Social Set
Some of my older, more sophisticated friends find television much more of a social experience than, say, going to a Broadway play or to movies. While no talking is allowed in the theater, social television encourages interaction between audience and set, and among the audience. The viewers can guess at the dialogue and plot of dramas, editorialize on the news, predict the Oscar winners, or single out from the semifinalists the next Miss America. It can be much more fun to talk back to the set than to sit silently in a darkened theater ( the product on the screen being equal, naturally).
I am not claiming that social television has brought back the wit and brilliance of the salon to American homes. Social television can’t replace real conversation or teter-a-tetes or a good book or a blazing fireplace or solitary thought.
Television has proved, on the whole, to be a good guest in the house, especially when it is not invited to perform too often. Most of our work and much of our play forces us, as individuals, into specialized rules. Even our reading materials have become like private languages-father is down at the Wall Street Journal or looking into his Fortune; mother can be found or may be lost, in The Women’s Room; the college kids are like a Rolling Stone.
Television can be a national tongue. At its best, television can provide a common basis for experience, maybe a few laughs, some information and insight, perhaps the chance to engage one’s intelligence and imagination. In these days of runaway prices, inflated mediocrities, and deflated hopes in our public lives, that’s not a bad record. Television has a standing invitation to come to my place.
选项
答案
社 交 机 我并没有说电视社交在美国家庭中重现了19世纪沙龙的聪敏机智,电视不能代替真正的交谈或谈心,或一本好书,或熊熊燃烧的壁炉,或默默的沉思。 总而言之,电视确实是家中的一位好客人,尤其是在邀请它表演的次数不过于多时。我们的工作和娱乐常常迫使我们各自担任特定的角色,甚至我们的读物也成为个人自己的语言——父亲正埋头阅读《华尔街日报》或《财富》杂志,母亲沉浸在《妇女的房间》中,而上大学的孩子们则一心迷恋《滚石乐》。 电视可以是全国的共同的语言。如果使用得当,它可以为人们的生活提供一个共同的基础:也许是一些欢笑,一些信息和见识,也许能为人们使用智力和发挥想象提供一些机会。在这个物价飞涨、社会生活中充满了夸大的平庸、希望破灭的时代.电视不愧是个好东西。电视是我家的常客。
