1、u3 acollege life in the internet age互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時代的大學生活the college campus, long a place of scholarship and frontiers of new technology, is being transformed into a new age of electronics by a fleet of laptops, smartphones and connectivity 2hours a day大學校園長久以來都是學術之地，也是新技術的前沿?，F(xiàn)在隨著手提電腦和智能手機的大量 出現(xiàn)，加上每天2小時不間斷的網(wǎng)絡連

2、接，大學校園正在轉而進入電了設備的新時代。on a typical modern-day campus, where every building and most outdoor common areas offer wireless internet access, one student takes her laptop everywhere in class, she takes notes with it, sometimes instant-messaging or emailing friends if the professor is less than interesting

3、. in her dorm, she instant-messages her roommate sitting just a few feet away. she is tied to her smartphone, which she even uses to text a friend who lives one floor above her, and which supplies music for walks between classes在典型的現(xiàn)代校園里，每幢建筑和大部分室外公共區(qū)域都提供無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入，學生可以把 手提電腦帶到任何地方。課堂上，她用手提電腦記筆記，有時如果教授

4、的課一點都沒意思， 她就會給朋友發(fā)送即時信息或電了郵件。在寢室，她甚至會給近在咫尺的室友發(fā)送即時信息。 她離不開智能手機，甚至對住在樓上的朋友也要發(fā)短信；在從上一堂課去下一堂課的路上她 也要用智能手機聽音樂。welcome to college life in the 2st century, where students on campus are electronically linked to each other, to professors and to their classwork 24/in an ever-flowing river of information and co

5、mmunication. with many schools offering wireless internet access anywhere on campus, colleges as a group have become the most internet-accessible spots in the world.歡迎來體驗2世紀的大學生活：通過源源不斷的信息流，學生之間、師生之間以及學生和 課堂作業(yè)之間建立了電子化的聯(lián)系，一天2小時，一周天，從不間斷。在許多學校，無線 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接覆蓋了校園的各個角落，大學整體上也因此成為世界上互聯(lián)網(wǎng)最普及的地方。 students say th

6、ey really value their fingertip-access to the boundless amount of information online, and the ability to email professors at a.m and receive responses the next morning. hi always feel like i have a means of communication - in class and out of class/1 says one engineering major.學生們說他們非?？粗貏觿邮种妇涂色@得無限的網(wǎng)

7、上信息，還可以在凌晨兩點給教授發(fā)電子 郵件，并能在第二天早上收到教授的回復。一位工程專業(yè)的學生說：“我覺得無論在課內還 是在課外，我都擁有一種交流手段。”many are using smartphones, not only to create their own dialects when texting, but also to do more serious work, such as practicing foreign languages and analyzing scripts from their theater classes很多學生不僅使用智能手機自創(chuàng)語體發(fā)短信，而且也用

8、智能手機來做更正經(jīng)的工作，比如練 習外語、分析戲劇課的腳本等。in a univers讓y class on the history of american radio, students use smartphones to record their own radio shows the course instructor said, mifs adding to students1 sense of excdement about the subject/1 professors have been encouraged to tape their lectures and post t

9、hem online"we realized there might be some potential for a device that could get attention and encourage sophisticated thinking/* says one leading university director 在一所大學的有關美國廣播電臺歷史的課上，學生們用智能手機錄下他們自己的廣播節(jié)目。 教授這門課的教師說：“這提高了學生學習這門課的興奮感?！睂W校也鼓勵教授錄下授課內容 并發(fā)布到網(wǎng)上。一位一流大學的主管說：“我們意識到，像這樣一種能夠引起學生關注、并 促使他們

10、深入思考的工具也許大有潛力。”for most undergraduates, nonstop internet connectiv讓y is the fuel of college life. more than just toys, these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of virtually every kind of information. and as more people around the world adopt these instruments, they are bec

11、oming indispensable so, students should use the wonders of the internet to do homework, review lecture outlines, take part in class discussions and network online with their friends but in doing so, students must remember to regulate and balance their time. too much time online can mean too little t

12、ime in real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends students should not let the internet world on their computer screens take them away from the real world outside對于大多數(shù)本科生來說，永不間斷的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是大學生活的動力。網(wǎng)絡工具不只是玩具，而且 是儲存和管理兒乎各種信息的強大工具。隨著世界上越來越多的人使用這些工具，它們已經(jīng) 變得不可或缺。所以，學生應該運用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)所創(chuàng)造的奇跡來完成作業(yè)、復習講座提綱、參與 課

13、堂討論、與朋友們進行網(wǎng)上社交。但是在做這些的同時，學生們必須記住，要控制和平衡 好時間。上網(wǎng)時間過長就意味著在現(xiàn)實生活中學習、鍛煉或和朋友敘談的時間過少。學生們 不應該讓電腦屏幕上的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)世界使他們脫離外面的現(xiàn)實世界。colleges began embracing internet access in the mid-990s, when many began wiring dorms with high-speed connections. in the past few years, schools have taken the lead by turning their campuse

