In recent years, western festivals have increasingly aroused a great attention among Chinese people, especially the young.Concerning the phenomenon of Chinese people’s interest in celebrating the western festivals, different people have divergent views.
近年來，在中國人中西方節日激起了越來越大的關注，尤其是年輕人。關于中國人喜歡慶祝西方節日這一現象，不同的人有不同的看法。
For one thing, some people hold that the celebration of western festivals has added more fresh and joys to our lives. For example, on Valentine’s Day, many young people will give their gifts to each other to extend their love and strengthen their relationship or express their admiration. From this aspect, the celebration of western festivals provides a chance for us to communicate with others and develop our relationships. In addition, the celebration of western festivals has also added some fresh blood to our traditional Chinese cultures.
一方面，有些人認為慶祝西方節日給我們的生活增添了更多的新鮮和快樂。例如，在情人節當天，很多年輕人會通過互贈禮物來表達自己的愛，加強他們的關系或表達自己的愛慕之情。從這一方面來看，慶祝西方節日為我們提供了一個與他人交流或發展關系的機會。此外，慶祝西方節日還為我們中國傳統文化添加了一些新鮮的血液。
For another, others point out that people’s too much attention to the western festivals will result in less attention to our traditional ones. And in the long term, more and more people in the next generation will have no knowledge about our traditional culture.
另一方面，有些人指出人們過于注重西方節日會導致對自身傳統的忽略。從長遠來看，越來越多的人下一代對我們的傳統文化一無所知。
As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to favor the former one because I think the celebration of western festivals is necessary and important for us to keep our traditional culture fresh and active.
我覺得我傾向于第一個觀點，因為我認為慶祝西方節日對于保持我們自身的傳統節日的新鮮和活力是有必要的和重要的。
