　　2010-2016中国艺术团体赴美演出及国内上映的美国电影数量

　　(一)预测范文

　　It is apparent from the line graph that the number of Chinese art groups performing in the U.S. and American movies shown in China both increased between 2010 and 2016. During the six years, the data of Chinese art groups performing in the United States jumped from 100 to 460, whereas the statistics of American films shown in our country has been on a steady rise from 50 to 180, a rise of 130.

　　Firstly, the fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. Secondly, a nation’s unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.

　　It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world multidimensional, colorful and vigorous.

　　从曲线图中显而易见，中国艺术团体赴美演出和国内上映的美国电影数量从2010年至2016年均在增长。在此六年之中，中国艺术团体赴美演出的数量从100场增加到460场，而国内上映的美国电影数量从50部增长到180部，增长了130部。

　　首先，神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实表明，在某种程度上一种文化可以在国际范围内被接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。其次，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，所以日益频繁的文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。

　　在我看来，我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们很有必要推广世界文化，因为来自其他文化的观点，即使乍看起来相互矛盾甚至很荒谬，但从长远看来，可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。然而，在我们面临不同文化时，应该充满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化，并使我们的世界丰富多元、多姿多彩、充满活力。
