留美老师带你每天说英文 第636期:人类对自己物品的依恋
台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
What remains to be seen today is how the nature of our relationship with our possessions will change with the rise of digital technologies. Many have forecast the demise of physical books and music, but for now, at least, this seems premature. Perhaps there will always be something uniquely satisfying about holding an object in our hands and calling it our own.
随着数字科技的兴起,我们与属于自己的东西之间关系的本质将会怎么改变,至今仍有待观察。许多人预测实体的书籍和音乐产品将会消失,但至少现在看来还言之过早。或许,能将实物握在手中,并宣称是我们自己的东西,这样的行为,对我们来说终究有种独特的满足感。
