The effect that e-mail has on our professional and personal life is mind-boggling. People thousands of miles away from each other can send and receive detailed documents within mere seconds. This allows us to take on a multitude of projects, to pool our collective efforts in a way that wouldn’t have been possible before. It has become routine for us to correspond and exchange files with people overseas. The only obstacle is the difference in time zones.

But on the other hand,e-mail can eat up a substantial portion of our workday.sometimes,most of the time and effort involved is going through unsolicited messages and deleting junk.However,many of the unwanted messages I receive are actually worth reading,so it would be reckledd to wipe them all out without further investigation.After all,many of the messages I receive come from coworkers and superirs.In my opinion,e-mail help flatten hierarchies in an office setting. It is far easier to make suggestions to our bosses via e-mail than it is to do so in a face-to-face talk.But the downside of it is that e-mail,if misinterpreted,may result in some hurt feelings,and offenses.

E-mail can be a blessing or a curse. Used properly,e-mail offer great ed poorly,it can cause enormous trouble.

电子邮件对我们职业生涯和个人生活的影响非同一般。相隔千里的人们可以在短短的几秒钟之内发送并接受详尽的文件资料。这使人们能够以一种前所未有的方式齐心协力，共同承担大量的工程项目。通过电子邮件与国外的人通信、交换文件已成为司空见惯的事情。卫衣的障碍是时区的不同。

但是，另一方面，阅读电子邮件也会吞噬我们相当多的工作时间。有时，我所收到的许多未经索要的邮件都还值得一读，不分青红皂白地将他们全部删除显得有些鲁莽。毕竟，我收到的许多邮件都来自我的同时和上级。在我看来，店子邮件有助于缓和办公室里的等级观念。通过电子邮件向老板提些建议比面对面的交谈容易的多。但是不利之处在于，如果电子邮件被曲解会导致伤害以及对别人的冒犯。

电子邮件是福也是祸。用得好，它可以带来许多益处，用得不好，它也会招致许多麻烦。

This essay embodies the author’s positive attitude toward globalization, but it also conveys his worries about the challenges brought about by globalization. Globalization enhanced economic growth at an international level, sustaining the expansion in rich countries and reducing poverty in the rest of the world. Since national economies have become increasingly interdependent. Cooperation becomes crucial in the pursuit of progress and security. Nevertheless, the problem is that the value of international cooperation seems to have been forgotten lately. History teaches us that bypassing international laws, agreement and institutions meas incurring the reversal of globalization.

本文体现了作者对全球化肯定的态度，但也表达了作者对全球化所带来的挑战的焦虑。全球化在国际范围内促进了经济增长，使富有的国家持续发展，在其他地方减少贫困。因为国家经济相互依赖的程度越来越高，在各国寻求进步与安全的过程中，合作就变得至关重要。然而，问题是近来人们似乎已忘记了国际合作的价值。我们从历史的教训中知道，忽略国际法则、协议以及惯例就意味着全球化的大逆转。
