二、惊天重合：史上第三大难题（2）

小波妞：“这是一幅非常有趣的图画：一位可爱的美国女孩穿着传统的中国服装，面带甜蜜的微笑。她带着珍珠项链、五彩发带、耳环和其他具有某种少数民族特征的装饰品。显而易见，作为我们的开放政策的结果，越来越多的外国人访问中国，并对我们的民族文化产生兴趣，使之走向世界。

对于这个现象，没有必要大惊小怪。随着科技与经济的迅速发展，世界正在变得越来越小，而国际文化交流日益频繁，不可避免地推进了我们和其他国家之间的相互理解和友谊。

作为中国人，我们应该尊重自己的民族文化，并且从其他国家的文化中取其精华，这将使我们能够在很多方面获得巨大的进步。我坚信只要我们竭尽全力推进民族与世界文化的发展，我们将走向快乐、光明的未来。”

道长：翻译得很好！接着来翻当年的18分范文。

Nowadays, “national culture or international culture” has become a matter of great concern for the general public in our society, especially for those who are confronted with this problem. Now let’s take a look at the American girl in traditional Chinese costume. She looks very beautiful with a nice smile on her face. It seems that the girl is very fond of the Chinese costume.

Obviously, the picture indicates that a culture of one nation may become international, which is beneficial to all the human beings. Since China has opened its door widely to the outside world, many people from different countries want to visit China. They will accept and love the Chinese culture as a whole. In addition, Chinese culture should be well shared with foreign people who have shown their great interest in it. Meanwhile, the Chinese people are also exposed to foreign cultures when more foreign people come to China. In this way people from various nations in the world will be able to acquire better understanding of each other and live peacefully in this world.

My opinion about this cultural phenomenon is that a national culture should become international. This is because the culture of any nation is a kind of precious heritage, and belongs to the whole mankind.
