Alongwith the development of science and electronic technology, electronic dictionaryhas been a popular and useful tool in our lives. Therefore, some people suspectthat electronic dictionaries will kill the traditional ones in the future.However, in my opinion, it will not happen.

隨著科學技術、電子技術的發展，電子詞典在我們生活中已經成為一個流行，有用的工具。因此，有些人認為電子詞典在將來會代替傳統的的詞典。然而，在我看來，這是不會發生的。

Thereare a few reasons accounting for my view. First, traditional dictionaries arecheaper than electronic ones. For most people who use dictionaries most often,especially students, it is too expensive to buy and use electronic ones.Second, traditional dictionaries have another value that cannot be replaced—itcan be collected into our bookshelves or libraries, but electronic ones will notbe collected as it’s too expensive and wasteful. Third, keeping traditionaldictionaries has been a habit for many scholars and teachers, so they will notbe easy to get rid of it.

有幾個理由來支持我的觀點。首先，傳統的字典比電子詞典更便宜。大多數人最常用的是字典，特別是學生，對于他們來說購買和使用的電子詞典太貴了。第二，傳統的詞典有另外一個無法替代的價值——它可以收藏在我們的書架上或圖書館上，但電子詞典不會被收集因為它太昂貴而且太浪費了。第三，使用傳統的詞典是許多學者和教師一直以來的習慣，所以他們都不容易丟棄它。

Althoughelectronic dictionaries have played an important role in our study and work andwe often use it, I am still convinced that traditional dictionaries have itsown unique value that cannot be replaced. Therefore, it is quite impossiblethat traditional dictionaries will be killed by electronic ones.

雖然電子詞典在我們的學習和工作中扮演著很重要的角色，而且我們也經常使用它，但我仍然相信傳統的詞典有其獨特而無法替代的價值。因此，傳統字典是不可能被電子字典代替的。
