填空题 Translate the following passage from Chinese into English. 我们生活在信息的海洋里。信息淹没了我们,向我们进攻并将我们击垮。它无处不在,无时不在。然而问题是:它对我们有什么影响?我们都知道信息革命的益处,但它有什么坏处?这种向我们狂轰滥炸的东西是否会影响我们的人性? 我们饱受信息的狂轰滥炸,但却不知有多少可以被接收。我们生活在一个忙碌不安的时代,连汽车也不耐烦。我们四处奔走,干什么都没时间。 然而,什么时候最深沉、最有意义、最触动灵魂呢?那通常是在信息量很低、环境非常幽静的地方。随着这地方逐渐从我们的生活中消失,我们是要付出代价的。 信息到处弥漫着,我们足不出户,甚至不用起床,便可知晓天下事。那么图书馆还有什么用处呢?图书馆是个储藏和传播智慧、交流思想、酝酿创造力的地方。但现在的情形是,许多人正被动地漫游在未加筛选的信息海洋中,逐渐失去判断好坏的能力。长此以往,我们将来能否还会拥有一个延续的文明不得而知。 这就提出了一个问题:知识和信息到底有什么区别?显然,知识是经过既能推理又可记忆的人脑加工和丰富了的信息,而信息只是稍加处理的数据。而人们根本的冲动是把其益处用于消费社会去赚钱。信息本身没有坏处,它是美好的东西。我们必须意识到要把信息转化为知识。如果不进行转化,信息则毫无价值。

【正确答案】 1、正确答案:We are living in the ocean of information, which drowns us, attacks us and beats us down. It exists at anytime and anywhere. But there are some questions: what is its influence on us? As we all know the benefits of the information revolution, but what is the harm? Whether these bombing things will influence our human nature? We are bombarded by so much information, being unaware of how much can be received. We are living in a busy and turbulent world, even the cars usually get annoyed. We run hither and thither and have no time to do anything. However, when is the most profound, the most significant and the most touching? That is usually in some place which has low amount of information and very quiet environment. We will pay for the price with those places gradually disappearing from our life. With information permeated everywhere, we can know everything in the world without going out or even getting up. And then what is the function of the library? The library is the place which stores and spreads wisdoms, to exchange ideas and brew the creation powers. But right now the situation is that many people are passively wandering in the information ocean without selection and gradually lose the ability of judging good from bad. If things go on like this, we do not know if we can have a continued civilization in the future. Here raises a question: what is difference between the knowledge and information? Obviously knowledge is the information which is processed and accumulated by the human brain which has the function of deduction and memory, while information is the data which is processed a little. And the basic impulse of the people lies in using the benefit to make money in the consumer society. The information itself is a kind of beautiful thing without any harm. We have to realize that we should transfer the information into knowledge. Or else, the information is useless.
