Step into the new century, television plays a very important role in people’s daily life. Some people believe that it is a blessing, while others argue that it is a curse to the society, epically to the teenagers. In my humble opinion, television has both advantages and disadvantages.
進(jìn)入新世紀(jì)以來(lái)，電視在人們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中扮演了重要的角色。有些人認(rèn)為電視的產(chǎn)生是件好事，有些人則認(rèn)為電視是對(duì)當(dāng)代社會(huì)的一個(gè)詛咒，特別是對(duì)青少年來(lái)說(shuō)。在我看來(lái)，電視有利有弊。

Television makes people realize what the rest of the world is going on. Before television was invented, people used newspapers, radio to spread the news. But none of this is faster than TV. If somewhere else is having an earthquake, we can know immediately. TV also makes our tedious life more colorful. As to those who retire, housewives, or kids who having their summer holiday, TV has been a good company. Turn on TV people can enjoy the latest films and programs without going to the cinema. It also offers specialized programs such as cooking, teaching, exercise and so on. It teaches us knowledge and broadens our horizon.
電視讓人們了解到世界上究竟發(fā)生了什么。在電視還沒(méi)有發(fā)明之前，人們通過(guò)報(bào)紙、廣播來(lái)溝通傳遞信息。但它們的傳播速度遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)比不上電視。如果某個(gè)地方發(fā)生了地震，我們馬上就能知道。電視也讓我們枯燥的生活變得有趣。對(duì)那些退休的人、家庭主婦、在家里度過(guò)暑假的孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)，電視是個(gè)很好的伙伴。打開(kāi)電視，不用去電影院，就能看到最新的電影和節(jié)目。電視也提供特殊的節(jié)目，例如烹飪、教學(xué)、健身等等。它教給我們知識(shí)，擴(kuò)寬我們的眼界。

Just like each coin has two sides, television is no exception. It can be harmful too. Some of the programs are too violence for teenagers to watch. Fake advertising are full of mid-night programs. And some people complain that TV takes up all their free time, they don’t even have time to go outside for family reunions or hang out with their friends any more. Some of them are so indulge in TV that they become potato couch. Some people say that watching TV is a waste of time.
就像任何硬幣都有兩面，電視也不例外。它也會(huì)給人帶來(lái)害處。有些電視節(jié)目過(guò)于暴力不適合青少年觀看。虛假?gòu)V告充斥著午夜節(jié)目。有些人抱怨到電視占用了人們過(guò)多的自由時(shí)間，他們都沒(méi)空參加家庭聚會(huì)或者與朋友們一起外出游玩了。更有甚者過(guò)度沉迷于電視，以至于變成了“馬鈴薯沙發(fā)”。看電視簡(jiǎn)直就是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間啊！

To sum up, we should hold the right attitude toward TV. We should use it in an appropriate way, shorten the time that we spend on TV, only watch the meaningful programs. Only in this way can we benefit a lot from it.
總的來(lái)說(shuō)，我們應(yīng)該對(duì)電視持一個(gè)正確的態(tài)度。正確的使用電視，減少看電視的時(shí)間，只看那些有意義的節(jié)目。只有這樣，我們才能夠從中獲取好處。
