Part Four: Monologue
The Internet has changed the way Americans do many things. Increasingly, Americans use the Internet to shop, bank, keep in touch through email and chatting, get their news, and research topics of interest. Websites such as ebay let them pursue hobbies such as coin or stamp collecting. You can even get radio and television shows on the internet. Email is still the most common use of the internet, and its uses are growing everyday. People joke that soon the only reason to leave your house will be to find a wife, since you’ll be able to do everything else over the Internet.
因特网改变了美国人做事的方式。美国人越来越多地使用因特网购物、处理银行业务、用电子邮件和聊天的方式和别人保持联系，获得新闻，以及对感兴趣的题目做研究。比如ebay这样的网站就可以使人们继续自己收集硬币或集邮的嗜好。通过因特网你还可以收听和看电台电视节目。电子邮件也仍是人们使用因特网最普遍的用途之一，而且它的使用每天还在增加。人们开玩笑说不久之后人们离家出走的唯一一个原因只可能是去寻求自己的另一半，因为除此之外其他一切都可以在网上进行。
