Nowadays, it is possible to sue computers and mobile phones to translate language. Do you think this development have more advantages or more disadvantages?
With the convenience of being able to translate languages on lots of devices these days, there are positives and negatives to this topic. However, I contend that it had more advantages than disadvantages.
【这是一个非常简洁的introduction，一共两句话——paraphrase + state own idea。具体的分析和辩论，就留待正文吧！】
On one hand, having computers and portable devices is a major advantage as one is able to translate languages instantaneously through these gadgets. The convenience of being able to interpret a different language on-the-go negates the need for looking for words in a multilingual dictionary. For instance, Android interface mobile phones these days such as Samsung devices provide users the ability to utilise applications like Google Translate that is able to translate texts to over 100 languages immediately. Hence, on-the-spot translations that are available on electronic devices are extremely beneficial.
【首先，作者提到的是advantages——能够随时随地及时的进行翻译。这其实是非常方便的。比如说，大家都非常熟悉的Google Translate，这个例子举得非常的生活化，相信大家的手机或者平板电脑里，都多多少少用过类似的翻译软件吧？比如有道词典，等等等等。这也非常好的说明了这一类翻译软件的是非常方便，非常有用的。】
On the other hand,machinery is not able to convey the tone of certain languages that a person can, and is therefore a disadvantage. Languages with a wide range of tonal variations such as Mandarin or Cantonese are complex to grasp just by translations on computers or phones. For instance, there are six different tones in Cantonese, the nuances in how to speak it properly would be lacking just by learning the language through electronic devices as opposed to relying on a teacher.Therefore,language translations on devices can be seen as a disadvantages as they cannot capture different tones.
【前一段说了advantages，这一段就要开始详细分析disadvantages。最大的一个缺点，就是语言的Tone，是机器翻译无法达到的。作者举了Cantonese的例子，这就是要借助老师来学习的。大家可以学习一下nuance这个单词，意思是细微差别。以后就可以用到自己的文章中啦。】
I truly believe that the pros of interpreting different languages on electronic devices outweigh the cons as it is extremely convenient. Using these applications to quickly translate languages especially when one is travelling abroad is very easy and fast just from a click of a button. Due to this convenience, the advantages override the disadvantages.
【讨论完pros and cons之后，就需要解析一下——到底是more advantages还是more disadvantages？作者在Introduction段落就提到自己的观点是more advantages than disadvantages。】
In conclusion, whilst there are benefits and drawbacks of using mobile phones or computers to translate different languages, the points mentioned above highlight that there are more positives than negatives.
