如今越来越多的外国人主动了解中国文化，融入中国社会，介绍中国的新变化，深受网友欢迎，也搭起了文化交流的桥梁。
那么，就随小编一起来看看下面的文章中，一个16岁的美国人在访问中国后对中国的看法。
I visited China four years ago as an immature 16 year-old American.
四年前，我作为一个不成熟的16岁美国人访问了中国。
Before I went over, I didn’t ever really think about China. It was on the other side of the world. They were Communists. They had a lot of people and pollution. Looking back today, it seems so naive to have been so ignorant of the largest nation of the world. I guess it’s a common American problem, though that’s no excuse.
在我去之前，我从来没有真正想过中国。它在世界的另一边。他们是共产主义者。他们有很多的人和污染。回顾今天，对这个世界上最大的国家如此无知，似乎是如此天真。我想这是一个常见的美国问题，虽然这不是借口。
On the plane ride over, I sat next to a Chinese man. It came up that I was a Christian. He said he was too. Eye opener. There are religious people in China.
在飞机上，我坐在一个中国人旁边。我说我是个基督徒，他说他也是。这让我大开眼界，原来在中国也有宗教信仰的人。
In Shanghai, I climbed the World Financial Center and looked down at the largest city on the planet from over 1500 feet up. I was amazed. Later that day I traveled to a market in one of the poorer districts of the city, and I was amazed in a different way.
在上海，我爬上了世界金融中心，从1500多英尺的高空俯视着地球上最大的城市。我很惊讶。那天晚些时候，我去了城里一个比较贫穷的地区的一个市场，我以一种不同的方式感到惊奇。
I traveled to Wuhan on an overnight train. It felt like it took forever for us to get there, and I imagined we must be halfway across the country. Not even close. China is huge.
我乘通宵火车去武汉。我觉得我们花了很长时间才到那儿，我想象着我们一定已经到了半个国家了。但还差得远呢。中国是一个巨大的国家。
Wuhan is a major industrial city, and it’s definitely not a major tourist destination. Pollution was pretty bad while I was there. But after a week or so in Wuhan, we traveled to Hangzhou, which is known for the beautiful West Lake. It was like night and day of difference- in Hangzhou, people followed traffic laws, facilities were kept up, and the city felt like it was full of life.
武汉是一个主要的工业城市，它绝对不是一个主要的旅游目的地。我在那里的时候，污染非常严重。但在武汉呆了一个多星期后，我们去了杭州，那里以美丽的西湖而闻名。这就像是黑夜和白天的差别——在杭州，人们遵守交通规则，设施被维护，城市感觉就像充满了活力。
That was another eye opener- China is like any other large country. It has its winners and its losers, its beautiful parts and its utilitarian parts. Some people live hard lives of work in factories. Others run businesses and live in beautiful penthouses.
这是另一个让人大开眼界的事情——中国和其他任何一个大国都是一样的。它有它的赢家和输家，它的美丽部分和它的功利部分。有些人在工厂里过着艰苦的工作生活。还有一些人在经营生意，住在美丽高楼大厦里。
Finally, we visited a smallish city (by Chinese standards) called Wenling, where I stayed with a Chinese family and played bootlegged Fifa 13 with a kid my age. I went to school with him and saw students drilling for the national exam. I saw English teachers trying to teach a language they themselves weren’t fluent in to try and help the kids get a good job. I met a girl who said that she wished she could go to America, because in China she wasn’t allowed to be left-handed (I assume this was a family pressure issue).
最后，我们参观了一个名为温岭的小城市（按中国的标准），在那里我和一个中国家庭呆在一起，和一个同龄的孩子玩盗版的国际足联13。我和他一起上学，看到学生们为参加全国考试而练习。我看到英语教师试图教授一种他们自己并不流利的语言来帮助孩子们找到一份好工作。我遇到一个女孩，她说她希望自己能去美国，因为在中国不允许她做左撇子（我想这是家庭压力的问题）。
Throughout China, I met incredibly kind people, rude people, young people, old people, people with dreams of a wife and a car, people just trying to get by.
在整个中国，我遇到了非常善良的人，粗鲁的人，年轻人，老人，梦想着拥有妻子和汽车的人，想过上好日子的人。
And what I realized is that China is like the United States. It’s a complicated place. It’s full of contradictions and juxtapositions. But like the United States, and like every country that I’ve been to, really, it’s an amazing place with wonderful people to meet and beautiful places to explore.
我意识到中国就像美国一样。这是一个复杂的地方。它充满了矛盾和并列。但就像美国，像我去过的每一个国家，真的，这是一个非常棒的地方，有很棒的人可以相聚，也可以探索美丽的地方。
So when I came back to the United States, I started reading about China. I started taking Chinese classes and classes about the history of China. And the more I’ve learned, the more I've realized how impossible it will ever be for me to get a handle on China and really understand it. After all, you can spend your whole life trying to understand one person, let alone 1.4 billion.
所以当我回到美国，我开始阅读关于中国的书。我开始上有关中国历史的中文课。我学到的越多，我就越意识到要掌握中国并真正理解它是多么的不可能。毕竟，你可以花一辈子的时间试着去了解一个人，更不要说14亿了。
And my trip to China made me realize how silly all of our government disagreements and problems are. Let’s build friendships instead of driving our destroyers through the South China Sea. Let’s work together to make the world a safer place. Let’s learn about China and Asia and let the most populous continent in the world have a bigger say in world culture and leadership. Otherwise I guarantee our ignorance will hurt us.
我的中国之行让我意识到我们所有的政府分歧和问题是多么的愚蠢。让我们建立友谊，而不是驾驶我们的驱逐舰穿越南海。让我们共同努力，使世界成为一个更安全的地方。让我们了解中国和亚洲，让这个世界上人口最多的大陆在世界文化和领导地位上有更大的发言权。否则我保证我们的无知会伤害我们。
