The main drawbacks of the Internet I will address today are that it has too much information that has not been evaluated for accuracy, and that it is transforming the way people spend their time.
今天我要指出的因特網主要的缺點是,互聯網上有大量未經精確度評估的信息,正改變人們消耗時間的方式。
Of course, access to up-to-date, accurate information is an important thing for anyone who is doing research.
當然,使用更新的、精確的信息是調查中所有人都認可的。
One great advantages of the Internet is that it provides this information.
因特網最大的優點之一是它提供這些信息。
One great weakness of the Internet, though, is that it is difficult to know whether the information is true and accurate.
然而,因特網的一個巨大缺點是,判定信息是真實的、精確的非常困難。
The huge amount of false information on the Internet becomes more of a problem every day.
這些因特網上大量的錯誤信息逐漸成為超乎一般的難題。
This is very troublesome because we cannot always tell if the information is true or not.
這是非常棘手的,因為我們無法一直判斷信息的真實性。
In 2003, eBay, the famous website where people buy and sell things, said that 70 percent of their problems were with people who sold things that did not exist,
2003年,著名的網購網站——易趣網聲稱,在他們面臨的問題中,70%都與那些銷售根本不存在商品的人有關,

或者和那些吹噓自己所賣商品的人有關。
Educators around the world complain that students are handing in papers using false information they found on the Internet.

These problems do not occur as often when people use traditional reference materials, such as books, newspapers and magazines.
當人們使用傳統的參考讀物如從書本、報紙和雜志上尋找信息時,這種信息不準確的問題就不會那么頻繁發生。
