章节摘录

　　If you are asked to name some national emblems of China， the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves the descendants of the dragon. It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you may become the dragon.　　As a mythical creature， the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally， dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition， the dragon is a symbol of imperial power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.　　While Chinese believe dragons bring prosperity and good fortune， the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible， dragons represent the devil and they trick the world. Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles， like snakes said Jonathan Haagen， copy editor for the Teens. They are cruel killers， breathing fir and capturing women. He added that people thinkof dragons as being dishonest because of their forked tongues.　　More often than not， dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters against which the hero must battle. It is a common tale for a hero to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle a deadly dragon and get back a golden egg from its nest in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fi？e.　　So， some Chinese expertshave suggested changing the English translation of dragon to Loong. They believe the misunderstanding of the dragon is due to the trmislation.　　However， dragons are not all bad in the West. Puff the Magic Dragon is a well-known song. The lyrics tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper， a little boy. When Jackie grows up， he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a childs imagination， which is very positive for a dragon， said Haagen.
