On the one hand, mosaic cultures are part of the universal heritage of humanity and they are powerful means of bringing together diverse peoples and social groups. Consequently, cultural integration has become indispensable as a means of promoting further culture development and maintenance. On the other hand, for China and many other rapidly developing countries, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If kung-fu, Peking opera or The Swan Lake Ballet ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. In my view, multi-cultures can be kept alive by the people with the time to do so, and is extremely vital in ensuring a community's future development and prosperity. As a consequence of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interest overseas, the future of cultural blending looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
一方面，多元文化作為全體人類遺產(chǎn)的一部分，是將不同人群和社會(huì)群體融合的有力方式。因此，文化融合作為促進(jìn)文化發(fā)展和保護(hù)的一種方式，已經(jīng)不可或缺。另一方面，對(duì)于中國(guó)和其他快速發(fā)展的國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)，古老的習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)面臨著在現(xiàn)代化陰影里消失的危險(xiǎn)。如果京劇、功夫或《天鵝湖》從地球上消失，那將是不可估量的損失。 在我看來(lái)，如果人們能為多元文化花費(fèi)時(shí)間的話，那么他就能夠長(zhǎng)存。這對(duì)確保將來(lái)社會(huì)的繁榮和發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。由于成功的商業(yè)化努力、政府堅(jiān)定不移的支持和不斷增長(zhǎng)的海外興趣，多元文化的將來(lái)會(huì)比過(guò)去任何時(shí)候都明朗、安全。
