　　范文：

　　As is illustrated in the picture, a couple sleeps on the same bed but they seem to be rather isolated from each other. Their oral communication has been replaced by online chatting. This picture reveals the in-depth problem of modern people’s alienation from each other, even among family members.

　　The issue is attributed to two factors. In the first place, modern people are fully occupied by their work and business, which causes so much tension that there is little time left for communication with each other. Everybody is busy all the time because of the pressure of survival in the society, which deprives them of a casual way of life. In the second place, the prevailing use of the Internet makes it easier for people to contact each other. However, the convenience of sending instant messages to anybody around the world prevents people from the pleasure of the face-to-face communication. In a sense, the addiction to internet exchange makes humans mechanical.

　　People should be aware that the modern modes of communication cannot take the place of traditional ones. If the couple in the drawing continues to behave like this, their close relationship might be ruined, perhaps even becoming the “closest stranger” some day. Direct communications, in contrast, helps construct more human connections among people.

　　譯文：

　　正如圖中所示，一對(duì)夫婦睡在同一張床上，但是他們看起來卻彼此孤立。上網(wǎng)聊天代替了他們的口頭交流。這幅圖深刻地揭示了一個(gè)問題，就是現(xiàn)代人彼此之間趨于異化，即使是在家庭成員之間。

　　這種情況主要取決于兩個(gè)原因。首先，現(xiàn)代人都忙于自己的工作，過大的壓力導(dǎo)致他們沒有時(shí)間與其他人進(jìn)行交流。由于社會(huì)生存壓力，每個(gè)人都非常忙碌，從而失去了休閑的生活方式。第二，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的廣泛使用使人們聯(lián)系彼此都變得更加方便。但是，雖然可以隨時(shí)給世界上任何一個(gè)人發(fā)即時(shí)消息，但是這種便利使人們失去了面對(duì)面交流的樂趣。從某種意義上說，過于沉溺于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的交流使人們變得更加機(jī)械。

　　我認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該意識(shí)到現(xiàn)代的交流方式不能取代傳統(tǒng)的交流方式。如果圖中的這幅夫妻繼續(xù)這樣下去的話，他們會(huì)毀掉曾經(jīng)的親密關(guān)系，甚至?xí)�變成最親近的陌生人。相反，直接的交流能夠幫助人們建立更加人性化的聯(lián)系。
