Part 2 Talking About Confucious 谈论孔子

Dialogue Script 1  对话原文 1 　

Rob: Do you study Chinese history?
Tina: Yep. There aren't many of us left who are still interested in it.
Rob: Well, maybe you can tell me about Teacher's Day.
Tina: Well, yes, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Rob: Is that more important? Shouldn't we be celebrating Confucius?
Tina: Everyone's forgot about him since his birthday's no longer a holiday.
Rob: But isn't tradition still important?
Tina: You sound like my father. This sausage is delicious. Too bad you won't eat it.

讲解：

1. 对话中，Rob和Tina聊了起来。Tina是学习中国历史的，现在已经没有多少人还对历史感兴趣了。不过Rob对中国历史和文化还是非常感兴趣的。他问Tina可不可以告诉他一些跟教师节有关的事情。

2. Tina说当然可以，可是今天是中秋节，为什么突然想起教师节了呢？Rob问中秋节要比教师节重要吗？难道不应该庆祝孔子的生日吗？因为现在孔子的生日9月28日不再是一个节日了，所以人们几乎遗忘了这个日子。

3. 但是Rob觉得奇怪，传统不是仍然很重要吗？Tina笑Rob听起来像他爸爸，老古董了。

4. 不管怎么说，Rob终于碰到了一个可以一起讨论中国历史和文化的人了，这让他很高兴。
