Jess: Right, Tom, tell me, what three things could you not live without?
傑西:好,湯姆,哪三樣東西是你生活中必不可少的?
Tom: Well, I guess you say me playing with my new toy just now. It's my iPod touch and it isfantastic. I often take long bus journeys at the weekend and on this little electronic storagemachine with screen I can watch a movie and that's just ... makes bus journeys fly by. It alsohas wireless internet so I can carry it around and in a coffee shop I can check my e-mail and ithas the added function of being able to play music, although I don't listen to music much.That's one. My iPod touch is with me all the time. It's kind of connected to my number 2.Number 2 is the internet. I couldn't live without the internet. I'm online every day — readingnewpapers, checking out information about things I want to do and see that day. Keeping intouch with family and friends, although I don't do that as much as they would like. Theinternet is such a huge part of my life. I can't imagine what it was like ten or fifteen years ago,when nobody was online. Number three, I suppose is the sun, which sounds a bit facile becauseeverything on the whole planet requires the sun, but for me it's not so much about thenutrition that plants and animals derive from the sun. It's just being able to lie and relax inthe soft warmth, tanning by the pool letting my mind empty and clear. Those are my three.How about you?
湯姆:嗯,你看到我現在正在玩我的新玩具吧。這是iPod touch,非常棒。我週末經常要坐長時間的公交車,有這個帶有螢幕的小型電子儲存裝置,我就可以在公交車上看電影,這樣時間就過得很快。而且這上面還有無線網路,我可以隨身攜帶,可以在咖啡店檢查***,iPod touch還有一個附加功能,可以用它聽音樂,不過我不太常聽音樂。這是其中一樣東西,我隨時都要帶著我的iPod touch。其實它和我第二樣必需品有點兒聯絡。第二個就是網際網路。沒有網路我沒法生活。我每天都要上網,上網看新聞,瞭解我當天想做的事情的相關資訊。還有用網路和家人以及朋友保持聯絡,不過我不像他們聯絡的那麼頻繁。網際網路在我生活中佔據很重要的部分。我無法想象十年或十五年前那種沒有網路的生活。我想第三樣不可或缺的應該是陽光,這聽起來可能像是隨口說的答案,因為這個星球上的一切都需要陽光,不過對我來說,我需要的不僅僅是動植物從太陽那裡得到的營養。還有可以在溫暖的陽光下,躺在泳池旁邊晒太陽,什麼都不想,只是休息。這就是我必不可少的三樣東西。你呢?
Jess: Well, I have to agree with your second one, definitely the Internet is one thing couldn'tlive without either, for the same reasons you mentioned, really, just to stay in touch withpeople for things like reading the news, checking my e-mail, finding phone numbers, gettinginformation. I really couldn't live without it. The second thing would be my family. I couldn'tlive without them. I think since I've moved away from Britain and I don't live close to them,and I don't see them regularly anymore, I've grown to love them even more. Kind of you don'trealize what you've until it's gone, and that was true with my family. I really miss them all thetime, and I love going back to see them, so they're my number two, and my number threewould be music. Music's a huge part of my life and I think I remember things by what I waslistening to at the time. I'll remember periods of my life by what's songs I was listening to orwhat album i bought, so for me my memories are very much brought back to me by music, sothose are my three things: the Internet, my family, and music.
傑西:嗯,我同意你說的第二樣,網際網路絕對是我必不可少的,我的理由和你的一樣,要和朋友們保持聯絡,瀏覽新聞,檢查***,找電話號碼,獲取資訊。沒有網路我真的無法生活。第二樣是我的家人。沒有他們我也沒法生活。我離開英國以後,我住得離他們很遠,我不能像以前那樣經常和他們見面,而我卻更愛他們了。就好像你在失去某樣東西前沒有意識到它的珍貴一樣,我和家人的感情就是這樣。我真的很想念和他們在一起的時光,我想回去看看他們,所以家人是我不可或缺的,第三樣是音樂。音樂在我生活中佔據了重要的部分,我通過我當時聽的音樂來記憶。我會通過我當時聽的音樂或我當時買的專輯來記住生命中的那段時光,對我來說音樂會幫我找回以前的記憶,讓我回憶起以前的事情,所以我必不可少的三樣東西是:網際網路、家人和音樂。

Tom: Jess, usually when I see you, you're sitting at the computer checking your e-mail. Howmany times a day do you check it?
