Practice 6 当今世界出现汉语热，一是因为中华民族历史悠久，有着光辉灿烂的文化，对人类进步作出过巨大贡献；更是因为20多年来，中国实行改革开放，综合国力大大提升，与中国打交道、对中华文化感兴趣的国家、国际组织和人员日益增多。学习汉语也就成为深入了解中国的必由之路。 任何语言都与经济和文化分不开，经济和文化发展的国家，其语言所起的作用十分重要。 “汉语热”的兴起，表明世界对中国未来发展的预期越来越好。
正确答案：
【参考译文】 The current worldwide interest in learning Chinese is attributable to the long history of the Chinese nation, its glorious and magnificent culture and its tremendous contribution to human progress. More importantly, as China's overall national strength has grown in the course of reform and opening-up over the last two decades, more and more countries, international organizations and people come into contact with China and take interest in Chinese culture. For them, learning the Chinese language has become the only road to a profound understanding of China. No language is separable from its economic and cultural environment. An upsurge of enthusiasm in learning Chinese indicates that the world is placing greater and greater expectations on the future development of China.
