中间段：翻译APP的利弊
尾段：我的建议
The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.
On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.
I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.
翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流行。为什么呢?不得不承认，在当今社会，在翻译APP的辅助下，越来越多人发现阅读外语文献或文章变得高效又方便。
一方面，这些APP能带给使用者更高的效率并帮助他们节约时间和精力，尤其是对于根本不懂一门外语的人而言。例如，很多人在学英语方面有各种困难或麻烦，但有了这些APP，他们读懂或理解英语资料将不是难事。另一方面，正是这些APP导致一些学习者失去了学习的动机。有了Apps，他们不愿尽全力每天背生词、练听和说的技能。最终，他们将无法掌握任何一门外语。
作为一名大学生，我认为年轻人很有必要以理性态度实用翻译Apps。我们应该牢记在心的是任何翻译APP也只是工具。假设一个人想要掌握一门外语，明智地做法是每天训练，而不是依赖翻译App。
