　　【翻译原文】

　　在中国，会见亲朋好友或在春节期间拜访某人时，除了握手之外，拱手礼 (fist-and-palm salute)也是常见的礼仪。拱手礼是中国古代重要的礼仪，有着2000 多年的历史。它形成于西周时期，后来成为同辈人见面时的礼仪。中国人以距离表示对他人的尊重，不像西方人常以身体的亲近表示尊重。拱手礼保持一定的距离，比较符合现代卫生(hygiene)要求。因此很多礼学专家(etiquette expert)都认为，拱手礼是一种最恰当的交往礼仪。

　　【参考译文】

　　In China，besides handshaking，when meeting friends and relatives, or paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival，the fist-and-palm salute is also common etiquette. It is an important etiquette in ancient China with a history of more than 2,000 years. The fist-and-palm salute was formed in the West Zhou Dynasty, and later it became the etiquette when meeting peers. Chinese people show their respect to others through distance，which is different from Western people who usually show respect through physical closeness. Fist-and-palm salute is done from certain distance, which is in line with modem hygiene requirements. So many etiquette experts believe that fist-and-palm salute is the most appropriate communication etiquette.

　　石狮(stone lion)由石头刻成，是中国传统建筑中常见的装饰物。一般来说，石狮是指大门外的一对狮子;然而，他们的外表却不是我们所熟悉的狮子。也许中国古代的大多数中原人从未见过真正的狮子。据说，狮子是在汉朝时由西域(the Western Region)引入中国的。在中国文化中，狮子是神话中的形象，而非真正的动物。狮子被视为神兽(divine beast)。中国人认为它可以驱除邪灵。一般情况下，根据中国传统文化，石狮应该是一对。通常雌狮子的两爪之间会刻一只幼狮，而雄狮则是用一只爪子玩球。
