我想不起來哪一個熟人沒有手機。今天沒有手機的人是奇怪的,這種人才需要解釋。我們的所有社會關系都儲存在手機的電話本里,可以隨時調出使用。古代只有巫師才能擁有這種法寶。
手機刷新了人與人的關系。會議室門口通常貼著一條通告:請與會者關閉手機。可是會議室里的手機鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人,并沒有多少重要的事情。盡管如此,我們也不會輕易關掉手機。打開手機象征我們與這個世界的聯(lián)系。手機反映出我們的"社交饑渴癥".最為常見的是,一個人走著走著突然停下來,眼睛盯著手機屏幕發(fā)短信。他不在乎停在馬路中央還是廁所旁邊。
為什么對于手機來電和短信這么在乎?因為我們迫切渴望與社會保持聯(lián)系。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency - a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here. But there is hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst - though not all - of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.
However, too many of the world's leaders are still best described in the words of Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler's threat: "They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, all powerful to be impotent."
So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun.
