　　篇1

　　Many old building are protected by law because they are part of a nation&39;s history. However， some people think knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices. How important is it to maintain old buildings? Should history stand in the way of progress?

　　Old buildings sometimes conflicts with social advancement. Appealing as it is in the eyes of business people， tearing down old architect to make room for real-estate development is not a wise idea in many ways.

　　The primarily reason is that old buildings， like our native language， forms our cultural identity and keep a unique record the history of a country. From this aspect， old buildings are considered very valuable as one of the symbols of the culture of a nation. For instance， the traditional Chinese residence in Beijing， Siheyuan， are once seen as the remains of the Old World， and were destroyed by people shortly after the founding of People&39;s Republic of China. Until recently did the people and policy makers as well realize that it is an inexcusable and stupid idea to commit such a terrible deed because old buildings， once gone， are not restorable. But their economic values and aesthetic appeals have just caught the attention of Chinese people.

　　Moreover， old buildings， if planed and preserved properly， could coexist with modern real-estate development. In France， aged buildings bring millions of dollars of revenue for the government and amazed thousands of tourists. Yet no one thinks the high-rising office buildings and apartment buildings make the old architect a sore of the eye. By contrast， the new learn from the old， a fact that makes them more attractive.

　　We admit that not all old buildings should be treated equally and some of them do need to be torn down for various reasons such as safety and new buildings. However， we should not be too blind to see their value too. If only the real and practical factors are being considered， the country will be sorry for its loss in years to come.

　　As we have discussed， old buildings are part of a country&39;s history and are valuable in many ways. We should plan well and be wise enough to see their value. But the same time， we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old and the new coexist in harmony.

　　篇2

　　近年來，我們國家掀起了文物保護的浪潮。然而，在我看來，有些保護文物的措施不經濟，也不能達到保護文物的目的。

　　For example, towards some old houses, one of the common measures is to renovate them with new materials and make them look bright and luxurious. After that, the house owners are not allowed to live in these houses and they cannot sell them as well. The only purpose of these “new” houses is to be visited and be decorated. This kind of measure is not economical and unreasonable. For one thing, the house owners need to spend a lot of money to preserve the houses; for another, our traditional cultures featured at these houses cannot be spread effectively to others and the next generations. Thus, the measure made to preserve the cultural relics needed to improve.

　　比如，對於一些舊房子，一個很普遍的措施就是用新材料修復翻新，使它們看起來光鮮奢華。之後，屋主不允許住在裡面，也不能賣掉。這些“新”房子的唯一目的就是用來參觀和擺設。這種做法是不經濟的，不合理的。一方面，屋主為了儲存這些屋子需要花費大量的金錢;另一方面，這些房子所體現出來的傳統文化並不能有效地傳播給他人和下一代。因此，這種保護文物的做法有待改進。

　　Another example, concerning some famous buildings, our government spends a lot of money to renovate and preserve them and charges for the entrance fee. This kind of action to a large extent keeps people from visiting these famous buildings; doubtless, the spread of our traditional cultures is also limited.

　　另外一個例子，對於那些有名的建築，我們的政府花費大量的財富去修復和儲存他們，並且收取入場費。這種收取入場費的做法在很大程度上使得人們對這些建築望而卻步，毫無疑問，傳統文化的傳播也會受到制約。

　　Therefore, in order to spread our traditional cultures and preserve the cultural relics, our government needs to mend their measures. At the same time, people should enhance their awareness of protection of cultural relics and mend their manners.

　　因此，為了傳播傳統文化和保護文物，我們的政府需要修改他們的措施。同時，人們應該增強文物保護意識，檢點自己的行為。

　　篇3

　　As of 2005, China already has 31 natural landscape and historical sites have been declared as a world cultural heritage, when we are immersed in the world with joy and pride to share these, when almost no one stopped to think about those of us the future of the world's treasures.

