  Purpose of festivals and celebrations

  Q: Why do you think festivals are important events in the working year?

  Answer:

  Yeah. It’s very important for two reasons.For the country, it’s a time to remember our cultural origin and our historical past.The whole country celebrates our root and it’s very inspiring.We become so proud of our past.I guess that’s why festivals are important.

  For the individual, festivals give us a chance for relaxation as we often have a few days off. It’s a time of fun, meeting friends, entertainment.So after that we feel like a new man.In a sense, holidays restore our balance between work and leisure.That’s also why we need festivals for China.

  Q: Would you agree that the original significance of festival is often lost today?

  構(gòu)思:

  節(jié)日的初衷: 慶祝傳統(tǒng), 承上啟下, 結(jié)束也是開始

  現(xiàn)在的節(jié)日: 人們繁忙, 感覺不到開始和結(jié)束的意義,過完節(jié),馬上就再次投入到工作中, 有些單位甚至連節(jié)假日都加班.人們也不在那么感動傳統(tǒng),倒是好好的利用節(jié)日放松了一下,吃吃喝喝,購物,節(jié)日從tradition象 consumption過渡.更像是給了人們一個借口: 1.放下工作 2. 奢侈享受 3. 見見好久不見的重要的人.這么講的話, 節(jié)日也挺好的.

  Answer:

  I think the original significance for festivals are to celebrate our tradition.It's an end to the old year and the beginning of a new year.So it's a connecting day.

  But today,people are so busy, they're under so much pressure and they no longer feel the transition between the old and the new year.Some companies even ask their employees to come in on holidays.So many people begin to feel that festivals are just as common as the other days.

  People no longer take the opportunities of festivals to honor their tradition,but go shopping,go to restaurant to entertain instead.So I think tradition is out,consumption is in.Festivals provide people such an excuse to put down their work,to spend money and be extravagant (奢侈的), and to meet people that they don't have time for during the working year.

  So in this sense, even the original significance is lost, festivals are still exciting.

  Q: Do you think that new festivals will be introduced in the future? What kind?

  構(gòu)思:

  世界變化快, 人們擁抱新生活, 世界西方東方交融,西方人開始吃餃子, 過春節(jié); 東方人開始互相送巧克力和玫瑰花, 過情人節(jié).人們開始嘗試新東西,可能將來也會考慮新節(jié)日.這樣精彩的節(jié)日不再是national, 而是international,這樣不是很酷嗎?聽說,有些人今年開始過 男人節(jié) 8.3, 很有趣, 有點傻,但是不得不說也是一個新鮮的嘗試.

  Answer:

  The world is changing so fast.People are embracing new lifestyles as East and West come together.Westerners begin to eat dumplings with chopsticks to celebrate Chinese Spring Festival. And Chinese young people exchange chocolates and roses on Valentine's day. So, you see? People are experimenting with new life patterns.

  And it's quite possible that new festivals may be invented or introduced.Wouldn't that be cool?What kind? Well, I don't know for sure because it's the future right?But I heard this year, in my country, some people celebrated the men's day, which is on August the third.It's dorky. (書呆子) But it's new and exciting, right.Will it last? I don't know.All I know is that this is an interesting attempt.

  Festivals and media

  What role does the media play in festivals, do you think?

  構(gòu)思:

  宣傳

  營造氛圍

  提供娛樂, 很多的表演和晚會

  幫助人們在閑暇之余,打發(fā)時間.

  Answer:

  I guess media, radio, TV station and maybe, the Internet are doing much publicity(宣傳) during the festivals. So they can create an intense atmosphere of “Hey,everybody, festivals are here. Start celebrating!” And what’s more, they put on lots of entertainment shows on different channels to help people kill time in their freer life.So I guess, these are the functions of media around holiday season.

  Do you think it’s good or bad to watch festivals on TV?

  構(gòu)思:

  好, 因為可以足不出戶看到其它的地方是怎么過節(jié)的,不好, 與其說當觀眾, 不如當演員,參與才有樂趣.天天在家看電視,人會在節(jié)日過程中迅速變老的.走出去,呼吸新鮮空氣, 全家旅游,北方的到南方過一個不一樣的節(jié)日,這種memory多珍貴.

  Answer:

  I guess it’s good in one aspect that you can see how others are celebrating it without having to travel.

  But watching others have fun is not as cool as going out and having fun yourself.Take you family, go on a vacation. If you’re from the north, spend New Year in the warm south. Some of the fondest memories will be created.

  Breathe the fresh air is better than watch TV in a closed room.So participating in the festivals is more exciting than watching it on TV.

  How may globalization affect different festivals around the world?

  構(gòu)思:

  共享, 傳播, 但是好像少了diversity 多樣性,出門旅游, 到了哪里都一樣, 都是在過圣誕節(jié), 少了點差異性. 有點遺憾.另外一方面, 通過共享, 增進了民族的了解,把好的節(jié)日傳統(tǒng)傳播到全世界的各個角落, 大家都有機會快樂, 也很好.

  Answer:

  I think, on the one hand, globalization is generalizing(統(tǒng)一化) festivals around the world. So when you go to China, Christmas, you go to Italy, Christmas, you go to US,hey, guess what, Christmas. Everywhere is the same. That’s a bit dull, isn’t it?

  Because we still need variety and diversity in cultural tradition and celebration. So I guess this is a negative effect of globalization.

  But, on the other hand, since globalization helps with the sharing of culture. Good festivals are brought to all corners of the world and the fun can be shared across the human race. Everybody is happy, right. So this is a positive influence.
