Americans view the family as a group whose primary purpose is to advance the happiness of individual members. In contrast to many other cultures, the primary responsibility of the American family member is not to advance the family as a group, either socially or economically. What would be best for the family is not usually considered to be as important as what would be best for the individual. With freedom comes the responsibility to care for oneself, for it is the freedom of choice that carries with it the responsibility: to accept the consequences of the choices. Many Americans give their children a lot of freedom because they want them to be independent and self-reliant. Along with the American emphasis on individual freedom, the belief in equality between parents and children also has had a strong effect on the family. 作為美國文化價值體系的一個重要組成部分,"個人主義"受到大多數(shù)美國人的推崇。美國人認為家庭作為一個群體,其主要目的是促進家庭各成員的幸福。與許多其他文化相比,美國家庭成員的主要職責,不是在社會上或經(jīng)濟上提高整個家庭的地位。人們通常認為,什么是對個人最好的要比什么是對家庭最好的更為重要。與自由相伴而來的是照顧自己的責任,因為所選擇的自由承載了責任,即必須接受自己的選擇所帶來的后果。許多美國人給他們的孩子很多的自由,因為他們希望孩子們能夠獨立和自力更生。在美國人強調(diào)個人自由的同時,父母與孩子間平等的信念也對美國家庭產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。 漢譯英 孝道(filial piety)是中國古代社會的基本道德規(guī)范(code of ethics)。中國人把孝視為人格之本、家庭和睦之本、國家安康之本。由于孝道是儒家倫理思想的核心,它成了中國社會千百年來維系家庭關系的道德準則。它毫無疑問是中華民族的一種傳統(tǒng)美德。孝道文化是一個復合概念,內(nèi)容豐富,涉及面廣。它既有文化理念,又有制度禮儀(institutional etiquette)。一般來說,它指社會要求子女對父母應盡的義務,包括尊敬、關愛、贍養(yǎng)老人等等。孝道是古老的"東方文明"之根本。 Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a persons integrity, family harmony, and the nations well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. Its undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range. It includes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient "Oriental civilization".Unit 3 Section Bl Language Focus Words in Use 1.After his speech, the audience wondered if his good intentions would become realities or whether they would be just (hollow) promises.2.Although every child is different, its common for children at this age to get a little argumentative, (restless) and moody.3.It is by participating in these activities that students can (demonstrate) their special talents, their level of maturity and responsibility, and their leadership qualities.4.According to what we heard, she was (exiled) from her country three years ago because of her involvement in the plot against the government.5.If you continue to feel lonely and (miserable) , you might consider coming to talk to someone at the University Counseling Service.6.Urban critics argue that people living in the cities really enjoy all the cultural, educational, and (commercial) advantages that are available to them.7.He was a reserved man, so he usually (hesitated) before he spoke, as if he were not sure how his words would be received or remarked.8.The miners strike in July showed how quickly workers discontent can (erupt) and how efficiently they can take organized action.9.His first-year learning experiences allowed him to reflect and (refine) his learning methods and schedules and to go deeper in many ways.10.It is not economically (feasible) to design buildings in Birstol to withstand a large earthquake as the chances of an earthquake are very small there. l Language Focus Expressions in Use 1.Reasons for changing careers are different in nature, but many people move because they (are tired of) their current jobs and just want a change.2.Just as it is easier to go downhill than to climb uphill, it is always easy to (fall into) bad habits unless people have a very strong will.3.University students must (be strict with) themselves; otherwise, they will never complete their studies and get a bachelors degree within four years.4.People used to think the development of electronics may (not amount to much) , but now more and more letters and documents travel electronically.5.He was sick and got a bad headache yesterday.
