　　Q&A today: The internet

　　今日问答：网络

　　We asked two teenagers from the USA about what they think of the internet. Here are their answers.

　　我们问了两个美国青少年他们对网络的看法。以下是他们的回答。

　　Question 1: How often do you use the internet, and what for?

　　你多久上网一次?为什么?

　　I use it every day. I have lots of friends who I write emails to, I chat, and I have my own blog on myspace.com. It's fantastic. If we didn't have the internet, life would be really boring, I think!

　　我每天都上网。我有很多朋友，我给他们写信，聊天，还有我自己的博客(myspace.com)。太棒了。如果我们没有互联网，我想生活会很无聊!

　　I use it a lot too. I have my own web page, and I use it to write about my hobbies and interests. And I love getting mail from other people. I also post videos quite often.

　　我也经常用它。我有自己的主页，我用它来写我的爱好和兴趣。我喜欢收到别人的邮件。我也经常发视频。

　　Question 2: If a friend asked you to recommend a really good website, which one would you recommend?

　　如果一个朋友叫你推荐一个好的网站，你会推荐哪个?

　　Agirlsworld.com! I like it because it gives girls advice on what to do in difficult situations, but it's also fun(there are cool games!) and there's some interesting reading stuff.

　　少女世界! 我喜欢是因为这个网站能在女孩们选择困难的情况下提供一些建议，是这个网站也很有趣(有一些很酷的游戏!)还有一些有趣的读物。

　　My own website! No, but seriously, if someone asked me that question, I wouldn't know what to say. I visit so many websites. There definitely isn't one website that I would recommend.

　　我的个人主页!不，开玩笑，但是真正有人问我这个问题的话，我不知道该说什么。我看过很多网站，没有哪一个网站我会推荐的!

　　Question 3: Do you ever listen to podcasts?

　　你听过播客吗?

　　Sure! And I sometimes send in my own files. I think it’s great that you can say what you think and other young people all over the world can listen to you.

　　当然!有时我会上传我自己的文件。我觉得你能说出自己的想法，世界各地的年轻人都能听到你说的，这是件很棒的事。

　　Listen to podcasts? No way. I don’t have the time. But even if I had more time, I wouldn’t bother with podcasts. Vodcasts maybe, but-no, I don’t have enough time!

　　听播客吗?不可能。我没有时间。但即使我有更多的时间，我也不会去看播客。可能是影像播客，但不，我没有那么多时间!
