Let us suppose1it is now 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Voyages1to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic2spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air- conditioned. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one window.

每天都有一次去月球的航行，如今在月球上度假就像人們?cè)?960年去歐洲度假一樣容易方便。在月球上的一些風(fēng)景名勝區(qū)，許多酒店已經(jīng)建成，并且酒店都有空調(diào)。為了讓每個(gè)人都能在月球上欣賞到美麗的風(fēng)景，每個(gè)房間至少有一個(gè)窗口。

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current1or as nuclear2power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to comemainly from green plants.

現(xiàn)在人們吃什么？人們?nèi)匀辉诔允澄铮麄冞€沒有開始直接把電流或核電作為能源供應(yīng)，有一天可能會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。但是現(xiàn)在很多食物都是以藥片的形式出現(xiàn)的，而做成藥丸的食物仍以綠色植物為主。

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. Deserts are irrigated1with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest2is always good.

因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在世界上的人口是一百多年前的很多倍，大部分行星的表面都要被填滿。沙漠用水灌溉，莊稼不再被害蟲破壞，總是有一個(gè)好的收成。

當(dāng)然，農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展非常迅速，很少人在農(nóng)場(chǎng)工作，因?yàn)橹灰粫r(shí)按幾下按鈕就可以運(yùn)行整個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)了。

People are now largely vegetarians1. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes of diseases and pain and cures for them, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

現(xiàn)在的人大都是素食主義者。你了解的，隨著人口數(shù)量的增加，動(dòng)物的數(shù)量減少了。因此，人們必須是素食主義者，才能在身體和思想上都更健康。我們了解引起疾病的原因和治療方法，就有可能擺脫疾病，沒有人會(huì)再生病了。

1. vegetarian n.素食者；食草動(dòng)物；adj.素食者的；素菜的

Such would be our life in 2060. What do you think of the life in 2060?
