社交網絡的影響 The Influence of The Social Network Service
自從社交網絡在年輕人的生活裏變得普遍，它不但影響了我們社交的方式，也影響了這個國家的文化和傳統。
Take the spring festival as an example, traditionally, in the evening of the Chinese New Year eve, the whole family usually would have a reunion meal. Many of the family members are not really be at home quite often spending time with others especially with their old parents, so this reunion meal is very important for every family to have a chance to talk, enjoy the together time. But today all has changed. The most common look of the reunion meal now is that all young people eat quietly meanwhile the eyes are staring at their cell phone, checking out their “Friend Circle” to see if anyone update the status. They only make sounds when someone grab a red envelop with very lousy money in it. The old parents feel awkward when facing this weird situation, no one would even like to talk to them, the reunion meal turns out that there is just a bunch of strange people eating at the same table.
就拿春節來說，傳統上說，在除夕的晚上，全家人通常會在一起吃團圓飯。許多人也沒有真正經常呆在家裏跟家人在一起，尤其是跟老人們在一起，所以團圓飯尤其重要，大家可以一起聊聊天，享受在一起的時光。但是如今一切都變了。團圓飯最普遍的畫面就是，年輕人們都安安靜靜的吃飯，眼鏡死死的盯着手機，查看他們的“朋友圈”有沒有人更新狀態。只有在他們搶到一個紅包的時候纔會發出聲響，而紅包裏的錢少得可憐。老人們在面對這種怪異的場面時異常尷尬，沒人願意跟他們說說話，團圓飯變成了只是一羣陌生的人在同一張桌子吃飯而已。
And the TV shows are pushing this more far ahead. They will set some interactive sessions to encourage people use the social network service on their cell phone to get some bonus. So even TV time people still stick to their cell phone and have no word for others sitting around. Seems like the social network service is completely replace the normal communication offline. That will obviously ruin the relationship with family.
而電視節目也在推波助瀾。他們會設置一些互動環節，鼓勵觀衆用他們的手機上的社交網絡服務獲取一些獎勵。所以即使是看電視的時候，人們也始終跟手機粘在了一起，不跟周圍的人說一句話。好像社交網絡已經完全代替了正常的線下交流。這顯然會破壞家庭關係。
I wouldn’t say the social network service is all bad, but somehow, I prefer to communicate face to face with someone I really care.
我不是說社交網絡有什麼不好，但是我想我更喜歡跟我在乎的人面對面進行交流。
