问题 The Chinese, from the highest to the lowest, have an imperturbable quiet dignity, which is usually not destroyed even by a European education. They are not self-assertive, either individually or nationally; their pride is too profound for self-assertion. They admit China’s military weakness in comparison with foreign Powers, but they do not consider homicide the most important quality in a man or a nation. I think that, at bottom, they almost all believe that China is the greatest nation in the world, and has the finest civilization. A Westerner cannot be expected to accept this view, because it is based on traditions utterly different from his own. But gradually one comes to feel that it is, at any rate, not an absurd view; that it is, in fact, the logical outcome of a self-consistent standard of values. The typical Westerner wishes to be the cause of as many changes as possible in this environment, the typical Chinaman wished to enjoy as much and as delicately as possible. This difference is at the bottom of most of the contrast between China and the English-speaking world.(35 points)
选项
答案 中国人，上至达官显贵，下至黎民百姓，都有一种泰然自若的尊严，即使是欧洲教育也无法把这种态度抹杀殆尽。中国人不论是个人还是整个民族都是谦虚谨慎的，他们的自豪深深地扎根于他们的自信之中。他们承认与外国列强相比自己在军事上的落后，但他们并不认为屠杀是一个人或一个国家最重要的品质。我认为，实际上，他们所有人都认为中国是世界上最伟大的国家，拥有最优秀的文明。西方人却无法接受，因为这是基于与自己的历史有千差万别的传统认识。但西方人逐渐地认识到，不管怎样，这并不是一种荒谬的观点，而事实上是价值观的自我延续。典型的西方人希望能在环境中引起尽可能多的变化，而典型的中国人希望可以尽情地享受别致的生活。这方面性格的差异是导致中国和西方国家差异的根本所在。
