漢譯英:都市寸土千金,地價炒得越來越高。今后將更高。擁有一個小小花園的希望,對尋常之輩不啻是一種奢望,一種夢想。我想,其實誰都有一個小小花園,這便是我們的內心世界。人的智力需要開發,人的內心世界也是需要開發的。人和動物的區別,除了眾所周知的諸多方面,恐怕還在于人有內心世界。心不過是人的一個重要臟器,而內心世界是一種景觀,它是由外部世界不斷地作用于內心漸漸形成的。每個人都無比關注自己及至親至愛之人心臟的健損,以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可終日。但并非每個人都關注自己及至親至愛之人的內心世界的陰晴。

漢譯英;我想不起來哪一個熟人沒有手機。今天沒有手機的人是奇怪的,這種人才需要解釋。我們的所有社會關系都儲存在手機的電話本里,可以隨時調出使用。古代只有巫師才能擁有這種法寶。
手機刷新了人與人的關系。會議室門口通常貼著一條通告:請與會者關閉手機。可是會議室里的手機鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人,并沒有多少重要的事情。盡管如此,我們也不會輕易關掉手機。打開手機象征我們與這個世界的聯系。手機反映出我們的"社交饑渴癥"。最為常見的是,一個人走著走著突然停下來,眼睛盯著手機屏幕發短信。他不在乎停在馬路中央還是廁所旁邊。
為什么對于手機來電和短信這么在乎?因為我們迫切渴望與社會保持聯系。
