An American girl in traditional Chinese costume
The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group. Undoubtedly, the costume has added oriental charm/glamour to her beautiful look/appearance/features.
What the picture conveys goes far beyond only/merely a new fashion trend. Instead, it carries cultural meanings/implications as well. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, a nations unique/distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization become irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.
It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous.
译文:
这幅生动描述了一位可爱的美国小女孩身穿传统的中国服装,面带甜蜜的微笑。她戴着具有某个中国少数民族服饰特征的发带、项链和其他装饰品。毫无疑问,这套服装为她美丽的外表增添了东方的魅力。
这幅所表达的远远不只是一种新的时尚潮流。反之,它具有文化内涵。神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实,显示了在某种程度上,一种文化可以被国际性地接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。换而言之,一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡,所以文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。
在我看来,我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时,我们很有必要推广世界文化,因为来自其他文化的观点,即使乍看起来相互矛盾或荒谬,但从长远看来,可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。然而,在我们面临不同文化时,应该充满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化,并使我们的世界丰富多元、五颜六色、充满活力。
