專四范文:
Computers Are More Important Than Books
電腦比書籍更為重要。
From my standpoint, I would vote for the purchase of computers instead of books for the following reasons.
我贊同購買電腦,而不是購買圖書。
First, in order to keep abreast of the digital era, every university should be equipped with an adequate number of computers. Students should also be taught the basics of computer science so that they will not lag behind. The importance of computer skills is evidenced by the fact that most companies require their prospective employees to be proficient in commonly used software, such as Microsoft Office. Secondly, the creation of e-books has rendered traditional books obsolete at least to some extent. Students can download even audio books via the Internet and the rich variety ensures that each individual can procure what he or she desires. Lastly, it is unrealistic to keep the university library up to date owing to the rapid development of modern society. Therefore, the university should allocate its limited financial resources to purchase computers which enable students to keep up with the latest development via the aid of the Internet.
首先,為了跟上電子時代的步伐,每所學校都應該配備一定數量的電腦。老師應該教授學生基本的電腦知識,只有這樣,他們才不會落后。電腦技能的重要性體現在:絕大部分的公司都要求他們未來的員工可以熟練掌握基本的軟件技能,例如微軟。第二,電子圖書的發明在一定程度上使得傳統書籍過于過時。學生可以通過互聯網下載有聲圖書,這些資源可以保證學生獲得他們想要的資源。最后,讓大學圖書館實時更新是不現實的,這是因為現代社會的不斷發展。所以,大學應該把它們有限的資金來購買電腦,這樣,學生可以通過互聯網的幫助來獲取最新的發展
All in all, admittedly, one should not belittle the importance of books. After all, books have been employed as a major means to disseminate knowledge. Nonetheless, the inexorable trend of computerisation in the 21st century renders it imperative for universities to be equipped with computers as well as other multimedia devices.
總之,不得不承認,人們也不應該忽視書籍的重要性。畢竟,書籍也是傳播知識的重要載體。但是,21世紀電子化的時代不可逆轉,所以大學也將不可避免地提供電腦,以及其他多媒體設備。
