　　The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization. In the photo above, a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese handcraft in a museum. At the same time,it seems that the little handiwork is smiling as well.

　　In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper. One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization. Another reason that the future of China's ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government. Finally,the culture of China is buttressed and supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.

　　For China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi chuan, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interests overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture looks brighter and more secure than ever before.

　　中国古老的文化是人类文明的伟大财富之一。在上述照片中，一位外国女士正在一座博物馆中愉快地欣赏一件中国传统工艺品。与此同时，似乎这件工艺品也正在微笑。

　　在我看来，中国传统文化不但肯定能够存活，而且必将繁荣兴盛。首先，已经开始对中国传统文化的保存做出贡献的一个因素是其自身的商业化。其次，中国古老文化可被视为“安全”的另一个原因是中国政府做出的保护文化的积极努力。最后，中国文化得到越来越广泛的对中国及其传统感兴趣的国际上的扶持和支撑。

　　中国跟世界上其他快速发展的国家一样，年久的习俗和传统面临着消失在现代化阴影里的危险。如果太极拳、中国功夫或京剧永远从地球上消失，那将是不可估量的悲剧。幸运的是，由于成功的商业努力、政府坚定不移的支持和不断增长的海外兴趣，中国传统文化的将来会比过去任何时候更明朗、更安全。

　　道长点评

　　本文提出中国传统文化必将繁荣兴盛，并使用三点原因进行详细论证：1、中国文化自身的商业化发展;2、中国政府的积极努力;3、对中国文化感兴趣的国际支持。末段作者概括全文，坚定信心。

　　佳句拓展

　　Over the course of thousands of years, the Chinese people have created their own unique customs and traditions, and passed them on from one generation to the next.在几千年的历程中，中国人民创造了他们独特的习俗和传统，并把它们一代代传给后人。

　　In recent decades, however, some people have become increasingly concerned that China's cultural heritage could become marginalized or even disappear entirely. 然而最近几十年来，一些人已越来越担心中国的文化遗产可能会边缘化或者完全消失。

　　Whether through kung fu schools in New York, the United States or Chinese calligraphy exhibits at the Museum in Paris, France, many people around the world now have the chance to learn about China’s 5,000-year-old culture, ensuring that its reach and influence extend well beyond China’s own boarders.无论是通过美国纽约的武术学校，还是法国巴黎博物馆的书法展，现在世界上很多人都有机会了解中国五千年的文化。
