西方人

And the region east to Tianshan Mountain (in the center of Eastern Turkeystan) was distributed by Saka (A branch of Aryan, whose language belongs to the Iranian Group, known as Scythian by Westerners and 'Sai Zhong' by Chinese).

在天山以东地区分布着另一支雅里安人部落SAKA（语言属于波斯语族，被西方人称为SCYTHIAN人被中国人称为 SAI ZHONG人）。

Half the thrill of the excursion is witnessing cultural treasures that few Westerners have seen since Marco Polo: in Kyrgyzstan, Saka petroglyphs that date back to the Bronze Age; in Kazakhstan, the Zenkov Cathedral, a wooden masterpiece built entirely without nails; in Tajikistan, early Persian ruins at Bunjikath; in Uzbekistan, the massive Bibi Khanym mosque, crown jewel of the Silk Road trading city of Samarqand; and in Turkmenistan, the brilliantly woven carpets in As?

旅行中一半的激动来自于成为自马可波罗以来很少西方人能够见到的文化瑰宝的见证人：在吉尔吉斯斯坦，萨卡人的岩石壁画可以追溯到青铜时代；在哈萨克斯坦，Zenkov大教堂，一个完全木制没有一根钉子的杰作；在塔吉克斯坦，Bunjikath有古波斯的遗址；在乌兹别克斯坦，Bibi Khanym清真寺宏伟壮观，还有丝绸之路上的贸易城市Samarqand的王冠珠宝；还有在土库曼斯坦，As？

但是要指出的是，在造纸术发明之前西方人从贸易中就知道有纸这种东西，但是价格不适合用作印刷媒介，直到后来学会了造纸术。

Because of silk, the western people at that time called China Seres, literally meaning the "Silk Country."

因为丝绸，所以西方人叫中国为赛里斯，&丝国&的意思。

Since logic was invented by Aristotle, the philosopher of Ancient Greece, there have been sortation and metaphysical knowledge that began to impact the westerners' thinking, although many mistakes of Aristotle were found later, such as his thought of proportional gravity acceleration to an object gravity, his denial to the existence of vacuum etc.

从古希腊哲学家亚里士多德发明逻辑学开始，就有了分类，有了形而上学的学问，也从此影响了西方人的思维，尽管后人发现了亚里士多德的许多错误，比如他认为重力加速度与物体的重量成正比，他不承认真空的存在等等。

Some of today's Western stereotypic visions of China are accumulated and shaped in the course of history.

西方人心目中的中国是在历史过程中形成的形象。

Six years ago, when Mr. le Masne took over, qipaos and Mao jackets made up the bulk of Shanghai Tangs sales -- mostly to Westerners. Few Chinese bought clothes in the shops.

六年前，雷富逸接管&上海滩&的时候，旗袍和唐装占该公司销售额的一大块，顾客主要是西方人，几乎没有中国顾客。

The design not only highlights unique oriental cultural background, but also reflects westerners' unstrained temperament, which indicates peculiar charm with delicacy, brief, elegance and fluency.

Dang and his tightfisted brethren to unstuff their proverbial mattresses.

包括一项旨在鼓励砀先生和他的吝啬兄弟们不要像谚语里说的把钱塞到软床垫里（此处请教了高人，这里是西方人熟知的笑话讲人民不信银行老把钱放自己家床垫里）。

From Madame Chrysanthème to Last Samurai to Avatar, when could Westerners stop seeing foreign cultures as female and themselves as male? And when could they stop the cross-cultural narcissism that, no matter how unsuccessful the Western man is, he will be loved by the Oriental woman?

从《菊子夫人》到《最后的武士》再到《阿凡达》，西方人什么时候才能改掉这种将异质文明视为女性，自己为男性，且一个无论如何操蛋的西方男性都会被一个地位神奇的东方女性爱慕的奇怪自恋呢？

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
