S
：
Now that you have learned Kung fu for a few months, what are your general
impression of it?


你学习中国功夫已经几个月了
,
有什么印象
?


H
：
I think, maybe, it takes a real Kung fu master to give a more fair assessment;
meanwhile, I am no more than a beginner. But I really doubt whether kung fu
would be of any great help when it comes to defending oneself in real life.


也许真正的功夫大师才能给出一个公正的评价吧
.
我可只是个初学者。我怀疑
,
在现实生
活中
,
功夫的防身 作用并没多大。



S
：
You mean, kung fu may not be so powerful as it is imagined? To some extent
your idea holds water. Kung fu was originally intended for self-defense, but with
time it became something more than defense skills. Now we are apt to treat it as an
art.


你是说
,
功夫不像想象中那么厉害
?
可以这么 说吧
.
功夫本来是用来防身的
,
但是随着时间
的推移
,他可就不仅仅是打斗技术了
.
如今我们更爱把它看成一门艺术
.



H
：
An art! You have a good point there. So it is called martial arts in English. The
Chinese are really capable of doing things nicely. They even made fighting a great
enjoyment, so marvelous and fascinating.


艺术
!
对
!
说得好
!
在英语 里
,
确实也是叫做”martial arts”.中国人做起事来就爱这样
,
会
把事情弄得很漂亮
,
连打架都这么有趣
,
迷人
.


S
：
Thanks for your compliment! Perhaps the Chinese culture as a whole has a
special inclination towards aesthetics. Do you know Jin Yong?


谢谢夸奖
!
大 概整个中国文化都比较注重一种审美效果吧
.
你知道金庸吗
?


H
：
I know he is a martial arts fiction writer. But I've read none of his novels.


我知道他是位武侠小说作家
,
只是还没读过他的作品
.


S
：
All of his works have been translated into English. I recommend you to read
one or two works of his. You'll get a general glimpse into Chinese kung fu culture.
When you go through the pages, you are likely to feel they are not about kung fu
alone, but cover all walks of life .


他的所有作品已经有英文版了
.你最好读它一两部
,
那样就会对中国功夫有一个大体印象
.
当你读他的作 品时
,
很可能会感觉到
,
金庸不是仅仅在写怎么打架
,
而是 包罗了生活的方方面
面
.


H
：
I see. They must have incorporated a series of Chinese cultural elements.



我明白了
.
这些小说想必包容了一系列中国文化元素
.


S
：
Yes, take philosophy, for instance. What makes a true, respectable da xia, or
a worrior hero? It's not enough only to be formidable . It also involves a man's
character, sense of justice, and values of life.


对
,
比如哲学
.
怎样做一位真正 的
,
受人景仰的大侠
?
单靠功夫高强可不够
,
还需要在性格
,
正义感
,
价值观等许多方面有一定境界
?


H
：
So kung fu is also a means of self- cultivation, isn't it?


这么说来
,
功夫还是提高自我修养的一大途径了
?


S
：
Indeed, you're exactly right!


说得对
!
