复旦大学创办于1905年，是我国历史最悠久的高等院校之一。20世纪初，沉睡迷茫、积贫积弱的中华民族正处于前程晦暗之中。一批爱国志士将西方学术翻译引进，教育的现代化受到国人关注。数百年的科举制于1905年被废除。同年，复旦大学的前身复旦公学草创于上海。fudan university was founded in 1905, now known as one of chinas leading institutions of higher learning with the longest history. the beginning of the 20th century witnessed an impoverished and enfeebled china that slumbered in dim prospects. it also saw a number of

that concern was the abolishing of the age-old imperial examination system in 1905. in the same year, fudan public school, the predecessor of fudan university, was founded in shanghai. 5、 复旦大学的名字取自于古代“日月光华，旦复旦兮”。复旦大学在其悠久的发展历程中，注重科学知识的传授与科学人才的培养，注重中华民族现代理性的开展与人文精神的养成，可谓披荆斩棘，筚路蓝缕。复旦大学以其民主自由的学术风气，对中国东南的知识分子文化和都市文化的建构，产生了极其重要的影响。 the name of the university fudan, meaning the morning sun rising again, can be etymologically traced back to an ancient chinese book fudan, which includes a poetic line. brilliant are the sunlight and the moonlight after a night the day dawns again. in its

in shaping the academic and urban culture of southeast china. 6、 100年来，复旦大学不仅以其爱国进步、民主科学的精神积极参与并有力推进了我们民族的现代化事业，并且以其“博学而笃志，切问而近思”的治学态度铸造了取精用弘的学术思想，陶冶了一代又一代怀抱超旷的才隽学人，为祖国的社会主义建设事业培养了一大批栋梁之才。 over the

modernization drive. grounded in its educational philosophy of extensive scholarship with unyielding dedication and earnest inquiry with close examination, this university has shaped an academic ideology of extracting the best and exploiting the greatest. as a result, the university has turned out, class upon class, graduates with brilliant scholarship and lofty aspiration, many of whom have become great leaders in chinas grand undertaking of socialist construction. 7、 复旦百年基业，来之不易，目前又面临了一次百年未遇的发展良机。复旦大学已被国家列为中国高等教育发展的重中之重，并且确定了建设世界一流大学的奋斗目标。所谓承前启后之枢轴，事业进步之关键，正当此时。复旦人精诚团结、奋发作为，在这一目标的指引下共襄盛举，不断树丰功于民族复兴的伟业，如“复旦”这一名称所昭示的那样，苟日新，又日新，日日新。with its hard-earned centennial legacy, fudan university finds itself confronting a great chance of further development, a chance in a hundred years. ranked by the government as a top university that deserves priority development among chinese institutions of higher learning, fudan university has embarked on its journey leading to the pantheon of the worlds leading universities. now is the moment that fudan university cannot afford to lose to inherit its fine tradition and usher in the future mission. you will see fudan people striving together in good faith to complete the grand mission of becoming a leading university in the world and persistently making significant new contributions to chinas grand cause of national rejuvenation. with such an endeavor, fudan will live up to what its name aspires to declare to the

everyday.8、素有“江南第一学府”之美誉的复旦大学已经成为一个包容文、理、工、医等学科的综合性大学。一个世纪以来，一代又一代的复旦人秉承“爱国、奉献、求实、创新”的精神，以丰富的想像力、活跃的创造力和卓有成效的实践，在中国高等教育发展史上留下了深深的足迹，为人类的文明和社会的进步，为民族的振兴和国家的强盛，为上海的经济发展和文化繁荣作出了重要的贡献。当前，复旦大学正在大力推进学科建设和教学改革，提高办学质量和效益，全面提升复旦学术研究的知名度和影响力。

我国正处于一个重大的社会转型时期，其转变之巨大，意义之深远，实前所未有。大学之为大学，除了要成为经济和社会发展的推进器，还要成为学术之津梁、思想之摇篮和文化之温床。基于此，复旦作为百年传承之名校，任重而道远。currently, china finds itself in a period of social transition marked with astonishing progress and change. the profundity and significance of this transition are unprecedented. a university is so termed, because it serves not only as a propeller of economic and social progress, but also a ferry and bridge for academic transmission, a cradle of thoughts and a hotbed for breeding culture. thus anticipated, fudan university, as a prestigious university with a century-long academic tradition and intellectual esteem, is destined to shoulder weighty responsibilities on its long journey ahead. 10、 让我们共同为复旦未来的辉煌而祝福吧。下面请各位随我参观校园。let us place our blessing on the brilliant future of fudan university. now, please follow me as we tour around the campus.培训 206unit 7 参观访问passage twovancouver 温哥华 canadas gateway to the pacific 加拿大通往太平洋的门户the panama canal 巴拿马运河 natural ice-free harbor
