　　参考译文：

　　As China is rising as a political and economic world power， thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up， more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process， the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land， whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs. And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy， art， architecture， medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerablecivilization.// As the second culture， Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners. This trend， so to speak， is gathering momentum and is there to stay. Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine， more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture， herbal medicines， martial arts.// They are also interested in kongfu films， fashions and crafts. Seemingly outlandishwords such as dim sum， ginseng， gingko， oolongcha have crept into their everyday language. The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism， and ancient school of thought， and fengshui， an ancient art of placement.//
