单选题   七夕节(Qixi Festival)遭到冷遇促使文化学者为这个情人节由衷地担心起来——七夕节从汉朝开始就世代相传,如今却正在消亡。有人甚至呼吁立法,把农历(lunar year)七月初七这个节日设为法定的“中国情人节”。然而,尽管保留传统节日的努力非常值得肯定,但是这种措施效果如何还是令人怀疑。越来越多的中国传统节日。例如端午节(Dragon Boat Festival)、中秋节(Mid-Autumn Festival)等,都面临和七夕节同样的命运。在抱怨传统节日丧失吸引力的同时,决策者们应该考虑文化保护的问题。
 
【正确答案】The cold reception of Qixi Festival has prompted cultural experts to seriously worry that the lovers' festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty, is dying out. Some have even called for legislation to make the festival a legal 'Chinese Lovers' Day,' which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year. Although efforts to preserve traditional festivals are highly commendable, the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt. A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, share the same fate as the Qixi Festival. While complaining about traditional festivals' fading appeal, decision-makers should reflect on cultural protection.
