篇2:传统文化不会消亡优秀英语作文

全文共 2405 字

+ 加入清单

The information revolution, the development of mass media and the achievements in science and technology have doubtlessly ushered us in a rapidly progressing society, where we may have no time to talk about our traditional culture. In the city, no one can escape from the fast pace.We eat the popularized fast food and enjoy the popularized "fast food" culture. Since we get so used to such fast things that many traditional things have been neglected, some people believe that the traditional culture will gradually be lost, but I think it will never be lost.

Although entertainments are in abundance nowadays, traditional cultures still continue to dominate.We still regard going to a concert as a luxury. Many classic books touch a string from generation to generation in spite of time and space.And we are still moved by the inspirational spirits of our great ancestors.Traditional festivals remind us of our disposition to the traditional culture. Our relief in traditional culture gets ready to revive at any time.

To some traditional cultures that are on decline, we have taken active measures to conserve them. Experts have come up with proper advice on protecting such cultures. Many volunteers have dedicated themselves to studying them. First and foremost,more and more people have discerned the importance of the traditional culture. Therefore, we are sure that our efforts will lead to a brilliant future.

If a culture wants to gain an eternal life, it should change itself to cater to the people in its age. So does our traditional culture. Traditional cultures adhering to modern means appear rigorous. For example, we make CDs for classic music so that it can not only meet modern needs but also spread further and more successfully in the modern world. The appearance of traditional culture changes, but the essence will never change and will be well accepted.

There is no need to worry about whether our traditional culture will be lost. It is an important heritage of the whole human race. No culture, no mankind. We cherish the traditional culture as we cherish our blood in our body. The traditional culture lies in life, forever continuing.

简评

信息厚炸,科技革命,快餐文化……人们身不由己,无暇他顾.这些无疑会引发人们对传统文化的担忧.作者针对这一现象斩钉截铁地提出自己的论点:传统文化不会消亡.然后作者运用了生活中许多为人们所熟知的例子,以及一些良好的排比句式,分段逐层推进,列举、讨论了人们对待传统文化中不同内容的态度和做法,并展望了前景,从而较好地完成了论证的任务.

全文思维活跃,条理井然,可见作者是位细心之人,有一个善于思考的头脑和一颗善感的心.只是在有些语句的表达上还可进行雕琢,以免艰涩难懂.

The culture differences between the East and West.

As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system.For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America.

It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese.But people in America prefer to forks and knives.This different result is based on different food they are like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and rice.What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly.However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture.For example,the coffee and bread have introduced to China.The famous KFC is very popular at children.

The gap of teaching system between China and America is big.Chinese students always complain about their homework.Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax.They have to recite many things as to get a high mark.Homework comes the first to them.

In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of memories.In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheers to our country.

篇5:《长城》在北美上映被骂惨是文化差异么

全文共 2358 字

+ 加入清单

据钱江晚报的消息说,2月17日7点,张艺谋执导的电影《长城》,终于在北美上映了。首日票房五百九十万美元(折合人民币约四千零四十九万),是中国内地首日票房一点二四亿人民币的三分之一,紧随《乐高蝙蝠侠》、《五十度黑》,位列第三。而根据预测,在全美三千三百多家影院大规模上映的《长城》,首周末四天有望拿下近两千万美元。不少媒体认为,在视觉和机构上,这《长城》借鉴了《权力的游戏》和《星河战队》等好莱坞的一些核心元素,找来好莱坞水准的特效团队,加上马特·达蒙等有号召力的影星加盟,走的是“标准大片范儿”的路线。然而,故事本身却收到各种花式吐槽。

即便如此,在鉴于电影在国内的票房不如预期,所以此次在北美的票房无疑是重中之重。但影评惨不忍睹,社交媒体上的吐槽随处可见,未来票房收入前景黯淡。有这么一篇题为《为什么中国和好莱坞无法交融》中有几句话还是有几分道理的,如果说好莱坞希望与中国电影人合作的话,那就应该放弃不伦不类的合拍片。更好的做法,是在中国建立一家国际制片公司来培养年轻的中国电影人和编剧,并帮助他们创作出可以吸引中国观众的影片。这才是中国以及好莱坞制作卖座影片的有效的诀窍。

