The Difficult Search for American Products in the US


If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. "I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China."

Toys are not the only things made in China. "I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes," he explains. "But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!" He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. "In fact," he continues, "there were many other things there made in China -- footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!" Kang Jian thinks it's great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he hopes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.

美国产品在美国的艰难搜索


如果你去另一个国家，你会买什么东西？ 你会在日本买照相机，在法国买漂亮的衣服，还是在瑞士买手表？ 不管你买什么，你可能会认为这些产品是在这些国家制造的。 然而，你可能错了。 康健是一名来自上海的17岁学生。 去年他去旧金山看望他的叔叔和婶婶。 他发现当地商店里的许多产品都是中国制造，这很有趣。 “我想给我的表弟买一辆玩具车，但即使大多数玩具是美国品牌，它们也是在中国制造的。”

玩具并不是唯一的中国制造。 “我想买一双篮球鞋，”他解释说。 “但我去了五六家店才找到一双美国制造的！” 他意识到，美国人几乎无法避免购买中国制造的产品。“ 事实上，”他继续说，“那里还有很多其他东西是中国制造的——足球、手袋、宠物食品、手机。 连美国国旗都是中国制造的！” 康健认为中国很擅长制造这些日常用品，这很棒。 然而，他希望未来中国也能在制造人们可以在世界各地购买的高科技产品方面做得更好。

Beauty in Common Things


Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.

According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.

Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 year. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

普通物品的美


中国的每个不同地区都有自己独特的传统艺术形式。 这些作品通常试图表现生活中重要的东西，比如爱、美和家庭。 最普通的东西，从纸到粘土到竹子，都变成了美丽的物体。

根据中国的历史，孔明灯是由诸葛孔明首先使用的。 当他遇到麻烦时，他派他们出去寻求帮助。 今天，天灯被用于节日和其他庆祝活动。 它们是用竹子做的，上面盖着纸。 当灯笼被点燃时，它们像小热气球一样慢慢上升到空中，让所有人都能看到。 它们被视为幸福和美好愿望的光明象征。

剪纸已经有1500多年的历史了。 剪纸听起来很简单，但做起来却很难。 这种纸通常是红色的，在用剪刀剪之前要先折叠起来。 最常见的图片是花、动物和有关中国历史的东西。 春节期间，它们被贴在窗户、门和墙上，象征着好运和新年快乐。

中国的泥塑艺术很有名，因为泥塑片很小，但看起来很真实。 这些作品通常是中国童话故事或历史故事中可爱的孩子或活泼的人物。 这些碎片是用一种非常特殊的粘土手工精心塑造的，然后让它自然风干。 干燥后，用很高的温度烧制。 然后进行抛光和涂漆。 完成这一切需要几个星期的时间。 这些小小的泥塑艺术品展示了所有中国人对生活和美的热爱。

1. Where is tea produced in China? 中国哪里产茶？
 英语中 produce，grow 和 plant 三个动词均可用来描述农作物及植物的 “种植；生产；生长”，但有所区别。produce 指农作物成产量化地 “出产”，或自然地 “生长出；长出；结果（果实）”。

例如：

This region produces over 50% of the country’s rice. 这个地区出产整个国家 50% 以上的大米。
These trees can produce very good apples. 这些树能结出优质的苹果。

 grow 表示 “种植；播种” 这一行为，指把种子或秧苗栽种到土壤里使之生长。

例如：

How many trees have you planted this year? 今年你们种了多少果树？
They planted tomatoes and carrots in their backyard. 他们在后院栽种了西红柿和胡萝卜。

2. He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. 他意识到美国人几乎无法避免购买中国制造的产品。
 动词 avoid 的意思是 “回避；逃避；躲避”，其后可接名词、代词及动词 -ing 形式等作宾语，但不可接动词不定式。

例如：

I can see she’s trying hard to avoid meeting my eyes. 我看得出来她极力回避我的目光。

 avoid 另有 “避免；阻止发生（不好的事情）” 的意思。

例如：

Young children are taught road safety to avoid accidents. 对孩子们进行道路安全教育以避免交通事故的发生。
It’s not a bad idea to keep quiet to avoid a quarrel. 保持沉默以避免吵架不是个坏注意。

3. Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. 康健认为中国擅长制造这些日常商品很了不起的。
 everyday 是 every 和 day 构成的一个合成词，意为 “每日的；每天的；日常的；平日的”。everyday 是形容词，仅用在名词之前作定语，不能单独使用。

例如：

everyday life 日常生活
everyday English 日常英语
everyday activities 日常活动
everyday clothes 平日里穿的服装

注意：everyday 与 every day 有区别，every day 是副词短语，意为 “每天”，相当于 each day，通常用作句子的时间状语。

例如：

We see each other every day. 我们俩每天见面。
The teacher asked us to read English books every day. 老是让我们每天都要读英语书。

4. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty. 最为普通的东西，从纸张到陶土再到竹子，都变成了精美的物品。

The sunny morning turned into a rainy day. 晴朗的早晨变成了雨天。

 2）objects of beauty 在此处 “精美之物；精美物品” 的意思。其中 object 指具体、实际的 “物品；东西”。

例如：

an everyday object such as a spoon 诸如勺子这样的日常物品
Look, there’s a strange object in the sky! 快瞧，天上有一个奇怪的东西！

5. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. 这些作品通过手工用一种特殊的陶土精心塑型，然后再自然晾干。

Did you read that piece in today’s newspaper? 你看过今天报纸上的那篇文章了吗？
