關(guān)于科學(xué)技術(shù)存在許多爭論，其中一個問題是當(dāng)國家發(fā)展現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)時，傳統(tǒng)的技術(shù)方法是否可能會消亡?

There is much discussion over science and technology. One of the questions under debate is whether traditional technology and methods are bound to die out when a country begins to develop modern science and technology.

我認(rèn)為，傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法的消亡不一定是壞事，這是社會進(jìn)步的自然結(jié)果。

As for me,the declining of traditional technology and methods is not a bad thing;it is the natural result of progress of society.

首先，傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法有些部分是有害的，并且會阻礙現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展。

In the first place,some aspects of the traditional technology and methods are harmful and hampering the development of modern technology science.

盡管現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)已經(jīng)證明了這些方法是愚昧的，然而在許多偏僻的地方，仍有成千上萬的人們在使用這些方法。

Although modern science and technology have proved that such methods are absurd,there are still millions of people use such methods in many remote places nowadays.

第二點，許多傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法已經(jīng)過時，應(yīng)被現(xiàn)代科技所取代。

In the second place,many values of traditional technology are out of date and should be replaced by modern science.

盡管許多人保持著傳統(tǒng)觀念，認(rèn)為傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法在人們生活中仍發(fā)揮著重要作用，但是越來越多的證據(jù)顯示它并沒有人們想象的有用。

Although many people tend to live under the illusion that traditional technology and methods are still playing extremely important role in people's life,an increasing evidences show that it is less useful than many people think.

通過以上討論，我堅定地相信時間會證明傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法將會隨著現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的發(fā)展而消亡，堅持傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)方法是徒勞的。

From what has been discussed above,I firmly believe that time will prove that traditional technology and methods would die out with the development of modern science and technology. The maintenance of the traditional technology and methods is futile.

當(dāng)技術(shù)的發(fā)展意味著我們會吸入更多有害氣體時，我們比任何時候更需要森林。

At the time when technology means ever more harmful carbon in the air we breathe,we need these forests now more than ever.

沒有比接受教育更重要的事。

Nothing is more important than to receive education.

我們再怎么強調(diào)保護(hù)眼睛的重要性也不為過。

We cannot emphasize the importance of protecting our eyes too much.

無可否認(rèn)，我們的生活品質(zhì)已經(jīng)每況愈下。

There is no denying that the qualities of our living have gone from bad to worse.

全世界都知道樹木對我們是不可或缺的。

It is universally acknowledged that trees are indispensable to us.

付小費這種習(xí)俗這種風(fēng)俗可以追溯到古羅馬時代。

The custom can be traced back to the roman era.

付小費這種習(xí)俗源于8世紀(jì)的英國。

A more common belief is tips were first given in the 8th century England.

在美國和歐洲，人們普遍的做法是以消費金額的百分之十到百分之二十來付小費的。

In America and Europe it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%.

許多家長相信額外的教育活動有許多優(yōu)點，通過學(xué)習(xí)，他們的孩子可以獲得很多實踐技能和有用的知識，當(dāng)他們長大后，這些對他們就業(yè)是大有好處的。

Many parents believe that additional educational activities enjoy obvious advantage. By extra studies,they maintain,their children are able to obtain many kinds of practical skills and useful knowledge,which will put them in a beneficial position in the future job markets when they grow up.

首先，額外的學(xué)習(xí)對孩子們的身體發(fā)育是不利的。教育專家指出，孩子們在枯燥的教室里呆了一整天后，從事一些體育活動，而不是額外的學(xué)習(xí)，是非常重要的。

In the first place,extra studies bring about unhealthy impacts on physical growth of children. Educational experts point out that,it is equally important to take some sport activities instead of extra studies when children have spent the whole day in a boring classroom.

孩子們正處于身體快速發(fā)育時期，缺乏體育鍛煉可能會對他們未來的生活造成嚴(yán)重的影響。

Children are undergoing fast physical development;lack of physical exercise may produce disastrous influence on their later life.

第二，從心理上講，大部分孩子似乎對額外的學(xué)習(xí)沒有什么好感。

In the second place,from psychological aspect,the majority of children seem to tend to have an unfavorable attitude toward additional educational activities.

當(dāng)別的孩子在玩耍的時候，很難想象一個學(xué)生能集中精力在課本上。

It is hard to imagine a student focusing their energy on textbook while other children are playing.

而且，由于要額外地學(xué)習(xí)，孩子們沒有多少時間和同齡的孩子玩耍和交流，很難培養(yǎng)他們的個性和交際能力。他們可能變得孤僻甚至產(chǎn)生某些心理疾病。

Moreover,children will have less time to play and communicate with their peers due to extra studies,consequently,it is difficult to develop and cultivate their character and interpersonal skills. They may become more solitary and even suffer from certain mental illness.

通過以上討論，我們可以得出結(jié)論：盡管額外學(xué)習(xí)的確有很多優(yōu)點，但它的缺點不可忽視，且遠(yuǎn)大于它的優(yōu)點。因此，放學(xué)后強迫孩子額外學(xué)習(xí)是不明智的

From what has been discussed above,we may safely draw the conclusion that,although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages,its disadvantages shouldn't be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school.

任何家長都應(yīng)非常重視保持孩子在學(xué)習(xí)與玩耍的平衡，正如那句老話：只工作，不玩耍，聰明的孩子會變傻。

Any parents should place considerable emphasis on their children to keep the balance between play and study. As an old saying goes:All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

現(xiàn)在，父親或母親留在家里照顧他們的孩子而不愿過早返回工作崗位正成為增加的趨勢。

There is a growing tendency for parent these days to stay at home to look after their children instead of returning to work earlier.

父母們堅定地相信把孩子送到幼兒園對他們的成長不利。

Parents are firmly convinced that,to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.

然而，這一想法正遭受越來越多的專家的質(zhì)疑，他們指出，孩子總是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。

However,this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts,who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.

盡管父母能在他們孩子身上投入更多時間和精力，但是必須承認(rèn)，與工作在幼兒園的專職教師相比，他們在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知識和經(jīng)驗。

Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children,it must be admitted that， parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children,when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.

通過以上討論，我們可以得出如下結(jié)論：盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是這樣做的缺點遠(yuǎn)大于優(yōu)點。

From what has been discussed above,we may safely draw a conclusion that,although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable,its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

應(yīng)該鼓勵父母將他們的孩子送到幼兒園，這將對孩子，家庭，甚至整個社會產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)的影響。

Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools,which will bring about profound impacts on children and families,and even the society as a whole.

只要一提起藝術(shù)和文化項目，一些政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)就會興奮不已，他們滔滔不絕地說著美麗的公園，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，還有滿是稀世珍寶的藝術(shù)展覽館。他們認(rèn)為在經(jīng)濟發(fā)展中，沒有什么比這些藝術(shù)項目更重要了。

Many leaders of government always go into raptures mere mention of artistic and cultural projects. They are forever talking about the nice parks,the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities. Nothing,they maintain,is more essential than such projects in the economic growth
