7.網(wǎng)絡(luò) 對話
Steven is talking about the Internet with Julia...
史蒂文和菜莉婭正在討論網(wǎng)絡(luò)問題……
Steven: Julia, what do you think of the network?
史蒂文:茱莉婭,對于現(xiàn)代網(wǎng)絡(luò)你怎么看?
Julia: Network is omnipresent nowadays. It's quite convenient for people. You see, we can download music and information from the Internet; I can study from it, too. And the most of all, we can compose, send, and receive e-mails.
茱莉婭:現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)無處不在,方便了人們的生活。你看,我們可以從網(wǎng)上下載音樂、信息,還可以在線學(xué)習(xí)。更重要的是我們可以撰寫、發(fā)送和接收電子郵件。
Steven: Yeah, you are right. Internet makes our lives easier. But it's a two-blade sword.
史蒂文:是啊,因特網(wǎng)給我們的生活帶來了便利,但是它卻是一把雙刃劍。
Julia: What do you mean?
茱莉婭:這是什么意思啊?
Steven: I mean Internet brings benefit a lot, but also some disadvantages. For example, many youngsters are addicted to the games and they neglect their study; or some bad guys steal people's money online, etc.
史蒂文:我是說雖然網(wǎng)絡(luò)帶給人的好處很多,但壞處也不少。比如,很多年輕人沉迷于電子游戲而荒廢了學(xué)業(yè);還有一些壞人利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)偷盜他人的錢財,等等。
Julia: I agree. But I think although it has some negative effects, on the whole Internet does more good to us than harm.
茱莉婭:是的。盡管網(wǎng)絡(luò)有某些負面影響,但總體來說,它的好處還是多于壞處的。
Steven: Yeah, you are right. But we have to know how to make good use of it.
史蒂文:嗯,你說得對。但是我們必須知道如何利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
