手提電腦對(duì)大學(xué)生是必需品嗎？Laptop—A Necessity for College Students?

　　In recent years, a growing number of students at colleges are using laptops. Still more students are asking their parents for one. However, is it a necessity for their study? I don’t think so.

　　近幾年，越來(lái)越多的在校大學(xué)生使用手提電腦。仍舊有更多的學(xué)生問父母要一臺(tái)。然而，這是學(xué)習(xí)的必需品嗎？我不這么認(rèn)為。

　　On the one hand, it is safe to say that a laptop is of great help to some students’ study. This is especially true as far as the hard working students are concerned. With the enrollment ever growing at colleges, the school resources available to the students are quite limited. In this case, having a laptop is no doubt convenient for their study. With a laptop, they can get access to the Internet, searching for academic information, learning foreign languages and working on their graduate papers. As for these students, they can equally do well in their study without a laptop. On the other hand, there are a lot of students whose laptops are used in quite a different way. Some use it to play computer games and watch movies on the Internet, and still others even use it to gamble. Instead of helping them with their study, the laptops are a waste of money and time. To these students, a laptop is a luxury. It spoils them rather than benefits them.

　　一方面，手提電腦對(duì)有些學(xué)生的.學(xué)習(xí)是有很大幫助的。這對(duì)努力學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)是尤其正確的。隨著大學(xué)錄取數(shù)量的增加，學(xué)生可用的學(xué)校資源是十分有限的。在這種情況下，擁有一臺(tái)掌上電腦對(duì)他們的學(xué)習(xí)無(wú)疑是方便的。有了手提電腦，他們可以接觸互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，搜索學(xué)術(shù)信息，學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)和寫畢業(yè)論文。對(duì)這些學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，他們沒有手提電腦也可以學(xué)得很好。另一方面，有很多學(xué)生的手提電腦用在不同的方面。有的用它來(lái)玩游戲和看電影，有的甚至用它來(lái)賭博。這樣不但沒有幫助他們的學(xué)習(xí)，反而浪費(fèi)了時(shí)間和金錢。對(duì)這些學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，手提電腦是一種奢侈。它給他們帶來(lái)壞處而不是好處。

　　In conclusion, we can say that for some students, a laptop is of some help to their study rather than a necessity, while for others it is absolutely unnecessary.

　　總之，我們可以這么說(shuō)，對(duì)有些學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，與其說(shuō)手提電腦是必需品不如說(shuō)是他們的學(xué)習(xí)的助手，而對(duì)其他人來(lái)說(shuō)是絕對(duì)不必要的。