　　As we know, thanks to its vast territory of China, it is such a vast territory that she has many different types of climatic conditions, only gave birth to the rich and colorful Chinese culture. However, the benefits will also have a negative role, the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is one such example. For thousands of years, our forefathers exhausted their life time in this great and deep caves, the knowledge and wisdom with brush condensate cast in each side of the wall, hoping that knowledge and wisdom to be immortalized. At that time, who had thought that one day these huge and magnificent works will be damage to the forces of nature. Mogao Grottoes is located in China's north-west, to connect the Eurasian continent in the Silk Road Trail, is a long road that the largest treasure. Despite a hundred years ago it had been stolen, but it damaged the biggest reason is that continental climate brought about by the disaster. Mongolia by the North to the high-pressure effects of climate Dunhuang region perennial drought, sandstorms frequent, annual precipitation is only more than 40 millimeters, while the annual evaporation is as high as more than 4.3 thousand millimeters, up to several thousand years of time, our Mogao Grottoes has been frequently attacked by the dust storms, coupled with long-term droughts, earthquakes and rain erosion of the outer wall of a cave once eroded, constantly thinning. To make matters worse, cave murals have begun to change color, from A, crisp and even off base.

　　From the 20th century, the beginning of the 40's, the Chinese people began to have a conscious act together to protect our great historical treasures. First, people have been built in the cliff face sand wall, but have little effect; later tried to dig anti-Shagou, soon to be filled sand. In recent years, we finally found the sand and sand control can be a good way. First of all, we in the sand and grass, the grass all the sand box can firmly fixed in place, after two kilometers to create a shelter belts, so that the effective regulation of regional climate. Scientists said that in this way can prevent nearly 80% of the sand into the Mogao internal.

　　In the protection of our precious world cultural heritage, we really made some encouraging progress, but it should not only be a temporary rescue works. These factors brought about by natural hazards, will no doubt continue, threats still exist for the Mogao Grottoes, for which efforts also need to last forever, generation after generation.

　　Dear friends, let us join hands together to protect our splendid ancient civilization. We may also slightly younger, but as long as we have a firm belief, jewels will shine forever. Our spirit will spread from one person to another person.

　　截止到2005年，在中國已有31處自然景觀和名勝古蹟被宣佈為世界文化遺產，當我們都沉浸在同世界一起分享這些欣喜和驕傲的時候，幾乎沒有人停下腳步來思考一下我們這些世界瑰寶的將來。

　　正如我們所知，中國得益於它的遼闊，正是這種地域遼闊使她擁有許多種不同的氣候條件，才孕育了中國豐富多彩的文化。但是，帶來好處的同時也會產生負面的作用，敦煌莫高窟就是一例。千百年來，我們的先輩耗盡自己一生的時光在這巨大而又幽深的洞穴裡，把知識和智慧用畫筆凝鑄在每一面牆上，希望這些知識和智慧得到永生。那個時候，誰又曾想到有一天這些浩大而輝煌的工程會被自然的力量損毀。莫高窟位於中國的西北部，處在連線歐亞大陸的絲綢之路的古道上，是那條漫漫長路上最大的寶藏。儘管在百年前它曾經被盜，但它損毀的最大原因是大陸性氣候所帶來的災害。受北來的蒙古高壓影響，敦煌地區常年氣候乾旱，風沙頻繁，年降水量僅僅四十多毫米，而年蒸發量卻高達四千三百多毫米，在長達幾千年的時間中，我們的莫高窟一直被頻繁的沙塵暴所侵襲，再加上長期的乾旱、地震以及雨水的沖刷，洞窟的外壁一次一次被侵蝕，不斷變薄。更糟糕的是，洞穴中的壁畫也開始變色、起甲、酥鹼甚至脫落。

　　從20世紀40年代開始，中國人民開始有意識地行動起來，共同保護我們偉大的歷史寶藏。人們先是在崖面上修築過防沙牆，但收效甚微;後來又試著挖防沙溝，不久也被沙土填平了。近年來，我們終於發現了可以防砂治沙的好方法。首先，我們在沙地上種草，這一個個草方格能把沙子牢牢固定在了原地，之後，又營造兩公里防護林帶，使區域性氣候得到有效調節。有關的科學家稱，這種方式可以阻止接近80%的沙子進入莫高窟內部。

　　在保護我們珍貴的世界文化遺產方面，我們確實取得了一些可喜的進展，但這不應只成為一個臨時性的拯救工程。這些自然因素所帶來的危害，將毫無疑問的一直延續，威脅對於莫高窟來說依然存在，為此所付出的努力也需一代一代永遠延續下去。

　　親愛的朋友們，讓我們攜起手來，共同保護我們璀璨的古代文明。我們也許還略顯年輕，但只要我們有一個堅定的信念，jewels will shine forever. 我們的這種精神會傳播開來，從一個人到另一個人……
