本周我们补充一个学习内容--中国的“龙”与西方的dragons。  

请大家观看完视频后，思考以下问题：

Q1: What is the literal meaning of the Chinese character  "龙" and the  English word "dragon"? Do they refer to the same thing?

Q2: How about their connotative meaning? Are they the same in Chinese and western culture?

Q3: Why is this example different from “moon”, which we have discussed in class?

Q4: How can we translate Chinese "龙" into English?


以上这些问题将在下周课上探讨到，请大家观看完视频后，将相关答案写在作业本上，以待课上探讨。
