Part Four: Monologue
Carl’s Note:
Getting a phone in America is very easy. Almost every home has not just one, but two or three telephones. This has made it very easy to for people to get internet access in there homes as well. Mobile phones are also used, but not as much, perhaps, as in the China’s big cities. Young people like mobile phones because they can get in touch with friends easily, but many adults only have them if they need them for work. Some people who value their privacy don’t like cell phones because people can call them whenever they want. As mobile phones get better, and offer the ability to check email, sports scores, news and other information, more and more people are buying and using mobile phones.
卡爾的話:
在美國獲得一臺電話機非常容易。幾乎每個家庭都有不下兩、三臺的電話機。這也就使得人們在家上網(wǎng)也很方便。人們也使用手機,但是可能不如中國大城市使用得那么頻繁。年輕人之所以使用手機是方便和朋友聯(lián)系,成年人則只是為了工作。一些看重隱私的人則不太喜歡使用手機,原因是別人只要愿意隨時都可以打電話給他。隨著手機的日益改善,其提供的功能包括收電子郵件,了解體育比賽結(jié)果,接收新聞及其他信息,越來越多的人購買和使用手機。
