　　At present,the large and medium-sized cities in China that issue regulations to prohibit smoking in public account for 45.7 percent.From the experience of some cities,we can see the effect is not obvious and there is even a trend that prohibition cannot stop smokers.Many smokers are indifferent to regulations of prohibiting smoking and they continue to smoke facing the sign of“no smoking”.As living pressure increases,it is worth thinking how to create an environment with no smoking in such a complex situation.The nationwide“smoke-free”activity is not only a protracted campaign,,but also a fight to protect people's health.Thus,all people need to work together to fight against smoking.

　　在当今社会，相差三岁，就会有“沟”，即所谓的:“三岁一代沟”。以前，在人们的思维里，代沟(generation gap)所表示的时间长度是10到20年。而到了21世纪，随着全国各地的经济发展，人们文化知识的增长，思想意识的提髙，每个人的个性化和自我意识逐渐增强，人与人之间的交流出现了障碍，人与人之间的想法、观点出现了分歧，很难找到共鸣(resonance)。这种现象与经济发达程度有关，经济越发达的地方，代沟的时间差距越小。

　　In modern society,there will be a generation gap if the gap of ages reaches 3 years.This is the so-called“Each three-year age gap,one generation gap”.In the past,people thought that generation gap appeared when the age gap reached 10 to 20 years.But in the 21st century,with the national economic development,the growth of people's cultural knowledge and the improvement of their thought and consciousness,people's individualization and self-awareness have gradually been strengthened.Communication barriers among people appear;ideas and viewpoints begin to differ from person to person,making it hard for one to find resonance with other people.This phenomenon is related to the level of economic development-the more developed a place is,the narrower the age gap will be.

　　孔子(Confucius)是中国历史上影响最大、最受尊重的哲学家。从公元前100年到20世纪早期，孔子的理念是唯一一种极大影响中国社会的思想。孔子本人从未写下任何箴言(teachings)。如果不是他的弟子不辞劳苦记下他的谈话和言论，今天孔子将是无名之辈。孔子的言论在中国广为流传时，因其言论包含正确的哲理，人们接受了他的言论，历朝历代都将其确立为官方思想。儒家思想影响了中国的方方面面，包括教育、政府、公共和个人看法以及礼节。

　　Confucius is the most influential and respectedphilosopher in Chinese history.His ideas have themost powerful and sole influence on Chinese societyfrom around 100 B.C.till the early 20thcentury.Confucius never wrote down any of his ownteachings.But for his disciples who took the trouble to record his conversations anddiscourses,Confucius would have been a nobody today.Being widespread across China,peopleaccepted the teachings of Confucius for their sound principles,and all successive dynasties madethem the official state ideology.Confucianism then affected everything in China includingeducation,government,public and private attitudes, and etiquette.
