段子：

1.私家車與商品房在爭奪人們心中消費(fèi)第一支出的位置，這本身就是對(duì)傳統(tǒng)安居樂業(yè)觀念的超越與顛覆。買商品房是一種相當(dāng)靜態(tài)的保值型投資，這種不動(dòng)產(chǎn)提供的封閉空間，客觀上將人的生活固定在一種保守的模式上；而買車是一種積極的動(dòng)態(tài)投資，就汽車本身來說會(huì)越來越貶值，但在社交的意義和精神需要上，它能自由地將人帶往很遠(yuǎn)的地方和更大的圈子，使人與城市產(chǎn)生更活躍的交流。

3.短信息帶來的文明革命的典型圖景在日本。東京地鐵與街頭每天出現(xiàn)的景象足以讓社會(huì)學(xué)家和心理學(xué)家都瞠目結(jié)舌：成千上萬的人群，既有那些染著各種顏色頭發(fā)的少年人，也有背負(fù)家庭責(zé)任的主婦以及一輛嚴(yán)肅的辦公室一族，都不約而同拿地著各種顏色手機(jī)，不斷地用拇指在手機(jī)上按動(dòng)，對(duì)于他們來說，通過手機(jī)進(jìn)入移動(dòng)運(yùn)營商DoCoMo提供的平臺(tái)，就能上網(wǎng)閑聊、交換電子郵件和照片、收聽音樂、算命、玩游戲、定約會(huì)，甚至是買鮮花和賣股票。事實(shí)上，這已經(jīng)不僅僅是一種時(shí)尚，而是日本人在十年經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷之后為自己找到的一種最合適的溝通、娛樂和生活方式。

1.譯文：The fact that private cars are competing with commodity houses to be the first consideration in peoples consumption itself shows that the traditional idea of sticking to a certain place is challenged. The purchase of commodity houses is a kind of inflation proof investment. By limiting people in an isolated space, houses provide a type of conservative lifestyle. The purchase of private cars, however, is greatly different in that the private cars can easily take people to remoter places and into larger societies to have a wider communication in the city, no matter socially or spiritually, although the cars begin to devalue the very moment people buy them.

2.譯文：To charge for the use of email boxes has become a practice well accepted. That is in sharp contrast with the past when the various websites were blamed fiercely by the netizens simply because these websites attempted to charge the email box services. The cyber games operators followed a different way by charging for their service the very moment the players begin to use them. Despite of the existence of some bad operators, the players are satisfied with most operators and are ready to pay for their consumption.

3.譯文：SMS enjoys the greatest revolution in
Japan.
