S: That's true...we might actually be making more work for ourselves by this constant need to stay in touch.

G: If they allow cell phones on airplanes...we're going to have to hear even more hours of endless chatter.I heard that some trains have what are called "quiet cars" now. People in the quiet cars aren't allowed to talk on cell phones. I think that's an excellent idea! I wish there were more "quiet" places. I'd pay more to eat at a restaurant that banned cell phones.

Sue表示，無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻 stay in touch 保持聯(lián)系，無(wú)疑會(huì)讓自己的工作量增加。George也擔(dān)心，如果容許大家在飛機(jī)上打電話的話，就又得聽(tīng)別人沒(méi)完沒(méi)了的聊大天兒了。George說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在火車上有不讓接聽(tīng)電話的"quiet cars"安靜車廂，他希望有更多類似的公共場(chǎng)合，如果哪家餐館禁止顧客接聽(tīng)手機(jī)的話，提高價(jià)格他都沒(méi)有意見(jiàn)。

S: We really don't get a lot of quiet time these days. My brother recently went to a meditation center where he didn't speak for three days. He said after three days, he finally noticed how much noise there is everywhere.

G: I think being connected to the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year isn't healthy. We sometimes need to be alone in order to think.

S: And you can't think if it's noisy.

G: Many famous people discovered important things when they were just sitting silently by themselves...you know the story about Isaac Newton, right?

Sue說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在的生活實(shí)在嘈雜，她哥哥最近到一個(gè)meditation center 靜思冥想中心去，三天沒(méi)說(shuō)一句話，三天過(guò)后才突然間意識(shí)到周圍的環(huán)境是多么地嘈雜。George也覺(jué)得，一年365天，一天24小時(shí)隨時(shí)隨地 stay connected 跟別人保持聯(lián)絡(luò)其實(shí)是不利健康的，他還舉例說(shuō)，很多名人的重要發(fā)現(xiàn)都是在冥思苦想時(shí)發(fā)生，比如 Isaac Newton 牛頓。

S: Yep. He came up with the theory of gravity while sitting in a field and watching an apple fall from a tree.

G: He probably wouldn't have had time to think about gravity if he was talking on his cell phone. Anyway, I really hope they don't allow cell phones on planes. We need a few last places without cell phones!

S: All right, I can accept that. And besides, many airlines now allow you to use your laptop during the flight...if you really need to communicate, you can send an e-mail.

Sue說(shuō)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，如果牛頓當(dāng)時(shí)正忙著講手機(jī)的話，就不會(huì) came up with the theory of gravity 了。 to come up with 意思是想到，發(fā)現(xiàn)，the theory of gravity 意思是萬(wàn)有引力的理論。Sue 最后說(shuō)，其實(shí)，現(xiàn)在很多航空公司都已經(jīng)允許乘客使用 laptop手提電腦了，所以如果在飛行期間需要跟別人聯(lián)系，發(fā)電子郵件就可以了。
