Translation汉译英

11.孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派(Confucianism)的

创始人，被尊称为古代的“圣人"(sage)。他的言论和生平活动记录在《论语》

(TheAnalects)一书中。《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作，对后来历代

的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。不研究《论语》，就不能真正把

握中国几千年的传统文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，对中国社

会产生了深远的影响。在21世纪的今天，孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视,

而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。

圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。

它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为

一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督徒也方励之庆祝圣诞节。如今，圣诞节

在便于被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代

浒的圣诞节风俗包括圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、

举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，空上节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据

传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节

送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一

个重大活动和主要销售季。
