Question

英语翻译

My friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. "That young woman who just waited on me," he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, "had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (现金出纳机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins." I understood Mike's concern. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative (有创造力的). The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.
It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.
It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy – reading books. Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination.

Answer 1

我的朋友迈克摇了摇头怀疑。“那位年轻的女人刚招待我,”他说,指着的员工在我们快餐店正吃的时候,“不得不打电话给一个人过来帮她的说法改变。现金出纳机收银机)显示(99美分,我需要她,但她没能想出如何地数出硬币。”我明白了迈克的关注。我们所做的一切都在这个国家,虽然无心,是创造的几代个人大部分不知道如何理性;如何做简单的数学,如何做研究;或者,最后,如何创造性(有创造力的)。这一现象的原因可能是我们的过度使用信息技术:视频游戏,电视、数字手表、计算器、和电脑。信息技术给我们吃信息不需要我们去想它,让我们不理解他们的手术。
现在是时候我们很惊讶的看着盘中一个教育体制,只有教导孩子们如何面对按钮。我们的孩子不能告诉如果时钟的手。他们可以利用计算器,但不能加、减,分上、或叠加。电子游戏已取代了积极的、富于想象玩。虽然他们大多在技术上能读写,但选择不读。他们是如此习惯于电视和电影,他们不能使用他们的想象力呆感兴趣的书。
它不是意识到这个问题的存在。我们需要的是一个解决办法。我提供简单的答案,但可能不能执行。我们必须把我们的孩子。如果我们没有,他们将永远不会学习解决问题的方法。他们将永远不会了解到甚至基本推理技能和一定会不发展创造力。而不是灌装教室、光电结合我们集中将好的老式素质——读书。学生必须被教不履行的死记硬背的计算机操作(死记),而是图和原因,为自己。他们必须看事情怎么工作和过程导致的结果,他们也必须stret
