In 1299, Marco Polo first translated the Chinese character “long” as “dragon” in his book *The Travels of Marco Polo*. Do you think this is 1 good translation?
Being known 2 (wide) by people, the Chinese dragon and the Western dragon are both animals in mythology(神话). They are similar in some ways. For example, they both have scales and big paws. 3 they also have lots of differences.
The Chinese dragon is made up of parts of some animals such as a rabbit's eyes and an ox's ears. The dragon is often painted gold. In Chinese mythology, the dragon can fly. It can also spray water from its mouth 4 (create) rain. The Western dragon, on the other hand, has the body of a snake and the big wings of a bat. The dragon stands for evil and is always beaten by heroes. It breathes fire and it is mostly painted in dark colours.
Are you in 5 (agree) that “dragon” matches the cultural meaning of “long” in China? I don't think so. This has something to do with the cultural differences between China and the West. In Chinese Confucian(儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony are very important. Western culture, however, 6 (prefer) individual heroism. Whoever beats the bad dragon is called a hero, a real 7 (fight).
Over the years, Chinese people 8 (try) to translate “long” in other ways. Zhejiang's Loong Airlines, for example, writes “long” as “loong”. No matter how “long” 9 (translate), one thing is 10 sure: The Chinese dragon is a positive image.
