英语讨论题：为什么现在的年轻人喜欢过西方的节日?
围绕上面的话题讨论,其原因以及自己的见解,应该怎样看待这一现象.
请用英语回答,并附上中文的翻译.
我觉得也不是忽略了中国的节日,其实传统节日也是过的,只不过,中国的传统节日更注重的是一家团圆,大家往往都是在家里吃顿饭就算过节了;而外国的节日往往讲究的都是一大群人一起在外面,到街上狂欢度过.
现在的社会大多是独生子女,平时没有办法和同龄人一起玩,外国的一些节日就正好应了这些人的心理,所以感觉上就是过西方节日多过中国的节日
还有一点请注意上面说过，请附上中文翻译。
丢一堆英文在那儿，我要是有水平能轻易看懂你的文章，我就自己回答了。
回答得尽量用简单一点语句，太复杂了看起来太假

Why are western holidays so popular in China
One day,my friend Julia and I were having a conversation about holidays.And I asked her:‘ Julia,what is your favorite holiday?’ Julia burst out ‘Valentines’ Day.Bobby was so nice and romantic that night.’ ‘Then which holiday is the most important to you?’ ‘Hmm,that should be Christmas.There’s always this big celebration among friends.’ ‘Ok,which day will you choose to say I LOVE YOU to Bob,suppose he didn’t know that yet.’ ‘Actually I did tell him on April Fool’s Day’ ‘April Fool’s Day?’ I was confused.‘Sure’ she said’ If you are denied,you can say ‘kidding!’ without being embarrassed’
But I was a little embarrassed,as a traditional Chinese.Why are all the holidays my friend is fond of imported from the west.Is it just because the whole nation is enthusiastic about learning English and western culture that makes western holidays so popular?I said no to myself as soon as I brought it up.Most Young Chinese,rushing to buy flowers and chocolates in a craze,don‘t know the historical origin of Valentine‘s Day!Then what’s the real cause of this phenomenon?
First,I think,commercial benefits are the best impetus!Why do more and more people come to know about western festivals?Because it is too hard to deny those advertisements all around you!Regardless of whether Chinese are importing the essence of Western festivals,business owners must seize the opportunity to fill their cash registers.Maybe the businessmen,rather than the young people,are the happiest on such occasions.
Second,western festivals pay much attention to sentiment.For example,people send roses on Valentine’s Day,and take it as an opportunity to express love to their lovers.It is the emotional appeal that attracts us.On the other hand,Chinese traditional Valentines’ Day has never been a big event in China.Young women,demonstrating their domestic skills,such as sewing and weaving,and praying to marry a good husband seems to be far out of date.
A survey shows that most youngsters love foreign festivals because of the joy and pleasure in them.As to the difference between foreign festivals and chinese traditional ones,most males think that Chinese festivals rest on the material activities of eating and wearing new clothes,while foreigners pay much attention to communication of feelings and ideas.Meanwhile,most females think they become too tired during traditional festivals but feel free and easy going during western holidays.
With social development,festivals are going through change.Some are weakened; some are strengthened; while others are endowed with new meanings or connotations.This is the natural process of cultural selection.Therefore,it is unnecessary to feel embarrassed about the bustle of foreign festivals.This is only an aspect of world cultural integration.
