　　欧洲朋友讲“一棵树挡不住寒风”。

　　Our friends in Europe say that a single tree cannot block the chilly wind.

　　中国人讲“大河有水小河满，小河有水大河满”。

　　Chinese people say that when big rivers have water, the small ones are filled; and when small rivers have water, the big ones are filled.

　　中国古代思想家孟子说过：“夫物之不齐，物之情也。”

　　Mencius, the great philosopher in ancient China, said, "Things are born to be different."

　　中华民族历来爱好和平，自古就崇尚“以和为贵”、“协和万邦”、“四海之内皆兄弟也”等思想。
