants高档餐厅,, despite the exorbitant costs过高的成本
. The festival door-to door visits挨家挨户拜访 have given way to New Year greetings via telephone or text messages短信. Some families even go to such
extremes as to travel and seek temporary refuge in a hotel so as to avoid being visited. 一些家庭甚至去旅行等极端并寻求临时避难所的酒店,以免被访问。 Some tradition-minded有传统观的 people regard the reunion dinner and visits to relatives and close friends during the New Year as core values, without which the holiday would lose much of its significance. Some pessimists contend竞争 that, as the popularity of western culture grows, Chinese traditional festivals gradually lose their original meaning and degenerate into commercial festivals沦为商业节日 like Christmas. 中国的传统节日逐渐失去原来的意义和沦为商业节日如圣诞节。
The Spring Festival is an important part of the Chinese cultural heritage . 遗产, and it will continue to be celebrated. The modes模式 of celebration may change, but the core value should be sustained: that of respect for kinship and friendship. 尊重的亲情和友情。
4.5 中英教育交流
Q: My question is about educational exchanges教育交流 . You mentioned in your speech that there are large numbers of Chinese students studying in Britain. As we know, it is extremely difficult to get a scholarship in a British university. But the tuition fees学费
for international students far exceed these for home students. So we can not help wondering about the motivation of British universities in enrolling入学；登记 Chinese students. Is it to promote educational exchanges with China and to liven up campus life in Britain, or just for a commercial purpose? 它是促进与中国的教育交流,使得校园生活在英国,或者只是出于商业目的? Thank you.
A: 这实际上是出于多种考虑This is actually for a variety of consideration。我不否认有商业考虑，办大学也要花钱，不过教育交流是主要目的。奖学金难申请
