首先,什么是现代节日?
相对于传统节日,大家对现代节日的概念有点模糊。我想你们目前估计能想到的只有“双十一”了吧,这的确是现代节日之一。除此之外,其实还有很多,包括音乐节、美食节、动漫节、艺术节等。只要任何主题带上了一个“festival”,它就是现代节日。
接着,两者的差异性体现在哪些角度?
不管是传统节日还是现代节日,它们的核心关键词都是“节日”,为此,想要找到两者的差异性,你需要先拆分有关节日的角度。你可能会觉得角度拆分这一步有点难,但其实它有规律可找,目前你要做的就只是换算。
Festival=Events
节日虽然是节日,但它也是一场活动,为此,它的角度对等于活动的角度,而有关活动的角度再之前的推送已经有过拆分。
Activity的维度包括:
when/ where/ why/ who/ what/ how much/ how often/ how long/ organizer/ popularity/ history/ fee/ cost/ requirement/ regulations/origin/ type/ purpose/ theme etc.
现在我们就需要通过这些角度来寻找两者的差异性了。
从以上的角度来看,“传统节日和现代节日”的差异点主要存在于:
• History 历史
Traditional festivals date back hundreds of years; modern festivals only have a short history.
毋庸置疑,传统节日的历史悠长,底蕴深厚;现代节日则是追逐时尚潮流下的新产物。
• Purpose 目的
They are based more on religion or beliefs;modern festivals are more commercial.
传统节日多数是宗教意图;现代节日则以商业为目的。
• Who 参与者
Traditional festivals are celebrated with family; young people like to go to modern festivals with their friends.
传统节日一般都是以家人为主;现代节日则是以朋友为主。
• Requirements 要求
Compared to modern festivals, there are festivals many rituals in traditional festivals.
相比较现代节日而言,传统节日有更多的仪式和惯例。
• Theme 主题
Modern festivals have a theme such as music or food; traditional festivals don’t have a specific theme.
现代节日的主题性非常明确,比如音乐节、美食节;传统节日则没有特别具体的主题性。
有了以上的差异点,现在我们就可以来尝试回答问题了。
Question :
What are the differences between traditional festivals and modern festivals?
Answer :
I think the main difference is that festivals have become more commercial and the traditions and rituals have taken a back seat 处于次要地位. They have become more about having fun and indulging rather than spending quality time with loved ones.
Nowadays there are so many different festivals such as a music festival or food festivals and young people just want to go and hang out with their friends.
