雅思写作优质范文：技术是否会影响人际关系

It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people.
Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in my opinion there are both positive and negative effects.
的确，新技术对人与人之间的交流产生了影响。技术以各种方式影响着人际关系，在我看来，既有积极的影响，也有消极的影响。
 
Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and social life.  Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different countries to interact without ever meeting each other.  Secondly, services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers.  For example, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or country.  Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face to face.
技术已经对商业、教育和社会生活中的人际关系产生了影响。首先，电话和互联网使不同国家的商务人士不必见面就能互动。其次，像Skype这样的服务为学生和老师之间的关系创造了新的可能性。例如，学生现在可以和不同城市或国家的老师一起上视频课。最后，许多人使用社交网络，如Facebook，来结交新朋友，找到有共同兴趣的人，他们通过电脑而不是面对面交流。
 
On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive.  Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when communication was limited to written letters or telegrams.  Nowadays, interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts.  On the other hand, the availability of new communication technologies can also have the result of isolating people and discouraging real interaction.  For example, many young people choose to make friends online rather than mixing with their peers in the real world, and these ‘virtual’ relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.
一方面，这些发展可能是非常积极的。当交流仅限于书面信件或电报时，不同国家人民之间的合作要困难得多。如今，通过电子邮件、电话或视频进行的互动几乎与面对面的会议一样好，我们中的许多人都从这些互动中受益，无论是在工作中还是在社交场合。另一方面，新通信技术的可用性也可能导致人们孤立，阻碍真正的互动。例如，许多年轻人选择在网上交朋友，而不是在现实世界中与同龄人交往，这些“虚拟”关系是真正友谊的糟糕替代品。
 
In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionised communication between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been positive.
总之，技术确实彻底改变了人与人之间的交流，但并不是所有的结果都是积极的。
