然而，线上教学不能完全代替线下教育。不少师生反映，学生在家上课，缺乏学习氛围，容易出现注意力不集中、反应速度下降等问题，而缺少面对面的互动也是网课的一大弊端。

也不能说是弊端，只能说，确实有了更多的挑战。人民币成为国际储备货币之后，需要承担国际资本流动的责任，承担责任就意味着承担风险。贬值升值都只是一时的波动。
yě bùnéng shuō shì bìduān ，zhǐnéng shuō ，quèshí yǒu le gèngduō de tiǎozhàn 。rénmínbì chéngwéi guójì chǔbèi huòbì zhīhòu ，xūyào chéngdān guójì zīběn liúdòng de zérèn ，chéngdān zérèn jiù yìwèi zhe chéngdān fēngxiǎn 。biǎnzhí shēngzhí dōu zhī shì yīshí de bōdòng 。
I wouldn't say disadvantages, but there may be some challenges. After the renminbi becomes an international reserve currency, it will need to take responsibility for international capital flow. Taking responsibility means taking on risks. Depreciation and growth in value are just brief fluctuations.

这么说，难道完全没有弊端吗？人民币会因此贬值吗？
zhèmeshuō ，nándào wánquán méiyǒu bìduān ma ？rénmínbì huì yīncǐ biǎnzhí ma ？
Speaking of that, there must be some disadvantages, no? Will the renminbi be devalued as a result?

今天我们开会呢，主要是说说教材的问题。我知道传统教材有一些弊端。但我们自己编教材的话也一下子编不好。你们看有什么办法可以让学生喜欢上课呢？
jīntiān wǒmen kāihuì ne ，zhǔyào shì shuō shuo jiàocái de wèntí 。wǒ zhīdào chuántǒng jiàocái yǒu yīxiē bìduān 。dàn wǒmén zìjǐ biān jiàocái dehuà yě yīxiàzi biān bù hǎo 。nǐmen kàn yǒu shénme bànfǎ kěyǐ ràng xuésheng xǐhuan shàngkè ne ？
For the meeting today, our focus will be the problems with our teaching materials. I know that traditional teaching materials have their faults, but if we write the materials ourselves, doing them in such a little amount of time isn't good either. How do you guys think we can get the students liking their classes?