但是,在许多国内媒体看来,该片北美票房似乎是一个差强人意的成绩。该片启用了好莱坞巨星马克·达蒙,张艺谋在过去有十七部电影在北美上映,也是为美国观众所熟知的华人导演。特效方面启用世界顶尖的特效公司工业光魔、维塔工作室。总之,在国内媒体看来,这应该是一部拿去和《魔兽》这样的顶级好莱坞魔幻片大制作比较的影片。实际上对于北美观众来说,这首先是一部中美合拍片,即使有了呆萌的加盟,它更合理的比较对象,依然应该是《英雄》,而不是《魔兽》。将《长城》票房与好莱坞顶级魔幻大制作比较,对它也并不公平。

单单从文化上有不适应性,剧中守城士兵的服装过于夸张,产生一种可笑而不严肃的观感。诸如像“片子无聊”、“痛苦地令人感到毫无启发”、“漂亮面孔的堆砌”,也无非是全片存在文化不兼容性,除了一些华丽的视效外,电影本身情节太过可预测,对白苍白,无法给观众带来有精神冲击的观影感受。而有评论者认为,若是能仔细想想,就好比是抗日神剧,类似“我爷爷在我很小的时候就死了”层出不穷,可还是挡不住大家看,不免在观影时是一边骂一边看的。但是在神剧里我们还可以去以血还血、以牙还牙来对待。

尽管片中也有不少张艺谋惯用的元素,《英雄》,《十面埋伏》,《黄金甲》三部古装片积累的经验都可在本片见到,比如像飞刀“仙人指路”一样的射箭表演,皇宫里斑斓的色彩,团体操式的行军打仗设计。但这些都是皮毛,它的内核看不到张艺谋的追求,若这样来看的话,张艺谋早期选故事很有投机眼光,他那时拍出的文艺片都很有话题性,可以同时满足东西方观众的猎奇心理。到了上个世纪九十年代中后期,张艺谋的方寸就有点乱了。那感觉就像他被资本牵着鼻子走,被商业大潮卷来卷去身不由己。是因为他对于导演文艺片这件事厌倦了或是江郎才尽了?也可能是因为他选择文艺片故事的投机眼光出问题了。

换句话说,诸如像那些个消极的批评其实是不甚公平的,容易忽视《长城》的文化和历史价值。原本观众们在电影里看到的往往是阿米利肯联邦的超级英雄们忙着拯救人类,主战场往往在阿米利肯的城市里。难免有人批评说,这个电影不应该叫《长城》,或许应该叫《我在宋朝打怪兽》之类的名称更合适。然而,这种批评意见没有意识到,如此的“长城”这个名称与其说是在命名故事情节,不如说是在表现文化要素,在进行文化释放。不错,长城就是天朝文化的典型代名词之一,伫立在那里。

然这问题是对于电影欢迎一切科学的、实事求是的、公正的批评,但批评不是“阴谋”的狂欢,不是“预谋”的胜利。若是说这恶意影评是一把双刃剑,博眼球能赢得一时的利益,但实际上却是饮鸩止渴,大浪淘沙终将被淘汰。不知道这批评应该是基于事实,不是站队,或者说对于影评中的摆事实讲道理,是电影批评起码的起点。即便是电影用了中国文化的象征做故事背景,那么对于导演和演员都太有名了。这两点的存在,难道电影上不上映都注定了要被骂么。电影《长城》当前水深火热的处境,不仅仅来源于电影本身质量与观众对张艺谋电影心理期待的巨大价值差,更来源于现今乌烟瘴气的网络舆论生态。

另则评论者认为,说张艺谋算是做的很优秀了。虽然也赞同从转战商业电影开始的作品,文化厚度与思维深度都有一定程度的下滑,但不容置喙的是无论英雄也好长城也罢,影片的可观赏性并未减弱。但毕竟在网络信息社会及知识化水平的提高在不断提升着大众的审美,此间也有很多人吐槽片中的“擂鼓”和“边塞歌”等场景,我很想说,文化程度高但是知识水平低的人真是好多好多。影片中庄严有节奏的出战擂鼓仪式,被无知评论说成“双节棍”,虽然我没有查证找出宋代当时军队出战时的擂鼓方式具体如何,但我肯定也是庄重肃穆整齐划一的,至少不会像一些影视剧中衙门击鼓告状那么简单,而摄影出身且对细节要求苛刻的张艺谋,必定也是查阅了大量文献资料才会将它展示在影片中的。

