英语翻译第一篇Today our lives are changing faster than at any time

英语翻译
第一篇
Today our lives are changing faster than at any time in history.Here we report on two important changes that will have a big effect on our everyday lives in the future.
Interactive telephones
Human telephone operators will be replaced by talking computers.These computers will recognize speech,ask us what information we need,find the information from a database,and change it to speech.If we want to book a flight to or pay a bill by phone,we will interact with a talking computer to do so.Of course,this won’t happen until all the technology is in place,but when it is,we will soon get used to interacting with computers in this way.Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operation such as dealing with complaints or solving concrete problems.
Intelligent cars
Traffic congestion in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest way to their destination and avoid traffic jams Congestion will also decrease when electronic systems start changing motorists for driving in cities.As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities,they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead.Speed control systems will be built into cars.It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do,there will be a big improvement in road safety.

Reading can provide lots of fun for children and teens during summer vacation.Children who read during the summer are better prepared for school when they return to classes in the fall.Public libraries throughout Wisconsin will host summer events to encourage children and young adults to include reading in their summer fun.
All Star Readers
The Milwaukee Public Library will host its 2006 Summer Reading Club for kids from 3 tu 18.Signing up starts on June 1at all Milwaukee public libraries and bookmobile sites.
Children aged 6 to 12 are invited to become “All Star Readers” at the Milwaukee library when they sign up for the Summer Reading Club.Children can score a point by reading 10 books or 1,000 pages.When they reach the reading goal,they will win a bag full of prizes.
Sparkey Spots the Ball
Children up to 5 years old can join the read-to-me club,“Sparkey Spots the Ball”.They will receive their own reading folders to record the books read to them by parents,brothers and sisters or relatives.Once they have listened to 20 books they win a baseball and a coupon for McDonald’s ice cream.
X-Treme Read
Teens between the ages of 13 and 18 can join in their own reading program called “X-Treme Read”.Teens can read to win movie passes,CDs,and more.
The library also plans extreme bike races by C4 BMX at four libraries in June and July.Check with your local library or Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for the exact dates,times,and locations of the demonstrations.

当今,我们的生活变化得比在过去的任何时间里都快.以下就是两个将会对我们未来的日常生活产生重要影响的变化.
交互式电话
人类通电话将会被通话电脑取代.这些电脑将能辨认演讲,询问我们需要什么资讯,从一个数据库中找到信息,并把它变为演讲.如果我们想要预定一张机票或者通过电话付费,我们将能和一台通话电脑沟通使它为我们办到此事.当然,如果技术没有跟上,那这一切就不会发生.但如果相反,我们将会迅速习惯于这样使用电脑沟通.而传统的通电话将会被仅仅用于更为复杂的沟通状况中,诸如处理投诉或者解决麻烦事时.
智能汽车
因为司机们会使用电子路线地图来寻找通向各自目的地的最快路径,并避开交通堵塞,所以城市中交通拥堵的情况将会被减轻.拥堵的情况也会因为电子系统开始通过城市中的驾驶改变乘车人.一旦乘车人为了在城市里开车而不得不付费时,他们也会停止使用自己的汽车,而改用公共交通.限速系统将会被装上汽车.当这些改变产生作用时也许是多年以后了,但一旦它们发挥起了作用,将会对交通安全产生重大推动作用.
阅读可以在暑假里给少年儿童带来很多乐趣.在暑假里阅读的孩子更好地为自己秋季回到学校做好了准备.遍布威斯康辛州的公共图书馆将会举办夏季活动,以鼓励孩子们和年轻人把阅读加入他们夏天的娱乐活动中去.
全星读者
密而华基公立图书馆将针对3至18岁的孩子开办2006夏季阅读俱乐部.报名活动从6月1日起在密而华基的所有公立图书馆和流动图书站点开始.
6岁到12岁,并报名加入读者俱乐部的孩子将被邀请成为密而华基图书馆的“全星读者”.孩子可以在读完10本书或者1000页书之后得到一分.当他们达到了阅读目标,他们就能赢回一个装买奖品的书包.
闪光现货球（这个翻译得我自己也觉得很诡异.）
5岁以下儿童可以参加“念给我听”俱乐部,“闪光球”.他们会得到属于自己的阅读目录来记录他们父母兄妹或者亲戚为他们念的书.一旦他们听完20本书,他们就能赢回一个篮球和一张麦当劳冰激凌的折价券.
13至18岁的少年可以参加属于他们的,名为“x-极阅读”的阅读活动.他们可以通过阅读获得电影入场券、cd还有其他.
这个图书馆还计划在六月和七月举办赛程是环绕四个图书馆的极限单车竞赛.完全不明白C4 BMX,环绕一词的意思也是我猜的）去你当地所在的图书馆或者翻阅“ Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ”（应该是当地一份报纸或者杂志）来确定实际参赛的准确的日期、时间和地点.
