　　Topic 3: There is a disagreement on the impact of increased business and culture contact between countries on a country's identity. What is your opinion?

　　商業(yè)和文化的接觸增多會(huì)導(dǎo)致一個(gè)國家特征的喪失：

　　影響文化：文化不是靜態(tài)的，而是動(dòng)態(tài)的(not static, but dynamic);—種文化的改變主要是由于社會(huì)環(huán)境(social environment)發(fā)生了變化。比如說，人們的飲食習(xí)慣發(fā)生了改變，這是學(xué)習(xí)外界文化的結(jié)果(People's eating habits have been changed as the result of learned behaviour); 快餐文化源自美國，有些人將此作為財(cái)富的象征(symbols of wealth),從而喜歡快餐;另外，本地的飲食文化會(huì)改變，以適應(yīng)外國人的口味(suit the tastes of visitors);

　　影響生活方式：進(jìn)口商品的增多，對外國產(chǎn)品的喜好(preference for imports);人們更加熟悉他國的文化，而忘記自身的特點(diǎn)(sense of identity)，社會(huì)的團(tuán)結(jié)也有所損害(an erosion of social solidarity);服裝、飲食、娛樂等等都被同化了(westernized),比如說，西裝現(xiàn)在是流行的男性服裝(the suit is the most popular outfit for men);

　　欠發(fā)達(dá)國家在技術(shù)革新中起到的作用甚微(play a small role in the technological revolution),所以需要"出賣"自己國家的主權(quán)或者利益來獲得國際的幫助(concede sovereignty and interests to other countries for aid);貧富差距加大(widening gap between the richest and poorest parts of the world);

　　接受西方文化的人們成為一個(gè)國家新的統(tǒng)治階級(new ruling class);人們摒棄傳統(tǒng)的觀念 (renounce traditionally-held beliefs),覺得傳統(tǒng)觀念是過時(shí)的和低人一等的(outdated and inferior);主流文化會(huì)取代老式的和各種各樣的文化(A dominant culture takes over diverse cultures.),人們不再尊重傳統(tǒng)文化(lose respect older cultures),而傳統(tǒng)觀念最終成為歷史(consigned to history)。

　　商業(yè)和文化的接觸增多會(huì)加強(qiáng)一個(gè)國家的特征：

　　外來文化讓人們意識到自己文化的特點(diǎn)，從而更加注意維持這種文化;一種特殊文化會(huì)引起世界的關(guān)注，人們會(huì)更加注意保護(hù)。

　　專四作文范文

　　One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

　　When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities, in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these countries, aiding the conservation of their features.

　　While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.

　　As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.
