「紫皮書」英語六級漢譯英小短文：陰陽
陰陽，源自古代中國人的自然觀。古人觀察到自然界中存在著各種對立、但又彼此相關聯(lián)的大自然現(xiàn)象，于是，古人以哲學的思維方式，歸納出"陰陽"的概念。早在春秋戰(zhàn)國時代，《易經(jīng)》和《道德經(jīng)》都對陰陽有過相關論述，并將陰陽上升為理論。陰陽理論已經(jīng)滲透到中國傳統(tǒng)文化的方方面面，包括宗教、哲學、歷法、中醫(yī)、書法、建筑、占卜等，成為中國人哲學和文化觀念根深蒂固的淵源。
Yin and Yang were originated from the outlook of ancient Chinese on nature. When observing nature, people of ancient China found natural phenomenon that are antagonistic but closely related. Therefore, ancient people summarized these into a concept of "yin and yang" in a philosophical way of thinking. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and. the Warring States period, the "Book of Changes" and "Lao Tzu(Tao Te Ching)" had all discussed what Yin and Yang is and developed it into a theory. Today, the theory of Yin and Yang has penetrated all aspects of traditional Chinese culture, including religion, philosophy, history, medicine, calligraphy, architecture, divination and so on, and has become a deep-rooted origin for the philosophical and cultural values of Chinese people.
