在文化类话题中，我们需要去论述的主要有文化的特征、重要意义、传统文化与外来文化等等问题，以及文化与经济和国家发展的结合。那么我们就一起通过一篇经济学人上的文章来学习一下有哪些好的表达。

1、Guarding precious and vulnerable places is one of the better things the UN’s cultural agency does—but it may topple over if it stretches too far.
　　Guard:守卫，保卫，比如英国的著名报纸就叫做the Guardian 《卫报》。Precious and vulnerable: 宝贵的和易受伤害的，用于形容传统建筑或者文化非常好。

2、Anyone who dreams of exercising authority (of a fairly benign sort) over the entire world—with a special remit for the planet’s most beautiful and fragile places—will enjoy perusing the 250 or so pages that contain the latest pronouncements from UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee.

most beautiful and fragile：最美的和脆弱的，用于形容文化遗产，替换刚才的Precious and vulnerable,注意雅思写作的词汇丰富性。
