1、第1頁(yè)Text 第2頁(yè)Text Chinese or Western, its a time to relax 1 Its that time of the year when the world seems tobe caught in a trance the trance of end-of-yearcelebrations. End-of-year, I said.2 The problem seems to be exactly that. Why should we inChina refer to the week between December 24 and 31 as th

2、eend of the year when ours (according to the lunar calendar) isat least a month away?第3頁(yè)Text 3 We do so apparently because Christmas and New Yearhave become global festivals, not because they (especiallyChristmas) are essentially Western in nature and spirit, butbecause we can relax during those few

3、 days.4 Nevertheless, some scholars and students have expressedconcern over the increasing influence of Christmas onoriental, particularly Chinese, culture. Their fears may bejustified to a certain extent. In fact, we Chinese do seem toattach a lot more time and attention to Christmas today thanwe d

4、id even a couple of decades ago.第4頁(yè)Text 5 For good or bad, the world has possibly undergone morechanges in the past two decades than it did in the past twocenturies.

5、h other to form a truly globalvillage. Television, we thought, was the last uniting factor tillwe got a feel for the Internet.第5頁(yè)Text 6 All these changes have made us take a different lookat the world beyond and our home within. Nothing comeswithout a rider in this global market. If we want to be pa

6、rt ofthe dazzle and comfort that the West is known for, we hadbetter accept some of its anomalies, too. This is not to saythat festivals mean something else to the West.第6頁(yè)Text 7 Be it on the mainland or in the highly developed West or inthe poorest of societies, a festival carries the same meaning.

7、People across the world celebrate them with their family andfriends. The basic concept is the same too, sharing a feast ora humble meal (with a few drinks in some societies like oursand the West).第7頁(yè)Text 8 We celebrate an occasion to vent our feelings, to relax andenjoy a break from the everyday sku

8、lduggery that life in thesetimes has become. Its apparently no different from the breakour ancestors enjoyed from the mundane affairs of their dailylives.第8頁(yè)Text 9 Most of the world follows the Gregorian calendar, includingus, in their day-to-day lives. So the festivals and specialevents in that cal

9、endar are bound to influence us. That we,like many South, Southeast Asian, Middle East and perhapssome indigenous American people, follow the lunar calendarfor our festivals is a different matter altogether.第9頁(yè)Text 10 We cannot afford to be left untouched by thefestive spirit of the West, which does

10、nt meanwe follow the West blindly. Not everything abouttheir culture may be good, but decadence is notthe sole preserve of the West. No culture in theworld is free of decadence and that includesChinese culture.第10頁(yè)Text 11 So the problem is not Western culture, orwhat we generally associate with it.

11、The problemis those who are blinded by everything Western.We have to find out why more and moreChinese, especially the youngsters, feel at onewith Western festivals as much as they do withthe Chinese ones. But thankfully our festivalshave lost none of their charm. And here iswhere the alarm bells so

12、unded by scholars andstudents come in.第11頁(yè)Text 12 I can understand the zeal of these people.They want to conserve our culture, and thatdefinitely doesnt make them what we generallyrefer to as conservatives. They have a point.But they, or for that matter anybody else, cannotsave any society from the

13、influence of a worldgetting smaller by the day.第12頁(yè)Text 13 So instead of trying to shut our eyes andears to Western festivals, we should acceptthe goodness they offer and practise what theystand for. And lets not forget that Jesus was notborn in the West but the East (the Middle East, tobe precise),

14、 and he preached love for mankindand help for the poor.第13頁(yè)Text 不論是中國(guó)節(jié)日還是西方節(jié)日，節(jié)日是我們放松時(shí)候 1 每年這個(gè)時(shí)候，整個(gè)世界好像都陷入了一個(gè)迷狂 人們狂熱地進(jìn)行著歲末慶賀活動(dòng)。我說(shuō)是歲末。 2 問(wèn)題就出在這兒。為何我們中國(guó)人要把12月24日到31 日這一周作為歲末來(lái)慶賀，而我們自己歲末（按照陰歷） 最少還有一個(gè)月才到呢？第14頁(yè)Text 3 我們這么做，顯然是因?yàn)槭フQ節(jié)和元旦已經(jīng)成了全球性 節(jié)日，并不是因?yàn)樗鼈儯ㄓ绕涫鞘フQ節(jié)）在本質(zhì)上和精神 上主要代表了西方文化，而是因?yàn)樵谶@幾天里我們能好好放 松一下。 4 不過(guò)，圣

