比賽演講稿范文：
Staying Connected Or Losing Connection?
Recently, I was walking in a park with a friend, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our talk. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and oops, I become invisible, absent from the conversation.
I’m wondering how strange it is that the telephone used to connect you to the absent, but now, it makes people who sitting next to you feel absent.
That’s the funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution, we stopped talking to another. It is that all the communications technology tools make me feel lonely.
Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction. You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore. Directory assistance is becoming increasingly automated.
I’m not a Luddite. I know that if I dial 110,I could get instant help in only 3 minutes from policeman whenever and wherever. What’s more, I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and E-mail account. Giving them up is an option. But as a matter of fact, they are great for what they are intended to do, it’s their unintended consequences that make me cringe.
The communications industry devoted to facilitating my anti-social instincts. So, I’m starting my own technology revolution: no more instant messaging with people who live near me; no more talking on the mobile in the presents of friends; no more letting the voice-mail pick up a call when I’m free.
Can you imagine that: if there is no one in the room to hear you exclaim: that’s miraculous! So, tell me what good is all this miraculous technology?
參考譯文：
保持聯(lián)系還是失去聯(lián)系?
前不久，與一個(gè)朋友在公園里散步，他的手機(jī)忽然響了，打斷了我們的談話(huà)，如此陽(yáng)光明媚的日子，我們愉快地談著話(huà)�？墒�，突然，我卻變成了被忽略的局外人，被摒棄在談話(huà)之外。
我于是在想這樣奇怪的一種現(xiàn)象：電話(huà)本用來(lái)聯(lián)系不在場(chǎng)的人，而現(xiàn)在，卻讓在你身邊的人感覺(jué)不在場(chǎng)似的。
就是如此讓人啼笑皆非的事發(fā)生在現(xiàn)今通信改革的過(guò)程中，我們不再互相交談，所有的讓人們?cè)鲞M(jìn)接觸的工具讓我們更孤單。
通信技術(shù)的進(jìn)步都給人類(lèi)互相之間的親密交流增設(shè)一道新障礙，甚至再也沒(méi)法打電話(huà)去詢(xún)問(wèn)別人的電話(huà)號(hào)碼，自動(dòng)化程度日益提高的電話(huà)號(hào)碼查詢(xún)系統(tǒng)能幫你搞定一切。
我不是反對(duì)自動(dòng)化的人，我知道如果我有麻煩撥打110，我可以在任何時(shí)候任何地方在3分鐘之內(nèi)得到警方的幫助。而且，我有一部手機(jī)，一張ATM卡，一部語(yǔ)言郵件系統(tǒng)，一個(gè)電子郵件賬號(hào)，放棄他們可不是我要的。而實(shí)際上，就人們希望他們做的事，他們做得很好，是那些副作用讓我們困惑。
竭誠(chéng)幫助人們更好地互相聯(lián)系的電信事業(yè)，卻助長(zhǎng)了我疏于交際的天性。為此，我開(kāi)始自己的革命，對(duì)在我附近的人，不使用短信息;不在朋友在場(chǎng)時(shí)用手機(jī)講話(huà);當(dāng)我有空時(shí)不用語(yǔ)音系統(tǒng)接電話(huà)。
你能想象，倘若你獨(dú)自一人驚嘆：“這些太神氣了!”而無(wú)人呼應(yīng)，那又有什么樂(lè)趣呢?
