Do you agree or disagree that technological development is always good?
英语范文
Technology threatens and inflicts damage upon our quality of life. The technological developments of this century are creating widespread plagues that could soon destroy the entire world.
Let us take air for example. Due to massive air pollution,what we breathe is not relatively safe like it used to be. The fumes from the exhausted pipes of automobiles,trucks and factories blow waste material into the atmosphere. After a period of time,atmospheric changes occur. The fumes, that are collected in the atmosphere, are slowly eating away at the ozone layer. This layer of the atmosphere is what shields us from solar ultra-violet rays. Once this layer is gone,our natural protection against the sun would be gone,and if we were hit by one ray of the sun,we'd burst into flames and turn into a cinder.
Another plague of technology is nuclear power. The power that can energize entire cities with electricity could also be the power to destroy. After 1945,the research on nuclear power has increased significantly. Contrary to the belief that it is safe,nuclear power has a way of destroying the whole city. It is not like a fire that can be put out with water or CO2, but spe-cial equipments[d11] have to be used. Afterwards that place would remain radioactive for quite along time,devoid of life and sound.
So you see,if technology cannot be halted,our fate is unknown. Our end will not come about by natural means, but by our own technological achievements, and life on Earth would cease to exist.
题目:
你是否同意科技进步总是有益的这种观点?
译文:
科技正威胁和影响着我们的日常生活质量。本世纪科技发展造成了广泛的、能摧毁整个世界的灾祸。
以空气为例。由于大量的空气污染,我们呼吸的空气不再像以前那样安全。从排气管中排出的汽车尾气,货车尾气和工厂废气在空气中传播。一段时期之后,大气开始发生改变。从空气中聚集的烟雾慢慢吞噬着臭氧层。大气中的臭氧层保护着我们免受紫外线的侵扰。一旦臭氧层消失,我们对太阳光线的自然保护就消失了,如果被其中一种光线照着我们就会突然着火化成灰烬。
另一种带来灾难的科技是核能。这种力量虽然能够为整个城市供电,但也能够摧毁整个城市。
1945年后,世界对于核能的研究显著增加。与安全信念相反,核能可以摧毁整个城市。它不像火焰能被水或二氧化碳扑灭,它需要使用特殊的设备去消除。然后,这个地方会在很长一段时间里具有放射性,不会出现任何生命和声音。
因此你看,如果不能停止使用科技,我们的命运就会是未知的。我们的终结将不会以自然的方式进行,而是被我们自己的科技成就所终结,地球上的生命将会不复存在。