15、誕節(jié)對(duì)于東方文化，尤其是中國(guó)文化影響與 日俱增，對(duì)此，一些學(xué)者和學(xué)生們表示擔(dān)憂。從某種程度上 講，他們憂慮是有道理。確實(shí)，與幾十年前相比，現(xiàn)在 中國(guó)人花在圣誕節(jié)上時(shí)間和精力似乎要多很多。第15頁(yè)Text 5 不論是好是壞，世界在過(guò)去二十多年間所經(jīng)歷改變可 能比過(guò)去兩百年間所經(jīng)歷還要多。為了讓彼此間聯(lián)絡(luò)得更 緊密，營(yíng)造出一個(gè)真正地球村，我們消耗了更多資源， 燒掉了更多能源，造成了更多污染，滅殺了更多動(dòng)植 物。過(guò)去，我們一直把電視看作是連接全世界終極伎倆， 直到我們了解了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，才發(fā)覺(jué)事實(shí)并非如此。第16頁(yè)Text 6 全部這些改變都讓我們用另外一個(gè)眼光來(lái)對(duì)待外面世 界以及我們自己家園。在這個(gè)全球

16、市場(chǎng)中，得到任何東西 都是要付出代價(jià)。假如我們想擁有西方世界那著名眩目 而舒適生活，我們也必須接收西方文化中一些異常事 物。當(dāng)然，這并不是說(shuō)節(jié)日對(duì)于西方人來(lái)說(shuō)有著不一樣意 義。第17頁(yè)Text 7 不論是在中國(guó)大陸，還是在高度發(fā)達(dá)西方國(guó)家，抑或 是世界上最貧窮社會(huì)，節(jié)日承載著相同意義。世界各地 人們和家人、朋友一起慶賀節(jié)日。節(jié)日基本概念是一樣 ，就是大家分享一頓盛宴或是一餐便飯（在西方或是我們 國(guó)家里，人們會(huì)小酌幾杯）。第18頁(yè)Text 8 我們慶賀節(jié)日，是為了釋放情感，放松身心，是為了從 當(dāng)代生活爾虞我詐中擺脫出來(lái)，得到片刻安寧。顯然， 這和我們祖先從日常俗事中尋求解脫是一回事兒。第19頁(yè)T

17、ext 9 世界上多數(shù)國(guó)家在日常生活中采取格列高利歷，中國(guó)也 是如此。所以這個(gè)歷法中節(jié)日和特殊事件注定會(huì)影響到我 們。而我們，和許多南亞、東南亞、中東，或許還有一些美 國(guó)土著居民一樣，依據(jù)陰從來(lái)過(guò)節(jié)，而這又完全是另外一回 事兒了。第20頁(yè)Text 10 對(duì)于西方節(jié)日氣氛無(wú)動(dòng)于衷，這我們做不到，但這也 并不意味著我們要盲目跟風(fēng)。西方文化不全都是好，但同 時(shí)，頹廢東西也不是西方文化所獨(dú)有。世界上沒(méi)有一個(gè) 文化能免于頹廢，中國(guó)文化也不例外。第21頁(yè)Text 11 所以，問(wèn)題并不在于西方文化，也不在于那些我們通常 和西方文化聯(lián)絡(luò)在一起東西。問(wèn)題出在那些唯西方馬首是 瞻人身上。為何越來(lái)越多中國(guó)人，尤其是

18、中國(guó)年輕 人，對(duì)于西方節(jié)日和中國(guó)節(jié)日一樣怡然自得，我們應(yīng)該找出 其中原因。好在我們自己節(jié)日并沒(méi)有失去它們風(fēng)采。 而正是在這一刻，我們學(xué)者和學(xué)生們敲響了警鐘。第22頁(yè)Text 12 我能夠了解這些人熱情。他們想保護(hù)我們文化，就 這點(diǎn)而言，他們絕對(duì)不是我們通常所說(shuō)保守派。他們觀 點(diǎn)有一定道理。不過(guò)在這件事情上，他們和其它人一樣， 無(wú)法使任何社會(huì)免受日益變小世界影響。第23頁(yè)Text 13 所以，我們不應(yīng)該對(duì)西方節(jié)日視而不見(jiàn)、充耳不聞， 相反，我們應(yīng)該取其精華，去實(shí)踐這些節(jié)日所提倡德行。 我們不要忘了，耶穌誕生于東方（確切地說(shuō)，是中東），而 不是在西方，我們也應(yīng)該記住他要我們熱愛(ài)全人類，扶貧助 弱。
