　　题目：

　　Tradition and modernization¹ are incompatible². One must choose between them.

　　传统和现代化是水火不容的。人们必须二者选一。

　　正文：

　　Considered as opposite directions, tradition and modernization have their certain reasons to be incompatible in some aspects. However, in my view it is our society's responsibility to harmonize tradition and modernization, since they both have their indispensable advantages.

　　Tradition is memory of an individual, a city or a nation. The amassed³ historical elements are combined by time into an endless treasure mine involving culture, arts, technology and so forth⁴.Tradition has long averted⁵ its function during this amassing⁶ progress, giving us experience, rules,ethos and morality. Based on traditional views, we are able to accept modern time and future. For instance, the traditional festival in China, Spring Festival, has played as a spiritual pillar of Chinese people. During that day, people will have vacation, returning home and sharing an annual dinner with family members. It is the only time, to many Chinese, when they can have an entire rest, only dropping into happiness and family. The social function of Spring Festival lays in diversified⁷ aspects which help people and the whole society to keep a healthy, stable attitude to their life and family. Other traditional elements have all their values, since they are familiar to a group of people, containing history and memories. The Greek architect, master of critical regionalism, Aghias Zonis claimed that people will feel dangerous without traditional and familiar elements, which cause them an environment of safety.

　　On the other hand, modernization is an inevitable⁸ trend of our human society. Consider about the past development happened dramatically from the Industrial Revolution, productivity has grew at a swift speed and changed our world into a totally different scene. During this time, traditional ethos and morality, as well as material elements, have been changed or even destroyed. For instance, in ancient time, women in China have very low social positions because they could do little work to produce welfare. But modern technology gave them opportunities to work as well as men in factories, companies and other social domains⁹. The turn from labor¹⁰ producing to intellectual producing helps the society to build equality between genders¹¹, therefore changing the social ethos and tradition a lot. Meanwhile, however, some excellent traditional welfare is also destroyed by modernization, including old buildings, urban sights and spiritual beliefs. For modern development, certain spaces and resources are needed, some of which are used by traditional elements. So removing such relics¹² have been an inevitable step for further development.
