This picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl dressed in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face.

这幅画生动地描绘了一个可爱的美国女孩穿着传统中国服装，面带微笑。她佩带着发带、耳环、项链和其它的服装配饰，这些配饰具有中国某少数民族服装的特点。毫无疑问，这种服装为她的美貌增添了东方魅力。
What the picture conveys goes far beyond merely a new fashion trend. Instead, it carries cultural implications as well. The fact that people from other nations are attracted to the mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, one nation's distinctive culture can become international through world-wide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization seems irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges will effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.
这幅画所传达的信息远远不止于时尚新潮流，而是附带着文化方面的潜在含义。来自与其它国家的人正在被神秘的中国文化所吸引，这样一个事实表明某种程度上一种文化可以被接受、尊重、欣赏并在全世界范围内分享。换句话说，一个国家的独特文化可以通过世界范围内的经济文化交流走向世界。由于全球化的趋势不可阻挡，越来越多的文化交流将有效地促进共同的理解与友谊。
In my opinion, national culture, as a priceless spiritual treasure, should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile there are good reasons to advocate international culture, for those ideas from other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world. However, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous. (223WORDS)
在我看来，民族文化，作为一种无价的精神财富，应当被保存与珍惜。同时我们有充分的理由提倡世界文化。这是因为其它文化中的理念，尽管刚一接触显得格格不入甚至荒谬，可以为我们提供一种观察世界的不同视角。然而，当我们面对一种不同文化时，我们应当充满理智地去取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能促进文化的健康发展，并且使我们的世界多元化，多姿多彩，充满生机。
