10. My Views of the Ban on Firecrackers
我对禁放鞭炮的看法
Most of us may still hold a happy memory in our minds: when we were young, the Spring Festival was celebrated with the company of the flaming sparks and the loud explosions of firecrackers.
我们许多人脑海里仍然残留着这个美好的回忆:童年时的春节是在鞭炮闪闪的火花和轰隆隆的爆炸声中度过的。
But because of the numerous disasters caused by them, governments in some big cities have completely banned the firecrackers in the downtown areas.
但是由于鞭炮所带来的无尽的灾难,许多大城市已经禁止在城区燃放鞭炮。
Some people are sad about this decision. They argue that they will lose the tradition of the Spring Festival. Regardless of the fires and the damage to human bodies caused by firecrackers, they only focus on the pleasure firecrackers can bring about.
对于这个决定,有的人非常难过,他们认为这样会失去春节的传统。他们不考虑鞭炮所带来的火灾和对人体的伤害,一味地强调鞭炮所带来的乐趣。
With the development of the modern society, more and more changes will take place in our lives, some of which may be great challenges against the traditions, but we should support the government's policy under the consideration of the whole society. What's more, upon stepping into the new century we should celebrate the Spring Festival in a more civilized way .
随着现代社会的发展,我们的生活会发生越来越多的变化,其中一些变化对我们的传统提出了挑战,但是,我们应支持政府出于全社会利益而制定的政策。并且,在步入新世纪之际,我们应该采取更加文明的方式来庆祝春节
