参考译文：

未来的城市

未来的社会将会是什么样子的呢？没有人确切的了解，进行预测是一件很冒险的事。但有一件事是可以肯定的——它们变小之前将会变的更大。将来，爱护环境将会很重要因为地球的资源濒临枯竭。我们将会使用大量的可回收材料，例如塑料，铝，钢铁，玻璃，木头和纸。我们浪费自然资源的程度将会有所减弱。我们也将不得不更多地依赖其他能源。例如，太阳能和风能。所有的这些似乎是肯定的，但是还有许多关于城市生活的事情仍是未知的。

为了获知年轻人对未来城市生活的想法，一位在美国得克萨斯州的大学老师让他的学生思考如何在2025年管理一个拥有50000人口的城市，下面是他们的一些构想：

垃圾船：为了摆脱垃圾问题的困扰，城市将利用巨型宇宙飞船装载废弃材料并把它们送到太阳上去，这样可以防止垃圾填埋和环境问题。

勤务兵网：警察逮捕罪犯时，将会向罪犯射出网状物而不是用枪。

戒烟：未来城市范围内将禁止吸烟。吸烟也许只在郊区和户外是许可的。

告别商店街：将来所有的购物将在网上进行，商品目录上带有语音指示用来定货。

电话人生：每个人一出生就会得到一个电话号码，将来无论他们居住再哪儿这个电话号码都不会更改。

娱乐：所有的娱乐形式，例如电影院，保龄球，垒球，音乐会等都将由该市政府免费提供。

汽车：所有的汽车都将由电，太阳能或风能提供电力，并且只要轻轻按一下开关就能改变汽车的颜色。

远程手术：随着每个城市拥有自己的远程手术门诊部，医生将能在数千里以外实施手术，远程手术将会变的十分普通。

居家度假：老年市民和残疾人可以通过头上的高技术相机周游世界。

太空遨游：普通市民遨游太空将会变的很平常，每个城市都将有自己的太空港。
