Western Customs 西方風俗
Nowadays,there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step,thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day,April Fool’s Day,etc.Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well.Therefore,in my opinion,it’s a normal phenomenon s well as a necessary trend.
現在，有一種現象是，西方的風俗習慣在東方一步一步地蔓延，使許多生活在大城市的居民喜歡在圣誕節、四月愚人節等西方節日。這種現象表明，世界人民正在逐漸接近，世界也變得越來越小。因此，在我看來，這是一種正常現象，也是一種必然趨勢。
First of all,it shows that we Chinese have become much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs,which are opposite our living.Looking back on the history,we can find the answer to why our China was very poor and weak in the 1800’s.Yes,the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us,and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched.So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves.Of course,festivals are just the beginning.
首先，這說明我們中國人已經變得更加開放，而不是依附于一些非常古老的風俗習慣，而這正是我們生活的反面。回顧歷史，我們可以找到答案，為什么我們的中國是非常貧窮和薄弱的1800年代。是的，答案是，我們關閉自己，不要讓其他國家知道我們，這使我們在一個非常艱難的道路，我們遭受了許多戰爭，許多歐洲國家推出。所以我認為這是必要的，以接受其他習俗，而不是關閉自己。當然，節日只是一開始。
What’s more,the Open and Reform Policy results in this.So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy.Since we took the policy into practice,our country is developing with a rapid speed.No doubt it is an essential trend.(www.yingyuzuowen.cn)
更為開放和改革的政策結果。所以我想說，這是一個偉大的成就的政策。既然我們采取了政策，我國正迅速發展。毫無疑問這是一個基本趨勢。
Last but not the least,we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners.We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other’s customs and manners.And more misunderstandings can be avoided as well.
最后但并非最不重要的，我們可能會越來越接近不僅我們家的朋友，但也有許多外國人。我們不能因為不了解對方的風俗習慣而感到尷尬。也可以避免更多的誤解。
To sum up,the trend has its great advantage to a certain extent.However,if we admire the western customs too much,it will be a disadvantage because China is our own country,all of us should enjoy a patriotic heart.Wish in the near future,we can see the situation that westerners are enjoying themselves on the Spring Festival.
總之，這一趨勢在一定程度上具有很大的優勢。但是，如果我們對西方的風俗習慣過多，這會是一個不利因素，因為中國是我們自己的國家，我們都應該享有一個愛國的心。在不久的將來，我們可以看到西方人在春節享受自己的情況。
