微笑的“传统文化”

预测范文

The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization. In the photo above, a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese handcraft in a museum. Obviously, she has been attracted by its elegant charm.

In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper. One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization. Another reason that the future of China's ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government. Finally, the culture of China is supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.

For China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interest overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture will be brighter and more secure than ever before.

参考译文

中国古老的文化是人类文明的伟大财富之一。在上述照片中，一位外国女士正在一所博物馆中愉快地欣赏一件中国传统工艺品。显然，女士被它优雅的魅力所吸引。

在我看来，中国传统文化不但肯定能够存续，而且事实上必将会繁荣兴盛。首先，已经开始对中国传统文化的保护做出贡献的一个因素是其自身的商业化。其次，中国古老文化的未来可被视为“安全”的另一个原因是中国政府做出的保护文化方面做出的积极努力。最后，随着国际上对中国及其传统越来越浓厚的兴趣，中国文化得到了国际上的广泛支持。

中国跟世界上其他快速发展的国家一样，古老的习俗和传统在现代化的阴影下面临着消失的危险。如果太极拳、中国功夫或京剧永远从地球上消失，那将是不可估量的悲剧。幸运的是，由于成功的商业努力、政府坚定不移的支持和不断增长的海外兴趣，中国传统文化的将来会比过去任何时候更光明、更安全。
