SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? 我们应该与新技术对抗吗?
Paragraph 1
This morning, I saw the shocking headline: "Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode". In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
今天早上,我看到了令人震惊的头条新闻:"无人驾驶汽车撞死了乘客"。在文章中,不同的人说,公众应该反对发展无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说,有些科技进步是没有必要的,甚至会有危险。因此,我们应该停止接受技术,不要因为技术是新的就接受它。据该报报道,汽车公司已经就此次事故道歉,但死者家属表示,这还不够。尽管如此,该公司仍然声称,大多数人很快就会有一天乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
【重点必背】 oppose vt. 反对;抵制;阻挠 hence adv. 因此;由此
Paragraph 2
On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.
一方面,世界上有很多不同的群体,他们在没有新技术的情况下生活得很幸福。最为人所知的可能是阿米什人,这是一群生活在美国农村的基督徒。他们不拥有或驾驶汽车,不看电视,也不使用互联网。他们自18世纪以来主要以农民的身份生活,在遥远的将来,他们很可能也会以同样的方式生活。他们崇尚简朴的生活,强调勤劳、家庭和社区。他们认为这比关心奢侈品或追随名流富人的生活要好。
【重点必背】
absence n. 不存在;缺乏;缺席
rural农村的
advocate vt. 提倡;支持;拥护 n. 提倡者;支持者;拥护者
luxury n. 奢华
Paragraph 3
On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.
另一方面,这些年来,新技术给各地的人们带来了很多好处。例如,最新的天气追踪计算机程序给人们提供了很多关于潜在的自然灾害的预警,挽救了很多人的生命。此外,互联网使人们的朋友和家人即使身处天涯海角,也可以很容易地保持联系。它还使人们可以通过社交媒体结交更多的朋友,使人们在生活中寻找机会变得更加容易。
【重点必背】
make it possible for sb. to do使某人有可能做某事
keep in touch(与……)保持联系;了解(某课题或领域的情况)
【课文佳句】Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.(make it+adj.+for sb. to do)
此外,互联网使朋友和家人能够很容易地保持联系,即使他们在世界的两端。
Paragraph 4
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
就我个人而言,我从科技的进步中受益颇多。我是通过社交媒体网络找到了自己的职业——AI设计师。我一直戴着的健康监测仪,也帮助我进入了人生的最佳状态。当然,当新技术改变了我们的生活方式,这可能是一个可怕的前景。尽管如此,我还是会始终从积极的一面去看待变化,接受它而不是抵制它。
