Internet: Far or Near 网络拉近还是疏远距离

There is no doubt that Internet has changed our life greatly. It makes the world smaller. People can get to know the world in a short time and make friends from all over the world. While on the other hand, the much attention on the Internet isolates the distance and reduces face to face communication.
毫无疑问，互联网已经极大地改变了我们的生活。它把这个世界变得越来越小。人们可以在短时间内就了解整个世界，和来自世界各地的人们交朋友。而另一方面，对互联网的过度关注也疏远了人们之间的距离，减少了面对面的交流。

Many years ago, before the popularity of computer, people got to know the world by listening to the radio or reading newspaper. But nowadays, people can just read the instant news on the Internet and get the first-hand information immediately. The fast way to master information makes them feel keeping in touch with the world. The world seems so near to them.
许多年前，在电脑普及之前，人们通过听收音机或看报纸来了解世界。但是现在，人们可以在互联网上阅读即时新闻，还可以获得第一手信息。快速掌握信息的方式让他们觉得自己与整个世界保持着联系。似乎与世界靠得很近了。 

Internet is everywhere and it helps people to do a lot of things, such as making friends online, keeping in touch with their relatives, even to do business. As people rely on Internet so much, they pay much attention on the virtual world. The face to face communication is reduced, and the distance between people seems so far.
互联网无处不在，它可以帮助人们做很多事情，比如网上交朋友，跟亲戚朋友保持联系，甚至做生意。由于人们过于依赖互联网，他们对虚拟世界给予了很多的关注。而面对面的交流却减少了，人与人之间的距离看起来变得那么遥远。

We should use Internet properly and never lose ourselves in the virtual world.
我们应该用合理使用网络，永远不要让自己迷失在虚拟的世界中。
