A 你用過社交網站嗎？
nǐ yòng guo shèjiāo wǎngzhàn ma?
Have you used social networking websites?
B 我都結婚了，用它幹嗎？
wǒ dōu jiéhūn le, yòng tā gànmá?
I'm already married. Why would I use one?
A 哎呀，是社交網站，不是相親網站。這可是人類網絡溝通的新潮流，最近可火了。大家都在討論呢。
āiyā, shì shèjiāo wǎngzhàn, bù shì xiāngqīn wǎngzhàn. zhè kěshì rénlèi wǎngluò gōutōng de xīn cháoliú, zuìjìn kě huǒ le. dàjiā dōu zài tǎolùn ne.
Oh, man! Social networking websites, not matchmaking websites. It's the new trend in human connections, and it's really popular lately. Everyone's talking about it.
B 我有自己的頭腦，幹嗎什麼火就做什麼？
wǒ yǒu zìjǐ de tóunǎo, gànmá shénme huǒ jiù zuò shénme?
I have my own mind. Why do I need to do whatever is popular?
A 我不是這個意思。我是說社交網站之所以火，是因為它符合大多數人的社交習慣。你可以選擇大眾化或者有針對性的網站來註冊、然後製作自己的主頁，讓大家來了解你。
wǒ bù shì zhège yìsi. wǒ shì shuō shèjiāo wǎngzhàn zhīsuǒyǐ huǒ, shì yīnwèi tā fúhé dàduōshù rén de shèjiāo xíguàn. nǐ kěyǐ xuǎnzé dàzhònghuà huòzhě yǒu zhēnduìxìng de wǎngzhàn lái zhùcè, ránhòu zhìzuò zìjǐ de zhǔyè, ràng dàjiā lái liǎojiě nǐ.
That's not what I mean. I mean the reason that social networking websites are popular is that they conform to most people's social communication habits. You can choose large-scale general websites or focused websites to register at, then customize your own page so that everyone can learn about you.
B 我才不要不認識的人來了解我呢。哎，你說，現在的人是不是腦子有問題？那麼喜歡透露自己的隱私。
wǒ cái bùyào bù rènshi de rén lái liǎojiě wǒ ne. āi, nǐ shuō, xiànzài de rén shì bu shì nǎozi yǒu wèntí? nàme xǐhuan tòulù zìjǐ de yǐnsī.
I don't want people I don't know to know about me. I mean, tell me, is there something wrong with people today? Everyone likes divulging their personal details.
A 其實也不都是不認識的人。現在用社交網站的人越來越多，很多人用這個網站是為了方便朋友間聯繫。而且還很有可能找到已經失去聯絡的朋友。我就在網上找到了好幾個小學同學。
qíshí yě bù dōu shì bù rènshi de rén. xiànzài yòng shèjiāo wǎngzhàn de rén yuèláiyuèduō, hěn duō rén yòng zhège wǎngzhàn shì wèile fāngbiàn péngyou jiān liánxì. érqiě hái hěn yǒu kěnéng zhǎodào yǐjīng shīqù liánluò de péngyou. wǒ jiù zài wǎngshàng zhǎodào le hǎojǐ ge xiǎoxué tóngxué.
They're not actually strangers. Nowadays more and more people are using social networking websites, so many people use them in order to conveniently stay in touch with friends. It's also quite possible to find friends you've lost contact with. I myself found quite a few primary school classmates online.
B 這有什麼了不起？好幾年前就有網上校友錄了。如果大家想聯繫，還怕找不到途徑？
zhè yǒu shénme liǎobuqǐ? hǎojǐnián qián jiù yǒu wǎngshàng xiàoyǒulù le. rúguǒ dàjiā xiǎng liánxì, hái pà zhǎobudào tújìng?
What's so great about that? There were sites for making friends online years ago. If everyone wants to get in touch, are they afraid they can't find a channel for it?
A 我說的只是社交網站的功能之一，其它的還有好多呢。比如你可以結交世界各地和自己志同道合的人。還可以展示、推廣自己的想法或者產品。總之，你會發現生活多了很多樂趣和驚喜。
wǒ shuō de zhǐshì shèjiāo wǎngzhàn de gōngnéng zhīyī, qítā de hái yǒu hǎo duō ne. bǐrú nǐ kěyǐ jiéjiāo shìjiè gèdì hé zìjǐ zhìtóngdàohé de rén. hái kěyǐ zhǎnshì, tuīguǎng zìjǐ de xiǎngfǎ huòzhě chǎnpǐn. zǒngzhī, nǐ huì fāxiàn shēnghuó duō le hěn duō lèqù hé jīngxǐ.
I was just saying one of the functions of social networking websites. There are a lot more. For example, you can find people with common interests from all over the world. You can also display and promote your own ideas or products. You'll find new interests and surprises in your life.
B 我可不這麼想。我覺得現在人與人之間的溝通過多，反而沒時間和自己交流了。
wǒ kě bù zhème xiǎng. wǒ juéde xiànzài rén yǔ rén zhījiān de gōutōng guòduō, fǎnér méi shíjiān hé zìjǐ jiāoliú le.
I really don't think so. I think nowadays interpersonal communication has gone too far, and there's no time to get in touch with oneself.
A 那要看你怎麼看了。我覺得和別人交流的過程也是一個瞭解自己的過程。
nà yào kàn nǐ zěnme kàn le. wǒ juéde hé biérén jiāoliú de guòchéng yě shì yī ge liǎojiě zìjǐ de guòchéng.
That depends on your view. I think the process of communication with others is also a process of understanding oneself.
B 算了，你別費口舌了。我對這個一點興趣也沒有。
suànle, nǐ bié fèi kǒushé le. wǒ duì zhège yīdiǎn xìngqù yě méiyǒu.
Forget it. Stop debating me. I am just not at all interested in this.
