　　參考范文

　　For some people newspapers will remain the most important source of information while for others, it does not.

　　對一些人來說，報紙仍然是最重要的信息來源，而對另一些人來說，它不是。

　　Old people rely on newspapers. Firstly, old people like the actual print in newspapers better than the pulsating fonts on a screen. Easier to read, especially if you need to adjust the distance to your failing eyes. Secondly, old people like to read newspapers with a cup of coffee, not a keyboard, in hand. Old people also like to exchange sections with their husband/wife/lover and say, “Hey, Martha/Fred/Whoever, look at this.” Handing over a computer screen drains the freshly caffeinated moment of its magic. Thirdly, old people are a lot less interested in video and snappy graphics, online editions’ strong point, than youngsters with the attention span of gnats in heat. If old people want to viscerally experience a major news event, they turn on the TV.

　　老年人依賴報紙。首先，比起屏幕上跳動的字體，老年人更喜歡報紙上真實(shí)的字體。更容易閱讀，特別是當(dāng)你需要調(diào)整距離，以適應(yīng)你的失敗的眼睛。其次，老年人喜歡手里拿著一杯咖啡看報紙，而不是鍵盤。老年人也喜歡和他們的丈夫/妻子/愛人交換位置，并說:“嗨，瑪莎/弗雷德/隨便誰，看看這個�！苯怀鲭娔X屏幕會讓剛喝過咖啡的神奇瞬間瞬間消失殆盡。第三，老年人對視頻和漂亮的圖片(在線版的強(qiáng)項(xiàng))的興趣遠(yuǎn)不如那些注意力集中在熱蚊蚋上的年輕人。如果老年人想發(fā)自內(nèi)心地體驗(yàn)重大新聞事件，他們就會打開電視。

　　Young people feel differently. To them, speed matters. The truth is even the most frequently published papers are only distributed once per day. This simply means that papers cannot compete on speed, being first with a certain story. Even if one happens to get their hands on a story at the perfect time, a paper still have to be both printed, and distributed to people. This takes hours. What’s worse, morning newspapers brand themselves as dealing with “today’s news”, when in fact it’s the news from yesterday. This hasn’t been a problem before, since there was no faster way to get news. Now there is. If speed is important to one, one can easily subscribe to news via e-mail, Twitter or RSS, and be instantly updated. Let’s keep in mind, speed matters to young people a lot.

　　年輕人的感覺不一樣。對他們來說，速度很重要。事實(shí)上，即使是最經(jīng)常發(fā)表的論文每天也只分發(fā)一次。這僅僅意味著報紙無法在速度上與其他報紙競爭，因?yàn)樗鼈兪紫葥碛械氖悄硞�故事。即使一個人碰巧在一個完美的時間得到了一個故事，一份報紙仍然需要印刷，并分發(fā)給人們。這需要時間。更糟糕的是，早報標(biāo)榜自己在處理“今天的新聞”，而實(shí)際上是昨天的新聞。這以前不是一個問題，因?yàn)闆]有更快的方式獲取新聞。現(xiàn)在有。如果速度對一個人來說很重要，那么他可以很容易地通過電子郵件、Twitter或RSS訂閱新聞，并立即得到更新。讓我們記住，速度對年輕人來說很重要。

　　In conclusion, newspapers will play dominating role in old people’s sources of information. Young people tell a different story.

　　總之，報紙將在老年人的信息來源中發(fā)揮主導(dǎo)作用。年輕人講述著不同的故事。