即便如此,之前看多几部好莱坞电影的都清楚,从成龙时代到近几年的《敢死队》、《变形金刚》、《惊天魔盗团》,中西结合已成为一部影片国际化的一大常见卖点了,并不稀奇。若说这张艺谋如此设定可能是在商业化《英雄》的基础上将中国文化中国元素中国电影迈向更高的国际化舞台,而更深入的探索中西方元素在文化与艺术两个层面更恰当友好的融合对于所谓的“边塞歌”等场景同理,实话说这些场景还都挺美。这也就是中国当前网络舆论生态中的一大乱象了,所有该关注该研究的事物,很少有人会去花心思挖掘探索,反倒是对那些无意义的不该操心的事情,个个兴致盎然。巧的是这次的《长城》正好又是一部“无意义的不该操心的事情”比较多的电影,这《长城》被置于如此风口浪尖也就不足为奇了。诸如此类。

Traditional Culture Wont Be Lost

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading

and will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly,so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas,Sintaklaas.Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century,he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809.This first Santa Claus was still known as St.Nicholas,he did smoke a pipe,and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer,but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole,he did however bring presents to children every year.

In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit,pipe,and his reindeer and sleigh.

Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States,because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.

In Pennsylvania,the Moravians build a landscape,called a putz - under the Christmas tree,while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle,who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.

Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States.Many settled in the early days in the South,these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks.In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies,Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.

In Alaska,a star on a pole is taken from door to door,followed by Herods Men,who try to capture the star.Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple,a symbol of hospitality.

In Alaska,boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door.They sing carols and are invited in for supper.

Protect Traditional Chinese Culture

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

What Is American Dream?

什么是美国梦?

What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?

什么是美国梦?所有的美国人都是一样的吗?它是虚构的事吗?它是为了追求更好的生活吗?美国梦随着时间是如何改变的?有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢?每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想,你的梦想是什么呢?

The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道:美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上,每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想,并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资,而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序,在这种秩序下,男人和女人不论他们出身如何,社会地位如何,都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。

In the united States Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?

在美国的《独立宣言》中,我们的创始人指出:“……所有的人人生而平等,创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,这其中包括生命权,自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础?

Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?

农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的大城市,抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地,他们是在实现自己权利吗?移民来到美国,是为了自己想要的生活,追求自由、幸福和梦想吗?二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢,安定下来,有居住的房子,汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想?所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗?马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗?马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗?

篇17:吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化

全文共 2563 字

美利坚民族是个年轻、天真、自信、富有生气的民族。像个血气方刚的青年人,美国人生性好动,不甘寂寞。像个精力充沛的年轻人,美国人不停地干这忙那,似乎有永远也使不完的精力。城市里的人似乎永远赶着去什么地方;乡村里的人总是在农田、养鸡场、谷仓、奶牛场之间奔跑不停;办公室里的人有着堆成山似的文字工作(paper work)要做;公司里的秘书手脚不停地接电话、送文件。你在街上走逛,后面的人会大步流星地超赶到你的前面;你去餐馆就餐,难得寻觅到能与你说笑寒喧的伴侣。生活的节奏像一根上足了的发条一样,有条不紊地不停运转,构成了一幅繁忙、近乎于疯狂的现代人生活画面。

美国人的快节奏生活方式,除了止述美利坚民族好动不好静的秉性之外,很大程度上与他们社会的激烈竞争息息相关。美国是个市场经济高度发达的国家,“物竞天择,适者生存”的法则是它的运转规律,不进则退,不胜则败。为了生存和成功,美国人必须拼搏和奋斗,而拼搏与奋斗的一个重要方面是与他人抢时间、争速度,使自己始终处于依靠地位。由此可见,美国人的快节奏生活方式是被他们紧张激烈的社会竞争所“逼迫”出来的。因为这种“逼迫”无时不在、无处不有,美国人对快节奏生活方式也就习惯成自然了。

真话重于客气

在不少国家,人们互相交谈时,喜欢拣对方高兴听的知说,而不愿指出事实真相,以免伤了和气。这多半是出于客气(courtesy)和礼貌(politeness)。但在美国人的眼光里,这种心地善良的客气和礼貌不及真话重要。美国人的伦理价值观中有一条箴言:“诚实为上策” (Honesty is the best policy)。换句话说,在比较诚实、客气、礼貌、家族声誉孰轻孰重时,美国人把诚实放在首位。因此,在美国如果要说某人的坏话,最厉害的一句是“你不能相信他”(You cannot trust him)。

