are also languages in some extents. As we all know, a language refers to the culture of one country.
 
 Therefore, languages in different countries are different, though they have something in common. If using Chinese dragon for ‘long’, western people maybe give the differences between dragon and Chinese dragon, but they still cannot imagine what Chinese dragon is like. The translation cannot embody the characteristics of ‘long’. Moreover, there are still some misunderstandings caused by this. ‘Long feng cheng xiang’ is translated as: dragon and phoenix bringing in prosperity. This translation makes westerners confused. They may think dragon is a monster and evil, and how could devil bring in prosperity. Bad impression of dragon in western people’s eyes is deep for a long time because of this wrong translation exists. It is very hard to let them except the dragon might do something good.
 
Chinese emperors regarded them as long. They are very proud of it. Long means authority in their minds. The emperors can control the whole country on the name of long. However, in western people’s eyes, dragon is a kind of bugbear and destroys the whole world. Many heroes want to fight against it. It is impossible for dragon to control the whole world. It is very difficult for westerners to understand why Chinese emperors like who is like dragon can control the country.

In order to change the situation and solve the problem, correcting the English name of long is an inevitable action.
 
Since mascots of 29th Olympic games were informed, many people were very surprised at that Chinese long，which is regarded well by Chinese people all over the world, was not chosen.

‘Offspring of long’ is represented as diabolical that has been exaggerated. Some foreign scholars gave the speeches or wrote articles on the internet and other occasions. They regarded the offspring of dragon, as the child of devil, being based on that dragon is devil and bugbear. They are lack of benevolence, and have bad imagine on China. The world comes to being unified and the civilizations have different forms. Globalization includes all the civilizations, not only one kind. Tough Chinese people do their best to correct this improper translation, foreigners still use dragon for ‘long’ in oral English. They have not grasped the differences of the two creatures. They only hold the one-side view of ‘long’, which is extremely different from the reality. ‘Long’ has many deep meanings that they do not know, the most important of which is kindness. Chinese people cannot think westerners’ opinions with their eyes. At the same time, Chinese people cannot ask them to understand Chinese people with our eyesight.
