今天的句子：

科技话题就是永恒话题。2015年的大作文“手机时代的聚会”就反思了技术的不良影响。技术给人类打开了前所未有的新局面，但凡事皆有两面性，技术也在一定程度上令人际关系更加冷漠。

Widespread use of smart phone and social media has changed in no small measure our way of communication, of shopping and of learning.

智能手机和社交媒体的广泛应用大大改变了沟通、购物和学习的方式。

We used to be vocal about the benefits that new technologies brought : they will lead to unprecedented job growth, support the economy and improve the quality of our lives.

我们曾经对新科技的优点不吝赞美：他们可带来前所未有的就业增长，支持经济并提升我们的生活质量。

But it’s hard to ignore the growing public apathy in chatting with our friends in person.

但我们很难忽视越来越严重的公众冷漠。不愿意与朋友面对面交谈。

Regardless of the enormous amount of photos shared on Wechat or Face book, modern city dwellers grow detached from their immediate surroundings and fail to realize that codes and digits can never provide the human touch that we yearn for.

虽然微信和脸书上分享了海量的照片，但现代的都市居民离周围的现实越来越疏离，没有意识到代码和字节永远无法提供我们内心渴望的人情味。

词汇突破：

1.widespread广泛的

2.unprecedented前所未有的

3.apathy冷漠

4.detach分离;分开

5.vocal 发声，表达 (传说中的打call)

再送大家一些实用的表达：(这就是诚意!)

1. vocal about the merits of sth./vocal about the benefits that sth. brings

当你想客观描述一下大众或某个群体对某种事物的积极评价时，可用此述。比如：

Psychologists have long been vocal about the merits of the optimistic attitude.

2. sb. paint sth. as playing a leading role ...

表扬的同时需作出若干评价，则可以用这个表达。比如：

Many experts paint reading as playing a leading role in achieving great personal success.

3. but it’s hard to ignore/turn a blind eye to…

当说完一个事件的正面，要说反面时，可以用这个表达来转折。比如：

But it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the growing problems of school-weariness among students, who are fed up with test-oriented learning and drop out as soon as they have the chance.

4. Regardless of…

表示“且不论，虽然”这个让步关系时，大家也可以试着用这个短语，会显得行文更地道一些。比如：

Regardless of the great wealth amassed by elites, the hundreds of millions of people living in the countryside still struggle to get formal education for their children.

(可以想象，点睛班的时候我能写出什么样的句子。我一直在努力你有什么理由懈怠!)

明天的句子：

Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the "odd balls" among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who work well with the team.
