Tang Sanzang , who is the most famous Buddhist monk in Chinese history, went to India learn some classic works of Buddhism It costs he(R: costed him) nearly two years travel(R: traveling) from China to India. However, if some one(A: nowadays) in China want to go to India, what he / she should do is just go into a plane ,than(then) have a rest of sleep, after about 6 hours he / she will arrive at India. Thanks to the advanced technology, nowadays people can deal with many things more efficiently and effectively. It is true that the primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency, but it is too superficial and premature(immature) to assert that everyone has more leisure time. We should take advantage of technological advancement properly , not just to work or study efficiently(C: …should,…not.. are you sure these two parts are in the logical relation for these two prepositions?).
It is doubtless(R: undoubtful) that with the development of technology, people have more capable(R: capability) to resolve problems effectively and efficiently. By the help of computer, we can calculate those complex data and information with dramatic rapid(R: speed) and we no longer have to (A: be) trapped into the tedious situation that calculate(R: calculating) thousands of complicated equations. By the help of modern vehicle, unlike our forefather, we can go to every corner of the world(R: everywhere in the world. C: I guess you are translating the Chinese directly, aren’t you?”世界的每一个角落”) conveniently and rapidly .If Tang Sanzang lives in contemporary society, he can travel to India easily . And as what we have witnessed these years, due to the development of internet, we now enjoy a kind of more comfortable and efficient way of shopping-- shopping on the internet. In brief, technological advancement increase people's efficiency in every walks of people's lives.
However, while people's efficiency in many aspects increase dramatically, people have no more(R: no so much) leisure time than(R: as) before. Because of the rapid pace of lives and increasing pressure, instead of having more leisure time, people have to study, work and mediate more than their predecessors. It is a common view that when one is having breakfast, he / she also is watching a piece of newspaper. Recently the CCTV make a survey about the topic that how much leisure time do you have everyday? About 65 million people from all over China respond this survey. The average hours a person have in(R: for) leisure time is 1.2 hours. What a terrible number. 1.2 is too less compare to 24, and it is unwise and detrimental for people if they neglects the importance of exercise and leisure.
Actually, the increase of people's efficiency is a two- edge sword(R: two edged sword). Besides to work and study more efficiently , people should know there are other things (A: that) are also important to them, such as exercise, leisure , communication and so on. We should take advantage of technological advancement properly ,or we will become soulless and cold-hearted machines.
(C: it is very good for you to raise the idea of “two edged sword”, but afterwards you are however talking about the same stuff as the last paragraph.)
To sum up, although technological advancement increase people's efficiency ,it does not mean we have more leisure time. We should take advantage of technological advancement properly , not just to work or study efficiently.(C: Basically I don’t favor this thesis sentence. It is quite obscure, isn’t it?) |
