147. "Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them."
传统和现代化是水火不容的。人们必须二者选一。
提纲:
1. Tradition refers to the beliefs, values, customs, way of life, crafts, which are handed down from generation to generation in a society Much traditional wisdom is still relevant and can inspire us to search for solutions to present problems.
2. Modernization refers to the process of urbanization and democratization, or in a large sense, westernization.
3. The correct way to modernize a culture is to transform its tradition rather than to uproot its tradition.
Everyone liveS in the modern society, to some degree, [少连词]is guided by traditional ideas which are pasted from ancestors. Meanwhile, modernization brought by the advancement of high technology changeS people’s daily life in so many aspects such as ......或者不说在很多方面. And the shock to tradition from modernization is too huge to neglect. From observation of the whole world, however, people are living a modernized life of ease and comfortable with traditional thoughts. Absence of either tradition or modernization would lead a deformity in today’s life.
While the question: “what is tradition?” come to my mind, myriads words float before my eyes 是我孤弱寡闻还是你独立创作,感觉像chinglish, , such as, respecting the old and loving children, pursuing the success by own oneself, spring festivalChristmas, Thanksgiving Day, Saint Valentine Day都比春节放在这里合适。 and so forth. Thus it can be seen that, tradition refers to the beliefs, values, customs, way of life, crafts, which isare handed down from generation to generation. Through hundreds, or even thousandsOF years, theses information and concept instituted by forebear have taken deeper roots in the mind of offspring. Further more, the traditional conception and ceremony nearly all advocate solidarity, friendship and mutually helping, which are virtues of human being. And all of above are indispensable factors in harmonious life, no matter in the past or present.
And then, what does the modernization look like? Writing letter in the replacement of E-mail, automobiles instead of horse riding, shopping on the internet take place of usual mode, 前面这三个,接这个共用的谓语take place,感觉很怪,如果take place不是共用的谓语,那么主句就有问题了。 which are the implications of it. In this instance, modernization defines as the process of urbanization, or in a large sense, westernization 这句话的语态有问题,另外,现代的就一定是西化的吗?. These progresses indeed make people’s life much more convenient than previous time which is dominated by traditional way. On the other hand, modernization is regarded as a course of democratization. For example, new law is made to meet the requirements of humanization and adapt to the new situation never occurred before. It is obvious that modernization result in saving time and energy, yielding more human rights. To accept modernization, individuals could well manage themselves in work and everyday life.
In the final analysis, the areas of society modernization involved are so various and numerous that seem to uproot the tradition. Nevertheless, tradition cannot be eliminated by modernization. In respect that, in most cases前面是固定搭配,还是固定用法,没有见过,in respect是做什么东西的 , modernization is the innovation which base on traditional ideas. Even the modernization would be impeded if the modernistic behavior against some wonderful essences of tradition. Hence, everybody could transform the tradition, and change it to satisfy the modern life without losing its merits. At the same time, maintaining tradition for tradition’s sake is thought to be harmful to the progress and development of society.
一般In the final analysis就是最后做结论的,和to sum up等同效。 In conclusion, to better deal with current problems nowadays, people need to keep traditional ideas in mind and use modern tools which both are helpful to search the solutions of them. In this view of point, tradition and modernization could not be mutual exclusive but complementary. The significant point is to keep balance between tradition and modernization rather than absolutely choosing to do sth. rather than doing sth.? one of them. |
