I support the idea that the old buildings should be preserved because they are valuable for educational purpose and tourism.
我支持古建筑应保留的这一观点,因为它们仍然可用于教育目的和旅游价值。
An old building usually can serve as educational sites for kids to learn from the past and get to know the culture of the city, or as reference for students who study architecture.
古建筑通常可以作为教育地点供孩子们学习历史及了解这个城市的文化,或作为学习建筑学学生们的参考。
In addition, it also boosts the development of tourism, especially if the place is a historical heritage, which can bring a considerable income.
此外,它还能够促进旅游业的发展,尤其是作为一处历史遗产能够带来可观的收入。
And people have some places to go on weekends.
而且是周末人们可以前往的好去处。
So I don't think it's wise to erase the old buildings for the sake of the new ones.
所以我认为为了新的拆除古建筑并非明智之举。
