论文部分内容阅读
【选注者言:前几年,笔者在《大学英语阅读文选》上曾经读到过一篇文章,其标题是Missing:1000,000 Children a Year。美国每年失踪的儿童如此之多,令人大为震惊！读到本文,略感欣慰,因为有了现代科技的襄助,失踪儿童“失而复得”的情况越来越多了。本文有一句话,非常实在: Economists debate whether technology has increased productivity.Sociologistsargue whether instant communication has improved or damaged the quality or life。But technology has had a quantifible(可以计量的)impact in at least one area:itis helping to bring home thousands of missing children。 然而,在阅读本文的过程中,笔者的心依然沉重,因为,本文揭露了美国(一个被世界很多人视作天堂,一个被自诩为“人权王国”的国度)的令人有点毛骨悚然的黑暗现实！】
[Elective commenters say: In the past few years, the author once read an article in the “Collective English Reading”, whose title is Missing: 1000,000 Children a Year. It is shocking that so many children are missing in the United States every year! I am somewhat gratified to read this article. With the aid of modern science and technology, there are more and more cases of missing children recovering. This article has a saying, very real: Economists debate whether technology has increased productivity.Sociologistsargue whether instant communication has improved or damaged the quality or life. But technology has had a quantifible (impactable) in at least one area:itis helping to bring home thousands of missing children. However, in the process of reading this article, the author’s heart is still heavy, because this article exposes the chilling darkness of the United States (a world that many people regard as heaven, and a country that is professed as “the kingdom of human rights”). reality! 】
