当传统遇上创新 Tradition and Innovation 大学英语作文 There is a vivid saying which says “If tradition can be likened to the roots and trunk of a tree, innovation is its leaves and fruits.”一句非常生动的话语这样说：＂如果传统可以被比作树木的根，那么创新就是它的树叶和果实。＂I quite applaud this simile. From my perspective, tradition and innovation are doomed to coexist perpetually. First and foremost, tradition is a solid foundation for innovation, with abundant nutrition we can absorb, such as scientific experiment approaches and science spirits.我非常同意这一比喻。在我看来，传统和创新必定会永恒地共存下去。首先也是最重要的是，传统是创新坚实的基础，它有着许多我们可以吸收的养分，就像过去的科学实验方法，以及科学精神。Secondly, it’s the drawbacks of tradition in certain fields that give rise to inspiration and momentum to innovate. For instance, Thomas Edison, who caught the sight of the inconvenience of traditional gas light, conducted experiments and eventually invented light bulb.另一方面，正式因为有某些领1 域的传统方式有缺陷，才有了人们创新的动力。比如，爱迪生看到了汽灯的不足，进行实验并最终发明了电灯。On the contrary, innovation will certainly fight against tradition. When an innovation satisfies people’s expectation ,it can gain popularity and finally make itself a new element in tradition ，which will be held in high esteem.反过来说，创新必将和传统进行对抗。当创新满足了人们的期待和需要，它就获得了人气并将自己变成了传统的新元素,它也将获得尊重。 In a word, tradition and innovation can never be separated. At the very time, with the ever-increasing speed of innovation, a diversity of newly-born technology and hi-tech products penetrate our daily life. I’m convinced that we’d better be absolutely conscious of our root——tradition and give priority to it. Only when we gain a thorough comprehension of it can we accomplish magnificent innovation and exert positive effect on our society as a whole. 总而言之，传统和创新密不可分。在如今，当创新的步伐飞增，各种各样的高科技产品涌入我们的生活中，我认为我们必须给与传统以优先权。只有这样，我们才能充分理解它，创新并为社会的发展贡献积极的力量。 2 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/cd4c2478cf2f0066f5335a8102d276a2002960bf.html
