课文句子详解
原文
Digital shock
1 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for
three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas
and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here.
2 Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike
to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 15 - minute ride
cost me an arm and a leg – more than five pounds!
3 In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the
shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital
wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I
always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some
cash.
4 When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes
through an app instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90
minutes later, they were stone cold! By then, I felt tired and hungry.
5 Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China.
The technology there lets me live a more convenient life!
译文
数字化带来的冲击
1. 我在中国学习了一年，现在正值圣诞假期。我回到英国已经三天了，但感觉像是过了一
个世纪！见到家人真是太棒了。而且，我真的很喜欢圣诞节和那些美味的食物。然而，在
这儿我遇到了一些与数字化相关的问题。
😕
2. 今天，我想去商店买点蔬菜和肉。我决定骑共享单车去。但找一辆自行车花了好久！最
后我找到了一辆旧的。可那 15 分钟的骑行花了我一大笔钱—— 超过 5 英镑！
3. 在商店里，我很快就选好了所有需要的东西。我想用手机付款。我让店主出示二维码，
但她不明白我的意思！接着，我试着用电子钱包付款，但商店的支付系统无法使用。店主
让我用现金支付。因为我在中国一直用电子支付，所以从不带钱包。我只好回家去取现金
4. 到家时，我累得都不想做饭了。于是我通过手机应用点了我最喜欢的菜，但配送速度实
在太慢。 90 分钟后，我的菜终于到了，可却凉透了！那时，我又累又饿。
5. 除了今天，我的假期过得很愉快。不过，我盼望着回到中国。那里的科技让我的生活更
加便捷！
