我們應該尊重和維護世界文明的多樣性。各國文明的多樣性，是人類社會的基本特徵，也是推動世界文明進步的重要動力。當今世界擁有60億人口，200多個國家和地區，2500多個民族，5000多種語言。各個國家和地區，無論是歷史傳統、宗教信仰和文化背景，還是社會制度、價值觀念和發展程度，往往存在這樣那樣的差異，整個人類文明也因此而交相輝映、多姿多彩。
We should respect and maintain the diversity of the world's civilizations. The diverse civilizations are a hallmark of human society and an important driving force behind human progress. Our world today has over 6 billion inhabitants living in more than 200 countries and regions. They break down into over 2,500 ethnic groups and speak more than 5,000 different languages. Be it historical tradition, faith and culture, or social system, values and level of development, those countries or regions are often different from one another. It is these differences that make our planet dazzling, colorful and bustling with life.
這種文明的多樣性是在歷史長河中形成的，並將長期存在下去。中國古代思想家孔子曾說過，“萬物並育而不相害，道並行而不相悖”。我們應該充分尊重各國文明的多樣性，而不應人為歧視或貶低他國文明;應該鼓勵各種文明在對話交流中相互借鑑、取長補短，而不應相互隔絕和相互排斥;應該倡導各種文明在相互包容、求同存異中共同發展，而不應強求一 律、強加於人。
Such diversity is a legacy of history and will stay with us into the future. The ancient Chinese thinker Confucius once said, "All living creatures grow together without harming one another; ways run parallel without interfering with one another." Instead of harboring bias against or deliberately belittling other civilizations, we should give full respect to the diversity of civilizations. Instead of shutting each other out in mutual exclusion, we should encourage dialog and exchange between civilizations so that they can learn from each other in mutual emulation. Instead of demanding uniformity and imposing one's will on others, we should promote common development of all civilizations in the course of mutual tolerance and seeking agreement while shelving differences.

魯菜通常較鹹，汁色普遍較淺。魯菜注重選料，精於刀工，善於炊技。作為我國北方菜系的代表，魯菜烹飪技術廣泛用於明清兩代的宮廷菜。川菜選料範圍大，調味及炊技變化多樣。據統計，川菜的品種在五千種以上。川菜最大的特點是口味重，以麻辣著稱。
Shandong cuisine is generally salty, with a prevalence of light-colored sauces. The dishes feature choice of materials, adept technique in slicing and perfect cooking skills. Shandong cuisine is representative of northern China's cooking and its technique has been widely absorbed by the imperial dishes of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties. Sichuan cuisine features a wide range of materials, various seasonings and different cooking techniques. Statistics show that the number of Sichuan dishes has surpassed 5,000. With a rich variety of strong flavors, Sichuan food is famous for its numerous varieties of delicacies, dominated by peppery and chili flavors and best known for being spicy-hot.
最難歸類的粵菜強調輕炒淺煮，選料似乎不受限制。粵菜源於明清，在發展過程中不僅吸收借鑑了中國北方烹調和西餐烹調的精華，同時也保持了自己的傳統特色。揚州菜以江蘇省境內的揚州、南京、蘇州等地的地方菜式為基礎之大成。揚州菜注重選料的原汁原味，在菜的裝飾上講究形態的藝術性和顏色的鮮豔性，揚州菜實際上糅合了南北菜系之精華。也有人以八個字來歸納這四大菜系的口味特點，即“南淡北鹹，東甜西辣”。
Cantonese cuisine, the hardest to categorize, emphasizes light cooking with seemingly limitless range of ingredients. Cantonese cuisine took shape in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the process of its development, it has borrowed the culinary essence of northern China and of the Western-style food, while maintaining its traditional local flavor. Yangzhou cuisine bases itself largely on the three local cooking styles of Yangzhou, Nanjing and Suzhou, all within Jiangsu Province. While emphasizing the original flavors of well-chosen materials, it features carefully selected ingredients, also, the artistic shape and bright colors of the dishes and more ornamental value. Yangzhou cuisine is essentially a combination of the best elements of northern and southern cooking. According to some others, the characteristic flavors of China’s four major cuisines can be summed up in the following expression: “The light southern (Canton) cuisine, and the salty northern (Shangdong) cuisine; the sweet eastern (Yangzhou) cuisine, and the spicy western (Sichuan) cuisine.”

中國人認為，太極是天地萬物之根源。太極分為陰陽二氣，陰陽二氣產生木、火、土、金、水這五行。五行代表或作用於人體器官，即火對心，木對肝，土對脾胃，金對肺，水對。腎。陰陽化合而生萬物，太極則代表了陰陽調和。長期以來，世界只知道中國有指南針、火藥、造紙和活字印刷四大發明。
We Chinese believe that taiji is the origin of all lives on Earth. Taiji comprises yin and yang, two types of vital energy. The five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water derive from yin and yang. These five elements correspond to, or affect, particular human organs. That is, the element of the fire corresponds to the heart, the wood to the liver, the earth to the spleen and the stomach, the metal to the lung and the water to the kidney. The combination of yin and yang gives birth to all lives on Earth. Taiji represents the harmonious state of balance between yin and yang. For a long time, the rest of the world was only aware of China's four major inventions: the compass, gunpowder, paper-making and movable-type printing.
幾乎很少有人知道中國已發現了經絡的存在。經絡是指人體內血氣執行通路的主幹與分支網路，針刺穴位 散佈其間。北京經絡研究中心通過現代科學方法，已經證實了經絡的.存在。經絡的發現無疑 是為《易經》和《黃帝內經》的理論提供了強有力的佐證。
Very few know about China's discovery of jingluo that exists in a human body. Jingluo is a system of internal main and collateral channels, regarded as a network of energy passages, along which acupuncture points are distributed. The existence of jingluo has been proved by using modern scientific methods at the Beijing Jingluo Research Center. The discovery of the existence of jingluo provides a strong support for the theories advanced in The Book of Changes and Huang Di's Classic of Internal Medicine.

