People’s Love to Communicate Never Changes
In the past, it was a small stamp that helped family members and friends to keep in touch with each other. With the coming of the telephone, people could not only read words, but also hear each other’s voices. Later, the rise of the Internet joins people in different places with QQ, Skype, Blog and Facebook. Nowadays, WeChat gives people even more ways to communicate.
Most young people want to enjoy the warm love from their family and friends, but not too much control from them. They want to follow the time closely, but they also long for peace of mind. The new ways of communication make this possible. Often, they only need a simple “Hello” to change yesterday’s strangers into today’s friends. And they can also keep silent in a friend circle.
There are pros and cons in this change. Many people worry about their privacy. Many parents worry about their children’s friend circles: They are too large and too different! However, the new ways of communication could give them freedom and chance to make smart choices. Parents can also have a try themselves!
译文:
人们对沟通的热爱从未改变
在过去,帮助家庭成员和朋友保持联系的是一张小小的邮票。随着电话的到来,人们不仅能读到文字,还能听到对方的声音。再后来,互联网的兴起让身处四面八方的人们可以通过QQ、视频电话、博客和脸书进行沟通。如今,微信更为人们提供了更多的交流方式。
大多数年轻人希望享受来自家人和朋友温暖的关爱,但又不想要太多的管控。他们想紧跟时代,同时又渴望心灵的宁静。新的沟通方式使这成为可能。通常,他们只需要一个简单的“你好”就可以把昨天的陌生人变成今天的朋友;同样他们也可以在朋友圈里长久地潜水。
这种变化有利有弊。许多人担心自己的隐私。许多父母担心孩子的朋友圈,太大太杂了!然而,新的沟通方式可以给予他们做出明智选择的自由和机会。父母们自己也可以试试!
