Then again, Chinese culture is so rich and longstanding that one person can only absorb so much in one lifetime. Particularly since Western sinologists have such a poor foundation, even to call a Westerner a sinologist is pretty ridiculous. Sinology is the "national study" of China and can't be mastered by foreigners.
再說，中國文化那麼豐富、悠久，一個人一輩子也不能涉獵多少，尤其西方漢學基礎這麼薄弱，說某一個西方人是「漢學家」，實在很可笑，漢學是中國的「國學」，是一種 nationalstudy，外人是學不來的。
