越來越多的中國人現在離不開手機了。他們中的許多人，包括老年人，都使用手機應用程序保持聯系并拓寬朋友圈。他們也用手機購物，查找信息，因為手機便于攜帶。此外，使用手機應用程序通信比傳統電話便宜。然而，這種新趨勢導致人們在社交時過度依賴手機。事實上，一些年輕人已經變得十分上癮，以至于忽略了與家人和朋友面對面的交流。

An increasing number of Chinese people are inseparable from mobile phones. Many of them, including the elderly, use mobile applications to keep in touch with friends and broaden their circle of friends. Because the mobile phone is easy to carry, they also shop and look for information with it. In addition, communicating through mobile applications is cheaper than using traditional calls. However, the new trend has led people to rely on the mobile phone excessively when socializing. In fact, some youngsters have become so addicted to mobile phones that they neglect the face-to-face communication with their family and friends.
