主题：【每日互动话题】电子时代的你，多久没有亲手写信了？（第695期）

How long haven’t you written a letter when involved in the E-era? In my memories, may be I only wrote four letters , these were written in high school and one was in university which was to my parents. From then on , I have not written a letter any more.

在网络时代，你有多久没有写信了？在我的记忆中，我好像就写了四封信，其中三封是在高中时候写的，有一封是在大学时候给我的爸妈的。从那时候起，就再也没写过信。

I do not know when to begin, relationship between people are communicated by a wire. that unseen wire become a backbone of people. when people are enjoy modern accomplishments, they also feel lonely. It is more convenient for us to communicate, but human interest is less and less.

我不知道从什么时候起，人与人之间的关系是靠着一根电线连接的，这根电线成了人们的主心骨，人们在享受现代化成果的同时，也感受着孤独。交流是越来越方便了，但是人情味越来越淡了

In the E-Era times, more and more communication tools such as QQ,MSN, e-mail telephone short message reduce the frequency of writing letter. Ant method mention above is more convenient than “ a letter from apart” or “postman”. letter written by hand  may be a pronoun of lag.

在网络时代，越来越多的交流工具减少了写信的频率，如QQ，SMN,电话，短信，邮件等。其中的任何一种方法都要比鸿雁传书或是绿衣使者快的多，手写的书信似乎成了落后的代名词。

Is it meaningful for written letter in modern society which have been existing for several millenniums?
在现代化的今天，已经存在有几千年历史的手写书信还有意义么？

In my opinion, it is meaningful. Although it is not as quick as Email or others, when we open the letter, faint scent of ink greet me , my heart is warm. Lately , when I talked with my confidant, she said to me letters I wrote to her in high school still in her drawer. When I heard this ,I was shocked ,not for others ,just for her heavy emotion. I feel lucky, for I can possess such feeling.

我的观点是有意义的，虽然它不像其他的那些那么快，但是当我们打开信时，闻到的那种墨香味时，心都是暖暖的。前不久，我和我的一个闺密聊天，她说我高中时候给她写的信都依然还在她的抽屉里，我被感动了，不为别的，仅仅是因为她的那份感情的厚重，我很幸运，可以拥有这种感情。

好久好久没有写信了，都忘记了鸿雁传书的味道，也无法感受收信时的兴奋了，那种期盼也变成了奢望。
It is a long time not to write a letter,and I have forgotten the feeling of sending a letter.
I can not feel the excitement of receiving a letter and it is a luxury thing to heard from someone.

电子时代，我们在节日里再也收不到充满着纸香和墨香的贺卡，再也看不见发卡人独一无二的字迹，也就无法真实地感受到发卡人那温馨的问候。
In the E-era, we can not receive those paper greeting cards any longer which filled with ink. we can not see the sender's unique handwriting and are unable to feel the sender's warm greetings.

电子时代，我们那一本本应该记载成长历程的、等到老年时借以聊以慰藉的日本记从此尘封于某个角落里，取而代之的是网络的“博客”、“空间”。
In the E-era, our diary books, which recorded our growth process and will comfort ourselves when we getting old, are replaced by the "blog" and "space".

电子时代，我们变得越来越懒惰。我们逛书店、看书看报的习惯一去不返复；取而代之的是琳琅满目的电子书、报。
In the E-era, we become more and more lazy. we have abondand the habit of reading newspapers and travelling book stores. We are surrounded by all kinds of e-books.

电子时代，人与人之间的距离似乎越来越近，其实越来越远了。
In the E-era, the distance between people appears to be getting close, in fact, it is farther and farther.

电子时代，让我们获取信息更快，相互沟通更快，也使我们眼睛的视力下降得更快；你使我们疲劳得更快.
In the E-era,we obtain information faster, communicate with each other faster, at the same time our eyes vision decreased faster and tired faster.

电子产品的普及，人们写字的机会越来越少了，我们正在见证手写字的消亡。
With the popularity of electronic products, people have fewer opportunities to write.We are witnessing the death of handwriting.

i've not got sofa

how long haven't you written a letter when involved in the E-are? for this question , maybe many people really have a long time haven't write letters , or someone have never write letters. but to me it's not a long time.
在电子时代，多久没有亲手写信了？关于这个问题，也许很多人的确有很久没有写过信了，或许有些人从来就没有写过信。但对我而言却没有那么久。
Because I was born in countryside , and grown up at countryside . everybody knows countryside is not like cities , the information technology is not as developed as cities . we have not computers and mobiles . so if we want to keep in touch with friends who far away from us we had to keep writing to each other.
因为我出生在农村，在农村长大。大家都知道，农村跟城市里不一样，信息技术没有城市那么发达。我们没有电脑，没有手机，所以如果我们想要和远方的朋友保持联系的话就要经常给对方写信。
When I still at high school , I always wrote to my friends . because it’s too expensive to give someone a ring . I like written , I think write to friend is very funny, even though sending a letter need few days , but I willing to wait.
当在还读高中的时候，我总是写信给我的朋友，因为打电话太贵了。我喜欢写信，我觉得写信给朋友们很有趣，虽然寄信需要好几天，但是我愿意等。
it happened one year ago , even though I haven’t written letter for one year , but I am still remember what I had wrote to my friends .
这是在一年前的事了，虽然我有一年没写信了，但我仍然记得给我朋友们写了些什么。

