Tradition and Modernization (IV)
【彻底支持现代化而反对传统】
As mankind enters the 21st century, our world is undergoing drastic transformations. For China, a burning issue is the need for modernization, especially when compared with developed countries in the world, which already completed their modernization process decades ago. By definition, modernization involves the loss of traditions and there is nothing sentimental about that.
The modern era differs from all previous eras in terms of the spectacular development of science and technology, which has resulted in revolutionary advances in many spheres of our life. Although many would deplore the demise of many traditional forms of dramas and operas, we now have TV and movies that provide a much richer diversity of entertainment and artistic experiences. Instead of going to libraries to borrow books, we can now have massive amounts of information on the Internet. Modernization, together with its advanced discoveries and inventions, has indeed changed and improved human life.
Each generation faces new challenges to which we have to search for new solutions. As conventional sources of energy like fossil fuels are becoming rapidly depleted, we have to explore for cutting-edge technologies of solar and wind energy. For many lethal diseases, only modern genetics can come up with effective therapies. In search for new alternatives, we should be equipped with pioneering spirits, committed to innovations and breakthroughs. In this sense, indulgence in the past may pose as a burden impeding the pace of modernization.
A nation living merely in the past is hopeless. Just as countless species have become extinct in the process of biological evolution, many traditional legacies have to disappear as human societies develop. The purpose of modernization is not to devastate the past, but to create new and better prospects. Without modernization, there would be no progress and obviously stagnation is a state that no one likes.

传统与现代化
【参考译文】
随着人类进入21世纪，我们的世界正经历着翻天覆地的变革。对于中国而言，一个迫在眉睫的问题就是必须进行现代化建设，尤其是当我们将中国与那些在数十年前就已经完成了现代化进程的世界发达国家相比，情况更是如此。从其定义上看，现代化无可避免地涉及到传统的消逝，而对此人们大可不必多愁善感。
“现代”这个时代，之所以有别于以前所有的时代，就在于科技蔚然壮观的飞速发展，导致了人类生活在诸多领域中实现了革命性的进步。虽然对于很多传统的戏剧与歌剧形式的消亡，许多人会痛心疾首，但我们现在拥有电视及电影，可以为我们提供远为丰富多样的娱乐和艺术体验。我们已全无必要到图书馆去借书，只要登录互联网，就会有海量的信息扑面而来。现代化，凭借着它无数先进的创造与发明，确实在极大地改变并改善着我们的生活。
每一代人都会面临全新的挑战，而我们必须要针对这些全新的挑战，去寻找全新的解决之道。随着化石燃料这类传统能源形式的锐减，我们必须去探索和开发像太阳能和风能等尖端的技术。对于许多致命性疾病来说，只有现代遗传学才能研发出有效的疗法。在寻找全新的替代方案时，我们应该用勇于探求的先驱精神来武装自己，致力于创新和突破。从这个意义上讲，沉湎于过去，会构成一种负担和包袱，阻碍现代化的进程。
一个生活在过去和回忆中的国家是没有希望的。正如难以计数的物种在生物进化过程中不可避免地趋于灭绝那样，许多传统遗产也只能随着人类社会的发展而消失。现代化的目的不是要去摧毁过去，而是要创造全新和更好的未来。没有现代化，就不可能有人类进步。毫无疑问，停滞不前、死水一潭的状态，谁都不会喜欢。
