The Most Impressive Invention

印象最深刻的发明

范文

　　Many interesting and exciting items have been invented over the years. I think that the telephone is the best invention of all. It is so great because it has changed people's lives dramatically. Before the telephone, the most common way to contact people was by sending a letter. However, this took a long time, especially before modern transportation. Likewise, it took a long time for a reply to be received. Today, people can simply pick up the phone and call another person anywhere in the world instead of waiting weeks or months for the mail.

　　The speed and convenience of the telephone have made the world a different place in many ways. Businesses can receive orders much faster than in the past. Also, friends and relatives have a more efficient method of keeping in touch. In summary, the invention of the telephone has made life better and more interesting for everyone.

　　多年来，已经有许多有趣及令人兴奋的物品被发明出来。而我觉得电话是所有发明中最棒的一项。它这么棒的原因是因为它大大地改变了人们的生活。在电话发明之前，和他人连系最常见的方式就是寄信。然而，这会花很长的时间，特别是在现代的运输工具出现之前。同样地，收到回信也会花很长的时间。现今人们只要拿起话筒就可以拨打给另外一个身在世界任何地方的人，而不需要等待数周或数个月才会收到的信件。

　　电话的速度与便利已经让世界在许多方面都成为不一样的地方了。企业接订单的速度可以比过去快得多。此外，这也是朋友和亲戚保持联系更有效的方式。总而言之，电话的发明让每个人的生活更美好也更有趣。

　　Of all the great inventions in the history of mankind, my pick for the best is one device that we take for granted today—the telephone. The telephone has revolutionized the way people communicate with each other. By doing so, it has transformed the world, making the distance between people in different parts of the globe far shorter. After it was created and implemented in mainstream society, what would have seemed impossible before the telephone became not only feasible but also commonplace.

　　Anyone who doubts that telephones are amazing inventions should imagine life without them. Many people these days have a hard time going five minutes without their cell phones. Try to think what life was like for those living 150 years ago. If they wanted or needed to contact someone, they had to mail a letter, send a telegraph, or, if the distance was not too far, walk, cycle, or ride a horse to contact them. In short, the telephone is a marvelous invention that has had a huge impact on the entire planet.

　　在人类历史上所有伟大的发明当中，我觉得最棒的就是我们今天视为理所当然的一项设备——电话。电话已经彻底改变了人们相互沟通的方式。用电话相互沟通的方式已经改变了世界，也大大缩短了居住在地球上不同地方的人们之间的距离。在电话被创造并运用在主流社会之后，那些在电话出现之前似乎是不可能的事情都变得不但可行而且很常见了。

　　任何怀疑电话是一项惊人发明的人应该想象一下没有电话的生活。这年头，很多人只要五分钟没有手机就会觉得浑身不对劲。试着想想看，那些活在一百五十年前的人们过的是什么生活。如果他们想要或是需要联系某人，就必须寄信、发电报，或者如果距离不是太远的话，他们会走路、骑脚踏车，或是骑马与他人联系。简言之，电话是一项了不起的发明，它已经在整个地球上产生了巨大的影响。
