希望之星比赛英语演讲稿

　　Staying Connected Or Losing Connection?

　　Recently, I was walking in a park with a friend, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our talk. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and oops, I become invisible, absent from the conversation.

　　I’m wondering how strange it is that the telephone used to connect you to the absent, but now, it makes people who sitting next to you feel absent.

　　That’s the funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution, we stopped talking to another. It is that all the communications technology tools make me feel lonely.

　　Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction. You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore. Directory assistance is becoming increasingly automated.

　　I’m not a Luddite. I know that if I dial 110,I could get instant help in only 3 minutes from policeman whenever and wherever. What’s more, I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and E-mail account. Giving them up is an option. But as a matter of fact, they are great for what they are intended to do, it’s their unintended consequences that make me cringe.

　　The communications industry devoted to facilitating my anti-social instincts. So, I’m starting my own technology revolution: no more instant messaging with people who live near me; no more talking on the mobile in the presents of friends; no more letting the voice-mail pick up a call when I’m free.

　　Can you imagine that: if there is no one in the room to hear you exclaim: that’s miraculous! So, tell me what good is all this miraculous technology?

　　参考译文：

　　保持联系还是失去联系?

　　前不久，与一个朋友在公园里散步，他的手机忽然响了，打断了我们的谈话，如此阳光明媚的日子，我们愉快地谈着话。可是，突然，我却变成了被忽略的局外人，被弃在谈话之外。

　　我于是在想这样奇怪的一种现象：电话本用来联系不在场的人，而现在，却让在你身边的人感觉不在场似的。

　　就是如此让人啼笑皆非的事发生在现今通信改革的过程中，我们不再互相交谈，所有的让人们增进接触的工具让我们更孤单。

　　通信技术的进步都给人类互相之间的亲密交流增设一道新障碍，甚至再也没法打电话去询问别人的电话号码，自动化程度日益提高的电话号码查询系统能帮你搞定一切。

　　我不是反对自动化的人，我知道如果我有麻烦拨打110，我可以在任何时候任何地方在3分钟之内得到警方的帮助。而且，我有一部手机，一张ATM卡，一部语言邮件系统，一个电子邮件账号，放弃他们可不是我要的。而实际上，就人们希望他们做的事，他们做得很好，是那些副作用让我们困惑。

　　竭诚帮助人们更好地互相联系的电信事业，却助长了我疏于交际的天性。为此，我开始自己的革命，对在我附近的人，不使用短信息;不在朋友在场时用手机讲话;当我有空时不用语音系统接电话。

　　你能想象，倘若你独自一人惊叹：“这些太神气了!”而无人呼应，那又有什么乐趣呢?
