1. Modern means of transportation, telecommunication and mass media have

shortened the geographical distance of the world. The international community appears to be no more than a global village, in which peoples of all nations experience the inevitable cultural exchanges and clashes, while seeking common development in a harmonious and respectful relationship.

现代化交通设备、无线电通讯和大众传播媒体已经缩短了世界各地间的距离。国际社会似乎只是一个地球村。在这个地球村里，为了在和睦相处互相尊重的关系中谋求共同发展，各国人民遭遇着不可避免的文化交流和冲突。{flash俗语谚语}.

2. I'm with the view that in this modern world, the culture of any nation cannot develop in isolation. And I believe that different cultures should learn from each other's strengths to offset their own weaknesses. Of course, the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures. Cultural exchange, I think, is by no means a process of losing one's own culture to a foreign culture, but a process of enriching each other's national cultures.

我赞同这类的看法：当今的民族文化不可能在自我封闭的状态下得以发展。在我看来，不同的文化应该互相学习，取长补短。当然，一个民族的文化，在和其他民族文化广泛交流时，必须保持本族文化鲜明的特色。我认为，文化交流绝不是一个以损失自身文化为代价去接纳外国文化的过程，而是一个互相丰富各民族文化的过程。
