Do Mobiles Distract Study?

Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones. It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays. You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you. And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.

　無論你在何地，你都會看見許多人使用手機。如今，世界似乎越來越小了，只要你帶上手機出門，不管你在哪兒，你都會被找到。而在大學校園里，手機也已經成為了一道新的風景。

Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.

學生們認為，手機可以讓他們非常便利地與外界聯系，特別是當他們找工作的時候，所以他們認為這是個必要的投資。

Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress. And mobile phones have been considered advanced for its attractive functions. The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones. To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants in the “Ivory Tower”.

　教育專家分析，手機進入校園是社會進步的體現。手機已經成為非常先進的科技產物，具有各種吸引人的功能。現在的年青人喜歡用手機發短信、上因特網、聽音樂、甚至拍照。在某種程度上，這反映了大學生越來越融入這個現代社會，而不是待在“象牙塔”里的書呆子。

As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too. In classrooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints. And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.

　正如硬幣都有兩面一樣，手機在提供方便的同時，也產生了一些問題。在教室里，不合時宜地響起的手機鈴聲不但打斷了上課，而且破壞了學習的氣氛，因此引起了諸多抱怨。手機使用者自己也同樣是受害者。

Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.

　因此，我們應該更多地想想如何使手機適當地融入我們的生活。
