I must say that it is very humbling to have the opportunity to
visit the oldest continuous major world civilization – a country
with records dating nearly 3,500 years,This accomplishment
is especially remarkable to me in light of the fact that the
United States is mere 213 years old,In addition to discovering
that China boasts the world’s oldest continuous civilization,I
was amazed to learn that China also invented the civil service
system.
我必须说,令人自惭形秽的是,我有机会访问这一有着连绵不
断的文明史的世界文明古国，这一有着将近 3500年历史的国
家。 中国的成就的确让人惊叹,因为相比之下，美国只有 213
年的历史。我不仅发现中国拥有值得自豪的古老延续的文明，
而且我还惊讶地了解到中国也发明了自己的文官制度。
Set goals,have confidence,
make efforts,and you will succeed.
