题目解答

答案

Confucius was a great thinker and educator in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He is the founder of Confucianism and is honored as the "sage" of ancient times. The Confucian thought, developed from his teachings, is the most influential school of thought in Chinese history. It was endorsed and utilized by feudal rulers of successive dynasties, becoming the ideology that influenced the entire feudal society. Confucius's sayings and life activities were recorded by his disciples in The Analects. The Analects is a classic work of Chinese culture and has had a profound influence on thinkers, writers, and politicians of later generations. （注：本题为开放性翻译，只要语义准确、结构合理即可。例如，“被尊称为”也可用“be revered as”，“被……推崇利用”可为“be promoted and exploited by...”，“经典著作”可为“masterpiece”等。）

  • “孔子是春秋时期鲁国伟大的思想家和教育家，是儒家学派的创始人，被尊称为古代的‘圣人’”：

    • 整句翻译为“Confucius was a great thinker and educator in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He is the founder of Confucianism and is honored as the'sage' of ancient times.”
  • “根据其学说发展起来的儒家思想是中国历史上影响最大的思想流派，被汉代及以后的历代封建统治者所推崇利用，成为影响整个封建社会的意识形态”：

    • 整句翻译为“The Confucian thought, developed from his teachings, is the most influential school of thought in Chinese history. It was endorsed and utilized by feudal rulers of successive dynasties, becoming the ideology that influenced the entire feudal society.”
