漢譯英;我想不起來哪一個熟人沒有手機(jī)。今天沒有手機(jī)的人是奇怪的，這種人才需要解釋。我們的所有社會關(guān)系都儲存在手機(jī)的電話本里，可以隨時調(diào)出使用。古代只有巫師才能擁有這種法寶。
手機(jī)刷新了人與人的關(guān)系。會議室門口通常貼著一條通告：請與會者關(guān)閉手機(jī)。可是會議室里的手機(jī)鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人，并沒有多少重要的事情。盡管如此，我們也不會輕易關(guān)掉手機(jī)。打開手機(jī)象征我們與這個世界的聯(lián)系。手機(jī)反映出我們的"社交饑渴癥"。最為常見的是，一個人走著走著突然停下來，眼睛盯著手機(jī)屏幕發(fā)短信。他不在乎停在馬路中央還是廁所旁邊。
