好,请听第一题。中国近代史上信仰基督教的名人,请列举三位。抢答开始!请一号选手作答。
OK, here's the first question. Please list three famous Chinese Christians from recent Chinese history. Begin! Go ahead, contestant number one.
伊斯兰教有逊尼和什叶派,基督教的话包括天主教、东正教和新教。不过中国人说的基督教,更多的是指新教。
Islam is made up of Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. Christianity includes Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. However, when Chinese people mention Christianity they generally mean Protestantism.
听起来好复杂,我从来都没参加过这类活动,对各类宗教文化也一无所知,仅仅知道佛教,伊斯兰教和基督教这几个著名的宗教,更多的我也讲不出来了。
It sounds pretty complicated. I’ve never attended those kind of activities, and don’t know a thing about religious culture. I barely know anything about it, even the more famous religions like Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Other than those, I really don’t know anything about any religions.
其实我也是。我对宗教并不算了解,可我很乐意接触到不同的宗教文化。我有一些信仰宗教的朋友,很多时候我都是从文化的角度来分享他们的经历。和我一起去教堂的朋友就从小信仰基督教,而且非常虔诚。
Actually, I’m the same. I can’t say I understand religion at all, but I’m willing to have some contact with different religious cultures. I have some religious friends, and I often find myself related to their experiences on a cultural level. The friends I went to church with have been Christians since they were little, and they’re really devoted.
我想我永远都没办法理解这种虔诚。宗教信仰是个人的自由,我不会干涉他们,但也没有办法深入其中。我们这一代人大多数都是没有宗教信仰的。不过现在信基督教的人在中国真是越来越多了,相反中国的第一大宗教-佛教的教徒大多都是老一辈的人了。
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand that kind of devotion. Religious faith is a personal freedom, so I would never interfere with others’ faith, but I myself could never get that deeply involved. Most people of our generation aren’t very religious. However, nowadays more and more people in China are becoming Christians. On the other hand, the followers of China’s primary religion—Buddhism—are mainly from the older generation.
不是的,我并不是基督教徒。昨天是我第一次去教堂,也是我第一次参加这么正式的主日礼拜。这真是一次特别的体验。与其说我在参与一种宗教的活动,还不如说我受到了一种宗教文化的熏陶。
No, I’m not at all. Yesterday was my first time in a church, and it was my first time attending a formal Sunday service. It was a really special experience. Rather than saying I was participating in a kind of religious activity, it was more like receiving a kind of religious cultural experience.
是啊,可是大部分中国人不是基督教徒,所以圣诞节并不去教堂,而且中国人庆祝圣诞节基本上只在平安夜。
可是我听说大部分的中国人都不信奉基督教。
