问题     Some people say that computers can translate all kinds of languages. Therefore, it is not necessary for children to learn foreign languages.
    To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     The fantastic development of computers has made it possible for people to live better than ever possible before. It seems that people can never do without them. One good illustration is that with computers updating, all kinds of languages can now be translated by computers. Some people even hold the opinion that with this, children do not need to learn foreign languages. The argument seems reasonable, but speaking for myself, I totally disagree with it.
    The quality of computer translation cannot be ensured. It is clear that computers can only translate literally or word by word. Sometimes, we find ourselves confused by the head-scratching puzzlement about what they really want to tell. What makes matters worse is that machine translation is used in literature and science translation. The prime of some masterpieces can never be appreciated and some facts may be distorted.
    Additionally, a foreign language is always closely related to a country’s cultures and customs. To study a foreign language well, one is supposed to not only focus on language learning itself, but also attach importance to a country’s cultures and customs from which the language stems. This practice can only be experienced by a learner himself. Computer translation, in this case, settles nothing and cannot replace people’s own efforts.
    The charm of a language also lies in the fact that it is a precious gift of human beings. When studying a foreign language, students can develop their intelligence, stimulate their imagination and creativity, form a good habit of industry and strengthen their confidence. The process of learning a foreign language is actually the way to cultivate students’ all-around development. Computer translation, no matter how wonderful it is, can never play such a role in this process.
    Eye-catching as computer translation may seem, it is by no means a cure-all solution. Maybe, with it, students can study a foreign language better. However, it cannot replace the role of students in learning a foreign language. After all, it is human beings who are the master of languages.
