　　The last decade has witnessed an intriguing phenomenon that people are paying more and more attention to traditional Chinese culture. Their bookshelves are packed with books interpreting ancient Chinese wisdom, depicting its brilliant history and fascinating historic figures. What’s more, suggestions that Chinese classics be made a compulsory course have been made. Two factors may account for people’s up-surging interest. To begin with, tremendous curiosity is aroused by those pending history mysteries of hundreds or even thousands of years. Furthermore, people come to realise that ancient Chinese culture serves as a gold mine from which inexhaustible lessons can be learned and put into practice to solve the current problems.

　　長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)，人們一直對(duì)市區(qū)公園是否應(yīng)該收門(mén)票的話(huà)題爭(zhēng)論不休。一些人認(rèn)為市區(qū)公園是用納稅人的錢(qián)建立起來(lái)的，是供人們休閑、娛樂(lè)的公共場(chǎng)所，因此應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)的。另一方面，還有一些人稱(chēng)，考慮到中國(guó)人口眾多，公民責(zé)任意識(shí)淡薄的情況，一旦免費(fèi)開(kāi)放市區(qū)公園，這些公園會(huì)管理不善，將不可避免地受到損壞。綜合考慮兩種觀(guān)點(diǎn)，我較認(rèn)同后者。可以確定的是市區(qū)公園免費(fèi)開(kāi)放要與經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展情況相適應(yīng)，因?yàn)檫@需要財(cái)政的支持。因此，以中國(guó)現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)濟(jì)水平，免費(fèi)開(kāi)放市區(qū)公園的目標(biāo)要逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)。

　　精彩譯文

　　The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time. On the one hand, some people claim that urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free. On the other hand, some others maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged. When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to the latter view. It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support. Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized step by step.

　　生氣蓬勃，充滿(mǎn)活力，豐富多彩的上海是現(xiàn)代中國(guó)的縮影。雖然上海的文化遺跡不能與

　　北京媲美，但是上海迷人的城市風(fēng)貌，風(fēng)格各異的萬(wàn)國(guó)建筑為這座城市注入了無(wú)限的魅力。今日之上海，已經(jīng)成為享譽(yù)中外的國(guó)際大都市。

　　漫步在這座日新月異的現(xiàn)代大都市里，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)許多精彩的歷史亮點(diǎn)，隱現(xiàn)在眾多摩天大樓背后的是上海發(fā)展變化的軌跡。它們記述了上海自十九世紀(jì)末開(kāi)埠以來(lái)，尤其是新中國(guó)成立以后，是如何迅猛發(fā)展的。

　　譯文內(nèi)容：

　　Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city - the very epitome of modern China. Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own. Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.

　　A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past. Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai. They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.
