__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(
The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Consequently ,people are getting more opportunities to speak or meet another language but their own mother tongue with the development of the economy. Undoubtedly , an app of translation is crucial for people who cannot handle the language perfectly. But the viewpoints are split one whether this kind of apps are wholly a good thing.
Where there is a light , there is a shadow. Some people argue that a translation app will bridge them with the native speakers adequately no matter who will be a traveler or a businessman. It will pose a huge threat for people who can not understand what they say. Fortunately , everyone will interact richly with the apps like this. On the other hand, some people think that the translations app cannot fully create and convey the feelings on the authentic language. As a result , it will bring more misunderstandings. Besides, the opponents take the point of view that people will be more over-reliant on the mobile-phones and Internet.
Form where I stand , I would take the the translation on this kind of apps as a reference rather than a kind of dependence. The most effective and beneficial way to express yourself and communicate with a foreigner is to improve one's ability to exert this unfamiliar language. As an old saying goes is Practice makes perfect. ) 解析: 【参考译文】
在经济飞速发展的当下,人们有越来越多的机会使用外语。所以对那些外语说的没有那么好的人来说,一款翻译软件就至关重要。可是人们对这款软件却有不同的看法。
凡事皆有两面,有些人觉得这样的软件可以很好地沟通人们,不管你是旅行或者和一个外国人谈生意。如果语言不通会造成很大困扰,但有了这样的软件,大家的交流会更顺畅从而提高效率。但是另一方面,有些人会觉得这种软件有时候不能准确地表情达意从而造成误会,再者,这会使人过分依赖手机和网络。
于我而言,我觉得更好的是把这些软件里的翻译当作一种参考,而不应过度相信和使用。最有效和有用的提高个人表达自己和与外国人沟通能力的方式就是学会去掌握这门陌生语言,所谓熟能生巧。
