程度副詞

If you look at the chart at the top here,

根據高盛 (Goldman Sachs) 的預測，

will be almost the same size as the American economy.

will be twice the size of the American economy,

and the Indian economy will be almost the same size

都是在西方金融危機之前制定的。

it will have the largest economy in the world.

而從來沒有任何一個發展中國家

which I think is what China will become --

and from very, very different civilizational roots.

而是來自一個非常不一樣的文明根柢。

Now, I know it's a widespread assumption in the West

我知道西方國家普遍有這樣的假設:

這樣的假設是簡單的將現代化看做

is a product simply of competition, markets and technology.

是由競爭、市場和科技所構成的產物。

現代化也均等的受到歷史和文化的影響。

而且中國也不會變成像西方國家一樣，

It will remain in very fundamental respects

How do we try to understand what China is?

我們該如何試著去了解，中國到底是怎樣的一個國家？

And the problem we have in the West at the moment, by and large,

is that we understand it really in Western terms,

for trying to understand what China is like,

中國不能真正的稱為一個 "國家"。

but everyone who knows anything about China

但是任何熟悉中國的人都知道，

This was what China looked like with the victory of the Qin Dynasty

in 221 B.C. at the end of the warring-state period --

秦朝統一天下，結束戰國時期的紛爭，

And you can see it against the boundaries of modern China.

你們可以看到現代中國的邊界線。

Or immediately afterward, the Han Dynasty,

或是秦代之後的漢代，這一張是漢代的地圖，

你們可以看到當時中國已經佔領了

most of what we now know as Eastern China,

which is where the vast majority of Chinese lived then

絕大多數的中國人居住的地方。

is, what gives China its sense of being China,

關鍵在於是什麼讓中國感到 "身為中國"，

這不應該從最近的一百年來看，

是從有 "國家概念" 的這段時期來看，

of a very distinctive notion of the state,

對 "國家" 的觀念賦予獨特的定義、

likewise, a very distinctive notion of the family,

和這類似地， 賦予"家庭" 獨特的定義、
