你是什么時(shí)候開始使用手機(jī)的

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論手機(jī)，
 
手機(jī)的功能很豐富，你是什么時(shí)候開始使用手機(jī)的
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: So I want to ask you about when is the right age to have stuff or to start doing stuff. What do you think is the right age to start having a phone?
 
請(qǐng)你談?wù)創(chuàng)碛心澄锘蜷_始做某事的合適年齡。你認(rèn)為幾歲可以有手機(jī)？
 
B: Oh, I think for security reasons, to, you know, keep the child safe, perhaps maybe about 11 or 12 when they start going around places without their parents.
 
哦，我認(rèn)為出于安全考慮，為了保證孩子的安全，也許11歲或12歲左右可以有手機(jī)，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)孩子開始在沒(méi)有家長(zhǎng)陪同的情況下四處走動(dòng)。
 
A: Yeah.
 
對(duì)。
 
B: It would be a way for me to contact my daughter. Even now, my daughter is only six and she doesn't have a phone, and that's far too young, I believe. However, she walks to school by herself and walks home by herself. And that stresses me out for her safety. So there are times where I wish I could phone her or text her, but she doesn't have a phone. And I do believe that six is far too young to have a phone.
 
手機(jī)應(yīng)該是我可以聯(lián)系我女兒的方法。不過(guò)現(xiàn)在我女兒只有6歲，她沒(méi)有手機(jī)，我認(rèn)為這個(gè)年齡用手機(jī)太早了。不過(guò)，她自己步行上學(xué)，晚上放學(xué)自己步行回家。我非常擔(dān)心她的安全。所以有時(shí)我希望我能給她打電話或是發(fā)信息，不過(guò)她沒(méi)有手機(jī)。我認(rèn)為六歲的孩子還太小，不能用手機(jī)。
 
A: A little bit too young.
 
是太小了。
 
B: Yes. So purely for security reasons, I think probably around 11 or 12.
 
對(duì)。單純從安全角度考慮，我認(rèn)為11歲或12歲左右比較合適。
 
A: How old were you when you first got your phone.
 
你幾歲開始用手機(jī)的？
 
B: Well, I'm an old person so, you know, people didn't have mobile phones. I was reaching the end of high school. I was, I think, 17 when I got my first mobile phone. And it was a big brick. But again, that was for, you know, I guess security reasons.
 
嗯，我年紀(jì)挺大的了，你知道 ，以前人們都沒(méi)有手機(jī)。我在高中畢業(yè)時(shí)才有了第一部手機(jī)。我想，我是在17歲時(shí)有的第一部手機(jī)。那時(shí)的手機(jī)和磚塊一樣。不過(guò)，那也是為了安全考慮。
 
A: Yeah.
 
嗯。
 
B: My parents got it for me. I was going out, you know, I started going out at night, going to concerts. And I was beginning to be allowed going into bars and things at 17, 18. So yeah, it was a good security thing. My parents were appreciative of being able to contact me.
 
我父母給我買了手機(jī)。當(dāng)時(shí)我開始在晚上外出，會(huì)去看音樂(lè)會(huì)。十七八歲的時(shí)候，我可以去酒吧了。所以，手機(jī)是安全保障。我父母可以用手機(jī)聯(lián)系到我。
 
A: Yeah.
 
對(duì)。
 
B: How about you? How old were you when you first got your mobile phone?
 
你呢？你多大有的第一部手機(jī)？
 
A: Oh goodness. I was about 12 or 13. I was really young.
 
我的天哪。我大概是12歲或13歲的時(shí)候。當(dāng)時(shí)我很小。
 
B: Okay.
 
好。
 
A: And I only got my first mobile phone or my first cellphone because my best friend who got the same one and I wanted to send like picture messages to her. It was back in the old days where you can send a photo, you can take photos.
 
因?yàn)槲易詈玫呐笥延辛耸謾C(jī)，我想給她傳彩信，所以我得到了一個(gè)和她一樣的手機(jī)。那個(gè)時(shí)候，手機(jī)可以傳圖片和拍照。
 
B: Picture messages.
 
圖片彩信。
 
A: Picture messages.
 
圖片彩信。
 
B: I couldn't even send picture messages. Mine was just texts, like pressing the same button over and over again.
 
我的手機(jī)都不能傳圖片彩信。只能發(fā)文字消息，要一直按同樣的按鍵。
 
A: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So I never really used it as like a way of security. I just used it to send really overpriced picture messages to my friend for absolutely no reason. It was such a waste. And to play Snake. Do you remember Snake?
 
哦，對(duì)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我從來(lái)沒(méi)把手機(jī)當(dāng)做安全保障。我只是用手機(jī)給朋友發(fā)非常貴的彩信，而且沒(méi)有什么理由。那簡(jiǎn)直是浪費(fèi)。當(dāng)時(shí)還玩貪吃蛇。你還記得貪吃蛇嗎？
 
B: Oh yeah, Snake.
 
哦對(duì)，貪吃蛇。
 
A: Like the little game that you could play on your phone.
 
手機(jī)上可以玩一些小游戲。
 
B: Yup, yup.
 
對(duì)，對(duì)。
 
A: Yeah. I didn't use it for a good use, I think. I just used it to waste time.
 
嗯。我想我沒(méi)有善用手機(jī)。我只是浪費(fèi)了時(shí)間。
 
B: Fair enough. Well, you're 12, you said, right?
 
情有可原。你剛說(shuō)你當(dāng)時(shí)只有12歲，對(duì)吧？
 
A: Twelve, thirteen, yeah.
 
12歲或13歲。
 
B: That sounds age appropriate, I think, age appropriate use.
 
我認(rèn)為聽(tīng)起來(lái)那與年齡相符。
 
A: Yeah. It's a good time to start wasting your time.
 
對(duì)。是開始浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的年齡。
 
B: Yeah.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: Get ahead to start wasting time.
 
開始浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。
 
B: Yeah.
 
嗯。
