Unit 8 Globalization Text A Paths of Globalization from the Berbers to Bach 参考译文：这些年的音乐之旅告诉我，全球化进程 中的交流互动并不只会破坏文化，相反，它不仅能 剑造新的文化，而且还会为那些存在了几世纪的古 老传统注入新的活力，使其被世界上更多的人熟知。 这一点与生态学上的群落“边缘效应”类似，后者本身 是用来描述两个不同的生态系统交汇时的景象。例 如，在森林与大草原这两种生态系统的交界之处， 存在着密度最小但种类最多的生命形态，而每一种 形态都汲取了两种生态系统的精髓。由此可见，有 时候最有趣的事情往往发生在边缘地带，而交叉地 带往往能够揭示出意想不到的联系
