(AI78)斑竹excellent提议的关于建筑的困难文章，我的拙作

以下是引用寂寞的自由在2003-11-2 9:38:00的发言：
The issue of whether to raze an old, historic building to make way for progress is a complex one （不用complex，它多表示物体的组织结构错综复杂，改为 hot debate）, since it involve （involves）a conflict between our interest in preserving our culture, tradition, and history and a legitimate need to create practical facilities that serve （serves）current utilitarian purposes. The final judgment should be weighed in many aspects. On balance, my view is that historic buildings should not be destroyed in modern society.

In the first place, historic capitals or cultural centres, which were carefully designed and meticulously constructed, should be preserved as wholesomely as possible, because they represent historic pinnacles of cultural and artistic sophistication.  In order to see this point clearly（多余，请删除）, let us see （改为 consider）an example: the Chinese great wall（the Great Wall，就可以了）, which was built in Qin dynasty shows us （改为is，强调它就是文化和美学造诣的象征）the historic pinnacle of cultural and esthetical combination. The king of the Qin empery built the Great Wall （had it built，注意，是皇帝让人造的，而不是他自己造的）to defend （defend against）the foreign aggression（改为invasion）. From the purpose of the Great Wall, people can analyse （改为see，analyse强调的是动作，而我们这里要表达的是结论）that the particular policy of the Qin dynasty focused on the military instead of the economic development. Chinese （China）should cautiously preserve the Great Wall because the Great Wall （同一句中同一词组出现两遍，大忌讳，要注意用代词，这里是it）will remind Chinese （the Chinese，才代表中国人）the painful historical experience to adopt the open-minded national policies rather than closed-cloorism. Preserving the Great Wall will stimulate Chinese （同上）to devote themselves into reconstructing （加 a）prosperous China. The symmetrical style of the Great Wall indicates that ancient Chinese regarded symmetrical figures as the symbol of beauty.

In the second place, rare old buildings of lasting historic value that represent some bygone era are worth preserving. A case in point is that the Egypt pyramid is not only one of the four greatest constructions （in the world）but also has some valuably scientific references in  （the）long run. For example, how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramid with the behindhand tool and why some scientists assume the pyramid （was）made （built，这里就不要怕重复了，make不能用来形容建造建筑物）by outer space people. In recent years, scientists have found that the pyramids contain many （much，知识是不可数的）advanced mathematical knowledge, geometrical principle（这里没看明白你要表达什么，不过至少该是the geometrics，几何学）. The mummies in these pyramids show us that the ancient chemists had grasped the sophisticated skills about keeping stuffs （stuff，该词不加 s）from corruption.           

The last but not at （改为the）least, with advanced building technologies, city planners can even move the sporadic old buildings and put them together in a specially designated location. For example, some kinds of ancient constructions can be removed （moved，注意remove是清除的意思）into a concentrated region and then officials can resolve the conflict about the rare places between the business men’s interests and the historical fans’ concerns. Successfully separating the historical fields from the business fields （这里用areas比较妥帖）can benefits not only the economic development but also the preserving （presevation of，这是个并列意味的词组，尽量结构对称）the valuable antiques.

So, based on the above discussion, it is not difficult to get the conclusion: people should preserve some old buildings with valuable records of the societies without sacrificing the economical （economic，economical是节俭的意思，前者才是经济的）development through some high （advanced）technological methods.

Preserving valuable ancient architectures can make people remind （remind的宾语一定是人，而不是物！这里改为 remind people of）their historical matters （history）and scientists discovery some exciting new points from old ones.   
        
（这一整句建议写为：
Preserving ancient architechtures can not only remind people of their history but offer inspirations to exciting scientific discoveries as well.）
