Robert:
The Internet Harms① Friendships
While② the Internet can bring people closer③ together,it can also harm friendships.
①harm /hɑːm/vt.& n.伤害,损害
②while conj.虽然,尽管
③closer adj.靠近的
罗伯特:
网络伤害友谊
虽然互联网可以使人们更紧密地团结在一起,但它也可能损害友谊。
Firstly,talking online is no replacement④ for face-to-face⑤ contact⑥—images really cannot replace⑦ a real-life⑧ smile or
hug⑨.According to⑩ a parenting expert⑪,Denise Daniels,communicating⑫ through a screen⑬ makes it more difficult for children to concentrate⑭ or show kindness to others.As we know,important social skills⑮ are developed⑯ through direct contact with other people.It is these skills that enable⑰ us to develop lifelong⑱ friendships.
according to是介词词组作状语;communicating through a screen是动名词短语作主语;it作形式宾语代替后面的不定式复合结构for children to concentrate...。
该句是强调句型“It is+被强调部分+that...”。
④replacement n.替换;替代者
⑤face-to-face adj.面对面的,当面的
⑥contact n.接触,联系
⑦replace/rI'pleIs/ vt.取代;接替
⑧real-life adj.现实的,实在的
⑨hug /hʌɡ/n.& vt.拥抱;紧抱
⑩according to根据,按照
⑪parenting expert育儿专家
⑫communicate v.沟通;交流
⑬screen n.屏幕
⑭concentrate /'kɒnsəntreIt/vi.专注,专心;集中注意力
⑮social skill社会技能
⑯develop v.开发;发展;使显影
⑰enable v.使能够
⑱lifelong adj.终身的
首先,在网上聊天并不能替代面对面的接触——图像真的无法取代现实生活中的微笑或拥抱。根据育儿专家丹尼斯·丹尼尔斯的说法,通过屏幕进行交流会让孩子们更难集中注意力或向他人表达善意。众所周知,重要的社交技能是通过与他人的直接接触而培养出来的。正是这些技能使我们能够发展终生的友谊。
Secondly,the Internet can make people self-centred⑲—not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves.For example,instead of⑳ having proper conversations with their friends,some people are only concerned with㉑ their online popularity㉒—How many “likes” did I get? How many followers㉓ do I have?—though we know that the number of “likes” or followers cannot compare㉔ to having long-term㉕ and rewarding㉖ friendships.In addition㉗,a lot of the content㉘ posted㉙ on social media is shallow㉚ or trivial㉛.Posts about funny cat images do not necessarily㉜ help form meaningful㉝ relationships㉞.
该句中的self-centred作宾语people的补足语。not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves中含有not...but...意为“不是……而是……”。
⑲self-centred adj.以自我为中心的
⑳instead of而不是,代替
㉑be concerned with关心……
㉒popularity n.流行;普及
㉓follower n.追随者
㉔compare v.比较
㉕long-term adj.长期的
㉖rewarding /rI'wɔːdIŋ/adj.有益的;有意义的
㉗in addition除此之外
㉘content /'kɒntent/n.内容
㉙post v.发帖 n.帖子
㉚shallow /'ʃæləʊ/adj.浅薄的,肤浅的
㉛trivial /'trIviəl/adj.微不足道的;没有什么价值的
㉜not necessarily不见得,未必
㉝meaningful adj.有意义的,意味深长的
㉞relationship n.关系,人际关系
其次,互联网会使人们变得以自我为中心——只关注自己,不关注任何人或事。例如,一些人不再和朋友好好地交谈了,他们只关心自己网上的人气——我得了多少个“赞”?我有多少粉丝?——尽管我们知道“赞”或粉丝的数量无法与拥有长期且有益的友谊相比。此外,社交媒体上发布的很多内容都是肤浅或琐碎的。发布有趣的猫咪图片并不一定有助于建立有意义的关系。
Thirdly,online relationships may not be what they appear to
be㉟.Friendships are built on the basis㊱ of trust㊲,and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting to are being honest㊳ about who they are.Because of this,going online can be particularly㊴ dangerous for people who are easily influenced㊵ or too trusting.
are built是被动语态;with结构是伴随状语;sure后的that引导宾语从句;who引导宾语从句,作介词about的宾语。
㉟appear to be好像是,仿佛
㊱basis /'beIsIs/n.基础;基点
㊲trust n.& vt.信任,信赖
㊳honest adj.诚实的,可靠的
㊴particularly adv.特别
㊵influence v. & n.影响
第三,网络关系可能不像表面上看起来的那样。友谊是建立在信任的基础上的,通过在线交流,你绝不能百分之百地确定与你交谈的人是否以诚相待。因此,对于那些容易受影响或过于信任别人的人来说,上网可能是特别危险的。
In my opinion,friends should focus㊶ more on face-to-face communication,and less on online communication.This is the best way to maintain㊷ healthy relationships.
㊶focus /'fəʊkəs/vi.& vt.集中(注意力) n.焦点
㊷maintain /meIn'teIn/vt.维持;保持
在我看来,朋友应该更多地关注面对面的交流,而不是在线交流。这是保持健康关系的最好方法。
Cathy's Blog:
The Internet Helps Friendships
The Internet can help develop friendships in many ways.
