问答题 4.  互联网增进了个体获得和传播信息的便利性,但同时也使个体淹没在繁芜庞杂的信息中。在社会联系的意义上,互联网促进了个体之间的“在线交往”,但常常削减了面对面交往中的人性因素,制造或加深了个体的孤独感。对于互联网时代的个体来说,在参与社会生活的同时培育自我反省能力和社会学的想象力,是化解孤独感的重要途径。
【正确答案】Although the Internet improves the convenience of individual acquiring and disseminating information, it makes the individuality submerge in a vast amount of information. On the significance of social connection, the Internet promotes the "online communication" between individuals, but often cuts down the human factors in the face-to-face communication, producing or deepening the loneliness of individuals. It is an important approach to resolving the loneliness for individuals of the Internet era to cultivate self-reflection ability and the sociological imagination when participating in the social life.
