In modern times, most people seem to have forgotten the original meaning of traditional holidays. During today's holiday periods, the common consensus is that people only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
圣诞节:从耶稣诞生的庆祝活动演变成欢乐的节日 — 购物、收送礼物、装饰房屋、与家人享受晚餐,期盼圣诞节是作为假期而非宗教节日
非宗教和更具有民族主义的节日 — 例如“盖伊·福克斯之夜”(Guy Fawkes Night),最初是纪念一位天主教徒用火药暗杀议会,现在人们生篝火、看烟花、到当地公园参加大型活动,乐趣和欢庆代替了反思成为主要的目的
└ 宗教和传统节日已经从传统习俗演变成更加欢乐的节日

家庭也在传递宗教节日的深刻意义方面发挥作用,而篝火之夜、万圣节等更具历史意义的节日也是如此( ← 儿童很小的时候就知道这些节日背后的故事、神话和传说)

It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops. Technology and traditional cultures are incompatible. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
工业革命前,世世代代的英国家庭都生活在同一个区域 → 有很深的根源于共同的习俗、信念和家庭纽带的认同感 ← 与祖先的土地有牢固的联系
工业革命后,运输、通讯和制造业的迅速发展 → 使家庭迅速大规模地迁移( ← 到城市找工作) → 小区居住着通勤的人 → 他们与所居住的土地几乎没有任何联系,那些对祖先很重要的中世纪风俗习惯在他们看来只剩下最模糊的概念
└ 推动发达国家工业化的科技进步导致了传统生活方式的消失
Key words
the advances in technology; drive industrialization in developed countries; contribute to; extinction of certain traditional ways of life; before the Industrial Revolution; generations of British families; the same village communities; strong ties; ancestral land; a profound sense of identity; root; shared; family ties; take hold; rapid developments; a rapid and massive migration; head toward; swelling cities; in search of work; be inhabited by; commuters; have very little ties to the land; have only the faintest ideas of; the medieval customs; forebears

仍有一些亚马孙热带雨林深处的部落的人们从未接触过手机、笔记本电脑,甚至从未见过20世纪的蒸汽织布机;这些部落依然像数万年以前一样以采集狩猎为生;孩子们被传授的古老技能与几千年前祖先们被传授的相同
其他传统文化通过适应而非隔离的方式生存下来 — (非洲大陆的农业社区,接受了高科技通信技术;跳过固定电话,直接进入手机网络 → 现代的安卓或苹果手机让普通农民可以获得天气预报、农作物的市场价格信息)
└ 传统文化依然蓬勃发展,没有受到工业技术革命的影响
