End-users may store, forward, retrieve and erase the messages.voice mail 是语音邮件系统。它给顾客提供一个个人电子信箱，当终端用户不在或选择不接听电话时该邮箱可以发出问候（语）并接收信息。终端用户可以储存、转发、恢复和删除信息。-Para. 1Arent the above supposed to help us communicate with each other more easily?Is it not true that cell phones, e-mail and voice mail are supposed to help us communicate with each other more easily?Here, the above refers to cell phones, e-mail and voice mail that are mentioned in the title. 难道不是以上这些东西（手机、电子邮件和语音邮件）本该使我们彼此的交流更容易吗？Sadly, that is not always the case.Its a pity that this is not always true. (In other words, cell phones, e-mails, and voice mails are not always helpful to us when we need to communicate with each other.) 遗憾的是，事实并非如此。Take the other day for example, when I was walking through the park with my friend. For example, one day when I was taking a walk with my friend in the park.就拿几天前的一件事来说，当时我正和一位朋友在公园散步suddenly his cell phone rang突然，他的手机响了。.and he answered itignoring me and cutting our conversation dead!.and he answered the cell phone call, paying no attention to me at all and stopping our conversation completely!于是他只顾接电话，全然不理我，我们的谈话只好完全终止。dead: adv. suddenly and completely 突然地；完全地stop dead 突然停止In point of fact, the park was filled with people talking on their cell phones.In fact, you can find many people talking on their mobile phones here and there in the park.事实上，公园里随处可见持手机交谈的人people talking on their cell phones = people who were talking on their cell phonesThey were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to stroke their dogs.When they were walking by other people, they did not even have a look at them, nor did they stop to touch their dogs as a sign of love.他们从别人身边走过，甚至不看对方一眼，或者停下来抚摸一下对方的狗。It was clear that the voice on the cell phone was preferable to human contact.Obviously (显然), people like talking on the cell phone better than meeting and talking with each other face to face显然，手机里的声音比人与人面对面的接触更有吸引力。-Para. 2Here is another example: Last week, I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the caller on his cell phone.还有一个例子：上周我和三位朋友坐在车里。司机叫我们别说话，因为他听不见手机中的声音。There we were, four friends driving down the road, but not being allowed to talk to one another because of something that is supposed to make communication easier!Right in the car were the four of us friends, and we were driving down the road, but not allowed to talk to one another, simply because of the cell phone that is supposed to make communication easier.就这样，我们朋友四人坐在车里，行驶在路上，却不允许互相交流，就因为一个本该使交流更容易的东西！-Para. 3Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel?The more communication we have with the help of modern technology, the lonelier I feel. What is the reason for this strange thing?我们联系得越多，我就越感觉孤独。为什么会这样呢？it = that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feelEvery advance in communications technology seems to keep people from human contact.It seems that the development of communications technology discourages people from meeting and talking with each other face to face.通讯技术的每一项进步似乎都使人们远离面对面交往。With e-mail over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.As we can have e-mails over the interactive network, we are able to exchange (交流) information even when we dont meet or talk to each other.有了互联网上的电子邮件，人们即使看不见对方，不同对方当面讲话，也能交流。With voice mail, you can have conversations without ever meeting that person.As you have voice mail, you can talk to someone without ever meeting him or her.有了语音邮件，人们即使不见面也能交流。If my mum has a question如果母亲要问问题.I can just leave a message on her answer phone.I can just send her some information that may be stored in her mailbox.我可以在电话答录机上给她留言。-Para. 4As almost every kind of contact between human beings becomes automated, my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger.Since almost every kind of communication between people can be done by machines, my feeling of being lonely becomes stronger.随着人与人之间的交流几乎完全自动化，我的孤独感愈加强烈。You cant even call someone to get the phone number of another person, because getting a phone number now is almost always fully automated.You dont have to take the trouble calling someone to get the phone number of another person, because the job of getting a phone number is almost always fully done by a machine these days.你甚至用不着给某人打电话索要另一个人的电话号码，因为查号也几乎是全自动的。Pretty soon, you wont have to take the trouble of making eye contact at the food store;In the near future, when you buy something at a food store, you wont have to greet or face the people there.很快，在食品店里，你也不必费神与人目光接触.some stores are using a self-scanner so that you can check yourself out.some stores are using a machine called self-scanner, and with this machine you can pay for what youve bought without the cashier.有些商店正在使用自我扫描机，方便顾客自己结帐。-Para. 5Dont get me wrong; Im not against machines.Dont misunderstand (误会) me; I dont object (反对) to using machines.别误会我的意思，本人并不反对使用机器。I also own a cell phone, a voice mail system, and an e-mail account.我也有手机，有一个语音邮件系统和电子邮件帐户。Giving them up isnt a good idea, as they are useful to have around.It is not a good idea to give them up since they are useful when you keep them with you.既然手上有这些方便、有用的东西，充之不用显然不是个好主意。Its just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad.The point is that when they prevent us from meeting or talking face to face, I begin to feel unhappy.问题是：当这些东西使人们交往疏远时我开始感到伤心。It = the point; the important thingMore and more, I find myself answering e-mails instead of talking to people.I find myself spending more and more time answering e-mails, but les
