| “Social media isolates people more than it connects them.” | “社交媒體使人更加孤立，而不是讓人更加聯結。” |
| While social media was initially designed to connect people, to some extent, it has indeed made many feel isolated. Firstly, the time people spend on social media reduces face-to-face interaction, which is foundational to building deep interpersonal relationships. Secondly, the highlights of people’s lives often showcased on social media can make some users feel that their lives are inferior to others, leading to feelings of isolation. However, social media also certainly keeps many distant friends and families connected. In conclusion, while I believe there are both pros and cons to social media, it does indeed exacerbate feelings of isolation in certain situations. | 雖然社交媒體初衷是為了讓人們更加聯結，但在某種程度上，它確實使許多人感到孤立。 首先，人們在社交媒體上花費的時間減少了面對面的互動，這種真實的互動是建立深層人際關係的基礎。 其次，社交媒體上經常展示的是人們生活中的精彩時刻，這可能使某些用戶感到他們的生活不如其他人，從而感到孤立。 然而，社交媒體也確實使許多遠方的朋友和家人保持聯絡。總的來說，我認為社交媒體既有利也有弊，但它確實在某些情況下增加了人們的孤立感。 |
| “The rise of remote work will render the traditional office setup obsolete.” | “遠程工作的興起將使傳統的辦公室模式變得過時。” |
| Indeed, remote work has brought flexibility for many workers, but the traditional office setup is unlikely to disappear completely. Remote work allows employees to operate from home, cutting down on commute time and costs. However, offices provide a collaborative environment that’s crucial for many businesses. Face-to-face interactions can bolster bonds between teams and foster innovation. Thus, the future of work may be a blend of remote work and office collaboration. | 遠程工作的確為許多工人帶來了靈活性，但傳統的辦公室模式不太可能完全消失。 遠程工作允許員工在家工作，減少了通勤時間和成本。然而，辦公室提供了一個合作的環境，這對於許多業務至關重要。 面對面的交流可以加強團隊之間的聯結，並促進創新。因此，未來的工作模式可能是遠程工作和辦公室工作的結合。 |
| “Education should emphasize practice more than theory.” | “教育應該更多地強調實踐而不是理論。” |
| I believe that education should strike a balance between theory and practice. Theory provides students with a foundational understanding, while practice allows them to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios. Whether it’s in engineering, arts, or social sciences, solely having theory or practice isn’t enough to ensure the holistic development of students. | 我認為教育應該平衡理論和實踐。 理論為學生提供了知識的基礎，而實踐則讓他們將這些知識應用於真實世界的情境中。 無論是在工程學、藝術還是社會科學中，僅僅擁有理論或實踐都不足以確保學生的全面發展。 |
| “Success relies more on persistence than on talent.” | “成功更多地依賴於持久性，而不是天賦。” |
| While talent is indeed significant for achieving exceptional feats in certain areas, persistence is often the key to long-term success. Many successful individuals have encountered failures throughout their careers, but their persistence enabled them to overcome these challenges and continue pursuing their goals. Therefore, I believe persistence is more critical than talent. | 雖然天賦對於在某些領域取得突出成就確實很重要，但持久性往往是長期成功的關鍵。 許多成功的人在他們的職業生涯中都遇到了失敗，但他們的堅持使他們能夠克服這些挑戰，並繼續追求他們的目標。 因此，我認為堅持比天賦更加重要。 |
| “The burden of environmental protection should be borne by governments, not corporations.” | “環境保護的負擔應該由政府而不是企業來承擔。” |
| Environmental protection requires collective efforts from governments, corporations, and the public. Governments can enact policies and regulations, but corporations, which produce pollution in their daily operations, should also shoulder the responsibility for environmental protection. Consumers can also play a part by supporting eco-friendly companies. Thus, I believe the responsibility for environmental protection should be shared among all stakeholders. | 環境保護需要政府、企業和公眾的共同努力。 政府可以制定政策和法規，但那些在日常運營中產生污染的企業也應該承擔環境保護的責任。 消費者也可以通過支持環保公司來發揮作用。因此，我認為環境保護的責任應該由所有利益相關者共同承擔。 |
