　　The Chinese dream has been enriched by thousands of years of Chinese culture and inspired among other things by the past three decades of reform and opening-up. The most noticeable features of the Chinese dream include inclusiveness and win-win cooperation. These are the very features that will enable the Chinese dream to expand its global reach and be recognized by people of other nations. The Chinese dream is the dream of national rejuvenation. It is the dream of building a powerful and prosperous state, a dream of bringing happiness in the lives of the Chinese people. It entails sustaining steady and healthy economic growth, scientifically managing the Chinese society, and effectively responding to the risks and challenges of external development.

　　最近，一些地方大學開始將方言列為某些學生的必修課程，學生們要學習當地方言，然后被評分以作為畢業的依據之一。一方面，支持此種做法的人認為，將方言列為必修課可防止其消失，從而使當地傳統文化和文化多樣性得以弘揚，同時城市獨特的個性得以保留。另一方面，反對此種做法的人爭論說，當地學生與外地學生相比有很多絕對優勢，因此將方言列為必修課會引起教育不公平的問題。而且，將方言列為必修課程還會引起一些其他問題，如教材使用、師資問題和考試標準等。在我看來，方言作為傳統文化不可缺少的一部分和一種交流工具，可以讓學生自愿學習和使用，而不是強制完成。

　　譯文內容

　　Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate. On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved simultaneously. On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places. Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards. As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily.

　　隨著中國經濟迅速發展到新的高度，中國目前已經進入了大規模消費時代，中國民眾的購買力隨著中國市場經濟的發展而迅速增長。因此，那些追求物質生活的人們只要有購買力，就不可避免地會購買奢侈品。一項報告顯示，中國的奢侈品消費總額占全球市場份額的四分之一，且位居世界第二，僅次于日本。然而，從消費觀念方面來講，很多中國的消費者還處在“炫耀性消費”的階段，這是一種不健康的狀態。奢侈品不應該是炫耀的手段，或者是與權力、財富和社會關系相關的標志。

　　譯文內容

　　As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.
