Chinese philosophy has become the third most popular course at Harvard University, behind Intro to Computer Science and Intro to Economics, according to the New York Times.
据《纽约时报》报道，在哈佛大学，中国哲学仅次于计算机科学导论和经济学导论，排在最受欢迎课程的第三名。
Michael Puett, a professor of Chinese history at Harvard University, said some ancient Chinese philosophy was embraced as "philosophy of life" by Americans.
哈佛大学中国历史学教授迈克尔·普鸣表示，一些中国古代哲学被美国人奉为“生活哲学”。
As early as 2006, when Puett was giving lectures on Chinese philosophy, the course was already popular among students. The second time he offered the class the following year, the class was so full some students could only sit on the stairs and along the hallway. The class had to move to Sanders Theater, the biggest venue 1 on the campus.
在2006年，普鸣开始向本科生传授中国哲学概论时，课程就受到大量哈佛学子的欢迎。当他在次年第二次开课时，涌入的学生甚至只能坐在教室台阶上听课，最后校方不得不将他的课堂转移到校园内最大的场馆--桑德斯剧场之中。

The related reports have shown that the number of students who choose to study humanities has decreased sharply in recent years. Thus, the popularity of the Chinese philosophy course is quite eye-catching.
根据相关报道显示，在近些年来，学生选择人文科学的人数在急剧下降，因此，这使得中国哲学课程的走红更加抢眼。
During Professor Puett's course, he requires students to closely read Confucius's The Analects, The Mencius, and The Daodejing and then put the teachings into practice in their daily lives.
在普鸣教授的哲学课上，他要求学生细读《论语》《孟子》以及《道德经》，然后结合自己的日常生活予以领悟。

Not only has Chinese philosophy become popular in Harvard, but so too has the literature. The first complete translated English version of "The Poetry of Du Fu", which was published two months ago, is widely read by students there and Du Fu is referred to as "Oriental Shakespeare".
在哈佛校园受到青睐的不只是中国哲学，还有中国文学。两个月前出版的首部《杜甫诗》英语全译本是哈佛学生的流行读物，杜甫也被冠以“东方的莎士比亚”的称号。
