More than 10 years ago, I asked a Chinese English language and senior professionals in international communication. Dragon in the East and the English context was obviously two species.(Fate), Guanxi (Relationship) and other vocabulary are the same as the English dictionary.I seemed to see such a proposal at that time, and the basis of the translation at that time did not have today, "It looks like a dragon", "Two letters 'o' are like the two eyes of the dragon".And just refer to the surname of Song Chuyu, a Taiwanese politician who was in the newspaper at the time, can be translated into Soong.
This professionals explained kindly and patiently for the blood gas at that time. Although Dragon is different from Chinese dragons, the vocabulary has entered the English context for a long time.In order to highlight the particularity of the Chinese dragon, it is possible to achieve the effect of the proposal's imagination. It is likely that it will not be popular. Instead, it will make semantics confusion and create unnecessary confusion and confusion.In short: unnecessary.
Who ever thought that the wheels of history have rolled forward more than ten spring and autumn. At the beginning of the first year of the year of the 21st century, Dragon and Loong's controversy actually saw the newspaper. In the eyes of professionals more than 10 years agoThe necessary actions are now under the patrioticism of Chinese and become a major case.
More than 10 years ago, the Chinese were not indifferent or alienated about the concept of patriotism. After more than 100 years of influence and practice, "patriotism" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and is a positive concept of preface justice.The old theory of Dragon and Loong, from the tofu blocks that are not shocked in newspapers to the major discussions that occupy the prominent positions in large and small media in China and outside, the background color is the time to change the world.In the future, if the editor of Chinese history books inspects this period, it is likely to focus on the process and phenomenon of such a "patriotic" to vulgarize, and record this as a clear feeling at that time.
In China during this period, there are those who are not pleasing to the eye with "patriotism" as a weapon.Specific brand technology products are given exclusive and single national identity. Technical discussions have to be interrupted by a big hat in a big hat in the "buttocks".After the public intellectuals were destroyed as a identity, the Anti -Public Knowing camp began to point each other after without the "common enemy".
During this period, there are those who use "patriotism" as a pedal for personal renowned degree.Some people use a magnifying glass or even a microscope to break the righteousness everywhere, and the one -sided intercepted image sounds the "humiliation" alert, shaped itself as the pioneer of the Wei Guo, and harvested the large number of cheers and monetable traffic.
During this period, there are people who use "patriotism" as a signature."Patriotic" has become the added value of commercial business.Link window.
During this period, there are "patriotism" as a tool to deceive or coax.Artificial intelligence (AI) face -changing technology and beauty technology are used to shape fake foreigners and deceive the audience with "praise of foreigners".Or is it really foreigner. As long as it is full of infinite praise to the country, the people of the local people are full of hearts and generous monetary traffic.
During this period, there are those who talk about the strange discussion with "patriotism" as the strange discussion.It is impossible to come up with various conspiracy theories that are out of line, revenge, and derogation. The "Western Pseudo -History Theory" has entered the room again. The latter cannot form a closed loop except for hard evidence.Essence
During this period, there are people who use "patriotism" as a thick cloth.The achievements of the external world have been reduced, failure is amplified, and external experience is almost worthless.The external world has achieved achievements in the fields of interstellar exploration, AI, etc., and the internal public opinion field is ridiculed by the launch of the star arrows that everyone likes to see more and the weird painting of Sora.
During this period, there are those who use "patriotism" as a mold to measure all the skulls in the world.The eyes are too small, the shoes are stepped on the pottery, covering one eye, wearing specific types of clothing in public, not as expected performance events ...
Be wary of "pseudo -love" like a pseudo -gentleman
Once I drove on a slow road due to traffic congestion. There were many cars related to Chinese patriotic themes on the rear of a car in front of a car.Bad cigarettes, spit, throw cigarette butt, and eventually throw a empty cigarette case.
"Patriotic" is not the first to encounter vulgaristic ideology.Ancient China, who worshiped the saints and demanded that the general public existence the human desire, the noble virtue of gentlemen in the dogma was regarded as the bottom line of ordinary scholars, the year, monthly, monthly, and daily lectures, but these Provey readers -or even in historyThe real gentleman himself -most of them do not reach these high standards of these gods. In order to accommodate the world, they choose to say one set and become a "pseudo -gentleman" that people often say.
In general, patriotism and the behavior covered by their patriotism are lofty. It is manifested in condensing the internal consensus when the community of imagination encounters external challenges, and when the enemy is violatedMost manifestations are inner self -introspection, full of goodwill to compatriots, persisted in continuous understanding, pointed out and correction of internal injustice, and strived to improve their imagination together, making people's lives more and more comfortable.
Patriotism is also the same as the internal saints in ancient times. It is a lofty and internalized spiritual consciousness. Its best way to storage is to implicit and melt in mental blood.Instead, it is in the "body" to guide the completion of the body's survival and operation.Its vulgarization is manifested in the mouth, everyone talks, talks every day, and everyone walks through the scene every day.The "pseudo -love kingdom".
If a government takes the national dignity and provides opportunities for economic success as the main legitimacy pillar, when the economy is cold, it is bound to pay more attention to the pillar of national dignity.But after all, you cannot drink thirst, letting you go, or even encourage the vulgarization of patriotism, which will make the lofty spiritual wealth of patriotism into material, monetable (that can also be given up).Self -improvement is not conducive to the healthy development of the country, the whole country as a whole, and the healthy development of each national.Let the patriotic return to lofty, return to the spirit, return to internalization, and return to themselves, is the benign path of patriotism.
