前段時間，社會上就是否該恢復使用繁體字展開了激烈的討論。請你根據(jù)下列要點給某英文報紙評論欄目寫一篇文章，談談你的看法。

反對者認為：1. 繁體字字形優(yōu)美，包含了中華文化；2. 繁體字更容易辨認，漢字從繁到簡是一種退步。

支持者認為：1. 繁體字書寫煩瑣，難以適應現(xiàn)代社會的快節(jié)奏需要；2. 漢字從繁到簡是一種進步。

你的看法

注意：1. 用五句話，文章的開頭已給出，不計入總詞數(shù)；

2. 要求包含所有要點，可以適當增加細節(jié)，以使行文連貫。

Answer 1

【答案】

 

One possible version：

I’m very interested in the recent discussion over whether traditional Chinese characters should be used officially.

People who support the idea think that traditional Chinese characters look very beautiful, and contain valuable Chinese culture. Also, they think that traditional Chinese characters are easy to recognize and learn. In their opinion, simplified Chinese characters are a kind of regress.

On the other hand, those against the idea think that traditional Chinese characters are very hard to write and that simplified Chinese characters represent progress as they meet the needs of the fast-paced lifestyles of modern society.

As far as I’m concerned, it is a tendency for languages to become simpler. However, it is also necessary to keep our excellent Chinese culture. So the best way to kill two birds with one stone is that we should be able to recognize traditional Chinese characters but only required to write simplified ones.
