Some people say that computer can translate languages, so children need
not study foreign languages any more. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with the statement?
With the rapid development of computer science, computer can translate all
kinds of languages. Therefore, some people say that children need not study
foreign languages any more. From my point of view, I think computer will
never take the place of human beings.
Firstly, language is closely related to a country's culture. Through language
study, students will learn about the culture of a country. For example, if you
study English, you learn a lot of things about English literature, English
poetry, English festivals, and English customs. I am English major. I like
English romantic poems very much. The beautiful verses by Shelley, Burns,
and other famous English poets are still very popular in modern literature.
We also enjoy some English festivals like Halloween, April Fools Day, and
Christmas, when people celebrate in clubs and restaurants and have a lot of
fun.
Secondly, computer is only a machine, whose programs are designed and
written by human beings. Without an intimate knowledge of foreign
languages and translation, we cannot write an efficient translation programs
for computers, which will be a cold machine and becomes useless.
Thirdly, language study can cultivate a child's intelligence. Language is a
unique ability of our human beings. Language study can improve children's
audio ability. They can distinguish the subtle differences of pronunciation
and rhythm.
However, we don't deny the advantages that computer has brought us. We
have to read some foreign articles and materials in our study and work.
Some translation software can give us an immediate explanation of some
difficult words, which saves us a lot of valuable time.
To sum up, computer will never take the place of human beings as a
translator or an interpreter because its ability is decided by human beings.
