Globally, we have moved from a culture centered on network television, cable, AM and FM radio and telephone into a digital society with mass media,streaming information, intelligent computer. To shift to a digital economy, best demonstrated by the explosive growth of the Internet, is transforming everyday products and practices. Ideas expressed in soft wares, chips, communication systems, financial institutions and mass media have enormous leverage worldwide. Beyond emails and online shopping, the Internet promises to change dramatically huge spectrum activities. Its benefits can be well illustrated in the following aspects.
在全球範圍內，我們已經從一個文化中心為網絡電視，有線電視，AM和FM收音機，電話的社會進入到以大眾媒體，信息流，智能計算機的數字社會。轉變成數字經濟，最明顯體現在互聯網的爆增，它正在改變日常產品和實踐。思想體現在軟件，芯片，通信系統，金融機構和大眾媒體擁有巨大的全球影響力上。除了電子郵件和網上購物，互聯網還承諾大改光譜活動。它的好處可以在以下幾個方面説明。
In the first place, it contributes to escape us from laborious work, save our time, facilitate our lives. Secondly, with computer’s extensive reach into every corner of the world, a perspective of human life can be shown only with a single keystroke. No matter where we are, in school, business workshops, operating rooms, labs, banks of halls of government, the Internet appears to reflect a perspective of human life. Furthermore, computer profits us by relaxation and entertainment it provides.
首先，它有助於我們擺脱費力的工作，節省時間，方便了我們的生活。其次，計算機的廣泛延伸到世界的每個角落，只需一個單一的按鍵就可以透視人類生活。不管我們在哪裏，在學校，企業車間，手術室，實驗室，銀行政府大廳，因特網似乎都可以反映人類生活。此外，電腦不僅提供放鬆和娛樂還有利潤。
But on the other hand, some people debate that it is also inconvenient, waste the time, isolated us from people, and make our lives more complicated. Some people repair the most sophisticated computer but can’t mend a pair of socks. Yet in fact, computer collapse the distances and demolishes all boundaries. Whether computer is a blessing or a curse, depends on different circumstance and the way you use it.
但另一方面，一些人反對説電腦也很不方便，浪費時間，和人們孤立起來，並使我們的生活更復雜。有些人會修理最複雜的計算機，但卻不能修補一雙襪子。但事實上，電腦消滅了距離並拆除所有的界限。計算機是祝福還是詛咒，取決於不同的情況和使用它的方式。
As a new millennium approach, we look forward to constructing a new fantasy land by combination with the wealth this new age will bring and the high technology it will provide.
作為一個新千年的方式，我們期待通過結合這個新時代將帶來的財富與高技術所提供的來建立一個夢想中的樂園
From my point of view, we should change ourselves when the situation can’t be changed any more. Difficulties hide in every corner of our life so we have to face them at times. But the problem is that we sometimes are not able to change the challenging situations at all as our abilities are limited. When it comes, we’d better change our attitude towards these difficulties. Only in this way can we get rid of the tough surroundings and be happy.
Something like that happened to me once. There was a time when I was laughed at by my classmates while I was walking. I was puzzled so I asked them why they laughed at me. One of them told me that the way I walked was very strange and funny. I was sad but I just couldn’t change the way I walked. And the situation of being laughed at by those people didn’t stop. Therefore, I changed my attitude towards the incident. I ignored those comments on me and walked as I used to. The comments soon disappeared and I was so glad to have succeeded in the quiet war.
So in my opinion, we should change ourselves first and then the situation can be changed at last. It is very difficult for us to change our surroundings but much easier to change ourselves. People around us will see our change, after which they may change their attitude toward us.
Nowadays, thanks to the reform and opening-up policy, great changes have taken place in countryside. Now let me introduce some changes in details.
如今，由於改革開放政策，在農村發生了巨大變化。現在讓我介紹一些具體的變化。
In the past, farmers used to live in the huts which were in poor quality. They would be destroyed easily in the heavy storm. But nowadays, most farmers have their own houses and flats. Some houses are even bigger and more marvelous than the ones in the city.
過去，農民們常常住在質量差的小屋。這樣的小屋在暴雨中很容易會被破壞。但如今，大多數農民都有自己的房子和公寓。有些房子甚至比城市裏的更大、更不可思議。
In the past, farmers usually starved to death in disasters, because they had nothing to eat. But nowadays, farmers can plant many corps to live with or sell them. No wonder that most of them are wealthy.
在過去，農民通常餓死在災難中，因為他們沒有東西可以吃。但現在，農民可以種植很多莊稼來維持生活或者拿來出售。難怪大部分都是富有的。
In the past, farmers were hardly to see the outside world, since they had to tramp over the mountains if they wanted to go out. But nowadays, many high ways and tunnels have been built, so it’s convenient for them to go out. Moreover, most farmers also have their private cars. Therefore, they can go anywhere they like.
在過去，農民們很難看看外面的世界，因為如果他們想出去的話，他們不得不徒步翻山越嶺。但現在，建立了很多高速公路、隧道，人們出去是很方便的。此外，大多數的農民也有自己的私家車。因此，他們可以去任何他們喜歡的地方。
In the past, farmers always suffered from the diseases, because there was no doctor at all. But nowadays, many hospitals have come into being in countryside, so they can be cured in time.
在過去，農民經常遭受病痛，因為根本就沒有醫生。但如今，在農村裏也有很多醫院了，所以他們可以及時得到治癒。
In the past, it was difficult for children to study in countryside. But nowadays, as there are so many schools in countryside, more and more children can get a better education.
在過去，農村的孩子很難去上學。但現在，因為在農村有很多學校，越來越多的孩子可以得到更好的教育。
What a wonderful life in countryside. Maybe countryside will be more thriving than the city in the near future.
在農村的生活是多麼美好啊。也許在不久的將來農村會比城市更加繁榮。
