“偷菜”也时尚（英语）

爱思英语编者按：“你今天偷了多少菜”？“X X家的蔬菜成熟了，赶紧去偷吧”。最近，在写字楼里经常听到这样的谈话并不表示谁家光顾了小偷，或者谁要结伴去偷东西了。而是在谈论一种很流行的网上“偷菜”游戏。据悉，这个游戏在白领间颇为流行，甚至有些白领一天不“偷菜”就憋得慌，已经有“偷菜强迫症”的苗头。专家认为：在虚拟网络上，“偷菜”这种道德、法律所不容许的行为变成了一种游戏，使人们被压抑的“占小便宜”、“不劳而获”、“想怎么干都行”的心理得到宣泄和释放。但需要注意的是，一旦沉迷，会逐渐开始对现实生活感到焦虑，产生孤独感，这样对人的心理健康和正常的社会交往很不利。

Don't be afraid! We are not encouraging the stealing behavior, but to tell you maybe the most popular topic from white-collars' mouth in cities.

Together with "How many vegetables do you steal today," "it's harvest time for your ripe peach," "I bought you a new car today."

Listening to all of these conversations from quite a lot people in the subway or bus, you do not have to feel weird about the thought that is there so many people in the city really have their own farms, or do they really so reach to buy someone else cars casually?

The answer is obvious negative. They just play some games on Social Network Sites (SNS) like kaixin001.com.

Can you imagine that more than millions of people in Chinese mainland will spend lots of time on SNS to play game and talk to friends, especially white-collars who work in the cities? Take kaixin001.com as an example, the current member of it has already hit 38 million.

However, the great mount of people who would like to use such SNS indicates another social problem. That is lots of people choose to escape from the reality. Social reality dose have lots of uncertain elements, and could even make people feel bad about their lives, but no one can get rid of it and live all his life in beautiful dreams.

Some people decide to taste all the things ought to be there in their lives. Whether it is helplessness or misery, they bravely face all of them and become more mature after every tough experience. While, some else choose to escape temporally. SNS just offer them a Virtual space to forget the reality.

Kinds of games and various of friends do give netizens lots of fun. Indulging, dreaming, chatting and playing, seems like people could really escape from all the upsets in reality. But, Virtual world is not the real one can live in it forever, and reality is not that simple like noodling around on the internet.     更多信息请访问：http://www.engbus.cn/

Finally, some people are aware of the situation they are in; they figure out the abrupt contrast between dream and reality. This time, they choose to run away again, but from the dream, from kaixin and so on; and they are going back to the real world to live the real life.

Kaixin does not make every user feel happy, and that upsets the SNS too. How to turn such SNS to be more beneficial and how to make people realize SNS is not the paradise which could neglect the reality is becoming the focus of attention gradually. Due to the social responsibility and conscience, both SNS and public should have to worry about the problem carefully.

Since this kind of social phenomenon is so popular on the internet, people start thinking to remove it in the reality. And so far as we know, a farm land of this kind exist in Shanghai where it reaches its first base.

After playing the "happy farm" game on kaixin001.com, would you like to put yourself among the real corps while smelling the fragrance of the countryside? Recently, a farm land service called "happy farm in reality" was opened in the suburbs of Shanghai where white-collar workers from around that region can experience the real farmer's life by themselves.
