During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms, such as the Seal script, Clerical script, Regular script and Running script.

As your interest in Chinese character system increases in the days to come, we will introduce in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
我认为个人的工作效力(以及对工作的满意度)的关键在于要了解是什么动机激励人们在工作时达到最高效率或最满意的状态。当然，这取决于我们自己要寻求机会来满足利用激励因素。当一项工作再也不能激励我们进步时，也就是该挪窝跳槽之日了。每种工作都具有生命周期，因此，要对你所干的工作做出准确的判断和评价以决定它是否仍是你想继续留守的地方。考虑如下几个因素。 参考翻译：
I believe the key to personal effectiveness at work(and to job
satisfaction,also)is knowing what motivates us to perform at our best.It's then up to us to seek opportunities to fulfill these motivations.When a job no longer motivates us,it's time to move on.Jobs have lifecycles,so take stock of where you are and decide if that's where you want to be.Consider the following.

在一段时间里，动力的发展一直是衡量进步和国家在技术上竞争的主要尺度。首先在海上，接着在铁路上，然后在公路上，后来在天空，最后在太空，越来越快的运动被视为一件无需担忧的好事，同时，以某种模糊的方式，越来越快的运动被看成是更充分理解世界的一把钥匙。 【参考翻译】
Advances in motive power were for a long while the main way in which progress and national competition in technology were measured.First at sea,then on the railways,then on the roads,in the air and finally in space,more and more rapid movement was seen as an carefree good and also,in some vague way,as a key to a fuller understanding of the world.
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
每当我和朋友在乡间的时候，我知道随时随刻，除非雨真下到头上，某君必然会突然说道，“散步去!”其口气之强硬，是其他任何情况下都见不到的。人们总以为，去散步的想法是与生俱来的尊贵与高尚。有如此念头的人觉得，每当他看到有人舒舒服服坐在椅子上看上，他
就有权力将散步的愿望加诸其身。对于一个老朋友，简单地说声“不”倒也省事，但对于一般相识，你就必须找出一个借口。 【参考翻译】
Whenever I am with my friends in the countryside,I know at any time,unless it rains,someone would suddenly say to me“go and take a walk”.The way he speaks is so strong that it is rarely seen in other circumstances.People always hold it that the very idea of taking a walk goes with inborn dignity and nobility.For people having that idea in mind,when he sees others sitting comfortably in a chair and reading,he would think that he has the power to impose the wish of taking a walk on the one seated.While an old friend would take a simple “No”for an answer,but not the ordinary acquaintance,you have to find some excuse.
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
互生最叫我们纪念的是他做人的态度。他本来是一副铜筋铁骨，黑皮肤衬着那一套大布之衣，看去像个乡下人。他什么苦都吃得，从不晓得享用，也像乡下人。他心里那一团火，也像乡下人。那一团火是热，是力，是光。由他不爱多说话，但常常微笑;那微笑是自然的，温暖的。在他看，人是可以互相爱着的，除了一些成见已深，不愿打开窗户说亮话。的。他对这些人却有些憎恶，不肯假借一点颜色。世界上只有能憎的人才能爱;爱憎没有定见，只是毫无作为的脚色。公互生觉得青年成见还少，希望最多;所以愿意将自己的生命一滴不剩而献给他们，让爱的宗教在他们中间发荣滋长，让他们都走向新世界去。 参考翻译：
What wag most memorable about Husheng was his attitude toward life. He was as strong as a man ofsteel, his dark complexion set off by clothes of coarse cloth, looking like someone from the countryside.He could withstand any hardship and never sought ease and comfort. In this respect he was like acountryman, too. Again like a countryman, he had a heart as warns as fire radiating warmth, power andlight. He was a man of few words, but of all smiles. His smile was natural and friendly. In his view,people could love each other, except those with deep prejudices and those who could not bring themselvesout in the open. He hated these people, and to them he wouldn't show anything like gentleness. In thisworld, only those who could hate could love. Those who did not know what to love and what to hatewere useless people. Hussheng thought that young people had little prejudice but lots of future promise, sohe was willing to devote his life to them without reservation, letting the religion of love grow and flourishamong them so that they could all go to a new world.

如今，中国正步入老龄化社会，因此独生子女一代面临着巨大的工作和生活压力。中国政府开始适当调整计划生育政策，允许一些家庭在特殊情况下生育二胎。但调查显示，很多夫妻迫于不断加重的经济压力，放弃生育二胎。因此，要从根本上解决老龄化的问题不能依靠出生率的上升，最有效的办法是建立有效的社会保障制度。 【精彩译文】
Nowadays, China is stepping into the aging society. Therefore, the only-child generation is facing enormous pressure both from work and life. The Chinese government has begun to adjust the family planning policy and allows some families to have a second child under certain circumstances. However, the survey shows that some couples abandon to have a second child due to the increasing financial burden. Thus, in order to solve the aging problem, the basic thing is not relying on the increase of birth rate. The best solution is to establish an effective social security system. 【翻译词汇】 步入 step into

中国的官方语言普通话在美国的学校中突然热起来。由于中国经济在21世纪的快速发展，美国的公立和私立学校纷纷在外语课程中加入汉语这一科目，或将已有的汉语教学项目进行扩展。据统计，在美国的学校中，有5万名孩子在学习汉语。但推动汉语项目的发展不是没有遇到困难。由于缺乏受过专业训练、持有证书的教师，一些学校很难加入汉语教学的竞争。当学校聘用教师时，它们通常直接从中国招聘，这种方式为文化冲突埋下了隐患。 【精彩译文】
Mandarin, the official language of China, is suddenly hot in American schools. With the rapid development of China’s economy in the 21th century, both public and private schools in America are scrambling to add Mandarin to their curricula of foreign languages or expanding Chinese language programs already in place. By some estimates, as many as 50 000 children nationwide are taking Mandarin in American schools. To develop Chinese-language programs has met some difficulties. A shortage of professionally trained teachers with certificates has made it difficult for some schools to join the competition. When schools need to employ teachers, they often recruit them from China directly, which is a hidden trouble for culture clash. 【翻译词汇】

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
然而，很少有人从书中去了解读书可以给与我们什么东西。通常，我们在读书时思路不清，心怀抵触，要求小说应该真实，要求诗歌应该虚假，要求传记应该吹捧，要求史书应该执行我们的各种偏见。如果读书能够摒除所有这些先人之见，那将是值得赞赏的开始。 参考翻译
Yet few people know what books can give us.Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds,asking of fiction that it shall be true,of poetry that it shall be false,of biography that it shall be flattering,of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices.If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read,that would be an admirable beginning.
