聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 4592 Why are more and more people turning to the Web to find a mate

 
2--I think that，as more people use the Internet for both work and pleasure，it makes more sense as a tool to connect with people， and the stigma of meeting someone online is reduced.
 
1--There are actually special sites for people looking to date within their specific ethinc group and age group. But how should you screen potential mates?  Do you suggest talking to them on the phone right away or communicating via e-mail?
 
2--I would say do not make the e-mail exchange too long. A lot of times a connection via e-mail creates almost a false sense of inti-macy. Quickly make sure there is a connection in the physical world.
 
1--Can you give us any other safety tips for people pursuing relation-ships on the Net?
 
2--I'd suggest you not give out too much personal information，like your home address，until after several dates. Just keep up the same guards you would keep up if you were meeting any stranger.
 
1--Besides the growth of these matchmaker sites，do you have any stats on success rates? Are people out there finding true and last-ing love through the Internet
 
2--Well，for a site like ecrush. com，since their debut in Valentine's Day in 1999，of the 1.5 million people who have joined ecrush.com,300000 have actually matched.
 
1--Do you have any success stories to share?
 
2--Yes，the couple that I highlighted at today's show met on Match. com and they're getting married this summer.

1--泰芙妮，為什么越來(lái)越多的人到網(wǎng)上去找生活中的伴侶呢?
2--我想，現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的人在工作和娛樂(lè)中都使用因特網(wǎng)。所以，把因特網(wǎng)作為一種與人溝通的工具是有道理的。并且，網(wǎng)上交友的污名也洗刷得輕多了。
1--現(xiàn)在有專門的網(wǎng)站向人提供某些特定種族或年齡層次的交友服務(wù)。但是，應(yīng)該如何挑選未來(lái)的伴侶呢?你認(rèn)為是迅速進(jìn)人電話交流階段好呢，還是互通電子郵件好?
2--我覺(jué)得通信時(shí)間不要太長(zhǎng)為好，因?yàn)楹芏嗲闆r下，電子郵件交流會(huì)造成一種不真實(shí)的親密感。短期內(nèi)必須建立在有形世界里的聯(lián)系。
1--你能否給追求網(wǎng)上情緣的人們提一些安全方面的建議?
2--除了婚介網(wǎng)站發(fā)展情況，你知不知道婚介的成功率?人們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上能找到永恒的真愛(ài)嗎?
1--除了婚介網(wǎng)站發(fā)展情況，你知不知道婚介的成功率?人們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上能找到永恒的真愛(ài)嗎?
2--比如ecrush.com網(wǎng)站是1999年的情人節(jié)才開(kāi)張的，迄今已有150萬(wàn)用戶，其中有30萬(wàn)已經(jīng)成雙成對(duì)了。
1--有沒(méi)有什么成功故事講來(lái)給大家聽(tīng)聽(tīng)?
2--今天節(jié)目的精彩鏡頭中亮相的這對(duì)情人就是在Match.com結(jié)識(shí)的。他們將于今年夏天結(jié)婚。
