The outstanding feature of the Expo Forum has always been its

the Expo. Over the past few years, its topics have included cultural fusion,
economic development and interpretation of the theme. According to our

关于武术

中华民族传统文化的瑰宝：
a gem of Chinese traditional culture
推广武术运动：
popularize wushu
奥运表演项目：
Olympic demonstration event
武术的 蓬勃发展，
除得益于其项目本身的吸引力之外，
早期移居海外
的一代武术大师功不可没 。

The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the
sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.
老一代武术家在海外播种下了武术的种子，
使武术这门既可以自卫又
可 以健身的运动很快就在新的土地上扎下了根。
今天高超的武术大师
已遍布世界各地，武术爱好者 也与日俱增。

Martial artists of the older generations have sown wushu seeds in foreign
countries. Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep
practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands. Today
superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on
the increase with each passing day.

关于京剧

各类传统戏剧总数达< br>300
种左右，有些全国知名，

剧、粤剧，其中最受欢迎的京 剧已有
200
多年的历史了。
Traditional
Chinese operas total about 300 in variety, with some of them enjoying


national fame, such as the Peking Opera, the Pingju Opera, the Shaoxing
Opera and Guandong Opera, among which Peking Opeara, with a history
of over 200 years, is the most popular.


中国传统戏剧在其长期的形成和发展过程 中借鉴了音乐、
舞蹈、
诗歌、
美术、杂技、武术等艺术形式，最后发展成以戏剧情节表 演为主导的
一种兼收并蓄而又独立的艺术形式。

During a long process of formulation and development, traditional
Chinese operas have kept borrowing elements from music, dance poetry,
and ci ( a poetic genre), paintings, acrobatics and martial arts, and finally
developed into an inclusive and independent art form dominated by
drama story performance.

老生
”

。品貌或性格特异的男子称
“

“
花脸
”
。诙谐、幽默、机智的男子称

。

In Beijing opera, there are four roles: sheng, dan, jing and chou. The
sheng (male role) is divided into lao sheng and xiao sheng: The former is
a mature, middle-aged man, while the latter portrays a young man. The
dan (female role) is divided into qing yi(respectable and decent ladies),
wu dan(military or non-military women capable of martial arts), and hua


dan(lively and clever young girls). The jing (painted-face role) means all
kinds of painted-faces and acts as the male role that has a peculiar
personality or appearance. The chou (comic face which means clown)
always acts as a witty and funny folk chivalrous man.

关于饮食
< br>像中国这样幅员辽阔、
历史悠久而又复杂的国家，
千百年来必然会形
成具有鲜明 地方烹饪特色的区域性菜系或帮菜。
这种不可避免的差异
是由地理位置、气候条件、交通状况、
人口迁移、海外文化影响等因
素所决定的。

With a territory as large and a history as long and complex as China’s, it
is inevitable that distinct regional differences in cuisine have evolved
over the course of centuries. Numerous factors are involved in this
inevitable distinction: geography, climate, transportation, migration,
influence from overseas culture, etc.


评判中餐烹调的优劣可依据中餐的三大要素，即
“
色 、香、味
”
。


The three essential factors, or key elements, by which Chinese cooking is
judged are known as “color, aroma and taste”






关于中医

6000
年前的神农氏时代。中医学在

in
China,
originated
with
Shennong
，
the
celebrated
herbal
medicine
master of ancient China who lived about 6,000 years ago. During its long
process
of
evolution,
the
TCM
science
has

medical principles and concepts. TCM believes that “nothing compares to
a human life”.

以及人体各部位之间的种种关 系来诊断
病人的疾病。

1.
当前，国际金 融危机仍在蔓延和深化，对全球实体经济的冲击日益
显现，世界经济金融形势依然复杂严峻，不少国家经 济陷入衰退、社
会稳定面临巨大挑战。

The international financial crisis, however, is still spreading and
deepening, and its impact on the global real economy is becoming more
and more evident. The world economic and financial situation remains
complex and grave. Quite a number of countries have slid into economic
recession and are confronted with severe challenges in maintaining social
stability.


2
．这场国际金融危机 是在经济全球化深入发展、国与国相互依存日
益紧密的大背景下发生的，
任何国家都不可能独善 其身，
合作应对是
正确抉择。

The international financial crisis is taking place at a time when economic
globalization is gaining momentum and countries are becoming more and
more interdependent. No country can stay immune from the crisis, and
the only right choice is for all of us to work together and deal with it.

3.

济金融危机的重 要有效平台。

The G20, with its broad representation, offers an important and effective
platform for concerted international efforts to counter the international
economic and financial crisis.

4.
近来，贸易保护主义和其他形式的保 护主义明显抬头，这不符合
我们在华盛顿峰会上达成的反对保护主义、避免政策内顾的共识。

Recently, trade protectionism as well as other forms of protectionism
have notably increased. This goes against the consensus we reached at the
Washington Summit on rejecting protectionism and refraining from
turning inward in our policies.
