【第2套】几千年来,中国人一直把尊老爱幼作为一种社会责任和行为规范(behavioral norm)。战国时期(the Warring States Period)的孟子(Mencius)就曾说过:要想尊敬自己的老人一样尊敬别人的老人,要像爱护自己的孩子一样爱护别人的孩子。在中国,违背了这种道德的人,不光会受到舆论的批评,甚至会受到法律的惩处。这种传统的美德保证了家庭的和睦和社会的稳定,也为中华民族繁衍发展提供了坚实的社会基础。
【参考答案】For thousands of years, the Chinese people have always considered respecting the aged and loving the young as a social responsibility and behavioral norm. Mencius inthe Warring States Period remarked that one should respect others’ parents as one’s own and love others’ children as one’s own. In China, those who go against these moral teachings will not only be crtiticized by public opinions, but also face punishment by law. This traditional virtue ensures family harmony and social stability. It also provides a solid social base for the development of the Chinese nation.
【第3套】自古以来,中华民族都把教育放在十分重要的地位。早在2600多年前,管仲就说过,考虑一年的事情,要种好庄稼;筹划十年的目标,要种好树木;规划百年大事,就要培养人才。在中国第一部教育学专著《学记》(Record of Learning)中也提出了“教学为先”的思想,认为国家的首要任务就是教育。到了春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),孔子在他的家乡开办了私学,并提出了人无论贵贱还是贫富,都有受教育的权利。
【参考答案】 Since ancient times, the Chinese people have attached importance to education. As early as over 2600 years ago, Guan Zhong declared that people should think about growing crops when they plan for the next year. They should plant trees when the plan for the next decade is made. However, they should nurture/cultivate talents when the plan for the next one hundred years is considered. The Record of Learning, China’s first academic monography on education, brought up the idea of “education first”, meaning that a country should give top priority to education. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius ran a private school in his home village, maintaining that everyone, rich or poor, has the right to be educated.

【第5套】中国人将奉亲养老视为义不容辞的责任。中国人相信关爱父母的人诚实守信,与其他人交往知恩图报。中国古代流传着许多关于孝顺(filial devotion)的故事,有一个故事说的是以仁(benevolence)孝而闻名天下的汉文帝(Emperor of Wen of the Han Dynasty)刘恒。母亲生病卧床3年,刘恒夜夜守护在床前,并且给她喂药。他在位24年,重德治,注意发展经济,减轻人民的负担,使社会稳定,生活安康。

【7】孔子是中国最伟大的思想家和教育家,儒家学派的创始人。他的很多思想即使在今天的人来看来也很有价值的。比如,他认为要关爱别人。“己所不欲,勿施于人。”由于“君子和而不同”,因此要承认人与人之间的差异,这样才能维护社会的和谐和稳定。他在教育上主张鼓励学生学会独立思考,在学习书本知识的同时还要有自己独立的见解。
