【超级口语十分钟｜Technology and relationship between people 科技与人际

问题：Do science and technology improve the relationship between people? 高分回答： I would say they changed the relationship between people, but for better or worse, I don’t know. The good thing is that long distance communication has now been made possible. You can chat with your friends from the other side of the globe with the help of instant messengers like Facebook , and people canstay in contact with one another like never before. However, the downside is that as it becomes easier and easier to maintain relationships with more people over a long distance, we tend to overlook the importance ofbuilding strong and intimate relationships with people around us. Most of the time, we are just so busy textingon our phones or minding our own businesses that we ignored our parents, our neighbors, our coworkers, and so on. So as you can see, the effect of technology on people’s relationships is a really complex one. 语料积累 重点词汇 downside  n. 缺点 intimate  adj. 禁止 text  v. 发短信、发即时消息 高分表达 for better or worse 不论好坏、有好有坏 been made possible 使某事物成为可能 other side of the globe 地球的另一边 instant messenger 聊天软件 stay in contact 保持联系 like never before 前所未有（注意用法） overlook the importance of 忽略某事物的重要性 mind my own business 做我自己的事
