The Prevalence of Western Holidays
The Prevalence of Western HolidaysIt is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Young people in China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas or Valentine's Day.
值得注意的是，西方節(jié)日正日益流行，而中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日在一定程度上卻被忽略了。對中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日一無所知的中國年輕人卻熱衷于西方的圣誕節(jié)或情人節(jié)。
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to prevail in China. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while treating our own possessions with contempt.
造成這種現(xiàn)象可能有幾個原因。首先，西方國家，如美國和英國，在世界各個方面都占有強有力的主導地位。這些國家的一切都被一些現(xiàn)代年輕人認為具有優(yōu)勢并受到崇拜。第二，英語作為一種世界通用語的普及以及全球化的發(fā)展使得西方文化在中國盛行。最后，但也是同樣重要的是，一些中國人迷信外國的東西，而蔑視自己擁有的東西。
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let us join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition, especially traditional holidays. (180 words)
我對這一趨勢持批評態(tài)度。中國擁有燦爛輝煌的歷史和傳統(tǒng)。中國的傳統(tǒng)應加以保持和促進。如果這一趨勢繼續(xù)下去，我們祖先的寶貴遺產，將被西方傳統(tǒng)所取代。沒有人期待這樣的后果。因此，讓我們攜起手來保護中國的傳統(tǒng)，尤其是傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。
