Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them.
The speaker claims that tradition and modernization, as two opposite directions, are incompatible so that one must choose between them. However, in my view, tradition and modernization can compromise with each other and promote each other.
意思还不错。compromise with? 有这个用法吗? 还是用 coexist,或 be compatible with 比较好吧。
To begin with, most societies, individuals or objects are a combination of both tradition and modernization. For instance, Beijing, as the capital of Chinese, has a lot of old buildings remind us the history and tradition of China. The Forbidden City, the summer place and the Great Wall are the symbols of tradition. At the same time, a lot of new style buildings, such as the Bird Nest, Water Cube and all those skyscrapers, show that how this city modernized. Beijing shows the way how one can be modernized and yet preserves one's tradition at the same time. The same rule applies in individual. One could wear modern-style clothing and drive a sedan, at the same time keeps the tradition views inside. When one
is born in a society, he/she will inevitable receive the traditional views, attend traditional ceremonies, which are parts of traditional culture. Therefore, tradition and modernization are always combined together rather than separated.
一上来就反驳对方,这个习惯不太好。可不可以先说点 tradition 和 modrenization 有时 incompatible 的事情呢?比如巫术和科学之间,奴隶制度与民主社会之间,等等。这样看问题会让人感到你比较 well-educated。呵呵
Moreover, tradition and modernization can improve each other in some aspects. With the development of technology, many traditional staffs are modernized and promoted. Think about cheongsam, the traditional women dress in Chine. In the past, there were not many style of it and it can only be handmade, which limited the output. Nowadays, thanks to the new technology and new material, cheongsam has more variety, more comfortable materials, and can be volume produced in factories. It has become popular and even fashion around world. It can be seen that modernization can make tradition staff more alive and suitable to the new time. On the other hand, tradition can benefit modernization in some ways. Qinghuaziguang Company, which produced computer and other electronic products, adopts the "Disciples regulation", which contains the tradition rules of China, to manage the modernized company and has a impressive effect. From this case, we can clear see that tradition cannot not only combine with modernization, but benefit it. In short, tradition and modernization can promote each other in some ways.
Admittedly, modernization is the trend of society, but we should never give up tradition. Something new and modernized will always take place of the olds and traditions. Without modernization, our human might still live in a primary live. However, tradition is also important to remind us our culture and history. When we face a incompatible situation that we must choose one of them, we should give the place to modernization and safe a place for tradition in our memory and mind. After all, modernization provides us further development.
In sum, in most cases, tradition and modernization are compatible, and can benefit from each other. If the dilemma situation appears, we should choose modernization for the further development.
总体还不错!紧扣主题,构思尚可。语言表达略嫌生硬。4.5分! |
