Question

帮忙翻译一下这篇英语短文

What will man be like in the future? How about in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average （按平均计算） , men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may guess that man will continue to grow taller.

Again, in modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity . As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and finally we shall need even larger ones! This is likely to bring about （致使） a physical change, too. The head, in particular （特别是） the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive （敏感的） because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald （无发或少发的） .

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common （与…有共同点） with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

Answer 1

人类将来会变成怎样?5000甚至50000年以后，人类会怎样?我们只能做一个猜想,当然,但我们可以相信他跟现在相比会有很大的不同。因为人是慢慢发生进化的。

让我们举一个例子。人类算在五百年前,也比如今的人要矮。现今,人类平均有3英寸高。500年是一段相对短暂的时间,所以我们可以猜人类在以后还会继续长高。

其次,我们现在的大脑很发达。但我们利用的只有大约20%的大脑的能力。随着时间的推移,我们必须用我们的大脑越来越频繁，最后我们将需要更大的脑袋!这很可能会导致头部的变化，特别是额头,将会越来越大。

如今我们的眼睛总是在不停的工作着。我们那么经常的使用它们,以至视力下降,我们就不得不戴眼镜。但是在很长一段时间后，人的眼睛很有可能会变得越来越大。

另一方面,我们倾向于不那么频繁的使用我们的胳膊和腿。这可能会导致它们的功能越来越弱。然而,与此同时,因为我们经常用手指，以至于我们的手指会变得更加灵敏.

那头发呢？因为它没有存在的价值，所以它有可能会从你的身体完全消失,。在未来的日子里,两性都很可能会秃头。

也许未来的人并不是很有魅力!但尽管有所变化,未来的人和现在的人类还会有很多的共同点。毕竟，他仍然是人类,拥用自己的思想和情感。

Answer 2

人类未来会变成什么样子？在5000年甚至50000年以后？我们只能做一些猜测。当然，我们能确定的是他肯定和今天的不一样。因为人类一直在缓慢地变化着。
让我们做个假设，人类，即使是500年前的，也比现在的矮。现在，按平均算，人类大约长了3英寸，500年相对于历史只是很多的一段时期。因此我们可以猜测，人类将会继续长高。
接着，在当今社会，我们大量地使用我们的头脑，即使这样我们依旧只用了大脑20%的容量。