Firstly, the Internet makes communication much more convenient①.You can stay in touch② with friends no matter where③ you are or what you are doing. Using a smartphone, a tablet④ or a computer, you can be in contact at home and also when you are on the move.
no matter where you are or what you are doing是让步状语从句。
①convenient adj.方便的
②stay in touch保持联系
③no matter where无论在哪里
④tablet/'tæblIt/n.平板电脑;药片;碑,牌
凯茜的微博:
网络有助于友谊
互联网可以在很多方面帮助发展友谊。
首先,互联网使交流更加方便。无论你在哪里,又或者在做什么,你都可以和朋友们保持联系。使用智能手机,平板或电脑,你可以在家里和在移动的时候保持联系。
Secondly, the Internet has also made communication more
fun⑤.Traditional⑥ ways of communicating, like letters and phone calls, can be limiting⑦ and take time. However, you can share photos, videos, news stories and websites⑧ with your friends online. You can give a brief⑨ response⑩ to a message with an emoji⑪ or a picture. There are so many online tools⑫ you can use to be creative⑬!
⑤fun adj.有趣的
⑥traditional adj.传统的
⑦limiting /'lImItIŋ/adj.局限的,限制性的
⑧website n.网站
⑨brief /briːf/adj.简洁的,简明的
⑩response n.回答,回应
⑪emoji/I'məʊdʒi/n.表情符号
⑫tool n.工具
⑬creative /kri'eItIv/adj.创造性的,创作的
其次,互联网也使交流变得更加有趣。传统的通信方式,如信件和电话,可能会受到限制,而且需要时间。然而,你可以和你的朋友在网上分享照片、视频、新闻故事和网站。你可以用表情符号或图片信息做出简短的回应。想来点儿创意,网上有这么多的在线工具供你使用!
Thirdly, online communication can actually⑭ bring people closer to each other.Nowadays⑮, your friends are just a click⑯ away. Whenever someone needs help,friends from all over the world can immediately⑰ provide⑱ useful suggestions⑲ or information. This makes friends feel loved and cared for. To me, this is a very thought-provoking⑳ argument, as it points out㉑ the benefits㉒ of online friendships.As Eileen Kennedy-Moore, an authority㉓ on the subject, points out, online friends “fill holes real-life friends can't”.
whenever引导让步状语从句。
第一个as意为“因为”,第二个as意为“正如”;an authority on the subject是Eileen Kennedy-Moore的同位语。
⑭actually adv.实际上,事实上
⑮nowadays adv.现在,当今,时下
⑯click n.单击;咔嗒声
⑰immediately adv.立即,马上
⑱provide v.提供,供应
⑲suggestion n.建议
⑳thought-provoking adj.发人深省的,令人深思的
㉑point out指出
㉒benefit n.利益,实惠,福利
㉓authority /ɔː'θɒrəti/n.权威人士;专家
第三,在线交流实际上可以使人们彼此更接近。现在,你的朋友就在弹指间。每当有人需要帮助,来自世界各地的朋友可以立即提供有用的建议或信息。这使朋友们感到被爱和关心。对我来说,这是一个非常发人深省的论点,因为它指出了线上友谊的优势。就像这一领域的权威人士艾琳·肯尼迪-摩尔所指出的一样,网络朋友“填补了现实生活中的朋友无法填补的空白”。
Finally, I believe the Internet brings people closer together and makes communication with friends more convenient and interesting.
最后,我相信互联网使人们更加紧密地联系在一起,与朋友的交流也更加方便和有趣。

A
Kim Stemple found herself in a Boston hospital being treated for one of several diseases she had been identified with. The normally high-spirited Stemple was naturally getting very depressed. And then a friend who had just finished a half marathon gave her a medal and hoped it would give a positive message. Before she got too sick to exercise, Stemple had been a marathon runner, an experience she'd always miss.
After Stemple hung the medal above her hospital bed, other patients said they wanted medals too. That got Stemple thinking, “A medal can act as a kind of pick-me-up.” And so was born her charity—We Finish Together, which gathers medals from strangers in different fields—runners, dancers, swimmers, and even spelling bee winners—and donates them to sorts of people in need. Receivers have included hospital patients and residents of homeless shelters. Part of the process involves the donor writing a personalized note. “This gives them a connection to someone,” says Stemple.
Can a simple medal really make a difference? “Yes,” says Joan Musarra. “I opened my package containing a new medal and a note of positive, warm thoughts. I was amazed,” she wrote to Stemple. “At that moment, I was sitting on my couch breathing through an oxygen cannula (插管). It seemed that someone was holding my hand.”
“I had the privilege of meeting Kim when in Washington, D.C.for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. We chatted about life, sharing stories and of course we talked about her organization,” says Keri, a runner. “Kim talks little about herself and doesn't want the organization or stories to be about her, but rather, about all the wonderful people involved.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。金姆·斯坦普尔之前是一名马拉松运动员,生病后得到朋友赠送的奖牌,并受此启发成立了一个名为“We Finish Together”的慈善机构,此机构通过收集并赠送奖牌的方式,激励和帮助了很多身处逆境的人。

For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship.Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults.Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格).Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy.In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship.Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend's behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior.Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy.But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age.Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules.That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are.When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying.What's making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”).When your child shares or shows empathy toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel.It's also important to be mindful of how your child's personality affects playtime.Kids are easy to get angry when they're sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they're refreshed.
