文艺复兴是一场影响巨大的文化运动。它在现代欧洲史的 开端时期开创了一个科学革命和艺术变革时代。它始于意 大利,之后蔓延到欧洲其他国家。它紧接在中世纪之后, 贯穿14至17世纪。文艺复兴时期的特点是,人们对古希 腊和古罗马时期的古典知识、智慧和价值观重新焕发了兴 趣。文艺复兴时期的学者在学术中采用人文方法,在艺术 上追寻现实主义和人类情感。科学家们不再一味地接受教 堂传播的说教。相反,他们通过观察和实验来研究自然世 界。同样,艺术家们将数学和光学运用到绘画、雕塑及其 他艺术形式中,从而发展出新技术,并取得了更高水平的 艺术效果。文艺复兴深刻地改变了现代早期的欧洲知识 界。它通过对古代文献的重新发现,触发了古典知识和整 个欧洲文化的重生。文学、哲学、艺术、政治、科学及其 他许多领域都能感受到它的影响。
Text A:Translation: Task 2
Chinese civilization once had a significant influence on world civilization. With the development of our country's economy and the rise of her international status in recent years, Chinese culture, which has a long history, is once again attracting global attention. More and more Chinese cultural elements provide inspiration for and become popular subjects of fashions, literature and movies around the world. This shows that the world needs Chinese culture. It was in this context that China decided to implement the "Culture Exporting" strategy so as to enhance her cultural exchanges with the rest of the world. After several years' efforts, great achievements have been made in this respect. "Culture Exporting" has greatly promoted the development of our cultural industries. It is becoming an effective approach through which China enhances her national image and comprehensive strength.
