t handle all the problems we have brought to it. 第二段： （概述科技的两面性） Technology has helped, and it has hurt. （具体讨论科技的贡献） Without it, we would never have our standard of living, nor quality of nutrition, expectation of a long and productive life span, and the unshakable belief that our lives can be made even better. （具体讨论科技的危害） But it has also brought us universal pollution, weapons so powerful as to be capable of rendering us extinct, and the consequent fear for our survival as species and as a pla. Technology is indeed a doubleedged sword. （表明已考虑到科技的危害，但是依然坚持自己立场） And yet, I still have to argue in its favor, because without it, we have no hope. 第三段： （提出反方的立场） Some might argue that we would be better off without technology. They might say that a return to a less technologically driven approach to life would have the benefits of reducing stress and allowing us to live simpler, happier lives, like those of our forebears. Such an idea is seductive, so much so that much of art and all of nostalgia are devoted to it. （通过具体论据反驳反方的观点） But upon closer inspection, one realizes that such a move would only return us to a life of different kinds of stress, one of false simplicity, one fraught with danger. It would be a life without antibiotics where a minor cut could prove deadly. It would be a life where childbirth is the main killer of women, and where an emergency is dealt with in terms of hours and days instead of minutes and hours。 a life where there are no phones or cars or planes or central heating, no proven drug therapies to treat mental illness, no puters. Would this world really make people happy? 第四段： （在第三段驳论的基础上进一步立论） What we already have, we have. And since the only way to move is forward, instead of allowing ourselves to be paralyzed by fear and worry, we need to learn how to clean up the pollution we have caused, and how to deal with a world that feeds on weapons and mass destruction. Doing these things means having to move away from technology into a more difficult realm, that of diplomacy and promise: to move from the bully stance of “ I am bigger and better and I have more toys and so I win” to a place where everyone wins. 第五段： Technology is the thing that will allow people to do that. （指出支持观点存在的一点不足） But, advanced as it is, it is still in its infancy. （解决方案） We have to allow it to grow up and mature in order to reap the real rewards that it can bring. And there are even greater rewards。
