Is It Wise To Make Friends Online?

Withthe fast development of online communication tools and online chatting tools,an increasing number of people are inclined to make friends online. However, isit wise to make friends online? People from different backgrounds and cultureshave divergent views concerning this issue.

隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)通信工具和在線聊天工具的快速發(fā)展，越來越多的人傾向于在網(wǎng)上交友。然而，在網(wǎng)上交朋友是明智的嗎？來自不同背景和文化的人們對(duì)這一問題有不同的看法。

Forone thing, those who have already benefited from practicing it sing high praiseof it. They claim that making friends online has many advantages compared tocommunicate with each other in face to face. For instance, making friendsonline can communicate with our friends at any time to strengthen ourrelationship and save a lot social resources. And we can keep in touch with ourfriends when we have no time to visit them in person. They also point out thatmaking friends online provides a good chance for us to communicate with peoplefrom different social backgrounds and cultures. In other words, making friendsonline can broaden our horizon and widen our personal relationships. Inaddition, it also makes contribution to narrow our gap in area and culture.

一方面，那些已經(jīng)受益于網(wǎng)上交友的人是贊成的。他們說網(wǎng)上交友有比彼此面對(duì)面交流更有優(yōu)勢。例如，網(wǎng)上交友可以隨時(shí)與我們的朋友交流來加強(qiáng)我們的關(guān)系，節(jié)約社會(huì)資源。在我們沒有時(shí)間見面時(shí)，我們可以與我們的朋友保持聯(lián)系。他們還指出，網(wǎng)上交朋友為我們提供了一個(gè)與不同的社會(huì)背景和文化的人交流的好機(jī)會(huì)。換句話說，網(wǎng)上交友可以拓寬我們的視野，拓寬我們的個(gè)人關(guān)系網(wǎng)。而且，這也為縮小我們在地域、文化方面的差距作貢獻(xiàn)。

However,for another, other people hold opposite views towards this issue. They arguethat it is dangerous to make friends online. They cite many examples thatpeople cheated by online friends. And they figure outthat sometimes it will cause some misunderstanding in culture because someonline friends tell lies and provide wrong information.

然而，另一方面，其他人對(duì)這個(gè)問題持有相反的觀點(diǎn)。他們認(rèn)為在網(wǎng)上交朋友是很危險(xiǎn)的。他們舉出很多被網(wǎng)友欺騙的例子。他們指出有時(shí)會(huì)引起一些文化上的誤解，因?yàn)橐恍┚W(wǎng)上的朋友會(huì)說謊并提供錯(cuò)誤的信息。

Inmy point of view, I am inclined to favor the former though we should be carefulwhen making friends online. To put it in a nutshell, it is wise to make friendsonline.

在我看來，我傾向于同意前者，但在網(wǎng)上交友的時(shí)候我們是應(yīng)該小心。簡而言之，在網(wǎng)上交朋友是明智的。
