　　The Effects of Technology on Learning

　　The technological advances of the last few years have been amazing. Never before have students had such a wide variety of resources to help them in their studies. Those who can take advantage of these resources have the opportunity to learn about more subjects and to acquire more in-depth knowledge. In my opinion, students can indeed learn more and learn more quickly with the help of modern technology.

　　The piece of technology most important as a learning tool must be the computer. Paired with the Internet, it allows students to research topics more quickly and thoroughly and to write up their findings more rapidly as well. Furthermore, advances in many fields are being made so fast these days that it is impossible four textbooks to keep up. Technology allows students to keep abreast of the latest developments. Also, it cannot be denied that many students enjoy using such resources in their studies. Because of this, they are more likely to pursue subjects in greater depth.

　　For all these reasons, I believe that technology is of great benefit to today's students. Of course, 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.

　　科技對學習的影響

　　近幾年來，科技方面的進步相當驚人。學生從來沒有過這麼多各種各樣的資源來幫助他們學習。能夠利用這些資源的人有機會學習更多的課題，並獲得更深入的知識。依我之見，有了現代科技的協助，學習確實能夠學得更多，而且學得更快。

　　科技上最重要的學習工具非電腦莫屬。電腦搭配網際網路的使用，使得學生能夠更快速、更徹底地研究他們的課題，也能更迅速地詳細寫出他們的發現。此外，目前許多領域都進步神速，教科書根本不可能跟得上，而科技讓學生能夠跟得上最新的發展。並且，不可否認的是，許多學生在學習時也非常喜歡使用這樣的資源。這樣，他們較有可能更深入地研究各種課題。

　　基於這些理由，我相信科技對現今的學生有極大的幫助。當然，沒有這些裝置的協助也是有可能學習的。但我認為，那些有幸能夠使用科技資源的學生都應該善於利用這些資源。

　　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 come 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 and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.

　　書本知識與實際經驗

　　獲得知識的來源有很多，其中包括書本、老師，以及實際經驗，而每一種都有其優點。從書本上及正規教育中所獲得的知識使我們知道在日常生活中沒有機會親身去體驗的事。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習。我們也可以培養分析的技巧，並學習如何以不同的方式去觀察並理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過讀書，從歷史中獲取教訓。如此一來，就不會再重複別人的錯誤，並且能夠以他人的成就作為我們行動的基礎。

　　另一方面，實際經驗能夠給我們更多有用的知識。大家都說從做中學的效果最好，我也認為的確如此，無論一個人成功與否。事實上，我認為犯錯是最好的學習方式。此外，如果想要有新的進展，就必須要付諸行動。想要創新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實踐。最後，我們可以將通過讀書所獲得的技巧和見解應用於實際經驗中，使得原本有意義的經驗變得更有意義。不過，除非我們能將書本知識運用於實際經驗中，否則書本知識終究仍只是理論，毫無用處。那就是為什麼我會認為從實際經驗中獲得的知識比從書本中所得到的知識更為重要。

　　Living Longer

　　In the past it was not uncommon for a man to die at forty, having lived a full life. But now we consider a lifespan of forty years to be very short. It is not unusual for people to live into their eighties and nineties, and some even reach 100. What’s more, people are living long, healthy lives and are active well into their “golden years”.

　　Mankind’s longevity is due mainly to advances in science and technology. Medical breakthroughs have eradicated many fatal diseases that were once common. Perhaps more importantly, better general health means that people are less likely to contract infections in the first place. Better health also helps people prevent slowly debilitating conditions, such as heart disease, which can take their lives at an early age. And as civilization has advanced, our living environment and sources of food have become more sanitary. Furthermore, work is now safer and not as taxing on the human body. We do not wear out after just a few years of very hard work.

　　There are many reasons why people are now living longer than ever before. But what is more important is that they are living better as they live longer. It is my opinion that we have scientific and technological development to thank for this progress.

　　活得更久

　　以前的人活到40歲就過完一生而死亡是很平常的。但是現在，我們認為40歲的壽命很短。人們活到八十幾歲、九十幾歲，有些甚至到100歲，是很平常的。而且，人們還能活得久而且又健康，精力充沛地邁入他們的“黃金時代”退休期。

　　人類會長壽主要是因為科學及科技的進步。醫學上的重大突破已經根除了以前十分普遍的致命疾病。而更重要的也許是，大眾健康的改善首先意味著人們不大可能得傳染病。人們變得更健康也有助於預防罹患一些會使身體狀況日益衰弱的疾病，例如心臟病。這些疾病常會奪走年輕的生命。又因為文明的進步，我們的生活環境以及食物來源已經變得比較衛生。此外，現在的工作比較安全，且對人體而言沒有那麼繁重。我們不會因為只辛苦工作幾年就變得疲憊不堪。

　　現代人比以前長壽的原因有很多，但更重要的是，人們活得更久，而且也活得更好。我的看法是，我們的進步得益於科學和科技的發展。

　　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 come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become 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 every-increasing 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.

　　電視和電影的影響

　　電視和電影無疑會影響人們的行為舉止。此外，人們似乎在花越來越多的時間去觀看一些視覺娛樂節目，無論是電視、錄影帶，或是DVD。因此，視覺每體的影響是不容忽視的。

　　這些每體所造成的最明顯的影響是，人們在觀看之後會被誘使去購買某些產品。現在電視廣告非常普遍，即使是電影院，也允許播放廣告。另外一個電視及電影會影響人們的方式是，它們能使人們對世界有更廣闊的見解或是扭曲的看法，而這取決於人們所觀看的是什麼樣的節目。凡是觀看新聞性及教育性節目的人可以學習許多新事物，而主要觀看娛樂節目的觀眾可能就會認為，世界上大多數的人都很有錢，而且長得都很好看，這可能會使他們對自己的生活感到不滿意。最後，兒童可能是最容易受影響的觀眾。他們可能無法分辨真實與虛構，而且可能會試著模仿在電視或電影中所看到的行為。

　　由於視覺娛樂越來越普遍，所以社會大眾必須注意其可能造成的影響。儘管電視及電影兼具娛樂性和知識性，但還是無法取代實際的經驗。
