example,what are the functions? for fighting?

  诺亚:嘿,嘿,伙计,这些我也知道。说些我不知道的。比如,练习武术有什么用呢?打架?

  jacob: frankly speaking, the main purpose is to strengthen the physique. besides defense and offence, the most outstanding functions of martial art are moral cultivation and artistic effect.

  雅各布:其实,练武的主要目的是为了强身健体。除了防守和攻击,武术在道德培养和艺术影响方面都有重要作用。

  noah: it seems that i have mistaken martial art as fighting skills.

  诺亚:看来我是把它误以为格斗术了。

  jacob: it does contain this part. martial art has a history of thousands of years. chinese culture is deeply intertwined into it. but martial art at ancient time is totally different from that in modern times.

  雅各布:它确实包括这一部分。武术已经有几千年的历史了,和中国文化有着千丝万缕的联系。但是,古代武术与现代武术是完全不同的。

  noah: so it is a good way to learn chinese culture through martial art.

  诺亚:这么说来学习武术不失为了解中国文化的一种好方式。

  jacob: certainly.

  雅各布:那是当然了。

  noah: you really know a lot. just like wiki.

  诺亚:你知道的可真多。简直就是百科全书!

  jacob: you flatter me too much.

  雅各布:过奖过奖。
