Body paragraph 1
Undeniably, mounting desire for speed is mainly due to leap-frog technological advancements. Emerging generative artificial intelligence has seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, whether be keeping pace with the news updates in a faraway war-torn region or purchasing high-grade Arabica beans from an overseas coffee farm. This cultural shift has reshaped one’s definition of speed, resulting in further push for faster solutions in other aspects of life. Another speculation, however, relates to modern hectic lifestyle.

不可否认，对速度的渴望越来越强烈，主要是由于技术的跨越式进步。新兴的可生成人工智能已经无缝地融入了我们的日常生活，无论是了解最新消息关于遥远饱受战争蹂躏的地区，还是从海外的咖啡农场购买高级阿拉比卡咖啡豆。这种文化转变重塑了人们对速度的定义，导致在生活的其他方面进一步推动更快的解决方案。然而，另一种猜测与现代忙碌的生活方式有关。强调效率的一个很好的例子是“得来速”服务和咖啡送餐服务越来越受欢迎，它们迎合了人们在更复杂的日程安排中最大化利用时间的需求。

Body paragraph 2
The mania for speed deserves more attention than it is likely to get. On the surface, demands for immediate response are justified for those with technological savviness, as precious time should be saved for matters of utmost importance. However, this limbo of constant emergency is a pure manifestation of one’s shortened attention span, ultimately unleashing agitation and anxiety. The inability of concentration also has a negative impact on one’s performance- with problems including inertia on work and study. Another long-term worry pertains to one’s waning faith over the future; the worst scenario is that one may end up grabbing immediate but smaller rewards in life, while skipping the bigger but postponed rewards.
解析
本段译文(translation)：
对速度的狂热应该得到比它可能得到的更多的关注。从表面上看，对于那些精通技术的人来说，要求立即作出反应是合理的，因为应该为最重要的事情节省宝贵的时间。然而，这种持续的紧急状态纯粹是一个人注意力持续时间缩短的表现，最终会释放出躁动和焦虑。无法集中注意力也会对一个人的表现产生负面影响——包括工作和学习上的惰性。另一个长期的担忧是人们对未来信心的减弱；最糟糕的情况是，人们最终可能会抓住生活中即时但较小的奖励，而忽略了更大但推迟的奖励。
不太常见的词汇(less common lexical items)：
❖ mania 狂热/热衷n.
❖ on the surface 表面上看来
❖ immediate response 立即的回应

Conclusion
To conclude, although requirement for faster and swifter consumption may be a testament to modernized world, it could be a hindrance to commendable qualities, notably being patient in difficulties.
解析
