A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
消息
Messages
Sadly, we give little thought or consideration to the messages that we entertain.
遗憾的是，我们很少考虑或考虑我们所接受的信息。
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, 'Why don't you just call?'
我看到有人在手机上或电脑上发短信，我就想，‘你为什么不打个电话呢?’
The reason that I keep writing is that all my most powerful messages about the fates of wild places that I care about need to have words as well as images.
我坚持写作的原因是，我所有关于我所关心的野生动物命运的最有力的信息都需要文字和图像。
I've given up email. Well, almost. At the weekend I set up one of those auto-reply messages, informing my correspondents that I would no longer be checking my emails, and that instead they might like to call or write, as we used to in the olden days.
我已经放弃电子邮件了。嗯,差不多。周末，我设置了一条自动回复信息，通知我的通讯员，我将不再查看我的电子邮件，他们可能会打电话或写信，就像我们过去习惯的那样。
