            Television
        Television is playing a very important part in our lives. But like other things, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
      In the first place, television is not only a convenient, but a cheap source of entertainment.
For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see shows of every kind, not to mention the latest political
discussions and exciting football match. Some people, however, think this is just where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He is completely passive and has everything without any effort on his part.
      Television informs us about current events, the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of instructive and entertaining programs. It could be argued that the radio can also perform this service; but on television everything is much more vivid. Yet again there is a danger. We get addicted to it, so dependent on its moving pictures that it begins to dominate our lives.
     There are many other arguments. The poor quality of programs is often criticized. But it is a great comfort to many lonely people indeed. I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.

電視
    電視在我們的生活中發(fā)揮著十分重要的作用。但是同其他事物一樣，它也有利有弊。
    首先，電視是一種既方便又便宜的娛樂資源。例如，對于一個四口之家來說，舒舒服服地坐在家里看各種各樣的娛樂節(jié)目，比起出門去別的地方尋找快樂，既方便，也便宜的多。他們要做的就是按一下按鈕，之后就能欣賞到各種各樣的節(jié)目，更不用說最新的政治討論和激動人心的足球賽事了。但是，有些人認(rèn)為這正是危險所在。看電視的人沒有主動性，他完全被動，他這一方無需任何努力就能獲得一切。
    電視告訴我們現(xiàn)在發(fā)生的事件，科學(xué)政治領(lǐng)域的最新發(fā)展并提供無窮無盡的教育、娛樂節(jié)目。有人提出，收音機也同樣具有這些功能，但是，在電視上，一切顯得更生動。不過，這同樣是危險的。一旦我們沉溺于電視節(jié)目，醉心于這些動態(tài)的畫面，它也就開始逐步控制我們的生活了。
    還有很多其他的爭論。節(jié)目質(zhì)量不高也常常受到批評。但是，電視對于很多寂寞的人來說，的確是一個很大的安慰。我想，我們必須意識到，電視本身并沒有對錯。是它的用途決定了它的社會價值。
