VOA常速英语:Residents of One of the World’s Most Wired Countries Want a Digital Free Zone

In this remote Icelandic Nature Reserve, there is little to no mobile phone service.A local park ranger has to climb a mountain to make a phone call and he’s not always successful.Phone is just receiving one bar, not enough for a phone call.Maybe the clouds are interfering a little bit or something.
这个偏远的冰岛自然保护区，几乎没有手机服务。当地的公园管理员要打电话就必须爬上山，但也经常打不通。只接收到了一格信号，打不出去电话。也许是云层干扰了信号。

But Internet service could soon reach the isolated reserve, a possibility that has most hikers, parkrangers and summer residents worried.People have had a difficult time being disconnected from the Internet.But I think most people enjoy the fact that they’re disconnected.They feel a difference when they’re here.
互联网服务很快就会到达这个与世隔绝的保护区了。但大多数徒步旅行者、公园管理员和夏季居民都对此感到担忧。人们很难脱离网络。但我认为大多数人会喜欢他们断线的事实。他们会在这里感受到不一样的东西。

The area has long resisted cell towers, but commercial initiatives could push the reserve across the digital divide.If there was internet would it be hard to resist.
长期以来，该地区一直抵制手机发射塔，但商业举措可能会推动该保护区跨越数字鸿沟。如果有互联网，人们就很难抗拒它。

Of course people would be hanging with their phones in their hands, carrying big battery packs,checking map which is you should have paperwork in anyways.There are no roads leading to the reserve. It’s accessible only by boat,and while some welcomed the proposed the free digital zone,others warned that restricting access to cellular services could prove reckless.Traveling without cell phone access has its charm of course,but there’s nothing romantic about lying on the ground with a broken thigh bone unable to call for help.
当然，人们都会拿着手机，充电宝，查看地图，无论如何都会有书面文件。没有路通往保护区。只有乘船才能到达保护区。一些人支持建立无网区，而其他人则警告说，限制使用手机服务可能会导致严重的后果。没有手机的旅行当然有其魅力。但因腿骨骨折躺在地上，却无法呼救是没有什么浪漫可言的。

And for some resident, not having cell access means vacationing without one family member.My teenage daughter refused to come this year.Leaving the 4G world and being without internet was too much for her.
对于一些居民来说，不能用手机意味着一个没有一位家庭成员的假期。我十几岁的女儿今年拒绝来和我们度假。离开4G世界，没有互联网对她来说是无法忍受的。

Iceland ranks number one on a UN Index comparing Nations information technology use,with roughly ninety eight percent of the population using the Internet.But residents will now have to decide whether they want to remain digitally connected at all times or stay off the grid while visiting some areas.
冰岛在联合国的一项国家信息技术使用的指数比较中排名第一，约有百分之九十八的人口使用互联网。但是，居民们必须现在决定，他们是想能够随时随地上网，还是在游览某些地区时不能上网。
