聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 639 Effects?of?modernization?on?Traditions

 
2--Well, maybe a little. As people advance they kind of get nostalgic and want to look back. When they find that something is good they treasure it, but when it seems bad, they just let it go with the wind. The things we treasure are really part of our culture.
 
1--Very interesting, but maybe some Beijing people would disagree. Maybe they think Chinese people should stick to their traditions and not change.
 
2--They are just of different minds. Everyone has a right to his own opinion. However, some traditional treasures are not so popular with youngsters?
 
1--In your opinion, what are the some of the trussure traditions taht have become less important.
 
2--A number of middle aged people and most elderly people enjoy listening to Beijing Opera but, with the modernization of society, the younger generation has develop their own taste in pop music.
 
1--This is true in America as well. Every new generation has its own interests. Before in the mind 1900's many people liked jazz, but now young people like hard rock, heavy metal and hip hop.
 
2--Actually, the traditions of jazz and Beijing Opera are symbols of the cultural identity for our two countries. So we should preserve and develop them.
 
1--That's a good idea.

===================================
譯文：

1--你是不是覺(jué)得中國(guó)在其現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程中正在丟掉一些傳統(tǒng)?
2--可能有點(diǎn)吧。人類在進(jìn)步的同時(shí)往往變得懷舊，喜歡回顧過(guò)去。發(fā)現(xiàn)好的東西就會(huì)格外珍惜，而糟粕則會(huì)被摒棄。所以我們現(xiàn)在珍惜的東西才是文明的精華。
1--太有趣了。一些北京人很可能不大同意這種說(shuō)法。也許他們認(rèn)為中國(guó)應(yīng)該固守所有的傳統(tǒng)。
2--各人有各人的想法。然而，一些傳統(tǒng)的精華在年輕人中也沒(méi)那么流行了。
1--你認(rèn)為中國(guó)的哪些傳統(tǒng)沒(méi)有過(guò)去那么流行了呢?
2--就拿京劇為例吧。一些中年人和大部分的老年人就比較喜歡京劇，而隨著社會(huì)發(fā)展，年輕人中流行的是流行歌曲。然而盡管京劇是我們的國(guó)粹，年輕一代很多卻不喜歡。"
1--這在美國(guó)也是一樣的。年輕一代有他們自己的喜好。在20世紀(jì)90年代中期以前，很多人喜歡爵士樂(lè);而現(xiàn)在年輕人們喜歡硬搖滾，重金屬搖滾樂(lè)以及蹦迪等。
2--但是京劇和爵士樂(lè)是中國(guó)和美國(guó)的國(guó)粹啊。因此，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)盡量保護(hù)并且弘揚(yáng)他們。
1--你說(shuō)得很對(duì)。
