每个人都会在家学习， Everyone will study at home,

学生们将使用计算机并在互联网上获取信息， Students will use computers and get information on the Internet,

每个家庭都会有一架小型飞机，Every family will have a small plane,

未来的生活会是什么样子？情况将如何改变？以下是一些想法，What will life be like in the future? How will things change? Here are some ideas,

哪些会成为现实？ Which ones will come true?

在未来，天气的改变并不意味着衣服的改变，In the future, a change of weather won't mean a change of clothes,

我们会穿一种新衣服， We'll wear a new kind of clothes,

当我们冷的时候，它们会温暖，当我们热的时候，它们会凉爽， They'll be warm when we're cold, and cool when we're hot,

春天不会再有小雨和冷风了， There'll be no more light rain and cold wind in spring,

全年天气将相当温暖甚至炎热，有大雨和大风， The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year, with heavy rain and wind,

海平面也会上升， The sea level will rise as well,

我们不再乘公共汽车或自行车旅行了，We won't travel by bus or bike any more,

每个家庭都会有一架小型飞机， Every family will have a small plane,

没有了更昂贵的汽车，坐飞机到处旅行会更便宜，不仅是在陆地上，而且在海上，甚至进入太空， No more expensive cars,  it'll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land, but also over the sea or even into space,

也许会有空中交通堵塞， Maybe there'll be traffic jams in the air,

你喜欢长假吗？你会喜欢未来的，因为机器和机器人会做所有繁重而困难的工作，而我们只会做轻松的工作，Do you like long holidays? Well, you're going to like the future because machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs, and we'll only do light and easy work,

工作时间会很短，所以人们会有很长的假期， Working hours will be short, so people will have long holidays,
