你知道怎么用英语表达“中国元素”？
Chinese element, 就是中国元素，其中element 是名词，指整体中那些重要、必需或基本的“元素、要素”
近年来，一些带有中国文化元素的词语被收录进权威的英语词典，如“guanxi（关系）”“Tuhao(土豪)”“Dama(大妈)”“baozi（包子）”“yuanxiao（元宵）”“gaokao（高考）”等。凸显了汉语的个性，丰富了英语的词汇。
此外，被称为“中式英语”(Chinglish)的洋泾浜语言，如“lose face(丢面子)”“no can do(不能做/干不了)”“long time no see（好久不见）”“good good study, day day up（好好学习，天天向上）”等带有中国文化元素的表达方式也已走进英语世界。

这座青铜塑像2017年建成，塑造了手执毛笔的汤显祖和手握鹅毛笔的莎士比亚的形象。莎士比亚出生地基金会研究部门主管、英国伯明翰大学莎士比亚研究所荣誉研究员保罗·埃德蒙森在接受新华社记者采访时说，不少来到莎士比亚出生地的游客被这座塑像吸引，仔细阅读上面的文字，细细品味这两位文学巨匠的关联。

(江苏省南京市玄武区2021-2022学年九年级上学期期末英语试题)
Many Westerners have the assumption(假设)that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is of course a silly belief But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy(炫酷的)and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx and Enter The Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip-hop group.Wu-Tang Clan(“武当派’’) founded in the early 1990s in New York City is one of the most influential(有影响力的) hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念)that come from wudang quan--the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan-little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu.However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life.Be formless...shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt(调整)and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
