Human Communication---Face-to-Face Is Better?
面對面交流是否更好
The issue whether face-to-face communication is better than any other communication means is quite controversial. While modern ways of communication such as telephone calls or email can be fast and convenient, fact-to-face communication has its own advantages.
面對面交流是否優越于其他交流方式,這一話題引起了人們的爭議。例如電話、電子郵箱等現代交流方式更加便捷,但是面對面交流有它自己的優勢。
Personally speaking, I don’t think face-to-face communication is better than any other ways of communication.First of all, face-to-face communication is usually effective because people meet and see each other, apart from the information exchanged verbally, things like their facial expressions and body movements also help them understand each other, and so there is the least chance for a misunderstanding to occur. But we have to admit that this way of communication is overwhelmingly restricted by time and space, since quiteoften we will have to communicate with people who are far away or tied up at the moment. On the other hand,telephone calls, email, or text message under such circumstances become efficient means of communication.We can call people if they are far away, and we can email them if they are tied up for the time being. Furthermore, making telephone calls is also a way of immediate communication except that we can’t see the person. Nowadays there are also various real-time chat tools through the Internet available. Video and audioonline communication can function equally like face-to-face communication.
我個人認為,我不認為面對面交流優越于其它交流方式。首先,面對面交流更有效率,因為人們經常見面,除了口頭的信息溝通,他們的面部表情,肢體動作都有益于人們的理解,所以,產生誤會的幾率就會降低。但是,我們不得不承認的是這種交流方式受到了時間和空間的限制,通常,我們都是與距離相隔較遠,以及正在忙碌的人們交流。從另一方面說,電話、郵箱或者是短信在這種情況下就更加有效。我們可以給距離相隔較遠的人打電話,如果他們比較忙,我們還可以給他們發電子郵箱。此外,除了無法看見對方以外,打電話是最直接的溝通方式。如今,在網絡上有許多實時對話工具。在線的視頻和語音聊天就等同于面對面交流。
In a nutshell, I don’t think face-to-face communication is better than any other communication means in the fast-paced world. With the fast development of science and technology, I am positive that there will bemore efficient and effective ways of communication in the future.
總結,在當今快速多變的世界中,我不認為面對面交流優越于其他交流方式。隨著科學和技術的發展,未來還將有更多高效的交流方式。
