As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, wearing a T-shirt and black trousers, a young boy with yellow hair holding a mobile phone is talking to his mother sitting on a sofa and reading a book. It’s my view that the drawing is to show us that the cell phone serves as a symbol of the Internet, both connecting people and isolating them from each other.

The metaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and mobile phones. On the one hand, there is no denying that cell phone is currently one of the most efficient media used for interpersonal communication. On the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to electronics to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues.

Hence, it is necessary for us to use mobile phones in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, electronic products are invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.

參考譯文

這幅漫畫(huà)描述的情景是，一名穿著T恤和黑色褲子的年輕男孩手里拿著手機(jī)，正在和他坐在沙發(fā)上讀書(shū)的媽媽聊天。我認(rèn)為這幅圖想告訴我們：手機(jī)作為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的一種象征，既連接了人們，又使他們彼此隔離。

這幅暗含隱喻且令人印象深刻的圖畫(huà)微妙地揭示了人與手機(jī)之間的雙重關(guān)系。一方面，不可否認(rèn)手機(jī)目前是用于人際交流最高效的媒介之一。另一方面，很多人承認(rèn)他們太沉迷于數(shù)碼產(chǎn)品而不愿與朋友和同事保持面對(duì)面接觸。

因此，我們很有必要以一種合理的方式使用手機(jī)，避免過(guò)度沉迷。畢竟，人們發(fā)明電子產(chǎn)品是為了連接你我，為我們的生活帶來(lái)便利，而不是設(shè)置障礙使人彼此疏遠(yuǎn)。
