參考譯文
天下著雨。我走進(jìn)一家咖啡館要了一杯咖啡。當(dāng)我等著咖啡上來時(shí),我意識到盡管這個(gè)地方有其他人,但我卻很孤獨(dú)。我看見他們的身體,卻感受不到他們的靈魂,因?yàn)樗麄兊撵`魂屬于網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
我站起來,在桌子間來回走著。當(dāng)我來到最大的那臺電腦旁,我看見一個(gè)瘦小的男人坐在前面。我問了他好幾遍他叫什么,他才最終回答我他叫斯蒂夫?!拔也荒芎湍阏f話。我很忙?!彼f。他正在在線聊天,同時(shí)還打著電腦游戲——一種戰(zhàn)爭游戲。對此我很吃驚。
為什么斯蒂夫不想和我交談?我又試著和那個(gè)電腦怪人說話,但他一言不發(fā)。我碰了碰他的肩膀,毫無反應(yīng)。我不高興了,我把手放在顯示器前,他開始大叫:“別煩我!”
我倒退幾步,想知道是不是這里的所有人都在看我。我抬起頭,發(fā)現(xiàn)沒人對我感興趣。
那一刻,我意識到人們和機(jī)器交流得很好,但和人卻不行。他們對和電腦建立關(guān)系更感興趣,特別是斯蒂夫。我不愿想象,將來的人們寧愿和機(jī)器共同生活,而不愿和同類生活。
我很擔(dān)心,我陷入沉思中。我甚至沒有意識到咖啡很難喝,正如斯蒂夫沒有注意到他的旁邊還有個(gè)人一樣。
