　　On Online Chatting

　　网上聊天

　　With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.

　　随着信息技术行业的发展，网上聊天日益变得流行起来。

　　However, people's opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn't produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleadjng to its users because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.

　　然而，每个人对此所持观点都不同。有些人认为它所带来的问题多于它所产生的利益。首先，网上聊天浪费时间、精力和钱财，因为它并不能创造出任何有用的信息与产品。其次，它误导了用户，因为网络空间其实是一个想象的空间，在那儿事物都是不真实的或虚构的。

　　But the advocates of online chatting support it because it is another way of recreation which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.

　　但网上聊天的拥护者们支持它是因为这是一种既剌激又放松的娱乐方式。此外，它有助于人们肆意地、安全地释放他们的情感和忧虑。对他们而言，这非常有用，十分美妙。

　　As far as I am concerned, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who does it. So long as we can keep ourselves under good control, we can use it scientifically and properly and curb its bad effects to the greatest extent.(159 words)

　　我认为，上网聊天的利弊取决于网络用户。只要我们能控制自己，就能科学、合理地使用网络，最大限度地遏制其消极影响。
