No, we don't master Kung Fu like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan or Kung Fu Panda.
不,我們沒(méi)有像李小龍、成龍或功夫熊貓那樣會(huì)功夫。
We do not eat every kind (and every parts) of animals.
我們并不會(huì)吃所有動(dòng)物(以及動(dòng)物身上每個(gè)部位)。
Yes, Chinese can have more than one baby. I have one sibling and my wife has six siblings.
是的,中國(guó)人可以有多個(gè)孩子,我有一個(gè)兄弟姐妹,我妻子有六個(gè)。
China is not as poor and uncivilized as you think. If your first China destination is Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou, you will be amazed.
中國(guó)并不像你想的那樣貧窮落后。如果你去中國(guó),首先在上海、北京或廣州落腳的話,你會(huì)大吃一驚。
China is not as rich as you think. There is another "poor China" in the rural west.
中國(guó)也不像你想的那么富有,在西部農(nóng)村你會(huì)看到另一個(gè)“貧窮的中國(guó)”。
Chinese do not speak one single language of Chinese. For myself, my mother tongue is Min Nan dialect and the Mandarin is mainly used to communicate with people from other parts of China. The difference between Min Nan and Mandarin is much more than that between English and German.
中國(guó)人并不只說(shuō)漢語(yǔ)這一門語(yǔ)言。就我自己而言,我的母語(yǔ)是閩南語(yǔ),而普通話主要是用于和中國(guó)其他地方的人交流。閩南語(yǔ)和普通話之間的不同可比英語(yǔ)和德語(yǔ)大的多。

Myth: Most Chinese are Buddhists.
誤區(qū):大部分中國(guó)人都是佛教徒。
Fact: Most Chinese are actually atheists.
事實(shí):大部分中國(guó)人實(shí)際上是無(wú)神論者。
However, Confucianism and Buddhism have influenced Chinese culture for thousands of years and they affect almost every Chinese's thoughts and behaviors in a subtle but significant way.
但是,儒家思想和佛教影響了數(shù)千年來(lái)的中國(guó)文化,而且它們也潛移默化地影響了幾乎每個(gè)中國(guó)人的行為思想。