试举例说明。一个美国人驾车赶路,途中,他问一路人:“这里距离下一个市镇还有多远?”在一些把客气礼貌放在高于真实位置的国家里,路边这位先生也许马上想到赶路者已疲倦不堪,急欲抵达目的地,于是便客客气气地说,“顺着这条路走就到了”(Just down the road)。他以为这样回答能使赶路者心里宽慰从而更振足精神。然而,当这美国人开了好半天的车才到达要去的市镇时他会心情不畅,甚至气愤,觉得自己受骗了(feeling tricked)。在他看来,那位路边人明知路程很远,却存心欺骗他。同样的问题,美国人会怎样回答呢?美国人认为,假如他知道下一个市镇还有24英里的路程,回答说“Just down the road”是不诚实的表现。因此,尽管对那疲倦的寻路人极富同情,但他还是实话相告:“有好一段路呢,至少24英里”。(You have a long way to go ;at least 24miles more)。问路者听了也许会失望,但他明白了自己的处境,所以也不会产生误解。

交友

在美国这样一个地域流动(geographical mobility)和社会流动(social mobility)都很的国家里,交友自有它的特色。由于人们时常从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方,他们在交友时所建立的友谊可能一时密切而牢靠。但一旦彼此迁移他处时,他们的友谊可能不久即告消失,双方各自再找合适的新朋友。美国人不会因这种友谊的处理方式而感到“薄情”,更不会觉得自己受了对方的轻视,或者侮辱。大多数情况下,“劳燕分飞”的朋友可能保持通信、或者电话联系一两年,然后逐渐中断联系。有趣的是,一旦有机会再见面,不管间隔多久,昔日的朋友会“和好如初”,重温友情,甚至继续密切往来一段时间。

基于在这交友方式,外国客人去美国人家作客时,可以无拘无束、轻松自在地与他们闲谈、玩耍。他们可以与美国人共弃假期,甚至一起生活,而不必为保持终身友谊而担忧犯愁。就美国人而言,他们邀请外国客人去作客是出于一种友情和好客,他们乐意为这种短暂的友谊花费一定的时间和精力。

爱搞实验

美利坚民族性格中,爱搞实验是她的一个重要特点。从大的范围讲,美国本身就是一个最大的实验场。自哥伦布“发现”北美新大陆后,一批又一批移民涌入美国,根据他们各自理想蓝图,在美国进行不同类型的实验。清教徒要在那里建立一个“天府之国”,共和主义者想在那里建立一个“大同世界”,注重经济发展的人要把那块广阔富饶的土地变成“强盛之邦”。从小的范围看,一代又一代来自世界各地的开拓者,不断地利用一切机会进行各种各样的尝试。有的试图在政治上发迹,有的设法在经济上发财,也有的为了自己的理想之梦而孜孜以求。不管是大范围着眼,还是小范围角度,美国都被看作是“机遇之地”(land of opportunity),因而可以在那里展开实验。

吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化

说起美国餐,你可能立刻想起热狗、汉堡包、薯条和炸鸡。但是,美国餐还包括沙拉、牛排、烤排骨、鲜虾、龙虾、新英格兰奶油蛤汤、炖鸡汤、奶油蘑菇汤等等。不仅如此,美国是个开放的国度,美国餐也是世界各国各地美食的总汇。

在美国餐里,我现在最喜欢吃的是沙拉。它的特点是生,生得颜色很鲜艳,红的是西红柿,绿的是生菜、菠菜、西兰花和芹菜,橘色的是胡萝卜,黄色的是烤面包块和奶酪,白色的是酱和酸奶酪。沙拉保持了原汁原味,各种菜香都可一口品尝到。有些沙拉也加上了烤鸡肉条或培根。沙拉的不同口味主要体现在酱上,有奶油味、意大利甜酸味、印尼千岛味、加州奶油味等等。我喜欢吃沙拉的另一个原因是它营养健康,维生素含量比炒的炸的菜更丰富。

我也爱吃牛排。好的牛排是棕色的,做得好的牛排可顺畅地一切到底。上面经常有很多香喷喷的肉汁。牛排一般半磅到一磅重。好餐馆里一块牛排差不多13美元,在快餐馆里,一块牛排才只有一两美元。

新英格兰奶油蛤汤是我最爱喝的汤。它美味可口,满齿留香。汤是乳白色的,有独特的浓浓的奶油味。除了奶油以外,汤里还包括蛤、贝、芹菜、洋葱和多种草药。这个汤已经在美国餐馆的菜谱里流行几百年了。

苹果派是传统饭后甜点。苹果派有格子的派壳,里面塞满了苹果酱果。甜点一般是为了哄小孩或帮助去除油腻味的。

我知道上面谈到的不能代表整个美国佳肴。但是,每当我品尝这些食品时,就仿佛感受到美国人对大自然的理解,对生活的态度。吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化。

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
