第四句:it has made possible, for better or worse, the modern city.不論好或壞,它都讓現代城市成為可能--->A)錯
What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence存在?
A few effects suggest themselves at once立刻. It has saved lives保護生命 by getting rapid快 word of illness疾病, injury, or famine饑荒 from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multistory多層 residence住所 or office building, it has made possible, for better or worse, the modern city.
By bringing about a quantum leap飛躍、重大進展 in the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological change and growth in industry.
Beyond doubt毫不懷疑, it has crippled殘廢者 if not killed the ancient art古代藝術 of letter writing寫信. It has made living alone possible for persons with normal social impulses欲望、衝動; by so doing如此, it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes in family structures. It has made the waging of war发动战争 chillingly令人恐懼 more efficient than formerly以前.
Perhaps (though not provably) it has prevented阻止 wars that might have arisen out of引起、起因于international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps, again not provably证明, by magnifying放大 and extending廣大 irrational不理智的 personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused wars.
Certainly it has extended the scope範圍 of human conflicts, since it impartially公正 disseminates傳播 the useful knowledge of scientists and the babble說話、談話 of bores厭煩, the affection of the affectionate and the malice害人之心 of the malicious惡意.
