因为互联网已经成为我们今天生活中不可缺少的一部分，许多人开始相信这是迄今为止人类最重要的发明。虽然互联网无疑是人类历史上最伟大的发明之一，但它可能不是最重要的发明。下面由新航道的沈阳雅思培训小编为您解答！
01、As the Internet has become an indispensable part of our life nowadays, many people begin to believe that it is the most important invention ever made by human beings. While the Internet is without doubt one of the greatest inventions in human history, it is perhaps not the single most important one.
因为互联网已经成为我们今天生活中不可缺少的一部分，许多人开始相信这是迄今为止人类最重要的发明。虽然互联网无疑是人类历史上最伟大的发明之一，但它可能不是最重要的发明。
解析
(1) 本段将背景与主题观点相结合，然后提出自己的想法。
(2) Indispensable 不可或缺的
(3) Without doubt 无疑地
(4) Single 的
02、The Internet is a great invention in that it makes our life more convenient and our work more efficient. Before the advent of the Internet, for instance, we had to travel a few miles to the post office in order to send a letter to our friends, who then had to wait a few days to receive the letter. But now the Internet enables us to exchange information with our friends in a blink of an eye. In work situations, the Internet is even more useful because it has rendered management, production, distribution, and selling highly efficient and thus has significantly boosted the productivity of the whole society.
互联网是一项伟大的发明，因为它使我们的生活更方便，我们的工作更有效率。例如，在互联网出现之前，我们必须去几英里的邮局给我们的朋友寄一封信，然后他们必须等几天才能收到。但现在互联网使我们能够在一眨眼之间与我们的朋友交换信息。在工作环境中，互联网更有用，因为它使管理、生产、分销和销售更有效，从而大大提高了整个社会的生产力。
解析
(1) 本段探讨了互联网的重要性：抓住两个关键词：convenient和efficient。
(2) In that... 由于...
(3) Advent 到来
(4) Exchange information 交换信息
(5) In a blink of an eye 眨眼间
(6) Render 促使...
(7) Boost the productivity 提高生产力
03、Yet we can hardly say that the Internet is THE most important invention in human history, if by “the most important invention” we mean one that is not only ground-breaking but also completely necessary for human beings to exist. Judged from this perspective, the Internet is perhaps not a suitable candidate for “the most important invention”, since, without the Internet, the human world would still be there just as it was in the pre-Internet age. So, instead of the Internet, I would label language as “the most important invention”, because it was the invention of language that ultimately distinguished humans from animals and made possible everything we have now in the human world.
然而，很难说互联网是人类历史上最重要的发明，如果“最重要的发明”不仅是开创性的，而且是人类生存所必需的发明。从这个角度来看，互联网可能不是“最重要的发明”的合适选择，因为没有互联网，人类世界仍然会像互联网之前的时代一样存在。因此，我愿意把“最重要的发明”的标签给语言，而不是互联网，因为正是语言的发明最终区分了人类和动物，使我们现在拥有的一切成为可能。
解析
(1) 这一段定义了什么是“最重要的发明”，然后指出了语言，而不是互联网，这是人类最重要的发明。
(2) Ground-breaking 开创性的
(3) Candidate 候选人；候选人
(4) The pre-Internet age 前网络时代
(5) Ultimately 最后
(6) Distinguish 区分
04、To conclude, the Internet is an invention as great as electricity, solar energy, and the atomic bomb, but if we have to choose “the most important invention” in human history, I would give my vote to that of language.
