生活英語開講 　Taiwan Goes Mobile

　　 What tiny gadget lets you call your friends, take pictures, listen to music, and surf the Internet?

A cell phone, of course. Now that Taiwan has more cell phones than people,

these handy machines are an inescapable feature of our everyday lives.

　　 These ultimate all-in-one toys offer more features all of the time.

You can use your mobile phone as a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock.

Cell phones also let you play games, send text messages, and even watch movies.

In many ways, cell phones can replace a computer, a PDA, and an MP3 player.

On a more practical note, these phones enable parents

to stay in touch with their children and people to get help in an emergency.

　　 Not everyone loves cell phones, however. They can be very annoying

when they ring in public, especially in a theater or a meeting.

Even worse, some people rudely hold loud, personal conversations no matter where they are.

While, we are enjoying the conveniences cell phones bring us,

we should also watch our cell phone etiquette.

手機響遍台灣

　　什麼小電氣用品能讓你打電話給朋友、照相、聽音樂和上網路？

答案當然是「手機」！現在台灣的手機數量比人還多，

這個方便的小機器已是我們每天生活不可或缺的東西。

　　這個集各種功能於一身－最上乘的「玩具」，還提供更多的功能，

你可以用手機當計算機、日曆和鬧鐘，

手機可以讓你玩由遊戲、傳送簡訊、甚至看電影。

在很多方面手機可以取代電腦、PDA（個人數位助理）和MP3播放器。

實用方面，手機使父母能夠跟孩子隨時保持聯絡，也可以在緊急時刻得到援助。

　　不過，不是每個人都喜歡手機。

手機有時在公共場所，尤其是戲院或開會時響起，令人生厭。

更差的是，有些人一機在手，不管在哪裡，就粗魯地大聲講私事。

當大家享受手機的方便時，

更應該注重使用手機的禮節。
