My vision of technology in the future
科技日新月异,不断推动着人类社会的进步。未来人们学习、工作等方面又会是什么样呢?
Technology will advance in the future, which will result in useful tools for schools and offices.Individuals will make use of the new changes in their own homes and in their personal lives, making their tasks easier in many ways.
Most students will one day carry laptops (笔记本电脑) instead of notebooks when going to school.Text books will be online. Students will take notes and do many assignments on computers and use online research tools at a young age. However, teachers will continue to be trained to understand that every student has a unique learning style. Some students will learn well while using technology but traditional methods will need to be continued in order to reach all learners.Although the tools for instruction may change, the basic way humans learn to read and process information remains the same.
Many youths do not know a world without technology. When they reach the workplace, they will be used to using much technical equipment in their daily lives. Touch-screen computers will become commonplace in desk jobs, in restaurants, when checking in at the doctor, and in other customer-related situations.
Jobs in factories will change as computerized methods of measuring and checking finished products will end the need for many human inspectors (检查员).There will be even more automation (自动化) than today.
Farming will also continue to advance. Farmers will be able to calculate (计算) soil conditions for seed growth and use very accurate GPS to track seed placement to have good harvests. Increased automation in machinery for both seeding and harvest will make the process more efficient (效率高的).
Computerized tools will warn construction workers of inaccuracies and guide them in the placement of building materials while processing digital blueprints (模板). This will make their work more accurate and efficient. Construction will also be more efficient as heating and cooling leaks (缝隙) are discovered by computers. Road repairs will also be finished more quickly and accurately as new ways are developed to discover the weaknesses and repair them in an efficient manner,so traffic is not affected. Better surface material will be discovered for roads that will be more resistant to heat and cold.

[自我总结]
动词的及物或不及物是在英语学习中必须解决的首要问题。动词及物与不及物通常有以下几种情况:
1.及物动词:及物动词后面必须跟宾语。可以用于:“主+谓+宾”;“主+谓+双宾”;“主+谓+宾+宾补”结构。
2.不及物动词:不及物动词后面不跟宾语。只能用于:“主+谓”结构。
3.既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词,其意义不变。如begin都是作“开始”讲。
4.既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词,其意义完全不同。如lift vt.“升高,举起”;vi.“被提起来,(雾、云)消散”。
及物动词与不及物动词
英语中按动词后可否直接跟宾语,可把动词分成及物动词(transitive verb)与不及物动词(intransitive verb)。及物动词后面必须跟宾语意义才完整,不及物动词后不能直接跟宾语,若要跟宾语,必须先在其后添加上某个介词,然后再跟宾语。
一、及物动词
及物动词常用于以下结构:
1.主语+谓语+宾语
He reached Paris the day before yesterday.(Paris是reached的宾语)他前天到达巴黎。
2.主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语
直接宾语是动词的直接作用对象,通常指事物,间接宾语是事物接受者,通常是人。
Please hand me the book over there.(me是hand的间接宾语,the book是直接宾语)
请把那儿的那本书递给我。
当间接宾语位于直接宾语后面时,常在前面加介词to,有时用for。
I sent an email to my American teacher.
我给我的美国老师发了电子邮件。
He bought a present for my daughter.
他给我的女儿买了一份礼物。
3.主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语
宾语补足语通常由名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、不定式、现在分词或过去分词担任。
They asked us to go fishing with them.(us是asked的宾语,to go fishing是宾语补足语)
This concert made her a popular singer overnight.
这场音乐会使她一夜之间成为深受人们喜爱的歌手。
Satellites make TV accessible to people who live far away from cities.
卫星使得远离城市的人们也能接收电视节目。
He found himself lying in bed when he came to life.
当他苏醒时,他发现自己躺在床上。
Don't always keep the children indoors.
不要让孩子总是待在家里。
大多数及物动词都可以用于被动语态。
His book has been translated into different languages.
他的书已经被翻译成不同的语言。
The early record players were wound up by hand.
早期的录音机是用手摇的。
二、不及物动词
1.不及物动词不跟宾语,也不能用于被动语态,但常常带状语。
My watch stopped.我的表停了。
She spoke at the meeting yesterday evening.
她在昨天晚上的会上发了言。
More challenges lie ahead of me.
在我面前有更多的挑战。
The waters rose higher and higher,as a result,more than 1,000 people had to leave their homes.水位升得越来越高,结果1000多人不得不离开他们的家园。
2.有些不及物动词可以与介词搭配,再接宾语。
The children are listening to the music.
孩子们正在听音乐。
三、兼作及物动词和不及物动词
英语里有些动词可以兼作及物动词和不及物动词。这样的动词又有两种不同的情况:
1.兼作及物动词和不及物动词时,意义不变。
Shall I begin at once?(begin作不及物动词)
我可以立刻开始吗?
She began working as a librarian after she left school.(began作及物动词)
她毕业后当图书馆管理员。
When did they leave Beijing?(leave作及物动词)
他们是什么时候离开北京的?
They left last week.(left作不及物动词)
他们是上周离开的。
2.兼作及物动词和不及物动词时,意义不尽相同。
Finally,her parents approved of her marriage.
最后,她父母同意了她的婚姻。
Congress approved the bill.
国会批准了这法案。
四、注意英汉差异
有时英语动词的及物和不及物的用法,与汉语的用法不一样,请注意下列两种情况:
1.有的动词在英语里只能用作不及物动词,而在汉语里则可用作及物动词,如arrive,“到达”;agree,“同意”;listen,“听”。英语里这些动词后面常接介词,再接宾语。
We arrived at the railway station at noon.
我们中午到达火车站。(at不能省去)(比较:We reached the railway station at noon.)
Do they agree to the plan?
他们同意这个计划吗?(to不可省去)
2.有的动词在英语里能用作及物动词,而在汉语里则不能用作及物动词,如serve,“为……服务”。
Our children are taught to serve the people heart and soul.我们的儿童被教育要全心全意为人民服务。
综上所述,有些动词只能作及物动词,不可以单独用,后面必须跟宾语;有些动词只能作不及物动词,它们可以单独用,如果后面需要接宾语,动词后面必须加上特定的介词;有些动词既可以用作及物动词,又可以用作不及物动词,但是有时候词义会改变。当使用动词时,一定要分清楚这个动词属于哪一类,然后再根据不同的使用规则使用不同的动词。
