it is still possible to learn without the aid of such devices, but I believe that those students who are fortunate enough to have access to technological resources should take every advantage of them. 參考譯文: 科技對學(xué)習(xí)的影響 近幾年來,科技方面的進(jìn)步相當(dāng)驚人。而且,那些益處是短暫的,將來人類還是會(huì)因自己的行為所造成的負(fù)面影響而受害。污染及日益減少的天然資源所造成的影響也會(huì)使人類受害。是人類自己首先使水變得不適合飲用的。砍伐森林危及許多動(dòng)物,而人類對水和其他資源的需求極大,因而導(dǎo)致許多植物絕種?,F(xiàn)在我們雖然不能沒有運(yùn)輸工具,卻也不能忽視運(yùn)輸工具對地球有不良影響的事實(shí)??傮w上,對地球而言,人類的活動(dòng)似乎弊多于利。我們周圍隨處可見人類活動(dòng)的跡象。我的看法是,我們進(jìn)提那的進(jìn)步得益于科學(xué)和科技的發(fā)展。我們不會(huì)因?yàn)橹恍量喙ぷ鲙啄昃妥兊闷v不堪。又因?yàn)槲?明的進(jìn)步,我們的生活環(huán)境以及食物來源已經(jīng)變得比較衛(wèi)生。人們變得更健康也有助于預(yù)防罹患一些會(huì)使身體狀況日益衰弱的疾病,例如心臟病。醫(yī)學(xué)上的重大突破已經(jīng)根除了以前十分普遍的致命疾病。而且,人們還能活得久而且又健康,精力充沛地邁入他們的“黃金時(shí)代”(退休期)。但是現(xiàn)在,我們認(rèn)為 40 歲的壽命很短。盡管電視及電影兼具娛樂性和知識(shí)性,但還是無法取代實(shí)際的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。他們可能無法分辨真實(shí)與虛構(gòu),而且可能會(huì)試著模仿在電視或電影中所看到的行為。凡是觀看新聞性及教育性節(jié)目的人可以學(xué)習(xí)許多新事物,而主要觀看娛樂節(jié)目的觀眾可能就會(huì)認(rèn)為,世界上大多數(shù)的人都很有錢,而且長得都很好看,這可能會(huì)使他們對自己的生活感到不滿意。現(xiàn)在電視廣告非常普遍,即使是電影院,也允許播放廣告。因此,視覺每體的影響是不容忽視的。 The Influence of Television and Movies There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored. One obvious effect of the these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may e to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them bee dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies. With the everyincreasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience. 參考譯文: 電視和電影的影響 電視和電影無疑會(huì)影響人們的行為舉止。不過,除非我們能將書本知識(shí)運(yùn)用于實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中,否則書本知識(shí)終究仍只是理論,毫無用處。想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)新,只靠閱讀是不夠的,必須要去實(shí)踐。事實(shí)上,我認(rèn)為犯錯(cuò)是最好的學(xué)習(xí)方式。 另一方面,實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)軌蚪o我們更多 有用的知識(shí)。此外,我們可以通過讀書,從歷史中獲取教訓(xùn)。通過讀書,我們可以研究世界各地的資料,還可以向不曾謀面的人學(xué)習(xí)。海天的英語沖刺寫作素材集錦 Book Knowledge vs. Experience Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements. Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not e about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical an