how long haven't you written a letter when involved in E-era？
frankly speaking，i even don't know for how long i haven't written a letter ，i just know it is really long long ago
this topic reminded me of my primary school memory ，ah...how nice and unforgettable it meant to me
we didn't live together with our grandma when we were pupils
we lived in the city where the workplace for our parents
so we seldom had the chance to visit grandma frequently and regularly owing to our course in school
but the things we never forgot is to make some beautiful greeting cards by hands to give our grandma，once dad visited grandma
even though the cards we made was so childish ，when grandma received them，dad told us he could find tears in her eyes ，and happiness in her face
she would be pleased with only small cards we made for her
because we all know the cards contains our love to her
what made us moved more is she collected all the cards we made for her ，once our school term finished ，when we visited her，she would show them to us happily
we all know grandma gave all her emotion and love to the cards，she didn't receive so many education，the only way for her to express herself isn't so flattery words，she could only show her love and gratification with her smile and happy tears
now grandma has left for us for years ,but i still missed her so much ,i can't forget her love ,her smile and her care in my lifetime
a small card made by hands can give the people you love a sense of happiness ,even it reflect a sense of responsibility
i once read the home letter my dad gave to my mum when they were apart，i was moved once again
the words in his letter isn't so flattery ，but we still can feel the warm love exist in their heart
i chatted with mum about that letter
she told me once she was apart with us owing to work，when she felt lonely and missed home，she would take out the letter dad gave her，it really gave her encouragement and a ray of hope
she knew the family she cares and loves is fine，sometimes for a family member，it is gratitude enough for them to know the health and safe of their family
a home letter carries all the good hopes and sincere wishes to the recipient
but with the high paced of life ，people seldom write home letters or make cards for the people they love
with the progress of the society，home letter really gradually disappeared from our life
there are a lot of more convenient communication tools for us to choose
we may find a lot of excuses for our actions
we are too busy with work，such a kind of communication way is out of date ，and so on so forth
but my dear friends，no matter how speedy the society innovate ，how busy you are，try to spare your time sometimes to write a letter to the person you care about，try to make a card or something else meaningful by hands
i think it really can shorten the distance among people
and for you,you still can feel another different kind of warm feeling

不做沙发了哦

How long haven't you written a letter when involved in the E-era!
I like today's topic very much, it is really a long time for me haven't write a letter when involved in the E-era!
Nowodays, with the fast development of technology and society, most of us spend a lot of time to communicate with the outside world through email and telephone, but we have pay less and less attention to write a letter to our friends and family members. This kind of phenomenon has been happening frequently, sometimes I have to doubt that is this the progress of the time or our ignorance?
I can remember that very clearly, when i was a child, as my parents didn't live with me, they went to work in other province. I often miss them so much, at that time, our family was not very rich. I have no computer, I couldn't send emails to express my thoughts to them. I couldn't always give the call to them, just because of lacking of money. In this kind of situation, to write a letter is the best useful and economic way for me. I often cherish the memory of the wonderful times. How happy I was after i received their letters from the far place. Gradually, i grown up and went to college in other city, it was a long way for me to go home frequently. Owing to hard stuy tasks and poor family at that moment, I just could use the long vacation (summer and winter holiday) to go home. Thus, i was homesick. I expressed my feeling through letter and waited for my parents letter on return. These letters still been kept by me.
However, since i graduated from college. I have never do it. Now I am richer than before, I have computer and telephone, i am able to talk with them by internet and telephone, but no face to face. It is not special for me to do these things any more. But with the time flying, I often cherish that wonderful memory. Actually, even though we live in the modern society, we can use a lot of high technology for achieving our goals, however, we have to admit that it is not up to the good emotion ever brought to us.
So, my dear frineds, let's pick up the good character belonged to us, try to write a letter to our friends or relatives.The world will become better and better in the process of communication.

