預測範文
The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization. In the photo above, a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese handcraft in a museum. At the same time,it seems that the little handiwork is smiling as well.
In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper. One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization. Another reason that the future of China's ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government. Finally,the culture of China is buttressed and supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.
For China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi chuan, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interests overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
參考譯文
中國古老的文化是人類文明的偉大財富之一。在上述照片中，一位外國女士正在一座博物館中愉快地欣賞一件中國傳統工藝品。與此同時，似乎這件工藝品也正在微笑。
在我看來，中國傳統文化不但肯定能夠存活，而且必將繁榮興盛。首先，已經開始對中國傳統文化的保存做出貢獻的一個因素是其自身的商業化。其次，中國古老文化可被視為“安全”的另一個原因是中國政府做出的保護文化的積極努力。最後，中國文化得到越來越廣泛的對中國及其傳統感興趣的國際上的扶持和支撐。
中國跟世界上其他快速發展的國家一樣，年久的習俗和傳統面臨著消失在現代化陰影裡的危險。如果太極拳、中國功夫或京劇永遠從地球上消失，那將是不可估量的悲劇。幸運的是，由於成功的商業努力、政府堅定不移的支持和不斷增長的海外興趣，中國傳統文化的將來會比過去任何時候更明朗、更安全。

佳句拓展
Over the course of thousands of years, the Chinese people have created their own unique customs and traditions, and passed them on from one generation to the next.在幾千年的歷程中，中國人民創造了他們獨特的習俗和傳統，並把它們一代代傳給後人。
In recent decades, however, some people have become increasingly concerned that China's cultural heritage could become marginalized or even disappear entirely. 然而最近幾十年來，一些人已越來越擔心中國的文化遺產可能會邊緣化或者完全消失。
Whether through kung fu schools in New York, the United States or Chinese calligraphy exhibits at the Museum in Paris, France, many people around the world now have the chance to learn about China’s 5,000-year-old culture, ensuring that its reach and influence extend well beyond China’s own boarders.無論是通過美國紐約的武術學校，還是法國巴黎博物館的書法展，現在世界上很多人都有機會了解中國五
