30"The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time."
In the last century, the human technological advancement(人类科技进步,是在限时情况下直接翻译过来的吧?表达是否准确建议查证一下) was significant and brilliant. I concede that the primary goal of technology advancement should be to increase people's efficiency, but I can not agree with the speaker's comment that the increasing efficiency is for the more leisure time for people. I will demonstrate my point of view using some rational reasons below.(开头亮出明确的观点,虽然因为限时没有什么漂亮的句式,不过我认为简单明了也是优秀的英文表达,至少这一段看得毫不费力,不需要借助于金山词霸)
First of all, it is sure that the technology will enhance the people's efficiency. In last century, many inventions which(此句太长了,inventions, which) are now some indispensable tools and forcefully increase the efficiency of people's daily life were manufactured by scientists and engineers. Airplane, which was first imagined by Brother Laret(莱特?正确的翻译是什么?), now make the earth turn to a village( 疑改成to be a village更好). It greatly shorten(shortens) the distance of two nations which are even in different hemisphere. Nowadays, people can have a trip from America to China only in one day, the airplane save the business men much time in order to make them obtain more opportunities. Another great technological advancement in the last twenty years, the computer and the internet, also did a lot (of)contribution to human. For example, if a student in China wants to get in touch with a professor in America, what he has to do is just sending an e-mail to the professor's e-mail box. Technology saves much time for people, and it is undoubtedly that the technology advancement increases the efficiency of people. (
为了说明效率提高,此段可采用对比,在飞机那个例子上用了对比,我认为如果在举网络的例子时也对比一下过去就更好了)
However, the main responsibility of technology is to give people a more wonderful life as the Nokia ‘s slogan:" technology (大写)depends on human.", but(??“而不是”就用not to,因为你前面有is to可以并列) the ultimate goal is not give people more leisure time. For instance, the washing machine which is invented in the last century, entirely liberate the women from the heavy housework. Due to its contribution, women become more independent and active and now, in some extent, have the same status as men.(洗衣机的例子是合适的,但是加上这一句就夸大了它的作用。记得有一片gre阅读是讲厨房设备和机器如何解放了妇女,我觉得你不能说单单一个洗衣机的贡献大到如此,而是要说,类似于洗衣机的各种家电设备、厨房设备的发明彻底改变了妇女的生活) If people only want to get more leisure time with the help of technology, will make people lazy and corrupt. The actual purpose of the technology is unfettering(时态不对) people from the daily works and people can have more time to do things which is more significant.你需要再加强论证,说明妇女因为从家务中解放出来,从而有了进修和工作的时间和机会)
In addition, some technology advancement probably can not ensure people a higher efficiency but waste people more leisure time. (这个观点在篇首没有提到,有点突兀)As a matter of fact, the traffic jam, which happens in most of the international metropolis, attribute to the technology advancement of automobile. Though people can drive cars or jeeps to(去掉) everywhere they want, but (语法错误)if there is a traffic jam, somebody will waste several hours, even half a day on the road. The advancement of automobile does not make people’s efficiency increased, sometimes, even causes you late for the morning meeting. (交通堵塞是科技带来的还是管理带来的?我看本来就值得讨论,坦白的说其实我对这一段的观点是并不看好的,看看能否自圆其说吧)Moreover, the internet nowadays is a necessary tool within people's work, but when you open up your e-mail box, there are always some garbage email in your mail box which waste you ten or more minutes per day. Therefore, technology do not (,)as the speaker's assertion( that it will去掉)(,) give people more leisure time, whereas sometimes reduce it.
To sum up, I admit that development of technology surely increase(increases) the efficiency of people, but the primary goal of technology is not to endow people with more leisure time but a more happy and healthy lives. (结尾的表达也很清楚)
纵观全文,我觉得逻辑还是清楚的,语言表达也算清晰。关于科技给人带来的时间浪费虽然论证还不够透,但是也有说服力。我想在最后几分钟的检查中, in addition的那个观点是不是要马上添进篇首的总观点,这样承接更好。有一些语法错误,不过应该能改出来。在论证上我看逻辑还要严密一点,就是中间那个两段,还大有东西可挖的。第一篇限时能这样我觉得不错了,继续努力! |
