第61集: 一起读鲁迅的《藤野先生》Let's read "Fujino Sensei" by Lu Xun

几乎在每个文化当中都有神话。有的神话反映出人的道德观念，比如：正义会战胜邪恶。有的神话则试图解释关于宇宙，人类的重要问题。宇宙的起点是什么？人类从哪里来？人死后又会去哪里？ 了解神话会帮助你了解文化。今天Nathan就跟大家分享三个中国神话。所有中国人都知道这三个神话，例如 “盘古开天辟地” 的故事。   Almost every culture has its mythology. Some of them reflect moral standards of human society, such as: justice will prevail over evil. Some are attempts to answer important questions about the universe and human beings: What is the origin of the universe? Where do human beings come from? Where do people go when they die? Knowing mythologies will help you understand the culture. Today, Nathan will share with you three mythology stories, which every Chinese person knows, amongst which the famous "Pangu separates heaven and earth".   ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Quizlet flashcards ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Our new merch store! ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

中国启动社会信用体系已经几年了。起初，这也许是一个好的想法，希望鼓励人们做有信用的人。但是，随着互联网，通讯软件，摄像头的快速发展，政府可能知道我们做的每一件事，收集信息，然后给人打分。好人分一边，坏人分一边。今天，在中国，我们已经看见这样的社会。让我们看看。 It has been several years since China adopted the "Social Credit System". As good as it might seem in the beginning, which was to encourage people to be credible, yet with the development of the Internet, social network and surveillance cameras, governments might know everything that we do. They collect information, and assign scores to people, dividing people between good and bad. Today, we are already seeing such a society in China. Let's find out. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Quizlet flashcards ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Our new merch store! ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate
