It looks like commercialized holidays have already sneaked into our lives without our knowing it. Christmas has become a synonym for crazy consumption. Look, as soon as we get to the end of the year, all the businesses get extremely excited. In the name of celebrating the holidays, they push all kinds of discounts and sales. In that way, they've changed a traditional, Western religious holiday and made it even more bustling.

听起来好复杂，我从来都没参加过这类活动，对各类宗教文化也一无所知，仅仅知道佛教，伊斯兰教和基督教这几个著名的宗教，更多的我也讲不出来了。

It sounds pretty complicated. I’ve never attended those kind of activities, and don’t know a thing about religious culture. I barely know anything about it, even the more famous religions like Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Other than those, I really don’t know anything about any religions.

其实我也是。我对宗教并不算了解，可我很乐意接触到不同的宗教文化。我有一些信仰宗教的朋友，很多时候我都是从文化的角度来分享他们的经历。和我一起去教堂的朋友就从小信仰基督教，而且非常虔诚。

Actually, I’m the same. I can’t say I understand religion at all, but I’m willing to have some contact with different religious cultures. I have some religious friends, and I often find myself related to their experiences on a cultural level. The friends I went to church with have been Christians since they were little, and they’re really devoted.

我想我永远都没办法理解这种虔诚。宗教信仰是个人的自由，我不会干涉他们，但也没有办法深入其中。我们这一代人大多数都是没有宗教信仰的。不过现在信基督教的人在中国真是越来越多了，相反中国的第一大宗教-佛教的教徒大多都是老一辈的人了。
wǒ xiǎng wǒ yǒngyuǎn dōu méi bànfǎ lǐjiě zhèzhǒng qiánchéng 。zōngjiào xìnyǎng shì gèrén de zìyóu ，wǒ bùhuì gānshè tāmen ，dàn yě méiyǒu bànfǎ shēnrù qízhōng 。wǒmen zhèyīdài rén dàduōshù dōu shì méiyǒu zōngjiào xìnyǎng de 。bùguò xiànzài xìn Jīdūjiào de rén zài Zhōngguó zhēnshì yuè lái yuè duō le ，xiāngfǎn Zhōngguó de dì-yī dà zōngjiào -Fójiào de jiàotú dàduō dōu shì lǎo yī bèi de rén le 。
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand that kind of devotion. Religious faith is a personal freedom, so I would never interfere with others’ faith, but I myself could never get that deeply involved. Most people of our generation aren’t very religious. However, nowadays more and more people in China are becoming Christians. On the other hand, the followers of China’s primary religion—Buddhism—are mainly from the older generation.

是的。我认识的朋友中有一部分人就是因为受到家庭传统的影响而信佛或基督的。也有很多人和我一样只是从文化的角度来看待宗教。不过无论是何种宗教，我都主张用正确的态度对待这种信仰，而不能过分依赖。

Yeah. Amongst my friends, there are some who are Buddhist or Christian because of the influence of family tradition. But there are also many people who are like me, and just look at religion from a cultural perspective. Still, no matter what one’s faith is, I will always advocate that people should maintain a proper attitude toward religion, but not be excessively dependent on it.
