1.中译英题目
手机刷新了人与人之间的关系。会议室的门口通常贴着一张通告，请与会者关闭手机。可是会议室里的手机依然响成一片。我们都是普通人，没有多少重要的事。尽管如此，我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征着我们与这个世界的联系。手机反映出我们的"社交饥渴症。"最为常见的是，一个人在路上走着走着，忽然停下来盯着手机屏幕发短信，不管是在马路中间还是厕所旁边。

但是，时下世界上的许多国家领导人可以用当年温斯顿·丘吉尔批评欧洲诸政要忽视阿道夫·希特勒的名言来形容，"它们在奇怪的悖论中前行，仅仅为一个决定而犹豫不决，有了决心却拖泥带水，信心犹疑不定，见解随波逐流，掌权者虚弱无力。"
而如今我们向这个星球脆弱的大气层倾倒超过七千万吨温室气体，把其当作天然排污口。明天我们还会变本加厉，堆积的温室气体吸纳了越来越多的太阳热度。
