You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.As is symbolically illustrate in the cartoon, a person is always staying in front of a computer no matter whether he or she is working, studying or playing. Even when he or she is sleeping, the image of surfing on line is also indispensable in his or her sweet dreams.The metaphorical portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and computer.

On the one hand, there is no denying that the computer is currently one of the most efficient tools either to entertain oneself or to meet the work’s needs. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to computers to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues. Once indulged in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others and to concentrate on real life.Hence, it is necessary for us to use computers in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.

After all, the computer is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.

参考译文

漫画中象征性的表明，一个人总是坐在一台电脑前面，无论工作、在家还是娱乐。甚至当他或她睡觉的时候，网上冲浪的画面也会出现在他或她甜美的梦中。这幅有深意的图画象征性揭示了人与电脑之间的双重关系。一方面，不可否认电脑是目前最高效的媒介之一，不论是娱乐自我还是满足工作需要方面。但另一方面，很多人承认他们太沉迷于电脑而不愿与朋友和同事保持面对面的接触。一旦沉迷于这种虚幻世界，人们不愿意接近他人并关注现实生活。

因此，我们很有必要以一种合理的方式使用电脑，避免过度沉迷。毕竟，人们发明电脑是为了连接你和我，为我们的生活带来方便，而非设置障碍使人们彼此疏远。
