指导
本题讨论科技发展目标以及发展结果的问题。和这道题目很相似的是ISSUE124(Instant foods, instant communication, faster transportationall of these recent developments are designed to save time. Ironically, though, instead of making more leisure time available, these developments have contributed to a pace of human affairs that is more rushed and more frantic than ever before)。前半部分是个大家熟悉的命题,赞成和反对都容易展开;后半句将提高效率与更多休闲时间进行联系,可以从二者的因果关系以及必要性等角度去论述。
1. 科技的发展为什么要提高人们的效率?这样做的原因是什么?效果如何?请结合具体事例简述。
回答:
The agility, accuracy provided by the ever-changing technology would make up the deficiency of human labor in both mental and physical level, so the technology is sure to improve our efficiency,
2. 技术进步除了提升效率之外,为每个人的生活还带来了什么?
回答:
While improving the efficiency, the modern technologies serves in essence as tools which would bring a variety of conveniences as we expect. Those conveniences would facilitate our daily lives, such as mobile phone facilitating our communication and household apparatus making the housework easy.
3. 都有哪些因素影响了休闲时间的多少?在休息的时候大家都会做什么?每个人的选择一样么?
回答:
The daily life, whether the working hour or the leisure time we past with the new technologies is certainly with more efficiency, but in a manner of speaking, our leisure time is not merely filled with but actually flooded with technological and innovational gadgets. We always expect to complete more in our leisure time so that we feel it become intense, tight and nervous.
4. 闲暇时间是由效率决定的吗?效率与休闲之间是否存在对立关系?
回答:
The technology would influence the leisure time, but not absolutely determine it. The relationship between the two is dialectic instead of definitely antagonistic.
