是否有必要保护历史建筑？丨口语训练94期

Answer：

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt. As I said before, we must preserve historical buildings to remember our past and our forefathers. Aside from this, historical buildings can add to the beauty of a place. They can also be a major source of income for the country and the local people from tourism. Think about how many people each year visit beautiful historical cities such as London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona or Venice. These cities have protected their historical buildings. If we don't protect our historical buildings, where will our grandchildren and great grandchildren visit to learn about the past?

译：

是的，毫无疑问。正如我前面所说，我们必须保护历史建筑，以纪念我们的过去和我们的祖先。除此之外，历史建筑可以让一个地方更美。它们也可以通过旅游业成为国家和当地人民的重要收入来源。想想每年有多少人参观伦敦、巴黎、罗马、巴塞罗那或威尼斯等美丽的历史名城。这些城市保护了它们的历史建筑。如果我们不保护我们的历史建筑，我们的后代要去哪里了解过去呢?
