字数:521 用时:0:45:00 日期:2007/8/6
Are tradition and modernization really incompatible, as the author asserts? In my view, it is not such a case: traditions and modernizations have their incompatible aspects as well as their corporatingàcooperating? aspects. One who chooses each of them can benefit from the full realization of the other这里因为each和the other并不对应,读起来是有点怪怪的感觉了。建议换换句式或者怎么修改一下下.
After all,[in spite of? 我觉得怪怪的,呵呵,不如to begin with, first of all 好呢?] I agree with the author on the point that traditions and modernizations have their incompatible aspects, for what the makes读不懂你想表达是什么?前后也没有介词连接?'modernization' from its counterpart 'tradition' is the changes in the process to be a modern, [这整句话太过复杂,对我来说,看了等于没看,因为我看不懂,汗~~]in other word, new one. Civilization is included in the definition of modernization, which may mean an evolution from barbarous behaviors in the past into civilized ones and old ideas into new ones, purified by the modern ideas of democracy and freedom. What is inevitable in these process in[再汗~~一次,没看懂,这个in是is写错了么??] a break sometimes aiming at what were called traditions. To continue to accept[不如maintain,stick to] monarchy or to revolution for a republic world? That once served as a choice between the traditions and civilizations, one had to have a choose.[不地道了,make a choice] When it comes to globalization, another trend in modernization, collipses[collapses?什么意思?塌陷??] also occur often. When European countries chose to adaptedàapply? Adam Smith's theory in his well-known book Wealth of Nation and performed an open economic system, what they dropped was the old one where high taxes were used to protect their nation's industries. In these scenarios, between traditions and modernizations, which seems to be the symbol of transition, the controversariesàcontroversy?矛盾不相容,未免中文化了?compatible是用在两个事物之间,和中文还是不一样的。are incompatible.
However, they are not always acting like this. In modernization, well preservation of the former culture, which is called here, tradition[我认为:here called tradition舒服点], is another theme. When revolutions are occurring in the political fields后面说的是文物保护,不是政治哦?, the changes happen in people's mind have rarely experience such a severe process: they often go along an evolution path, and in the path, traditions are coexisting with modernization; and some will survives longer as symbols and records of the past, even forever. An instance in the city construction in Beijing can aptly illustrate this point. Now in Beijing, old style ones--the quart yards, which used to be utilized for living of our ancestors in Ming and Qing dynasties, from at least 500 years ago-- stand nearby the most modernized skyscrapters; and the preserved Forbidden City are replete with all kinds of electric equipments. These coexistings is indicating that traditions and modernization are not in such a hostile position, instead, they can be in harmony. What is more, tradition may lie as the basis where modernized one stand and the latter is to transform to adapt to new coming time. It can be best demonstrated by the evolution of laws: even laws aiming at regulating Internet and clone are at the same start point and sharing a common principles with the former ones even hundreds years ago. A good understanding of the old ones is sure to benefit these learners of the newers.
So, to sum up, tradition and modernization, though in some aspects act as an controversial pair of terms, in other cases, do coexist and benefit each other. Realization of this point and comprehension of each another could help to a better understanding of them.
