From Problems To Solutions(Para1)
《从问题重重到迎刃而解》
Economic development is necessary (if we want to improve society. )There comes a time (when the old must give way to the new,) and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. (Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites )can be a big challenge.
如果我们想社会进步,就必须发展经济。新旧更替的时代已经到来,在走向未来的过程中,我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。在进步与文化遗址保护之间寻找并保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。
