Do Mobiles Distract Study?

Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones. It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays. You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you. And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.

　无论你在何地，你都会看见许多人使用手机。如今，世界似乎越来越小了，只要你带上手机出门，不管你在哪儿，你都会被找到。而在大学校园里，手机也已经成为了一道新的风景。

Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.

学生们认为，手机可以让他们非常便利地与外界联系，特别是当他们找工作的时候，所以他们认为这是个必要的投资。

Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress. And mobile phones have been considered advanced for its attractive functions. The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones. To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants in the “Ivory Tower”.

　教育专家分析，手机进入校园是社会进步的体现。手机已经成为非常先进的科技产物，具有各种吸引人的功能。现在的年青人喜欢用手机发短信、上因特网、听音乐、甚至拍照。在某种程度上，这反映了大学生越来越融入这个现代社会，而不是待在“象牙塔”里的书呆子。

As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too. In classrooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints. And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.

　正如硬币都有两面一样，手机在提供方便的同时，也产生了一些问题。在教室里，不合时宜地响起的手机铃声不但打断了上课，而且破坏了学习的气氛，因此引起了诸多抱怨。手机使用者自己也同样是受害者。

Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.

　因此，我们应该更多地想想如何使手机适当地融入我们的生活。
