二．把下面一段话翻译成英文。

儒家和道家的思想内核是尚雅鄙俗风尚的文化渊源。雅趣正是文人在对儒道精神的不断和艺术审美化的过程中形成的高雅情操和审美趣味。这种雅趣不仅弥漫在各种艺术形式中，而且，尤其表现在历代文人的典雅趣味、高尚情操和生活方式里。在高义卑利的道德前提下，在君子之风的热情追慕中，在做人境界和艺术境界的不断创造，不断融合中，古代社会形成了一种只属于中国文人的崇尚高雅、追求境界的艺术传统和审美情趣。

The core of Confucianism and Taoism is the headstream of advocating elegance and despising popularity.  Refined tastes are the refined sentiment and aesthetic tastes which came into being in the course of the internalization of Taoistic Confucianism and the application of Taoistic Confucianism to aesthethics. Not only were the refined tastes ubiquitous in various artistic forms, but also it existed in the elegant insterest and lofty sentiment and life style of the men of letters. On the moral premise of advocating elegance and despising popularity, schloars fervidly pursued the lifestyle of gentlemen and  creatively introduced their doctrines into art. Thus, in ancient China, the artistic tradition and aesthetic tastes which advocated elegance and sought ideal state came into existence and it exclusively belonged to Chinese scholars.
