Most of us can remember the days when we didnt use e-mail as an everyday vehicle for communication. Slowly but surely, it crept into our life. E-mail is a valuable tool for college students at any level. Its available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and even at holidays. Most universities assign students an account upon entrance, so there is usually not even a choice involved.
我们大多数人都还记得不用电子邮件作为每日通信工具的那些日子,但是它慢慢地却毫无疑问的悄悄地进^了我们的生活。电子邮件对各类大学生来说都是一种颇有价值的通信工具。因为它-天24小时,一周7天甚至是在假日都可以使用。许多大学在学生^学时就分给每人一个电子邮件账户,所以你几乎没有选择,必须使用。
You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, family and friends, getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But, what are the disadvantages?
从讨论家庭作业和研究项目,保持与同学的联系,同家里和朋友通信,获得日常信息服务到了解世界的最新发展动态,所有这一切都可以通过电子邮件而完成。但是电子邮件有什么样的缺点昵7
E-mail can be E-jail. You might spend hours writing and responding to e-mails when you should be hitting the books for an upcoming exam. Or you might be signed up for so many daily services, such as horoscopes, news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up with junk mail that finding the important e-mails through your mailbox might take hours.
电子邮件可能成为电子监狱。你可能本应该埋头读书以应付即将到来的考试,而你却会花上几个小时去回复你的电子邮件。或者,你的邮箱可能因注册了太多的日常项目,如星相算命、资讯服务、私人广告而充满了垃圾邮件,因而你必须花上几个小时的时间来找一些重要的信件。
If youre a student, time is valuable. Create and organize your e-mail folders into imporant school related mail, correspondence with friends and family, and a folder for jokers, horoscopes, and other news services. Always put the mail into the proper folders first, and when youve finished, head for the important school related folder first, respond to the folder for the important e-mails first, and if you have time, you can get to the others.
如果你是个学生,时间就是很宝贵的。因而你需要建立和整理你的文件夹,将其分为与学校有关的重要邮件文件夹、与朋友和家里通信的文件夹以及放笑话、星相算命和其他资讯服务的综台文件夹。总是首先将邮件放A适当的文件夹,完了以后,先打开与学校有关的重要邮件的文件夹。先回复那些最重要的邮件,如果你还有时间,再回复其他的邮件。
Discourage yor friends from forwarding those tiresome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain e-mails. The minute you realize youve got one, delete it immediately so you wont be tempted to read it.
不要让你的朋友转发那些无聊的笑话和电子邮件链接。一发现此粪邮件,你应该立即删除,以免受其诱惑。
