电话没出现的时候，大家都用书信来保持联系，但是电话普及以后却很少人再写信了~很多人认为是电话彻底取代了书信，真的是这样吗？

Today, more than ever before, we depend on the expediency brought about by such modern devices as phones. As a result, when we feel the need to communicate with friends, instead of picking up the pen to set down to serious writing, we pick up the phone. Indeed, we speak so much and write so little that some people begin to suspect that phones will kill letter writing. However widely used it is today, the phone will not take the place of letter, for both phone and letter writing have respective functions to perform.

　　There are at least two reasons, as far as I am concerned, why this will not happen. For one thing, although phones admittedly have already taken over many roles traditionally played by the letter, there are certain areas such as commercial transactions and legal correspondence, in which black and white sincerity and confirmation is still a must. For another, in no way can a quick phone conversation convey and accomplish as much as a deliberate, well worded letter does. For instance, there seems to be no better device than letter writing to express deep, heart-felt, profound love, a fact underlined by the enormous love letters of GREat men and women.www.yyzuowen.com

　　As we know, in the 1960’s, there had been so much talk that TV would kill newspapers. And it has never happened. Today we are in a similar situation. We can be certain, for the reasons discussed above, that letter writing is irreplaceable.

  《写信》是印度现代诗人泰戈尔所作的一篇散文。

  原文如下：

  《写信》

  作者：拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔

  你给了我一支自来水金笔和其他文具——各种印花信笺，镀银裁纸刀，剪刀，虫漆， 红绸带，玻璃纸包的红色、蓝色、绿色铅笔。还有一张核桃木书桌。

  你叮嘱我每天写一封信。

  上午洗完澡，我坐下写信。

  我一时不知该写些什么。

  目前我只有一条消息——你走了。

  你也知道这条消息，不过，你似乎并未深刻理解这条消息的内容。所以，我想首先 告诉你——你已经走了。

  我一次次提笔，一次次体会到，这条消息并不简单。

  我不是诗人，我没有用语言表述我的心声和顾盼的能力。

  一张张信纸让我撕了。

  已经十点了，你的侄儿帕古要去上学，我得照料他吃饭。

  我最后一次写“你走了”，其他的话，全写在横七竖八涂改的笔划里了。
