E-Books Can Not Replace Traditional Books 电子书不能取代传统书籍
Withthe development scientific technology and the improvement of people’s lifestandard, a growing number of e-books have been available for the readers.Therefore, some people hold the idea that e-books will replace traditionalbooks in the future, because the former is more advantageous than the latter,such as more convenient and less expensive.
随着科技的发展和人们生活水平的提高,读者可以看到越来越多的电子书。因此,有些人认为电子书在未来会取代传统书籍,因为前者比后者更有优势,如更方便和更便宜。
However,as far as I am concerned, e-books will not and cannot replace traditionalbooks. First, compared with traditional books, we cannot get the same pleasurefrom reading e-books in that e-books are easier to make our eyes to be tiredand dry when reading. Second, with concern about copyright, there are manybooks are not available in digital form, especially classics. In other words,the resource of e-books is quite limited and cannot satisfy the readers. Third,there is a function of traditional books that e-books do not have—as a gift anda collection. I suppose that those who love reading would be willing to keep aprinted form even though he has read the electronic form of it.
然而,我认为电子书不会、也不能取代传统书籍。首先,与传统书籍相比,从电子书中我们不能获得同样的乐趣,因为电子书阅读的时候更容易使我们的眼睛累,干燥。第二,因为版权问题,有许多书是没有电子形式,尤其是一些经典著作。换句话说,电子书的资源是非常有限,无法满足读者。第三,传统书籍有一个电子书没有的功能——作为礼物或拿来收集。我想那些爱阅读的人会愿意保存着纸质版的书,尽管他已经阅读过电子版的了。
Ina word, traditional books will continue to be the most important form in ourreading.
总之,在阅读方面,传统书籍会一直成为最重要的形式。
