The truth of the matter, however, is that any new technology, including computers, has a "dark" side. Computer crimes, which are difficult to detect, cause a lot of trouble to business and industry. Unexpected computer viruses may destroy a large quantity of useful information. Furthermore, the indulgence of children in computer games is very bad for their mental and physical healthy development. We should therefore, be careful in using computers.

然而，事情的真相是任何新的技术，包括电脑，都有“黑暗”的一面。电脑犯罪行为很难发现，却可以对商业和工业造成很大的麻烦。意想不到的电脑病毒可能毁坏大量有用的信息。此外，孩子们对电脑游戏的沉迷对他们的身心健康是有害的。因此，我们应该小心使用电脑。
