【作文背誦范文】
The Prevalence of Western Holidays-it is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasinglypopular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Youngpeople in China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas orValentine's Day.
值得注意的是，西方節(jié)日正日益流行，而中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日在一定程度上卻被忽略了。對中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日一無所知的中國年輕人卻熱衷于西方的圣誕節(jié)或情人節(jié)。
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the UnitedStates and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries isassumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence ofEnglish as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to prevailin China. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while treatingour own possessions with contempt.
造成這種現(xiàn)象可能有幾個原因。首先，西方國家，如美國和英國，在世界各個方面都占有強有力的主導地位。這些國家的一切都被一些現(xiàn)代年輕人認為具有優(yōu)勢并受到崇拜。第二，英語作為一種世界通用語的普及以及全球化的發(fā)展使得西方文化在中國盛行。最后，但也是同樣重要的是，一些中國人迷信外國的東西，而蔑視自己擁有的東西。
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. Chinese traditionshould be preserved and promoted. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage ofour ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So letus join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition, especially traditional holidays. (180 words)
我對這一趨勢持批評態(tài)度。中國擁有燦爛輝煌的歷史和傳統(tǒng)。中國的傳統(tǒng)應加以保持和促進。如果這一趨勢繼續(xù)下去，我們祖先的寶貴遺產(chǎn)，將被西方傳統(tǒng)所取代。沒有人期待這樣的后果。因此，讓我們攜起手來保護中國的傳統(tǒng)，尤其是傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。
【高分句型解析】
China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions.中國擁有燦爛輝煌的歷史和傳統(tǒng)。
點評：這個句子結(jié)構(gòu)很簡單，但用的都是“大詞”，比如：boast,brilliant和splendid，在四級寫作中準確運用這樣的詞是考試得高分的一個亮點。
