Re: [color=#ff00b6]issue 26 请大家帮忙打分抛砖[/color]
ISSUE 26
Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served.
ISSUE的翻译:很多人都同意,古建筑是对一个社会的过往的珍贵记录,但是当现代的规划师觉得现存的古建筑可以被更好地用来服务现代社会时,争议产生了。在这样的情况下,现代发展应该优先于保留有历史价值的古建筑。
我的中英文提纲:
(1)建立在牺牲有价值的古建筑的基础上的现代NEEDS,实际上没有给社会带来BENEFIT,只不过是暂时的NEEDS罢了;(对社会的)
(2)很多针对珍贵的古建筑的改造都不能避免地给建筑的外表和它的美学价值带来一定的损伤,因为把它恢复到原貌是非常困难的,人们通常无法很好地理解建筑师创作他们的作品时的独特想法;(对建筑本身的)
(3)我们也不得不承认,一些很少有历史和艺术价值的建筑可以通过改造来迎合现代的用途,以更好地实现它的价值。(让步)
(1)The contemporary needs built up on the sacrifice of the valuable old buildings are always in fact just temporary needs, rather than a really benefit towards the society.
(2)Most reconstructions on purpose of contemporary usage towards the precious old buildings would inevitably do damage towards its appearance and aesthetic value, as it is difficult to restore its original style designed by the ancient architect who, as we know, always had their unique thoughts on their own works.
(3)Admittedly, some buildings with little historical and artistic value can be made of contemporary usage through reconstruction to realize its value well.
正文如下:
There are so many ancient architectural masterpieces, like the St. Sophia Church, the Parthenon, the Egyptian Pyramids and so on, still standing on earth, with their weathered but picturesque surfaces intriguing people's imagination of its once prosperity and fair stories. Since we are grateful with the aesthetical and historical values they bring to us, why not preserving and protecting it from any damage to its value? So, I dispute the given statement that contemporary needs should take precedence over the preservation of some historical and artistic buildings.
First, the contemporary needs built up on the sacrifice of the valuable old buildings are always in fact just temporary needs, rather than a really benefit towards the society. Once the historic buildings began being changed or demolished for modern purposes, they would be, to some extent, setting out their way of losing ever charm and dignity. Like the disappearing ancient walls in Beijing City, on which several generations of dumb millions carved their grief during the war and happiness during the peaceful times, had witnessed the prosperities and comedowns of the whole city, But they can only exist in the our archive and textbook now, replaced by some brand-new streets and skyscrapers. No one can retrieve those precious stones and records, even the famous Chinese architect, Sicheng Liang, who spent the rest of his life to call for the preservation of the walls. Though it is really a modern place where the poor walls had ever stood in, what we have lost is much larger than what we have gained. In order to meet those so-called contemporary needs. The whole society of the humanity has really paid too much.(the topic sentence should be revised because you do admit that we have gained from the contemporary application in given example. i think it would be better if you propose that the value of old buildings outweigh that of contemporary needs directly.)
Another reason why I don't agree with the comment above is that, most reconstructions on purpose of contemporary usage towards the precious old buildings would inevitably do damage towards its appearance and aesthetic value, as it is difficult to restore its original style designed by the ancient architect who, as we know, always had their unique thoughts on their own works. Modern architects and constructors may never completely know how those great works came into being. What they can do towards the buildings is sometimes based on a superficial comprehension of the originator’s spirits. Thus, (inappropriate) addition or reduction is destructive unless done by the creator himself. What we ought strive to do is preserving the initial appearance of the buildings as much as possible, keeping them away from unnecessary damage from either natural or manual. Just like the Parthenon, the famous architecture built up in ancient Greece, is now preserved well wholly in the museum, leaving the original site a replica. By this way, the valuable building is saved and at the same time, people can experience its aesthetic value while being kept away from damaging the antique both in the museum and in the initial site. (the example that focuses on possible methods to preserve a valuable construction has little relation with you main sentence.)
Admittedly, some buildings with little historical and artistic value can be made of contemporary usage through reconstruction to realize its value well. Those buildings, though having beared a long age, granted no value either in historic or aesthetic fields, or even bringing insecurity and harm. It is a good advice that we change them into thorough new buildings, endowing them with thorough new functions to serve some contemporary purposes. Like the Nazi prison camps, where millions of guiltless Jews lost their lives there, should be demolished on account of their evil purposes and destruction towards the whole humanity.
In sum, we should call for the preservation of the historical-or-aesthetical-valued architectures, rather than put it into use and reconstruction, which meets some contemporary needs. At the same time, given the fact that some old buildings lost their values during the periods of time, modern architects on ancient buildings ought to impose their zeal of reconstruction on those mediocre buildings and give more freedom to the valuable ones.
后面两段我没仔细看,但那个让步好象没什么力,只是凑字数。
以上纯属个人意见 :p