14、s into bubbles of wi-fi networks. in fact, a recent study in the us found that information technology accounted for 5% to 8% of college budgets, up from an estimated 2% to 3% in the mid-980s.大學在2世紀9年代中期迎來互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，那時許多大學開始給學生寢室接入高速網(wǎng)絡。在過 去的幾年中，學校率先把校園變成了被無線網(wǎng)絡覆蓋的世界。事實上，美國最近的一項研究 發(fā)現(xiàn)，信息技術的投入占高校預算的5%-8%,比2世紀8年

15、代中期約2%-3%的投入有 所增加。on one campus, students use wi-fi to fire off instant messages, review their homework assignments, and check their bank balances. just nine miles down the highway, another university had been feeling a bit of a technology inferiority complex. to compensate, it spent tens of thousan

16、ds of dollars to give every one of h:s incoming freshmen a free apple ipad有一所大學里，學生用無線網(wǎng)絡發(fā)送即時信息、復習家庭作業(yè)以及查看銀行賬戶余額。而就 在沿公路往前九英里處，另一所大學一直有種技術不如別人的自卑感。為了彌補這一點，該 大學花了數(shù)萬美元給每一名入學新生免費贈送了一臺蘋果ipadosome universities even require that all students own or lease a laptop some say the focus on technology prepares s

17、tudents for a wired world. hyou have to keep up with the rest of the world. students expect high-bandwidth information, and if you carft deliver it, you're at a competitive disadvantage, states a university president 右些大學其至要求所右學生擁仃或租用一臺手提電腦。仃人說注重技術可以使學生作好準備 面對被網(wǎng)絡連接的世界。一位大學校長指出：“你必須與世界保持同步，學生們期望通

18、過高 帶寬獲取信息。如果你不能提供，你就會在競爭中處于劣勢?！眔ther colleges are straining to stand out from their peers. the race to attract students with the most modem networks and the hottest systems has reached fever pitch some business majors are receiving free portable computers in an always-connected mode, they can get in

19、formation anytime and anywhere they need one university is even giving its freshmen new smartphones to enrich the student experience and prepare them for success in a rapidly changing world 其他大學正努力從同行當中脫穎而出。大學之間用最現(xiàn)代的網(wǎng)絡和最熱門的系統(tǒng)來吸引學生 的競爭已經(jīng)達到狂熱的地步。一些商科專業(yè)的學生可以領到免費的便攜式電腦。在永久在線 模式下，他們可以根據(jù)需要隨時隨地獲取信息。一所大學甚至為

20、新生配備了智能手機，以豐 富其大學經(jīng)歷，為他們在一個日新月異的世界上取得成功作好準備。for those who prefer to travel laptop-free, colleges supply several computer labs. and for students who study late into the night, many have set up 24-hour repair shops where students can get their laptops fixed by the next day and receive a loaner in the m

21、eantime大學還為那些不喜歡隨身攜帶手提電腦的學生提供了若于個機房。而且，許多大學為那些熬 夜學習的學生開設了 2小時電腦維修店，電腦第二天就可以修好，而口.在電腦送修期間， 學生可以使用維修點提供的代用電腦。colleges around the world have been replacing their computer systems for the past decade, in large part to provide students with the most advanced free system the anywhere-anytime access has al

22、ready yielded amazing benefits in education. with the widespread application of computer technologies, we are going to produce a generation of problem-solvers and intelligent thinkers, which is indispensable for the future of the world.u3 btoo much of a good thing a real addiction過猶不及真正的成癮perhaps th

23、e greatest change the world has seen in modern times has been the rise of the internet. its hard to deny the positive changes it adds to people's lives as it makes life easier with quick access to things like maps, news, and online stores as a research tool, it is unmatched it's a great way

24、to keep up with friends it enables a wealth of media outlets and alternative news sources. internet access and the ability to make good use of it is practically a must for success in the modern world.現(xiàn)代世界經(jīng)歷的最大變化也許就是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的崛起。我們難以否認網(wǎng)絡給人們的生活帶來的種 種便利。通過網(wǎng)絡，人們能夠迅速地查到諸如地圖、新聞和網(wǎng)上商店等，網(wǎng)絡使生活變得簡 單。作為研究工具，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是無與倫比的

25、。它是我們與朋友保持聯(lián)系的極好的途徑。它給我 們提供多樣的媒體渠道以及各種各樣的新聞來源。有條件上網(wǎng)以及有能力充分利用網(wǎng)絡是現(xiàn) 代社會取得成功的必要條件。like any technology, though, it has negative aspects that become clear as we start to depend upon it. like pollution and traffic jams that come with the convenience of cars, internet access has proven so popular that it has

26、 given rise to a new kind of social epidemic, internet addiction.然而，像任何技術一樣，隨著我們開始依賴網(wǎng)絡，網(wǎng)絡的負面因素就顯現(xiàn)出來。正如伴隨著 汽車的便利而來的是污染和交通堵塞一樣，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大行其道導致了一種新的社會流行病, 那就是網(wǎng)癮。consider the following stories. a few years ago, a couple in the urdted states was charged with child neglect. it was their addiction to playing ga

