晨读小练11：必修一 Unit 5 Reading and Thinking课文翻译及语法填空 THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM: CONNECTING THE PAST AND THE PRESENT 汉语书写体系：连接古今 Paragraph 1 China is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system. 尽管历史跌宕起伏，中国因其古老文明一直延续至今而闻名于世。其存续的原因有很多，但主要因素之一是中国书写体系。 【重点必背】 高中英语晨读小练素材 Every minute counts. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 civilisation n. 文明；文明世界 ups and downs浮沉；兴衰；荣辱 factor n. 因素；要素 writing system—— 书写体系 【课文佳句】There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.（why引导定语从句） 这之所以成为可能有很多原因，其中一个主要因素就是中国书写体系。 Paragraph 2 At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu---animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today's hanzi. 起初，汉语是一种基于图形的语言。它可以追溯到数千年前使用龙骨的时期——古代中国人在这些骨头和壳上面刻画简单的符号。这些符号在今天的汉字中仍然可以看到。 【重点必背】 date back追溯到 longgu—— 龙骨（甲骨文） carve vt.&vi. 雕刻 Paragraph 3 By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically leading to many varieties of dialects and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE). 到商朝（约公元前1600年—前1046年）时，这些符号已经演变成一套完善的书写体系。在随后的年代里，这一体系发展成了不同的形式，这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔，从而导致不同的方言和汉字变体的产生。然而，这在秦朝（公元前221—前207年）秦始皇统治时期发生了变化。 【重点必背】 dynasty n. 王朝；朝代 it was a time when这是一个……的时期 lead to导致 dialect n. 地方话；方言 character n. 文字；符号；角色；品质；特点 【课文佳句】 Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically leading to many varieties of dialects and characters.（It was a time when...；现在分词作结果状语） 多年来，人们按地域划分，使得书写体系发展成了不同的形式，从而导致多种方言和汉字的形成。 Paragraph 4 Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing. 秦始皇统一七个诸侯国后，在这个统一的国家里，汉字书写体系开始朝着一个方向发展。这一书写体系对于团结中国人民和中国文化具有重要意义。即使在今天，不管住在哪里，也不管说何种方言，中国人都仍能通过书写（文字）进行交流。 【重点必背】 unite vt.统一；联合 was of great importance（be of＋抽象名词）—— 具有重要意义 no matter where / what无论在哪里 / 无论什么 【课文佳句】That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture.（be of＋抽象名词）这一书写体系对于团结中国人民和中国文化具有重要意义。 Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.（no matter＋疑问词引导让步状语从句） 即使在今天，不论住在哪里，也不论说何种方言，中国人仍能通过书写（文字）进行交流。 Paragraph 5 Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China's present is connected with its past. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times. The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture. 汉语也成为连接中国现在与过去的一个重要媒介。现代中国人可以阅读古代中国人撰写的经典作品。中国人对其书写体系推崇备至，这体现在汉字发展为一种艺术形式——书法。书法已经成为中国文化的重要组成部分。 【重点必背】 means n. 方式；方法；途径 classic adj. 传统的；最优秀的；典型的 n. 经典作品；名著 calligraphy n. 书法；书法艺术 Paragraph 6 Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture.
