雅思寫作八分典型作文：計算機的利與弊

　　Some people claim that public museums and art galleries will not be needed because people can see historical objects and works of art by using a computer Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

　　宣稱歷史文物和藝術作品都可以從電腦上看到，因此公共博物館和藝術畫廊便不再需要了簡直就是荒唐。

　　It is simply absurd to assert that with historical objects and works of art being able to be seen through a computer， public museums and art galleries will no longer be needed

　　首先，電腦永遠替代不了真正的公共博物館和藝術畫廊。不管電腦影像何等真實、形象，它們依然僅僅是影像而已，不是我們真正看到的、甚或還會被許可用指端觸摸一下的歷史文物和藝術作品。對于那些聲稱因為可以從電腦屏幕上看到想看的一切，所以博物館和藝術畫廊沒有繼續存在必要的人們，我想建議他們就從電腦里娶個太太或者嫁個丈夫得了，犯不著去娶嫁真實生活中的人！

　　First of all， computers can never replace real public museums and art galleries No matter how real and vivid computer images are， they are only images， not the historical objects and works of art that we see in real or even might be allowed to touch with our fingertips For those who claim museums and galleries are no longer needed because they can see all they want to on a computer screen， I’d like to suggest that they marry a wife or husband in the computer rather than in real life!

　　其次，參觀真實的博物館和藝術畫廊在多方面有益。一來可以鍛煉身體：在我們趕往博物館或者藝術畫廊并漫步現場的過程中，我們得到了一些鍛煉，這對我們的身體健康有諸多好處。二來我們可以大飽眼福，親眼看到那里的所有物件并切身體會那種神奇、美妙和精湛的工藝。這個過程是主動地看我們想看的一切，不是被動地去看別人在電腦屏幕上展示給我們的。再來就是我們離開電腦去現場觀看真實物件可以保護我們的視力。

　　In the second place， visiting real museums and art galleries is a rewarding experience in many respects For one thing， it is a good exercise While we are making the trip to a museum or art gallery and then strolling about on site， we get some exercise which does a lot of good to our health For another thing， we can feast our eyes on all kinds of things there and experience the wonder， beauty and exquisite workmanship with our own eyes in an active way instead of in a passive manner by looking at what are being displayed to us by others on the screen For yet another thing， we protect our eyesight by moving away from the computer screen and see the real objects on site

　　電腦給我們的生活帶來了很多方便，這是真的。有時候，特別是當我們暫時不能親臨博物館和藝術畫廊時，我們可以大概了解一下現場都展示了哪些東西。然而，我們從電腦屏幕上看到的與我們現場親眼看到和感受到的畢竟是不完全一樣的。

　　It is true that computers have brought great conveniences to our life At certain times， especially when it is temporarily impossible for us to visit museums and art galleries in person， we can get a rough picture of what are on display on site However， what we see from a computer screen is， after all， not exactly the same as what we see and feel with our own eyes on site

　　由此我們可以得出結論：電腦永遠不可能替代真實的博物館和藝術畫廊。因此，說不需要去博物館和畫廊了因為歷史文物和藝術作品都可以通過電腦屏幕來欣賞了是荒謬的。

　　In conclusion， computers will never be able to replace real public museums and art galleries Therefore， it is ridiculous to say that one does not need to go to museums and art galleries as historical objects and works of art can be appreciated on a computer screen
