So Close, Yet So Far 那么近又那么远(3)
Social networking dominates my life in so many ways. Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7.50 pm, I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa.
社交网络在很多方面主导着我的生活。有时我会为自己设定截止日期:我将从晚上8点开始做作业,并计划在两个小时内完成。晚上7点50,我仍在浏览朋友的愚蠢帖子和照片。据我所知,现在是晚上9点30,而且我还没有离开沙发一英寸。
I download song after song, video after video, but I’m not really paying attention. The stimulation is in chasing after the next song rather than truly enjoying it. My friends try to drag me away from my phone, but as soon as I’m alone again, I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides.
