1．现代化的交通与传播手段使世界变得越来越小，整个国际社会好似一个巨大的世界村。有着不同文化背景的世界村的村民们在文化交流和文化冲撞中和睦相处。

Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller and smaller. And the whole world community appears to be no

more than a large global village, where the residents come together with different cultural backgrounds and values. While experiencing the inevitable cultural exchanges as well as cultural clashes, the “villagers” seek to live in harmony.

2．当代社会的任何一个民族，其先进文化不是孤立的现象，而是与其他民族的文化进行广泛交流的产物。

In this modern world, the advanced culture of any nation has never been an isolated phenomenon, but the product of extensive exchanges with other cultures.

3．当然，任何一个民族的文化，其根基与主流必须具有这个民族的鲜明特征。

Of course, the root and the main current of any culture must bear its own distinctive national features.

4．文化交流不是让外国文化吞没自己的文化，而是为了丰富和充实本民族的文化。

Culture exchange is by no means a process of losing one’s own culture to a foreign culture, but to enrich a nation’s own culture.

5．通过文化交流，不同的文化可以相互学习，相互影响。

Through culture exchange, different cultures can absorb and influence each other.

6．在文化领域里，相互影响是一种非常复杂的现象。

In cultural field, Mutual influence is a very complicated phenomenon.

7．打个比喻，吸取外国文化是一个入口、咀嚼和消化的过程。

Therefore, absorbing foreign culture is metaphorically a process of taking a bite, chewing and ingesting.

8．我们应该采取去伪存真、去粗取精、多出优进、抵御腐蚀的原则。

We should adopt the principle of eliminating the false and retaining the true, discarding the dross and selecting the essential, exporting more and importing the best, and resisting corruptive influences.

9．我不认为各种文化的不同特点和风格会因此而消失，相反，不同的文化可以取长补短，互为补充。

I don’t believe that such a practice will result in the disappearance of the particular features and styles pertaining to particular cultures. On the contrary, different cultures can learn from each other’s strengths and offset their own weakness and complement one another.

10．事实上，随着中国经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高，中国人民的视野开阔了，艺术鉴赏力也起了变化。
