，21世紀的美國人投入了比歷史上任何一個社會都要多的技術手段。然而這些手段卻辜負了我們：研究表明我們感覺越來越孤單。我們的生命花在了兩種相互矛盾的欲望之間的拉鋸戰(zhàn)上：我們想保持聯(lián)系，但我們也想自由。我們在兩者之間徘徊，兩種狀態(tài)都想達到。如果我們想在一方面得到，那我們需要在另一方面犧牲多少呢？我們怎么知道自己什么時候達到兩者間的平衡呢？但是這個國家的人們還在疏遠彼此。我們需要知道為什么。首先，讓我們來看看我們生活中的瘋狂忙碌狀態(tài)。美國人可能是世界上唯一抱有這樣一種理念的民族：每個人都有權利和能力在自己短暫的一生實現(xiàn)任何夢想?！叭绻阏娴呐?，你就能成為你想要成為的人。只要開始嘗試，什么時候都不晚?！泵绹褪沁@種思想的發(fā)源地。有個好友恰如其分地描繪了忙碌對我們鄰里生活的影響：“過去表示鄰里友好就是要相互拜訪。但現(xiàn)在，對鄰居友好就意味著不要打擾他們”。人們的生活受他們忙碌程度的影響，同時也受給予這種忙碌狀態(tài)的尊重及敬意程度的影響——特別是當忙碌被視為比相互聯(lián)系及集體生活更重要時。如果人們考慮周到的話，他們會猜想他們的鄰居非常忙所以盡量不去打擾。順便拜訪不再是親近鄰居的表現(xiàn)，那只會顯得很沒禮貌。我們把交際當做了手頭諸多任務中一個不起眼的小插曲，而不是一項對于我們個人或集體的利益都很重要的活動。很快，我們不愿意打電話給別人（甚至也不發(fā)電郵），這種行為讓別人以為我們太忙于我們自己的生活以至無暇顧及他們。我們的朋友并不覺得奇怪。我們的親戚可能會生氣，但即使是他們也知道其中的艱辛。于是大家達成了一種默契：失去聯(lián)系是很糟糕的，但事情就是這樣。日常生活的節(jié)奏可能會把我們推向孤獨，但也有一種拉力將我們拉向孤獨：獨自一人是個誘人的畫面，這是一種勝利，而不是一種逃避。自拉爾夫沃爾多愛默生為此寫下著名的篇章，亨利大衛(wèi)梭羅開始在他的瓦爾登湖湖畔的小屋中身體力行后，很多美國大人物都把自立這種概念理想化了。當我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們確實被孤立，并與自立自強的英雄一起孤芳自賞時，我們每個人卻突然變得不再是獨自一人，而是一個群體中的一部分——一個偉大的美國傳統(tǒng)群體，其中有孤獨的牛仔及單打獨斗的企業(yè)家。這個心理魔術變成了一種安慰，讓我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被孤立不那么痛苦。也許我們孤立自己并非完全出于本意，但是我們最后所處的處境，和我們一直的預期非常相近。表面看來，我們引以為榮。這也是一個人在地球上最不愿意呆的地方。與社會脫節(jié)的后果深遠而且復雜。首先，社會支持是決定全身健康的重要因素。它對于人的壽命、個體的抗壓能力、免疫功能及許多特定疾病的發(fā)作都有深遠的影響。醫(yī)學研究不斷發(fā)現(xiàn)社交網(wǎng)絡及社會活動對很多疾病，比如心臟病和癡呆癥，起著預防作用。與社會脫節(jié)同時也會影響生態(tài)健康。單人家庭的數(shù)量的增加造成了地球資源的緊張。此外，在我們以消費者為導向的文化中，對于生活中沒有足夠的朋友這個問題，一個普遍的解決方案是：用物品代替朋友，這樣一來，通過對物體的占有來定義一個人的身份代替了用人的社交地位來定義的方式。（我們曾經(jīng)路過紐約市的一家典雅的小店，店名就道出了這個問題：越來越多。我們保持著安全距離，隔著馬路觀察那家店。）事實是，如果有人能承認自己孤獨，那么這場戰(zhàn)役他就贏了一半。但這一半?yún)s不是那么容易贏得的。當我們開始與朋友討論這些觀點，他們的第一個反應是極力為自己與社會脫節(jié)的方式辯護。與許多美國人一樣，他們選擇了退后一步，并解釋這個選擇對他們來說是多么正確。日常生活中的小選擇——是去當?shù)氐膶嶓w店還是在網(wǎng)上訂購，是接起正在響的電話還是讓對方語音留言，是與朋友聚聚還是自己看光碟——最終定義了一個人的社交世界。這些小決定的后果是一點點累積的。你遠離他們一步他們就也遠離你一步。你就感覺自己受到了一點點遺忘。感覺自己被遺忘，卻不思考原因，你會更往后退。但如果感覺自己被遺忘，思考一下原因，就能作出一些努力去重新與社會聯(lián)系。孤獨從來都不是目標。但往往太多的人陷入此境。我們陷入是因為我們躲避的那個世界太瘋狂太苛求了。我們陷入是因為我們夢想著成為孤獨的英雄，能夠站得遠遠地藐視一切。我們陷入是因為我們感到被遺忘卻停止了尋找回歸的路。我們應該記住外圍不是我們最終的目的地。第五篇：大學英語第三冊翻譯答案Unit1。The
