任是流行也精彩

翻开畅销书，刀光剑影，生死离别；

Open the best seller, sword, life and death;

打开电视机，俊男美女，恩怨情愁；

Turn on the TV, handsome men and beautiful women;

路过音像店，振耳欲聋，爱到死休；

Pass by the audio and video store, deafening, love to die;

当今的我们正被一大批现实文化所包围，各类卡通、韩剧、时装、广告正铺天盖地向我们袭来。我们应如何应对？

Today, we are surrounded by a large number of real culture, and all kinds of cartoons, Korean dramas, fashion and advertisements are coming to us. What should we do?

我认为我们应肯定流行文化，并指引其走向文明、健康、向上，使其成为时代的经典。

I think we should affirm popular culture and guide it to be civilized, healthy and upward, so as to make it a classic of the times.

为什么要肯定流行文化？我认为任何一种文化都是当代人们的社会心理及审美要求的反映。如武侠小说的风靡，反映了在世态炎凉冷漠的速度时代，人们对“侠”的理想；在对偶像们的疯狂崇拜中，折射出随着人们生活质量提高对外在美的追求及向往；在世界名曲进入广告中，其实也表明了对高雅音乐影响力的认同。也许你对这些文化不以为然，认为“古筝”“琵琶”比吉他高雅，世界名著比言情小说深刻，捐躯将士比偶像高尚。诚然，这些都没有错，胆当今是21世纪，顺应时代潮流，跟上世界信息化步伐是中国融于世界的前提。是的，流行文化是没有传统文化那样经典，但否认流行文化是一定错误的。流行文化的存在我们必须接受，并肯定其存在的意义。

Why should we affirm popular culture? I think any culture is a reflection of the social psychology and aesthetic requirements of the contemporary people. For example, the popularity of martial arts novels reflects people's ideal of "Chivalry" in the era of indifferent speed; in the crazy worship of idols, it reflects the pursuit and yearning for beauty with the improvement of people's quality of life; in the advertising of world famous music, it also shows the recognition of the influence of elegant music. Maybe you don't think much of these cultures. You think that "guzheng" and "Pipa" are more elegant than guitar, world famous works are more profound than romance novels, and the sacrifice of soldiers is more noble than idols. It is true that there is nothing wrong with all of these. Bravery today is the 21st century. It is the premise for China to integrate into the world to conform to the trend of the times and keep up with the pace of world informatization. Yes, pop culture is not as classic as traditional culture, but it is wrong to deny pop culture. We must accept the existence of popular culture and affirm its significance.

流行了，必定会引来糟粕。而我们不能因为玉有瑕而斥其为石头。应给予其适当的指引。

If it's popular, it's bound to bring dross. And we can't call jade a stone for its flaws. Appropriate guidance should be given.

武侠小说中的刀光剑影颇为暴力血腥，但其中的“侠”精神我们应发扬。其实我本人也是武侠迷，我以为金庸小说这样惩恶扬善，坚毅不屈，很能感染青少年不时奋进，行善帮弱。

Swords and swords in martial arts novels are quite violent and bloody, but the spirit of "Chivalry" should be carried forward. In fact, I'm also a martial arts fan. I think Jin Yong's novels are so persistent and indomitable that they can infect young people to strive from time to time and do good and help the weak.

由武侠小说我们可以得出其它的指引方式。如卡通的流行，中国人应创造出属于自身民族特色的道德育性的卡通片给儿童看。如人们所担心的时装T台热，可以在居委会举办“老人T台秀”等丰富老人生活，且让年青人懂得只有岁月考验的青春才是美的真谛。

From martial arts novels, we can get other guidance methods. For example, with the popularity of cartoon, Chinese people should create their own moral education cartoon to show children. If people are worried about the fashion T-stage fever, they can hold "old people T-stage show" in the neighborhood committee to enrich the old people's life, and let the young people know that only the youth tested by the years is the true meaning of beauty.

小学时看孙悟空的穿云入雨，上天入地，也曾决心惩妖除魔护正义。

When I was in primary school, I saw Sun Wukong go through the clouds and rain, and go to heaven and earth. I was determined to punish demons and protect justice.

初中时，看《天龙八部》的乔峰顶天立地地、精忠为民，心想要做个大义凛然的中国人，凭着胸中的豪气，拜读了岳王爷的忠肝义胆，品读了林则徐的“苟利国家生死已（以）”的毅然。

When he was in junior high school, Qiao Feng, who watched the eight parts of Tianlong, stood firm and devoted to the people, thought that he would be a righteous Chinese. With his pride, he read the loyalty and courage of Lord Yue, and read Lin Zexu's perseverance of "to benefit the life and death of the country".

高中的我，对流行更是保着一种积极的心态，在纷聚的流行中品出一份时代的韵味，剔除一份糟粕的瑕疵。

In high school, I keep a positive attitude towards fashion. I try to taste the charm of the times and eliminate the defects of dross.

任是流行也精彩。春秋的赛龙舟、包粽子转为端午的习俗，宋元的柳叶眉，水蛇腰成为中国人的审美情趣。流行只要经过时间的考验也能褪（蜕）变为每个人心中的经典。

No matter how popular it is, it's wonderful. In the spring and Autumn period, dragon boat racing and zongzi making became the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. In the song and Yuan Dynasties, willow leaf eyebrows and water snake waist became the aesthetic taste of Chinese people. As long as fashion passes the test of time, it can also fade into a classic in everyone's mind.

何不怀着积极的心态、创新的精神及严肃的态度去审视当今的流行？让它也成为世界多彩文化的一抹“中国红”？

Why not take a positive attitude, innovative spirit and a serious attitude to examine the current fashion? Let it also become a "Chinese red" of the world's colorful culture?