湯姆:傑西,我每次看到你,你都坐在電腦前檢查***。你通常多久檢查一次郵件?
Jess: I honestly don't count, but many, many times. Definitely more than twenty times a day.It's not really necessary. It's not like I have millions of e-mails coming into my account everyday, but I'm very impatient and I hate waiting for responses or waiting for something that I'mexpecting so I'll check my e-mail so that I can receive it as soon as it's sent. How about you?Do you check your e-mails often?
傑西:說實話,我沒有算過,不過我一天要檢查好多次。一天絕對超過20次。其實真的沒有必要這麼做。我並不是每天都會收到無數封郵件,而是我非常沒耐心,我討厭等待別人回覆郵件,討厭那種等待所期待事情的感覺,所以我希望我檢查郵箱時能馬上收到對方的回信。你呢?你經常檢查郵件嗎?
Tom: I suppose I check once a day, and if I have any mail, it will be one or two weeks before Ireply to it. I'm really bad at keeping in touch. I've got accounts at facebook and my space andhi5, all these social networking sites, but I almost never log on .... I got a message the otherday, a friend telling me, I'm a boring facebooker. It's official because I haven't updated myprofile in so long.
湯姆:我大概一天檢查一次,如果我有郵件,那我可能會在一兩週後才會回覆。我在保持聯絡上做得不好。我有臉譜網賬號、我的空間的賬號,也有hi5的賬號,這些社交網站的賬號我都有,可是我幾乎從來沒有登陸過,那天我收到了一個朋友的資訊,朋友說我是個無聊的臉譜網使用者。這是一條官方資訊,因為我已經很久沒有更新過臉譜網上的簡介了。
Jess: Why don't you? Is it that you haven't got enough time?
傑西:為什麼呢?因為你沒時間嗎?
Tom: I have got so much free time. I think it's just because I'm very lazy. I take photos. Imeet people. I do things. I just don't feel the need to tell everyone about it at the end of theday. My family have kind of gotten used to it now. They know that I'll get in contact they'lllikely to see me in the next few months, or I'll get in contact if there's a birthday or a baby, butapart from that, I really don't keep in touch very well.
湯姆:我有很多空閒時間。我想是因為我太懶了。我也會拍照片,和朋友們見面。我也會做各種各樣的事。我只是覺得沒有必要把這些告訴所有人。我的家人現在已經習慣我這個樣子了。如果他們幾個月以後來看我,他們知道我會聯絡,或者如果有人過生日或是有人生孩子,我也會聯絡他們,不過除此之外,我不太和別人保持聯絡。
Jess: Apart from e-mail, neither do I. I did join Facebook a couple of years ago when all of myfriends did and everyone was sending me links to join, and I created my profile, but to behonest, it's too much for me to have more than one thing to check that many times a day, sousually I stick to e-mail for communication. Yes, I do check it a lot, but I think if I startedchecking Facebook as regularly, I wouldn't have time to do the things I need to every day.
傑西:除了***以外,我也不太和別人聯絡。我幾年前註冊了臉譜網,當時我所有朋友都註冊了臉譜網賬號,他們邀請我一起用臉譜網,我就建立了我的簡介,不過說實話,我實在無法每天檢查好幾種社交工具,所以通常我只會堅持用電郵和別人交流。我的確每天要檢查好幾次,不過我想如果我開始規律性地檢視臉譜網,那我就沒有太多時間去做我每天要做的事情了。
