Issue147 "Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them."
(by yeshen2010)
提纲:
一、提出论点:现代和传统是否相容要依据不同的情况而定。
二、有的情况下,现代和传统是想矛盾的。
1.传统有可能阻碍社会的发展,现代可能代表社会的进步。比如民权。
2. 传统可能代表以前的好的道德品质,而现代的可能代表着腐化堕落的气息。
三、有的情况下,传统和现代可以完美的结合。如建筑——北京航站楼。
四、总结
As the development of the society, some people believe that they do not need to make fire with wood any more, but they cannot live without washing machine, refrigerator--these electrical equipments. So there is an assertion that tradition and modernization are incompatible, so that one must choose between them. I do not totally agree with this point. In my opinion, whether tradition and modernization are harmony or not is different case by case.
In some areas, tradition and modernization may be a conflict. Firstly, tradition may mean hindering social development. Meanwhile, modernization may show progress of society. Take civil rights for example. In 19th century, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, ended slavery, and stated that Negroes had the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In 20th century, Martin Luther King, an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement, had fighted for ending racial segregation and racial discrimination. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for the work. In 2009, Barack Hussein Obama, the first African American to hold the office, was inaugurated as president. The tendency that everyone has the same right is irreversible. So in this case, one should choose modernization which would bring a lot of benefits to society. Secondly, tradition may present old good virtue, such as honest, generous, integrity. While modernization may express a culture of corruption, such as greedy, stingy, deception. At this moment, one must choose tradition morality rather than the other one.
On the other hand, tradition and modernization can get along well with each other. The Capital International Airport Terminal No.3 in Beijing embodies the perfect combination of tradition and modernization. This terminal's appearance resembles a dragon with golden dome and red columns, reflecting Beijing's traditional culture. At the same time, it uses the most advanced technology and materials, such as automatic sorting, high-speed transmission system. The equal emphasis on modern and traditional architecture, using a number of new technologies in the world, so that Capital International Airport steps into the world's most advanced airport ranks.
As a conclusion, tradition and modernization are incompatible sometimes, while they can coexist well in other times. I suggest that we can choose the one which is as long as useful to human beings.
自我小结:思路不够开阔,例子比较缺乏,因此字数还是达不到要求。求拍!!!
改“321的Issue147”
The author contends that we must choose between tradition and modernization for the reason that they are incompatible with each other. However, I consider that the author has ignored the crucial role tradition plays in our modern society. After all, tradition has irreplaceable means to the modern world.
第一段没有明确地提出自己的观点。
To be sure, many technical instruments used nowadays have little relationship to the former days, such as the Internet, the developed transportation system, the mobile phone and so forth. These instruments facilitate our lives which can hardly dreaming of in the former days. The Internet has especially strong function in helping citizens' modern lives. We can shop online instead of going shopping in the mall, and the latter one might spend us a lot of time and energy(这句有些chinglish的感觉,建议改为“We can shop online instead of going shopping in the mall which might spend us a lot of time and energy”). Using the Internet, we can choose commodities from various shopping downtowns(是购物商城的意思吗?查了下google翻译,好像没此说法) and select the best one without wasting too much energy and money, which we cannot
finish in the(删除) traditional days. The developed(用advanced更准确一些) transportation system facilitates our lives on(删除) a great deal, especially the airplane(定冠词删除,改为airplanes), which seems to make the world smaller than before even there is little change of the world. We could be found everywhere with a mobile phone at hand. These modern instruments seem little relation with the tradition.
第二段主要是讲现代和传统没有多大的关系,但是没有鲜明的中心句,整段都是在举例子说明,包括第一句。
However, many of today's methodologies and values are handing(改为handed) down of(改为from) traditions(chinglish). In China, we emphasize mutual respect as one of our morals, which originate from Confucianism, found by Confucius, a great Chinese thinker. The standard is applied to various areas especially tracing a job position. We Chinese also reserve tradition festivals such as the(删除)
Spring Festival. Even in the rapid developing technical era, families would gather together to celebrate this festival. In the(删除) US, citizens would celebrate their traditional festivals like Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and so forth. By the way, every time on the(删除)
festivals, citizens would be happy enough to congregate and have good meals, in order to memorize the special days. Most of our methodologies nowadays are handed down from ancient people. Scientists do researches on any subjects nowadays referring to ever existing theories. These facts demonstrate that tradition has great value to our modern life which could not be discarded.
第三段主要讲现代是传统的继承与发展,用了颇多例子,但仍然没有分论点。另外,专有名词前(人名,地名,国名,节日,月份,星期,季节)前一般不加the。
Moreover, the(删除) traditional cultures like diverse architectures and arts variegate our modern lives. On the one hand, we reserve the most meaningful architectures for the memory of(改为memorizing) our history and these architectures as well serve to improve local economics. For example, the Great Wall in Beijing Province(删除), China(纯粹为了凑字数?建议删除), not only appeals visitors from discriminate countries(这个词是要表达啥意思呢?建议改为different countries)
and(改为but also) brings lots of profits to this city. On the other hand, the(删除) traditional architectures could help people understand the past history. The(删除) White House in the(删除) US has been constructed for a long time, for instance。(建议写成两句)
It has also great value in the(删除)
modern times, which serves as residence(resident是“居民”的意思) and official work place for president. No one could ignore the potential value of these traditional architectures. We can choose between traditional music and modern music all by ourselves. To be concluded, both traditional and modern cultures impact our lives in the world and we could not discard any of them.
第四段论点是传统文化丰富了我们的生活。但是最后两句跟这个分论点好像不太搭调。最后两句可以归纳到最后一段去。
In sum, we can conclude that though our lives changed a lot from the traditional times to the modern era, we could not ignore the momentous part tradition plays in our society. In fact, tradition and modernization are compatible with each other, we can not discard any of them.
最后一段的总结并没有涵盖第二段的内容。
小结:
1.定冠词的使用要注意;
2.分论点不是很鲜明。
3.chinglish的成分比较浓。
言辞比较激烈,望海涵。 |