中國人民自古以來的哲學思想就是“和為貴”、“和而不同”，我們歷來主張中美兩國文明雖有不同，卻不相斥;雖有差異，卻能交融。作為世界上有重要影響的大國，中美應該相互尊重、相互學習、求同存異、取長補短，為不同國家、不同文明之間和諧共存、進行建設性合作樹立榜樣，為實現人類的共同發展作出貢獻。
Since ancient times, China's prevailing philosophy has been one that preaches "peace is most precious" and "harmony without uniformity." We always believe that though the Chinese and U. S. civilizations are different, they can easily get along with each other instead of repelling each other. As major countries of global influence, China and the United States should respect and learn from each other, seek common ground while shelving differences, and complement each other with respective strengths. In so doing, we can set a good example for different countries and civilizations to live side by side harmoniously and engage in constructive cooperation, making a contribution to the common development of humanity.
去年8月，美國波士頓斯諾敦公立高中的9名學生來到中國，到河北和北京與中國學生開展了為期半個月的“美中城市學生看中國”活動。活動中，兩國學生克服語言和文化障礙，超越習俗和偏見，通過溝通和互動，結下了深厚的友誼。美國學生學會了唱中國歌曲《茉莉花》、畫中國山水畫。“我們喜歡中國!”是他們由衷的心聲。中國學生練就了標準的美式發音，還學會了跳美國街舞。依依惜別之時，兩國學生彼此承諾：努力學習，健康成長，未來再相會。
Last August, nine U.S. students from Snowden National School in Boston joined Chinese students in Hebei and Beijing in a 15-day program entitled “U. S. and Chinese City Students View China.” During the program, the students overcame language and cultural barriers, rose above perhaps one-sided views, and forged deep friendship through communication and interaction. The U.S. students learnt to sing the Chinese song “Jasmine” and paint landscape with Chinese brushes. “We like China.” These are words from the bottom of their hearts. The Chinese students learnt quite standard American English pronunciation and the American hip-hop. When it came to the time of parting, the students promised to each other that they would study hard, keep fit and meet again in the future.

歐洲是交響樂之鄉，也是歌劇之鄉，是許多傑出作曲家的搖籃。中國也有歌劇，那就是京劇。京劇起源於200年前清朝時期的北京。京劇是一種集歌劇表演、歌唱、音樂、舞蹈和武術於一體的表演藝術。我們的服裝展覽會將展示這個“東方歌劇”歷時200年的發展史，以及源自清朝後期的舞臺服飾。
Europe is the home to symphonic music and also home to opera. It has been a cradle of many brilliant music composers. China has opera, too. That's Peking Opera, which originated from Beijing some 200 years ago during the Qing Dynasty. It's a performing art that embraces opera performance, singing, music, dancing and martial arts. The costume exposition will present 200 years of development of this "Oriental Opera" and the performance costumes dating to the late Qing Dynasty.
服飾設計採用了誇張性和象徵性的手法，色彩明亮鮮豔，用料獨特，裁剪別緻。另一場展覽將展出600套服飾，其中有秦漢以來不同朝代的古裝，有我國少數民族服裝，也有現代服飾。我國的名模將登臺表演，展示我國服裝業和服裝設計師的成就。
The costume design adopted exaggeration and symbolic means and bright colors. The materials are unique, so are the tailoring skills. Another exhibition will display a total of 600 sets of clothes, including the ancient clothes of different dynasties from the Qin and Han, the costumes of China's ethnic groups, and modern garments and accessories. Famous models from China will participate to present the achievements of the Chinese garment industry and Chinese designers.

上海博物館新館建築總面積38000平方米，由地下兩層、地上5層構成，建築高度29.5米。這座壯觀的新館將方體基座和巨型圓頂及4個拱形出挑結合起來，象徵著傳統文 化與時代精神的完美融合。從高處俯瞰，上海博物館的玻璃圓頂猶如一面碩大的漢代銅鏡。 從遠處眺望，新館建築猶如一尊青銅古鼎，默默承載著 5 000 年曆史和文明的重荷。
The new site of the Shanghai Museum has a construction space of 38,000 square meters with two floors underground and five floors above the ground with a height of 29.5 meters. This grand new building, structured with a square base and a circular top with four arch-shaped handles erected on it, symbolizes the perfect fusion of China's traditional culture and the spirit of modern times. When viewed from above, the circular top with a glass dome in the center looks like a huge bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty. When viewed at a distance, the whole building resembles an ancient bronze ding tripod, shouldering in silence the heavy weight of the five-thousand-year Chinese history and civilization.
上海博物館南面大門的兩側，聳立著 8 尊漢白玉雕塑。這是從 300 多件漢、唐雕塑文物 中遴選出 8 件作品加以仿製放大，每件高近 3 米，重約 20 噸，極具莊嚴雄渾之氣。傳統文 化與現代風格的完美結合，在室內裝飾上也得以充分體現。
The southern entrance of the Shanghai Museum is flanked by eight dignified mighty animals in white-marble sculpture, each with a height of close to three meters and a weight of about twenty tons. These eight sculptures were modeled and magnified after the prototypes carefully selected from over 300 stone and bronze sculpture relics of the Han, Northern and Southern, Sui and Tang Dynasties collected in the museum. The museum's perfect combination of traditional culture and modern architectural style is also fully captured by the interior decoration of the museum.
