專四范文:
One Major Advantage of Electronic Dictionaries
電子詞典的一個主要優勢
Electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among students nowadays. As a result, they may eventually render printed dictionaries obsolete! Undeniably electronic dictionaries contain a number of merits in comparison to their printed counterparts and therefore, I would like to suggest one major advantage of electronic dictionaries.
電子詞典現在越來越受學生的歡迎。結果,他們最終可能會使紙質詞典過時了!不可否認的是,電子詞典包含許多優點,與它們的紙質版本相比。因此,我想提出電子詞典一個重要的優點。
Perhaps the most pronounced advantage of electronic dictionaries is that all of them are portable and consequently easy to carry around, whether in a pocket or a bag. Students can put the dictionary in their pocket and look up new words whenever and wherever they are. This is a huge advantage over the traditional large paper bound dictionary because size really does matter. This compactness means not only that electronic dictionaries are getting smaller and lighter as well as incorporating a bigger memory but also that dictionaries can be installed into other small portable devices such as mobile phones. Although smaller in some people's view means less availability of memory and other functions, with the increasing advances made in nanotechnology this is no longer the cases.
也許電子詞典最明顯的優點是他們都是可便攜的,因此容易隨身攜帶,可以放在口袋或包里。學生可以把字典放在他們的口袋里,任何時候、任何地點都能用字典查找生詞,這是一個很大的優勢,因為傳統的紙質字典尺寸很大。這種簡潔性不只是說電子詞典尺寸越來越小,重量越來越輕,而且容量越來越大,還可以安裝到其他小型的便攜式設備上,如移動電話。雖然"更小"在一些人的觀念中意味著,可用內存和其他功能更少。在納米技術日益進步的當今時代,情況不再是這樣的了。
In the final analysis, electronic dictionaries are the by-product of the inexorable progress of computerization, miniaturization and nanotechnology which has meant that one of their biggest advantages is their small size while still enjoying all the benefits of earlier, larger models.
在最后的分析中,電子詞典是電子計算機化,小型化和納米技術發展的副產品。這意味著電子詞典的最大優勢是尺寸小,而且還能具有大尺寸版本的所有好處。
