e.g.She’sobsessiveaboutpunctualityTranslationA4ReadA4Read为什么没有智能手机我也很快乐？以今天的标准来看，我的手机非常难用。这部长方形的电子产品小巧轻便，可以用它来接打电话和收发短信。手机上方还有一个手电筒，非常方便，它可以帮你找到自己的钥匙或者掉在电影院地上的东西。除此之外，我的手机就没有其他的功用了。对了，我的手机还有闹钟和计算器以及诸如此类的功能，但所有这些都无法与智能手机相比。人们总是跟我说智能手机的一大优势就在于“你可以用它做任何事情！”但是，上一次你看到别人用智能手机做“任何事情”是什么时候呢？好吧，我承认智能手机的确有非常多的功用，但一般来说，人们通常是用智能手机查看自己的社交网站、玩游戏，以及接收和回复电子邮件。我却很乐意在家里用笔记本电脑完成所有这些事情。TranslationA4ReadA4Read在我看来，智能手机最大的好处就是你可以随时随地畅游网络。请别误会我，我也是网上冲浪的爱好者（事实上，现在我正在通过互联网进行沟通），只是我不太明白一直在线有什么意义呢？我不记得上一次收到紧急到我需要立马查看的博客更新内容是什么时候了；我也从未想象过我的工作可以重要到我需要立马打开工作邮件。我想，如果事情真的很紧急，人们就会给我打电话而不是发电子邮件。而我所信赖的手机完全可以胜任这项工作。我认为智能手机最奇怪的影响之一就是人们对于地图和导航系统的痴迷。还有什么比时时刻刻都知道自己身在何处更无聊吗？！如果不多迷几次路，你怎么能知道某个地方的正确位置？如果总是依赖电子地图，你又怎么会无意间发现那些非常棒的地方呢？在百度地图上你无法享受从“这里”到“有美味蛋糕的隐秘咖啡店”的路程的快乐，也不会有从“这里”到“那个在傍晚夕阳下看起来很美的教堂边的池塘”的发现之旅。当然，有时我们的确需要他人的指点才能找到正确路线，但我觉得你可以时常求助现实生活中的人。A4Reada)Matchthewordstotheirdefinitions.urgentpeculiarobsessionhandyconstantly
