E段最后提到,读者所做的推测构成了“读者自身经验反应的基础”(form the basis of a personal response),因此与作者所想说的必然不会完全一致;这很好地成为了下段首this way的指代对象,也对应了下段首提到的“每个读者的理解轨迹不一定完全相同”(comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader)。
B段中的interpretations在后句重现。B提到读者自身的的各种因素会“鼓励读者进行某些方向的解读、但?蹦:踔练獗掌渌目赡堋保╡ncourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others);这很好地与后句观点“这并不意味着读者的解读是无关或无意义的(This doesn’t, however, make interpretations merely relative or even pointless)”构成了转折,后句首的however也有了基础。另外,后句首的this则可以回指B段的观点。
译文:原始森林从缅因州绵延到佐治亚州,拥有大量的树木且种类繁多,堪称宝藏。
Ironically revealed in the illustration are four young men, who are in a dinner and facing a tableful of dishes. Instead of tasting the gourmet food, all of them are staring at their mobile phones, and refreshing their weibos and wechats. None of them are talking to each other, and they are absorbed in the virtual world created by the the cell phones. Conspicuously, the mobile phones have not brought us closer but alienated us from our true friends.
The cartoonist, who might be a sociologist, apparently endeavers to convey the message that we ought to be aware of the negative influence of the modern technology. Two decades ago, when there were anything but mobile phones and iPad, life seemed much happier and simpler. We talked to our friends face-to-face, enjoyed every party, and cherished the moment of staying with our family. However, with the advent of the sharpest double-bladed sword, the all-mighty mobile phone, there has been no time in history where the lived lives of people have been changed more dramatically. We have grown progressively indifferent to everything that actually happens around us and people who genuinely care about us. The mobile phones have sadly and desperately replaced our friends, our family, even ourselves.
From my perspective, it is about time that we stopped this situation from worsening. We are supposed to make some ground rules, such as putting the phones aside in a meeting, class, and get-together, and punish those who break the rules. Moreover, each of us ought to recall the true love and warmth of being a real company to our friends and family and being accompanied by them when we were in need. Then, put down our mobile phones, hang out with them, and tell them how much you love them. You will find that without mobiles phones, we would be way much closer to each other.
第三段,综合评析这一不好的现象,甚至对手机这种“双刃剑”的高科技进行评析。最后谈一谈对人与人之间的交流的建议和和谐健康社会的憧憬。
