Julie Joins Facebook朱莉加入facebook
Julie was sitting in bed late at night playing with her brand-new smartphone. Earlier that week, she had been visited by her children and grandchildren to celebrate her 70th birthday, and had received the phone as a gift from her granddaughter Mary. Julie had been widowed for five years now. Since she lived hours away from the rest of the family, Mary thought the phone would be a good way for them to keep in touch and take up some of her time.
朱莉坐在床上玩着她的新智能手机。前不久，她的孩子和孙子们来为她庆祝七十岁生日，还收到了她孙女玛丽的礼物。朱莉已经独自生活五年了，因为她家人都在外面工作，她就会觉得手机是一个很好东西，可以让他们保持联系，还可以打发一些时间。
Up until then, Julie had never really been interested in catching up with modern technology, but finally owning her own smartphone made her feel youthful, and she decided to join Facebook since that was what she had noticed all the younger people were doing. However, when making her profile page, she was embarrassed to put up a picture of herself since she thought she looked much too wrinkly and nobody would want to talk to her. To remedy this, she downloaded a picture of a beautiful 20-something year old from Google, posted it under her name, and went to sleep.
在此之前，朱莉从来没有对的赶现代技术感兴趣过，但最后，她有自己的智能手机后，她觉得变得更年轻了，所以她决定加入facebook，因为这里可以看到所有的年轻人正在做什么。然而，她很不好意思地把一张自己的照片上传到了主页，她觉得她看上去太老了，没有人会想和她说话。为了弥补这一点，她从谷歌里下载了一张20岁漂亮的照片，还粘贴上了她的名字，然后就去睡觉了。
The next morning, Julie woke up and enthusiastically logged into Facebook in hopes that she would have one or two new friends. She could not believe her eyes. Her inbox was full of friend requests from dozens and dozens of young handsome men that were complimenting her beauty and wanted to know all about her. Julie decided to accept only the best-looking ones and began chatting with them day and night, never letting them know that they were actually talking to a grandma. The next time Julie met up with Mary, she thanked her so much for the phone and remarked, "I haven't felt so young and pretty in years!" Mary was confused and asked, "Why?" Julie just gave a mischievous smile and changed the topic.
第二天早上，朱莉醒来，登录到facebook，希望她能有一个或两个新朋友。她不敢相信她的眼睛，她的收件箱里满满的几十个年轻英俊的男人，都称赞她的美丽，想知道更多关于她的一切。她决定只接受最好的看的人，和他们从早聊到晚，但她从来不让别人知道他们实际上他们是在跟一个奶奶说话。朱莉和玛丽再次见面时，她非常感谢她，并说：“几年来，我还没觉得这么年轻和漂亮！”玛丽很困惑，问道：“为什么？”朱莉只是给了调皮的笑容然后换了个话题。
