Phubbers
I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality - "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love you."
The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to the relationship.
It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

低头族
我听过一个美丽的诗，由小说家Amy Cheung。只要稍加调整，就可以生动地描绘现实中人与人之间的疏离--“世界上的更远距离不是生与死。但是，当我站在你面前，你的眼睛转向你的智能手机，不知道我爱你。
智能手机已经大受欢迎，成为一种有毒的强制。它侵入了我们的生活，占据了我们所有的间隙时间。这是如此常见的智能手机上瘾者顾他们的手机，忽略一切。即使与朋友见面，他们也经常拔出手机，以便拍照，查看信息，甚至玩游戏。似乎与整个世界，他们实际上已经篡改了对话与危害的关系。
该是我们扔掉电话，抬起头来的时候了。珍惜身边的人，欣赏我们前方的美好风景。
