In this connection we may venture to make a comparison between American Puritanism and Chinese Confucianism.

在这方面，我们不妨大胆地比较一下美国的清教主义和中国的儒家思想。

Transcendentalism and evangelical Protestantism followed separate evolutionary branches from American Puritanism, taking as their common ancestor the Calvinism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

超验主义和福音派新教分别是美国清教主义的两个分支，他们的祖先是 17 世纪和 18 世纪的加尔文神教。

Thus American Puritanism has been, by and large, a healthy legacy to the Americans.

因此，总的来说，美国清教主义一直是美国人的健康遗产。

Thus it is that when the mists of time have cleared away, traditions such as American Puritanism and Chinese Confucianism will receive, as they are already receiving, the kind of rehabilitation they so well deserve.

因此， 当时间的迷雾散去时，美国清教主义和中国儒家思想等传统将获得它们应得的复兴，正如它们已经在获得的那样。