27、mes online that kept them from caring for their two infant children. another recent news story told of a man who spent so much time online that he didn, t sleep enough to keep his job. eventually, he lost his house but kept his laptop and stil spent all day online. 看看下面的報道。幾年前，美國一對夫婦被指控疏于照顧孩子。正是因為他們

28、迷戀網(wǎng)絡游戲 而疏于對兩個幼兒的照顧。最近還有個關于一位男子的新聞報道，他因為上網(wǎng)時間過長，導 致睡眠不足而丟掉了工作。最終，他連房子都沒了，但他保留了手提電腦，仍然整日上網(wǎng)。 college students are impacted as well. there are many stories of excellent students who lost their university scholarships from poor grades, or of other students who failed at the university altogether simply be

29、cause they spent too much time online.大學生們也受到影響。有很多報道是關于一些優(yōu)秀的學生由于成績差而失去獎學金，還有的 學生因此而無法畢業(yè)，這全是因為他們上網(wǎng)時間過長所致。one student not only failed, but lost 1 pounds he was so involved online that he forgot to eat! imagine the agony of this condition!有一個學生不僅沒有畢業(yè)，而且體重減了 1磅。他過于沉迷網(wǎng)絡，結果連飯都忘了吃！想 一想，這是多么令人痛心啊！these thi

30、ngs did not happen to these people because they were lazy or stupid. they happened because of addiction. new college students, even the brightest and most successful ones, are most at risk from these effects because the internet is important for their studies and because they are just entering a wor

31、ld where their online hab讓s are no longer monitored by concerned parents without the discipline and structure of home, students have to manage time by themselves. during their very first term, their grades can plunge, their health decline, and their friendships cease這些事情發(fā)生在這些人身上，不是因為他們懶惰或愚蠢，而是因為他們上網(wǎng)

32、成癮。新入學的 大學生，甚至是那些最聰明、最成功的大學生，受此影響的風險最大，因為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對他們的 學業(yè)很重要，也因為他們剛剛進入一個新環(huán)境，他們的上網(wǎng)習慣不再受到關心他們的父母的 監(jiān)督。沒有家人的監(jiān)督和約束，學生們只能自己管理上網(wǎng)時間。在第一學期，他們可能成績 驟降、健康受損、友誼中斷。it is easy for those who are unaffected by the powerful draw of connectiv讓y those who can easily control their time online - to view internet addiction as a

33、n imaginary problem or to attribute its origins to a weak personality. but the brain chemistry behind internet addiction is not imaginary. many common internet interactions, such as scoring points in online games, getting emails or instant messages, finding new blog entries, all cause the release of

34、 endorphins in the brain. endorphins are the essential brain chemicals connected with positive feelings of success and pleasure. this is no surprise, considering that internet interactions often involve succeeding at a challenge or having social exchanges 那些不受網(wǎng)絡巨大吸引力影響的人，也就是那些可以輕松控制上網(wǎng)時間的人，容易把網(wǎng)癮問 題看作

35、是假想的問題，或者把網(wǎng)癮的根源歸咎于軟弱的性格。但是，網(wǎng)癮的背后有其腦部化 學病理，這不是想象出來的。許多常見的網(wǎng)絡互動，如在網(wǎng)絡游戲中得分、接收電子郵件或 即時信息、尋找新的博客日志，所有這些都會引發(fā)大腦中內啡肽的釋放。內啡肽是大腦中與 成功和快樂這些正面情緒相關的重要化學物質。鑒于網(wǎng)絡互動經(jīng)常包含成功應對挑戰(zhàn)或進行 社會交往，因此網(wǎng)絡互動能引起內啡肽的釋放也就不足為奇了。our brains reward us for these activities in real life all the time. 對于這些現(xiàn)實生活中的活動，我們的大腦一直在給予我們獎勵。the trouble wi

36、th the internet is that it makes it possible to have unnaturally long periods of endorphin release, sustained rewards from the brain that are as quick as the click of a mouse. these rewards are not actual, useful, real-life rewards, but simple stimulation that arouses positive feedback in the brain

37、in real life endorphins encourage us to interact w讓h friends or family, or attempt to learn something new. with internet addiction endorphins do nothing but keep people hooked to their computers. internet addicts behave very much like gamblers pulling the lever at machines in las vegas, even if it is not rational, hurts their studies or spoils their health and their lives.互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的問題在于，它可以造成過于長期的、非自然的內啡肽釋放，也就是來自大腦的持續(xù) 不斷的獎勵，就像點擊鼠標一樣快速。這些獎勵不是真實的、有用的、現(xiàn)實的獎勵，它們只 是引發(fā)大腦中正面反饋的簡單刺激。在現(xiàn)實生活中，內啡肽促使我們和朋友、家人交往或者 嘗試學習新東西。而一旦上網(wǎng)成癮，內啡肽只會使人更加迷戀電腦。仃網(wǎng)癮的人的行為
