参考范文
Debates have arisen concerning the advantages and disadvantages of the use of technology. 1 Proponents hold the view that the advancement of technology brings us into a more civilized and advanced society while 2 opponents contend that technological development produces negative by-products simultaneously—pollution, consumption of natural resources, and impairs the earth’s environment. They also believe the nuclear weapons will lead human beings to extinction.
As to me 3 , the advantages of technology outweigh its disadvantages. It changed the world we live in, our life style, and our way of thinking. It provides us with more diversified choices and it prolongs our life span. It is technology that makes the world convenient, colorful, and abundant. However, that doesn’t mean we should forget its downside. Nuclear disasters and environmental pollution are all disadvantages of technological development.
In summary, technology plays an important role in contemporary society. The pace of human progress will slow down without it. But its negative effect should not be neglected. Technology should be utilized and exploited wisely to ensure that it will benefit humanity but not be detrimental to the earth. 4
人们对科技应用的利弊有争议。支持者们认为，科技的进步把我们带进一个更为文明、更为先进的社会，而反对者们则认为科技发展的同时会产生一些消极的副产品——污染、自然资源消耗，而且对地球的环境有危害。他们还认为，核武器会把人类引向灭亡。
至于我，我认为科技的好处要远远大于弊端。它改变了我们生活的世界，我们的生活方式，以及我们的思维模式。它为我们提供了更加多样的选择，还延长了人类的寿命。正是科技使这个世界更便捷、更多彩、更丰富。然而，这并不意味着我们应该忽视它的弊端。核灾难、环境污染都是科技发展带来的弊端。
总之，科技在当代社会中起着重要的作用。没有科技，人类前进的步伐将变慢。但是我们也不应该忽视它消极的一面。应该明智地利用和开发科技，以保证科技能惠及人类而不是危害到地球。
