A:Do you surf online regularly?What kind of internet connection do you have?ADSLor modem?
B:Of course,ADSL.I stay online four hours at least every day.
A:Are you crazy?What are you doing with four hours online?
B:Millions of things.I surf the Net,check my e-mail,order fancy stuff,and most importantly,I chat with my friends.
A:Online chat?Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people who pretend to be what they are not?
B:Yes and no.Anyway,I love to meet new people in the chat rooms who share a lot in common with me.
A:It sounds cool.I'd like to try,but I think it's still not safe.Some predators often lurk in chat rooms.
B:Come on.You were not born yesterday.You can tell if the person is bad or not,can't you?
A:Sure,I can in real life!But in cyberspace,hard to say.
B:You are hopeless!Now I have to meet my friends online.See you later!

你定期上网吗?你用哪种网络连接?宽带还是调制解调器?
当然是宽带了.我每天上网至少四个小时.
你疯了吗?你在网上四个小时都干什么?
干的事情太多了.我浏览网页,查看邮件,订购点新奇的玩意,而最重要的是和朋友聊天.
网上聊天?你不怕那些装成好人的坏蛋吗?
也怕也不怕》不管怎么说,我喜欢在聊天室遇到新朋友,他们和我有很多相似之处.
很酷嘛!我想试试,但我还是觉得不安全.聊天室里经常有些潜伏在那儿的心怀不轨的人.
行了,你没那么容易上当!你能分清好坏人,对吧?
当然,现实生活中我能!但在网络虚拟空间中,难说.
真拿你没辙!现在我得上网会朋友了.再见!
