Part Four: Monologue3
Carl’s Note:
Getting a phone in America is very easy. Almost every home has not just one, but two or three telephones. This has made it very easy to for people to get internet access in there homes as well. Mobile4 phones are also used, but not as much, perhaps, as in the China’s big cities. Young people like mobile phones because they can get in touch with friends easily, but many adults only have them if they need them for work. Some people who value their privacy5 don’t like cell6 phones because people can call them whenever they want. As mobile phones get better, and offer the ability to check email, sports scores, news and other information, more and more people are buying and using mobile phones.
卡尔的话：
在美国获得一台电话机非常容易。几乎每个家庭都有不下两、三台的电话机。这也就使得人们在家上网也很方便。人们也使用手机，但是可能不如中国大城市使用得那么频繁。年轻人之所以使用手机是方便和朋友联系，成年人则只是为了工作。一些看重隐私的人则不太喜欢使用手机，原因是别人只要愿意随时都可以打电话给他。随着手机的日益改善，其提供的功能包括收电子邮件，了解体育比赛结果，接收新闻及其他信息，越来越多的人购买和使用手机。
