Some people say “we live in a dog-eat-dog.”This means that when many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs, they are quick to forget their basic humanity. They also say that，a person has to “work like a dog” to be successful. This means they have to work very, very hard .Such hard work can make people “dog-tired.” And if we，fall ill or become miserable, we might become sick as a dog.”

有人说：“我们生活在一个竞争激烈的世界里。”这意味着，当很多人去竞争相同的东西时，比如说好的工作，他们会很快就忘记了他们基本的人性。他们会说，一个人要“像狗一样地工作”才能成功。这意味着他们要非常非常地努力工作。那样努力地工作让人们筋疲力尽。如果我们生病了或变得生活很悲惨，我们可能会像狗一样生病。

In Miao Fu’s painting huge carp shakes its head and moves its tail in the water, relax and pleased with itself, looking down on the smaller fish. The carp is considered the dragon reborn in Chinese folk stories, and brings happiness and wealth to people .The painter makes this carp the king of the water. In fact, he is praising the emperor’s nobility and generosity in a subtle way. What more would one expect of a court painter?

在缪辅的画中，一条巨大的鲤鱼在水中悠闲地摇头摆尾，俯视着小鱼，十分悠闲快活。在中国的民间故事中，鲤鱼被尊敬为转世的龙，和给人们带来幸福和快乐。画家让这条鲤鱼成为了水中之王。事实上，他在以微妙的方式歌颂对皇帝的尊重和慷慨。一个宫廷画家还会预期跟多的什么呢？

Sure, we live in a global culture, and there will always be an interest in international cooperation in China. But the days of Chinese architects sitting in the background with the task of working out the construction details of someone else’s vision are quickly coming to an end. Wang’s award is a very positive sign for China. Who can interpret the regional and cultural forces better than those living among them?

当然，我们生活在一个全球化的文化中，在中国总是会有国际合作的兴趣。过去中国建筑设计师坐在幕后兢兢业业为别人的梦想而打点细枝末节的日子就要一去不复返了。王的获奖对中国是个积极的信号。谁能比生活在其中的他们更好地解释说明区域和文化的力量呢？The Great Wall snakes across China’s landscape like a huge sleeping dragon, rising and falling with the contours of the countryside. William believes the Great Wall is the world’s greatest open-air museum, and when people walk on it they are walking on history, which is totally unique and makes the Great wall a real wonder of the world.

长城就像一条沉睡的巨龙，绵延于中国大地，随着乡间的地形轮廓起起伏伏。威廉相信长城是世界最伟大的露天开放博物馆，和当人们走在长城上就像走在历史中，这是独一无二的，让长城成为世界真正的奇迹。

“We do not stop playing because we are your old. We grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor each and every day. You have got have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and they don’t even know it! There is a big difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 year old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. And have no regrets. The elderusually don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

我们不会因为变老而停止玩耍相反我们因为停止玩耍而变老.。关于永驻青春的秘诀只有四个，保持年轻，开心，和取得成功。你要笑颜常在，并发现每一天的乐趣。你要有梦想，如果你失去了梦想，那么你就死了。每天总有很多人在你的周围，他们的内心已经死了，只是他们还不知道，在变老与成长之间有着巨大的不同，如果你19岁，你躺在床上一整年，不做任何有意义的事情，你仍然能够变成20岁，而如果我是个87岁的老人，我躺在床上一年，不做任何事，我也会变成88岁，每个人的年龄都会变大这不需要任何的天赋与能力。所以我的主意是通过不断的做出改变的机会而使自己成长。并将无怨无悔。年长的人通常不会为他们所做的事后悔，而是为他们没有做的事后悔。只有还有遗憾的人才会怕死。Explaining his success, Chaplin once wrote, “You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret. Even when I was in the children’s home, when I was wandering the streets trying to find enough to eat to keep alive, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world.”T hought hard time and glorious days he always believed in himself and never lost faith. It was through this self-confidence that Chaplin made people look at the world more positively despite their own troubles. And even though his films were in black and white, he put a lot of color into everyone’s life.

在解释他的成功，卓别林曾经写道，“你必须相信自己。这就是秘诀，甚至当我还在儿童之家时，当我在街头努力寻找足够的食物来维持生活时，尽管如此，我还是认为自己是世界上最伟大的演员”经过艰苦的日子和辉煌的日子，他始终相信自己和从不丧失信心。正是通过这种自信，卓别林使人们尽管有自己的困难，仍更积极地看待这个世界。尽管他的电影是黑白的，但他给每个人的生活注入了许多色彩。

In Chinese culture, fish symbolize wealth, harmony, happy marriage, and reproduction. And fish can also help people communicate with their distant friends or loved ones. Among fishes, the carp is very popular and is regarded as a symbolof power because its scales and whiskers are similar to those of the dragon. Many painters are interested in and good at painting fish. Three paintings are mentioned here: In the first painting, the painter refuses to follow the convention and shows the charm of the happy goldfish in an unusual way. In the second painting, the use of “boneless”techniques makes the swimming fish seem more real. In the third painting, it is obvious that a court painter is praising the emperor’s nobility and generosity in a skillful way through painting ahuge carp.

在中国文化中，鱼象征着财富、和谐、幸福的婚姻，和繁衍。鱼类还可以帮助人们与远方的朋友或亲人交流。在鱼类中，鲤鱼非常受欢迎，被认为是力量的象征，因为它的鳞和胡须与龙相似。许多画家对鱼感兴趣，擅长画鱼。这里提到了三幅画：在第一幅画中，画家拒绝遵循传统，以一种不同寻常的方式展示了快乐金鱼的魅力。在第二幅画中，“无骨”技术的使用使游动的鱼看起来更真实。在第三幅绘画中，很明显，宫廷画家通过画一条巨大的鲤鱼以巧妙的方式赞美皇帝的高贵和慷慨。
