专四范文：
One Major Advantage of Electronic Dictionaries
电子词典的一个主要优势
Electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among students nowadays. As a result, they may eventually render printed dictionaries obsolete! Undeniably electronic dictionaries contain a number of merits in comparison to their printed counterparts and therefore, I would like to suggest one major advantage of electronic dictionaries.
电子词典现在越来越受学生的欢迎。结果,他们最终可能会使纸质词典过时了!不可否认的是，电子词典包含许多优点，与它们的纸质版本相比。因此,我想提出电子词典一个重要的优点。
Perhaps the most pronounced advantage of electronic dictionaries is that all of them are portable and consequently easy to carry around, whether in a pocket or a bag. Students can put the dictionary in their pocket and look up new words whenever and wherever they are. This is a huge advantage over the traditional large paper bound dictionary because size really does matter. This compactness means not only that electronic dictionaries are getting smaller and lighter as well as incorporating a bigger memory but also that dictionaries can be installed into other small portable devices such as mobile phones. Although smaller in some people's view means less availability of memory and other functions, with the increasing advances made in nanotechnology this is no longer the cases.
也许电子词典最明显的优点是他们都是可便携的,因此容易随身携带,可以放在口袋或包里。学生可以把字典放在他们的口袋里,任何时候、任何地点都能用字典查找生词,这是一个很大的优势，因为传统的纸质字典尺寸很大。这种简洁性不只是说电子词典尺寸越来越小，重量越来越轻，而且容量越来越大，还可以安装到其他小型的便携式设备上，如移动电话。虽然"更小"在一些人的观念中意味着，可用内存和其他功能更少。在纳米技术日益进步的当今时代，情况不再是这样的了。
In the final analysis, electronic dictionaries are the by-product of the inexorable progress of computerization, miniaturization and nanotechnology which has meant that one of their biggest advantages is their small size while still enjoying all the benefits of earlier, larger models.
在最后的分析中,电子词典是电子计算机化,小型化和纳米技术发展的副产品。这意味着电子词典的最大优势是尺寸小，而且还能具有大尺寸版本的所有好处。
