外研版九年级下册英语课文及翻译

ed! I'm doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago?

Bettu's mum: And what do you think?

Betty: I think it's better. The most important difference is that people are healthier today,

and they live longer than they did in the past.

Betty's mum: That's true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today We're better at preventing illness.

But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.

.Betty：I suppose that's because public transport is much better today.

Betty's mum: Yes, I agree, People walk or use their bikes less. and they're lazier.

faster transport also makes more pollution.

and that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.

Betty：What about work? People don't have to work as hard as they worked 50 years ago.

Yes, but no one ever says they have too much free time!

I also think schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.

Betty: Yes. but I really want to do my best.

Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs?

She's seen how life has changed.

Betty: That's a good idea. Talking of free time, don't forget I'm going on the school trip next month . and the theatre visit.

" Good! You'll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams.

课文翻译：第3模块，偶而，第一单元，现在的人更健康。
贝蒂的妈妈：很晚了，贝蒂。
贝蒂：快完成了！我正在写作文呢，今天的生活比起五十年前是变好了还是变糟了？
贝蒂的妈妈：那你是怎么认为的？
贝蒂：我认为变好了，最重要的区别是今天的人们更加健康，并且比过去长寿。
贝蒂的妈妈：那是事实，优势是今天我们了解了更多的医疗知识，我们更擅长预防疾病了。但是食品不如以前健康，人们的运动量也不如原来大。
贝蒂：我认为那是今天的公共运输变好了的缘故。
贝蒂的妈妈：是的，我也有同感，人们更少步行或者骑自行车，他们变得比以前懒了。迅捷的交通也带来了更多的污染，那使得生活变得更危险、更不健康了。
贝蒂：那工作怎么样呢？人们不必像五十年前那样费力地工作了。是啊，但是从没有人说他们的空闲时间多！我也认为今天的学生比我们那时候幸苦。
贝蒂：是的，但是我真的想尽自己最大努力。
贝蒂的妈妈：你为什么不问问楼下的李太太呢？她目睹了生活的变化。
贝蒂：好主意，谈到空闲时间，别忘了下个月我将参加学校组织的旅游和去剧院参观。
贝蒂的妈妈：好，你将在考试前感觉更轻松，更无压力
