***2020考研每日一句來了，這是***老師第8年的堅持，從元宵節開始一直到考前，跟著***老師一起堅持學習起來，下面是湖北新文道考研小編為大家整理的***每日一句第277句!

今天的句子來自6月MIT Technology Review 的一篇文章(The Productivity Paradox)2004左右以來, 世界上大多數富裕國家的生產效率增長都十分慘淡。尤其令人煩惱的是經濟學家稱為全要素生產率的緩慢增長——這個指標反映創新和技術的貢獻。我們今天的技術可以說很發達了，但是為什么帶來的經濟增長卻沒有想象的那么大?經濟學家們將之稱為 “生產效率悖論”。有觀點認為，今天的技術并沒有我們想象的那么驕人。

今天的句子：

In a time of Facebook, smartphones, self-driving cars, and computers that can beat a person at just about any board game, how can the key economic measure of technological progress be so pathetic? Some argue that it’s because today’s technologies are not nearly as impressive as we think. Robert Gordon contends that compared with breakthroughs like indoor plumbing and the electric motor, today’s advances are small and of limited economic benefit.

思考題：

What can we learn from the passage?

(A) Time was when the technological advance brought more economic returns.

(B) Indoor plumbing and the electric motor brought the economic pressure.

(C) The key economic measure of technological progress is impressive

5. Time was when 曾經 (有同學說這個表達好像見過，你應該見過：2010年的翻譯真題：Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence.)
