大家请看新年第一场考的话题,非常接地气, 问你越来越多的人买各式各样的家庭器具是件好事儿还是坏事儿。

More and more people buy a wide range of household goods like television, microwave oven and rice cooker. Do you think this is positive or negative development?

咋一看,不知道从何入手,大概是平时也不会去深究这样的生活日常,不过问个“为什们”的问题,思绪就能慢慢出来,家里明明有为什么要去再买一遍?当一方面是由于收入水平上来了,另一方也是因为科技进步,产品不断迭代,变得不断智能,高效,环保。这自然能让生活更加便捷,比如衣服洗完的同时饭也做完了,把人们从琐碎的家务中释放出来,但问题也有,更加智能可能会带来更加懒惰、更真实的体验感(液晶显示),这样通常带出的是健康问题;产品不断迭代,市面换一批产品家里就换一波家用器具,有些还没到使用寿命甚至有些新买没多久,造成浪费。

It is not unusual that an increasing number of people purchase various household appliances, ranging from kitchen items like microwave oven and refrigerator to television and air conditioner. In my opinion, it will exert a negative influence on both individuals and society.

 

Indeed, it is undeniable that household appliances nowadays are more convenient, more efficient and more environmental friendly. For example, a multifunctional microwave oven allows a person who is ignorant of cooking to handle different food materials and only a few minutes are required which matches the fast-past lifestyle of modern citizens, which liberates people from time-consuming housework and spares time to more valuable things. A smarter air conditioner or refrigerator also protects environment by consuming less energy.

 

However, this phenomenon gives rise to many heath risks. This is because we do not need to consume too much of our brain and make physical efforts when using them and appliances like liquid crystal displayed television with high-definition and access to the Internet attract people to sit in front of it all day and lead people to form a sedentary lifestyle which poses a threat to our heath. Therefore, people are more susceptible to obesity and high cholesterol.

 

Another disadvantage which is easily overlooked is that it causes huge waste. Due to fierce competition between suppliers and advanced technology, household appliances update at a surprising speed so that many old ones are replaced even though they can still well-functioned. The quick update and progress in household products will make people consume in an extravagant way and recycle less, thereby causing many useful domestic goods to end up in landfills.

 

In sum, it is better for us to make a serious decision on whether they are worth buying to avoid the adverse effect brought by new household appliance while employing them to create a more intelligent life.
