Cyberlove

① Thanks to the late 20th century technology,

Maria

of Denmark

and

Martijin of

Holland met

on

a

chatline.

For

months

they've

talked

and

sent

letters

to

each

other

with

the

help

of

their

computers as they

found themselves falling head over heels in love. It was then that

they

decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world. It was not easy to arrange as the

young

man

and

his

lady

were

separated

by

700

very

real

kilometers,

but

the

date

was

a

success

and Maria and Martijn have been living together happily

ever since

. They've created a home

page

to

let

the

world

know

how

they've

found

happiness

via

the

Internet

and

introduce

couples

who've met

under similar circumstances.

②

Throughout

history

men

and

women

had

used

a

variety

of

means

to

find

each

other.

Internet

romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural way for

the

90's

to meet

potential mates.

③ Romances formed on the internet

follow a characteristic script.

The development of

emotional

intimacy

is

a

long

process,

sometimes

taking

several

months.

at

first

byte

is

rare

although

there

are

examples.

(1)

The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat

rooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two

strangers perceive each other as a true friend.

Hearts open and an avalanche of e-mail crosses

cyberspace

carrying

literary

quality,

and

electronic

messages

are

even

enhanced

with

verses

and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romantic

inclinations resist? (2)

When you reach for the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the

stomach to look in the in-box for new mail - there's just no way to escape the fact - love has arrived.

④

How

does

a

cyber

r

omance

vary

from

a

real

life

romance?

Perhaps

one

significant

difference

is

that

communication

plays

such

a

large

part.

Words

that

convey

feelings

have

enormous

effect.

(3)

While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the internet we polish our intellect,

imagination

and

personality.

(4)

In

essence,

the

sequence

is

reversed

-

first

we

show

our

inner

beauty and only after it had won victory does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality

at the time of that first meeting in person.

⑤

It

is

a

popular

topic

in

cyberspace

to

debate

whether

or

not

true

love

can

develop

merely

on

an

intellectual

level

（智力方面，精神方面，即

精神恋爱

）

,

without

physical

attraction

or the

familiarity

of the other's appearance? (5)

To

put

it

another

way:

is

the

physical

appearance

of

the

man

or

woman

play

a

part

in

the

relationship

if,

through

the

exchange

of

thoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?

本部分重点及难点：

1. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed

by increasingly

self-revealing topics

, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive

each other as a true friend.

不管是通过电子邮件还是聊天室，最初是简单的交流，然后是越来越多

自我表露的话题

，过了一段时

间之后， 两个陌生人把彼此当成了真正的朋友。

perceive…as…把……看成

2. When you reach for the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach to look

in the in-box for new mail - there's just no way to escape the fact - love has arrived.

(1) reach for the mouse

伸手够鼠标

(2) in-box

收件箱

out-box

发件箱

(3) there's no way to do sth.

3. While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the internet we polish our

intellect, imagination and personality.

(1) while

表示前后对比，再如：

He is hot-tempered, while his twin sister is very gentle.

(2) polish

润色

(3)

句子的译文：现实中约会前我们打理自己的头发和服饰，而在互联网上，我们依靠智慧，想象力

和个人品格。

4. In essence, the sequence is reversed - first we show our inner beauty and only after it

had

won victory does the veil fall off the

physical

vehicle

of

that

personality at the

time

of that first meeting in person.

(1) only after…放在

and

< br>后面分句的句首，故第二分句倒装。

< br>介词短语或状语从句

句子倒装，例如：

< br>

Only in this way can you succeed.

Only when you have tried hard can you taste the flavor of success.

(2)

句子的译文：其实顺序是相反的：我们先展示了内在美，只有在内在美赢得胜利之后，第一次见

面，外在的东西才展露出来。

5. To put it another way: is the physical appearance of the man or woman play a part in the

relationship if, through the exchange of thoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?

(1) put: state, express

表达，表述

a well-put sentence

措辞严谨的句子

(2) play a part / role in sth.

在……起作用

(3) through the exchange of thoughts and feelings

通过思想感情的交流

⑥ (6)

Many say it is against the nature of love to be

deprived of

the sense of sight, the look, the

movement, and the body language being present.

(7)

There are those, of course, who favor Internet

relationships claiming that the

intensity

of the emotional relationship that develops in such a way is

superior to the mere stirring of the flesh.

⑦

Whatever

the

opinion may

be

on

cyber

love

-

it

must

be

said

in

favor of

the

internet

that

it puts people

in touch with

those who they

otherwise

would never have met. I would never

have

suspected

that

the

first

person

I

met

by

e-mail

would

be

a

German

chimney

sweeper,

with

whom, after a year of correspondence,

albeit

not romantic, a common interest still exists.

⑧

It

is

silly

to perceive

the Net

as

a

demon,

when

we

determine

how

we

meet

its

challenges.

While

there are

those who can

use the

Net

to

their

advantage

extracting

useful

information,

there

are

those

who

become

addicts

losing

common

sense,

hopping

from

chat

room

to

chat

room,

writing piles of e-mails full of lies to chosen victims, and whose virtual reality, the

flirtations, become part of their everyday lives, as if a disease. One thing is true - the

Net is very

addictive

. According to the confession of a multiple

substance addict

, it was

easier to give up cocaine than the

IRC

（

short for Internet Relay Chat

网上实时聊天）

.

⑨

In

any case, keep

your

eyes

open off

-line

as

well.

Turn

off

the

machine

and

go

to

a

dance

or

a

club,

because

most

women

still

expect

to

be

courted

in

a

real,

old-fashioned,

and

romantic

way.
