Another mark of progress is the arrival of a broadband Internet connection. So now I can use my laptop just as though I was at home in London, and the satellite dish gives us the world’s television and radio stations as well.
另一个进步的烙印则是宽带网络的出现。这让我能像在伦敦家中那样使用手提电脑，而卫星则提供给我们全世界的新闻广播频道。在许多方面都有了进步。但我往常都习惯在假期中把那些国家大事抛于脑后，把那些高科技产品丢在一边。如今却没有这样的好事了，我必须随时待命。
