关于文化的英语作文

篇一：酒桌文化 The Culture of Drinking

    In the long history of China, drinking is an important part. We can say that the lives of Chinese people can not go on without drinking. People used to believe that drinking can narrow the distance between people. Many things have been decided or done over drink. Some people say think that there are no true friendship over drink. It's true, but we still can not deny that drinking is a good way to build relationship. All in all, drinking is not a bad thing, but we should control ourselves so that we won't be excessive drinking.
   在中国悠久的历史上，酒文化是很重要的一部分。可以说中国人的生活离不开喝酒，人们通常会觉得喝酒能拉近人与人之间的距离。很多事情能在酒桌上决定或解决。很多人认为，酒桌上产生不了真感情，他们也许是对的，但我们不可否认，喝酒是个很好的建立友谊的方式。总的来说，喝酒不全是坏事，但我们应该控制自己不过量饮酒。

篇二：山寨文化的兴起 The Rise of Shanzhai Culture

   The vast array of knockoff name-brand products, such as cell phones, DVDs, MP3 players, have made”shanzhai” the hottest word of the year. Now we wear shanzhai watches, talk through shanzhai cell phones, play shanzhai video games, use shanzhai computers, even watch shanzhai TV shows. once a term used before some electronic products to suggest a copycat version of inferior quality, shanzhai now suggests to many chinese creativity and trendiness. With the media all over the rise of shanzhai culture, public opinions are clearly divided.
   仿冒名牌产品繁多，如手机，DVD，MP3播放器，这些使得“山寨”成了一年中最热的词。现在我们带山寨手表，通过山寨手机交谈，玩山寨视频游戏，使用山寨电脑，甚至观看山寨电视节目。在使用一些电子产品时，山寨版意味着的质量低劣，山寨现在中国却是有创意和时尚的。随着山寨文化媒体的遍地兴起，公众的观点明确区分开来。
   Advocates invariably associate it with innovation, stylishness, the DIY spirit, open-mindedness and practicality, as shanzhai products often mix imitation with innovation – a similar skin but a different heart. The final products are usually more functional and much cheaper than the original. Besides, they respond to the market more swiftly and they are more considerate in design. Thanks to them, more people at the grassroots level can enjoy the benefit of modern technology.
   支持者总是把创新，时尚，DIY精神，开放性和实用性联系在一起，山寨产品往往混合模仿与创新——类似的外表但不同的核心。最终产品通常比原来的拥有更多的功能和更便宜。此外，他们对市场的反应更迅速，设计更周到。多亏了他们，更多在基层的人可以享受到现代科技带来的好处。
   However, other people, including myself, hold more reserved attitudes towards the shanzhai fever, for all the popularity it has won, a copycat is a copycat. The mockery of the prestige products not only steals their profits but also upsets market competition. Moreover, shanzhai products thrive on the current legal loopholes. Under the disguise of anti-dominance slogans, they make illegal profits by violating intellectual property rights and evading taxes. And to top it off, the so-called innovation is only senseless talk as true innovation always faces huge costs and potential failures, while plagiarism simply builds success on other people’s risks.
    然而，其他人，包括我自己，对山寨热持有更多的保留态度，因为它所获得的人气来说，山寨的就是山寨。对于产品声誉的嘲讽是山寨不仅窃取他们的利益，而且也扰乱了市场竞争。此外，山寨产品的蓬勃发展显示了现行法律的漏洞。抗优势口号的伪装下，他们通过侵犯知识产权和逃税来达到非法获利。而最糟糕的是，所谓的创新只是毫无意义的大话，因为真正的创新总是面临巨大的成本和潜在的故障，而抄袭只是建立在其他人成功的风险上。

篇三：Traditional Culture Won't Be Lost

   It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you can't help thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"
   Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not traditional, wearing in a way people couldn't imagine ten years ago. Modern people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading
and will be lost at last.
   Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the traditional culture should and would never be lost.
   Wouldn't you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old people.
   Wouldn't you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people around the world?
   So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional culture that people still treasure in heart.
   The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.