说真的,我不知道从我之前写最后一封信到现在已经有多久了.在我的记忆当中,我大学时候的确是有写信的,就是大学时期间的前两年.
Honestly speaking,I don't know how long the time is since I wrote my last letter before.In my memory,I did write letters when I was in my college,the early two years in my college.
当我上初中的时候,QQ还是叫做QICQ.那个时候,我班上的同学很疯狂地写信给他们的网友.当时与网友最主要的沟通交流方式就是写信.因为我们没有很多时间与金钱用其他方式去交流,比如QQ,电话之类的...但我没有像他们一样做过那种事.我只是在QQ上面与我们网友有聊聊天,一离开网吧就忘记他们了.但我的同学就经常向他们的网友要地址,目的就是可以通信再进一步交流.
When I was in my middle school,QQ was called OICQ.Then my classmates were crazy to write letter to their web friends.The  primary way to communicate with the web friends was writing letters.Because there was not enough time or money to communicate in other ways,such as QQ,phone.....But I never done that kind of thing like them.I just chated with my web friends via QQ.After leaving the web bar they were forgotten.but my classmates always asked for the address of their web friends in order to further communicate by writing letters.
当我上高中的时候,我还是没有写过信,因为当时我所有的朋友都在我身边.离我都很近.但我经常会收到不认识的女生的信.我从来没有回复过她们.因为我曾在我朋友面前发过誓:我高中期间绝不谈恋爱的.
when I was in my high school,I had not written a letter.Because all my friends were around me.quite near me.But I often received letters from unknown girls.I never wrote back to them because I had promised in front of my good friends that I won't say love to any girl during the time I was in high school.
只有我上了大学,我的很多朋友都离我很远,我们才相互写信,同时寄一些生日卡和相片之类的.无论是寄信还是收信,都是一件很开心和兴奋的事情.
Just when I was in my college.Many friend friends of mine is so far from me.We wrote letters to each other by sending the birthday card and pictures at the same time.It is very happy and excited no matter to send a letter or to recieve a letter.

long long ago...

Stiil miss the days I sent a card when new year came, still miss the days I talked to a friend on a telephone, moreover, the days of writing a letter has been a distant past, I can’t go back.

When I was a little girl, my father was not on my side, he went to other city to study, so our family was apart then. That time I was agony and missed dad very much, hoping the moment I opened my eyes I would see my dad. My mum then taught me how to write a letter, and every time I received my dad’s letter I would be excited for long. Since then I have learnt how to write a letter.

In high school, our classmates was obsessed with letter, I took part in this. I wrote letter to my friends and kept in touch with them through this way. By now, my drawer still has these old letters in. Every time I open it, it reminds me of the wonderful time in the past and my lovely friends.

Maybe on someday, I will try this again and pick up the time past. Listen to the old song I like, read old book I like, meet old friends, these are all I missed.

It has been a history

I wrote my last letter when I'm a school boy.
So long time!

    I think half a year ago I wrote my last letter to my boyfriend. I am kind of traditional. A few days after I entered university, I wrote my first letter to him. Of course he wasn’t my boyfriend yet at that time. However, I liked him. I wanted to keep contact with him in a special way. His handwriting was strikingly beautiful. However, his writing skill was really bad. My letter was always much longer than his, I could feel that he didn’t have so many things to say. He kept correspondence with me for he liked me either, but I knew he would never ever tell me if I didn’t take positive action.
    We kept stable correspondence for 2 and half a year. 6 months after we made certain of our relationship, he was reluctant to write letter to me. He said that I had so many words everyday, he had nothing to write anymore. That seemed to be an acceptable excuse, I approved his proposal, although unwillingly. From then on, only when I was angry and refused to talk with him would he write a letter to apologize. Sometimes I feel that I fall in love with the wrong person, I am so romantic, but he is so dumb just like a piece of wood!
I think writing letter is the best way to show our hearts. Chinese people are quite introvert and reserved. We are not used to expressing our emotion and feeling face to face. It would be embarrassing to show our love to another people in the western way, especially at the primary phase of a relationship. I am sure that my boyfriend and I won’t be together without that thick pile of letters.
    Another point I want to add is that letter would be much precious than E-mail. Although it is environment-friendly and time-saving to keep contact via E-mail, it won’t make me feel so warm and exciting comparing to receiving a letter. When I held the letter and tried to guess how many papers there were in it; When I rippled the letter open carefully; When I touch the characters written by him; When I read the content quietly, I truly felt happiness. That letter, conveys his love, his heart.

It's too long to remember.

I sent last handwriting mail to my parents when I was a college students, as there was not good way for me to express miss to them.
Now I prefer phone call to letter, as it is still not a good place for my home town to get a letter. Even it arrives, my mother may get it at hand half a month later. That is too bad for me.

N years!

这个话题好啊~

Woo! when I was in middle school!

Well I'd like to say it's been a quite long time..
Although writting letters is a great way to express yourself according to the fact that the way you write is the way you act.
In the E-era everything is too fast to  chase ,we seldom have time to be slow down and enjoy the views alone the road...
