Section26 Electricity
If we try to think of the most important inventions, electricity will surely be on the list.如果让我们想一想什么是最重要的发明，电一定榜上有名。
For the last 100 years, it has played an important part in the development of the modern world.在过去的一百年里，它在现代社会的发展过程中扮演了十分重要的角色。
It affects everyonersquo;s life in one way or another.它以这样那样的方式影响着人们的生活。
It is probably present the moment we are born and it stays with us throughout our lives.现在，也许从出生开始，电就伴随我们一生。
When the electricity goes off, we call it a power cut.如果断电了，我们称之为ldquo;能量断了rdquo;。
Major power cuts in cities can have disastrous results for commerce and for life.城市里大规模的断电会给商业及日常生活带来灾难性的后果。
Try to think of all the things, organizations etc. that truly depend on electricity.想一想，那些完全依赖于电的机构等。
In fact, it is probably more difficult to think of those not dependent on it.事实上，要想到一些不依赖电的东西更难。
We also call electricity power, which shows how important it is.我们也把电称为能量，其重要性由此可见。
We could say that we take electricity for granted.可以说我们对电熟视无睹。
In the modern world, the making of electricity is a major concern.现代社会，发电是非常重要的一件事。
Its production can harm our environment.电的生产过程对环境有害。
Because of this, scientists and engineers are researching new ways of making it.因此，科学家和工程师们正探索新的发电途径。
Without it, our lives will change dramatically.没有了电，人们的生活会发生巨大变化。
And it is unlikely to be for the better.但不会变得更好。
