Technology and Traditional Culture
专八范文：
As we all know, the technological advancements are on the move at an unprecedented speed in the present society. Some people think that as technology develops traditional culture will be lost whereas some others do not think so.
众所周知，当今社会，技术正在以前所未有的速度发展着。许多人认为随着技术的发展，传统文化将逐渐消失。但是许多人并不这么认为。
As far as I am concerned, the technology does harm to the traditional culturein some sense but it can alsoprotect it from dying out. In other words, the technological advancement is a double-blade sword. We need to realize it in a didactic way.
我认为，技术在某种程度上确实不利于传统文化的发展，但是，技术的发展也可以防止其消亡。换句话说，技术的发展是一把双刃剑。我们应该意识到这一点。
First of all, the technology is a little harmful to the traditional culture. Due to the emergence of the new technology, some forms of art have been dead for many years. Some cultural heritage has been threatened.Take the jade carving for example. The craftsmanship has been disrupted due to the popularity of the new technology. The works of art has been produced through the machines rather than the hands of the craftsmen.Therefore, the art has lost the most important part of its taste. Most of the artistic works are the products of the factories.
首先，技术对传统文化的伤害较小。这是因为新技术的发展，许多文化形式已经消亡了许多年。许多文化遗产正在遭受着威胁。我想拿玉石雕刻举个例子。由于新技术的发展，手工技艺已经遭到了威胁。大部分的艺术品都是通过机器所制造出来，而不是手工。所以，艺术已经失去了以前的味道。大部分的艺术品都是工厂所制作出来的。
Secondly, the new technology helps the traditional culture spread more widely. For example, many exhibits in the Palace Museum have been available visually online. Visitors do not have to go to the museum but just stay at home to enjoy the heritage. It is the technology that has made all this possible. One more example, Peking opera is the national essence of our culture. The plays of the veteran artists have been kept with the help of the technology. We will feel that these great artists are not far away from us and that wecan still learn from their good performances. Nowadays we all read many good books, which have been a mostimportant carrier of our traditional culture. Thanks to all the presses and publishing houses, we can readso many books and they help carry on our culture through their printing technology.
第二，新技术宣传了传统文化。例如，人们能够在网上看到故宫的许多展览。游客不用前往博物馆，在家就能欣赏这些文化遗产。技术使这些成为可能。还有一个例子，京剧是文化的精粹。通过技术，许多老艺术家的表演得到了发展。我们感觉到这些伟大的艺术家离我们并不遥远，我们还能够从他们的优秀演出中学到许多东西。现在，我们能够阅读到许多书籍，书籍是传统文化的重要载体。因为出版社，我们能够阅读更多的书籍，印刷技术能够帮助我们传承文化。
To sum up, we should be aware of the disadvantages of the technology and make the two go hand in hand in harmony. On the one hand, the technology helps to protect and spread the traditional culture. On the other hand, the traditional culture may promote the technology development.
总结，我们也应该意识到技术的害处，并让文化和技术共同发展。一方面，技术帮助我们保护文化，传播文化。另一方面，传统文化促进技术的发展。
