Since jet plane appeared in the 1950s，it has had some revolutionary effects. Many people are of the opinion that it is one of the most important and influential inventions in the world. Some others, however, disagree with them. It seems quite clear to me that one of the most important and influential inventions in the world has been the development of jet plane. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.
One of the reasons is that jet travel brings us great convenience and efficiency. A hundred years ago，it took weeks to cross the Atlantic or Pacific oceans by ship. Today，those same trips can be completed in a matter of hours. One can attend a meeting in Paris and have dinner in New York at the same day. These amazing speeds have changed people's concepts of space. Today the world is much smaller than it was in the past.
Another reason why I advocate the attitude is that jet travel is relatively cheap. An international journey one hundred years ago was extremely expensive. Only wealthy people could afford to travel comfortably in first class. Poor people had to save for years to purchase a ticket，and the conditions in which they traveled were not very good. Today it is possible for more and more people in every country to travel in comfort. Thus it is possible for business people to do business all over the world, for students to attend universities in other countries, and for tourists to take vacations anywhere in the world.
For the reasons presented above, I strongly commit to the notion that jet plane is one of the most important and influential inventions in the world. The speed and low cost of jet travel have changed the world. Individual nations are not as isolated as they were in the past，and people now think of the whole planet as they once thought of their own hometowns.
题目：
喷气式飞机被认为是当今世界上最具影响力也是最重要的发明之一，对此观点你是同意还是不同意呢？
译文：
自从喷气式飞机在20世纪50年代问世以来，它就产生了革命性的影响。很多人认为它是世界上最重要也是最具影响的发明之一。然而，还有一些人不同意这个观点。我认为，世界上最重要、最有影响的发明之一就是喷气式飞机的发展。论据如下：
原因之一是乘喷气式飞机旅行为我们带来方便的同时，也提高了我们的效率。100年前，乘船穿越大西洋或太平洋需要几周的时间。而今天，同样的旅行大约几个小时就可以完成。一个人在同一天可以在巴黎开会而在纽约享用晚餐。这些令人惊异的速度已经改变了人们对空间的概念。当今，世界比过去更小了。
我赞成这个观点的另一个原因是乘喷气式飞机旅行相对便宜些。100年前一次国际旅行的费用是相当昂贵的。只有有钱人才能够支付得起最舒适的旅行。穷人不得不用几年的积蓄来买一张票，而且他们旅途中的条件并不是很好。如今，各国越来越多的人能够舒适地旅行。因此，商人可以在世界范围内做生意、学生可以到其他国家的大学学习、旅游者可以在世界范围的任何一个角落度假，这些都有可能实现。
根据以上的原因，我坚定地认为：喷气式飞机是世界上最重要、最具影响的发明之一。乘喷气式飞机旅行的高速度和低成本已经改变了世界。国家之间也不像过去那样互相隔绝，并且人们把整个星球都当成了自己的家。
