未来生活

By Tony Smith

托尼史密斯

What will life be likein the future? How will things change? Here are some ideas．Which ones will come true?

未来的生活将会怎样？将会发生怎样的变化呢？这里有些想法。哪些将会成为现实?

A

In the future，a change of weather won't mean a change of clothes. We'll wear a new kind of clothes．They'll be warm when we're cold，and cool when we're hot. 

在未来，天气的变化并不意味着衣服要更换。我们将会穿一种新型的衣服。当我们觉得冷的时候它们将会变得暖和，当我们觉得热的时候它们将会变得很凉爽。

B

There'll be no more light rain and cold wind in spring．The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year，with heavy rain and wind. The sea level will rise as well.

在春天，将不会再有细雨和寒风。一整年天气将会相当暖和甚至会很热，并伴随着暴雨和狂风。海平面也将会上升。

C

We won't travel by bus or bike any more．Every family will have a small plane．No more expensive cars it'll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane. not only over land,  but also over the sea or even into space .Maybe there'll be traffic jams in the air.

我们将不再乘公共汽车或骑自行车旅行。每个家庭将会有一架小型飞机。不再有昂贵的汽车——乘飞机到处旅行旅行将会很便宜，不仅是在陆地上空飞行，而且还可以飞到海上甚至进入太空。也许空中将会出现交通堵塞。

D

Do you like long holidays? Well, you're going to like the future because machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs，and we’ll only do light and easy work．working hours will be short so people will have long holidays.

你喜欢长假吗？那么，你将会喜欢未来的，因为机器和机器人将会做所有繁重而艰苦的工作，我们只做轻松而容易的工作。工作时间将会很短，所以人们将会有很长的假期。
