假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你在某网站的论坛上读到一位名为Chris的外国学生发的帖子，得知他去年，虽语言不通但借助翻译软件的帮助，到几个不同的国家旅游，基本顺利。他疑惑有了翻译软件，今后是不是就没有必要学习外语了。请根据以下提示给Chris留言：
（1）还有必要继续学习外语；
（2）翻译软件的缺点，如准确性及时性，适用场合等等；
（3）掌握外语的好处。
注意：（1）词数不少于100；
（2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯；
（3）开头已给出，不计入总词数。

Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter,I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher's lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn't hear what was being said around the room.In a vain effort to keep up with them,I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually,I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes.I began to pretend that I knew what was going on.Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed,I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.
Luckily then fate threw me light.
On one sunny afternoon,my teacher,Mrs.Jordan,asked the class a question.I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand.I couldn't believe it-despite my fears,I felt incredibly confident because-for once-I was sure I had the right answer.But,when she called on me,I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love.I didn't want to blow it.I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.
Her explosive response shocked all of us.She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor,pointing directly at me.With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried,“THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life,I felt like an instant star.My heart burst with pride.My confidence soared.It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome.From that day,my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.

The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which,when first offered,seemed laughable:We all,at some level,spend most of the time on reverie(幻想）。We dream either consciously or unconsciously,awake or asleep,of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life.Occasionally some childish ideas of happiness or success break out in to confuse or prevent us from living an adult life.Sometimes the dream is refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery,where all wants were met as soon as felt,where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned.As Emerson wrote,"We do not believe there is any force in today to match or recreate that beautiful yesterday.We linger in(徘徊）the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter."To some extent this is true of all of us,but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times,funnily enough,the life-wasting reverie is about success:The mild man is Napoleon or the ugly woman is a charming singer.If reality never broke in upon such reverie,the dreamer might be happier than if he were to find himself in a position to realize some part of it.Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine.But,the world being what it is,the dreamer must live,for part of his time at least,in the cold atmosphere of fact.This is no Land of Cockaigne:Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying,"Eat me!"Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths..
The deeply rooted dreamer will struggle only just as much as he needs,and no more.He will do anything half-heartedly to get his bread and butter.Then,when his daily task is over,he will be hack to his dreams again,whether he realizes it or not. He succeeds at only one thing:in clearing away a little space,gaining each day a few hours of free time,for just one purpose-to go on wasting his life.But his
dream is happy.It is,for him,a true compensation for his failure in every other relation,and so he continues in it.Yet,since after all happiness is the true goal,he believes that the smallest success in reverie brings with it more happiness.
However,it is important to remember that failure is real,for otherwise we will not prepare ourselves to fight it.
