D: Danielle F: Freddy
Danielle and Freddy are traveling abroad together. They walk by a shop that displays postcards for sale and stop to take a look.
D: Hey, look at these postcards. I think it would be wonderful to send them to our friends and family back home. And you know what? I’m going to send one to myself as a souvenir as well.
F: Postcards? Why go through the trouble of buying and mailing them when we can just share our travel photos on the internet?
D: I see where you’re coming from, but there’s something special about receiving a physical postcard these days. It creates a personal connection that’s hard to replace.
丹妮爾和弗雷迪一起出國旅行。他們路過一家販賣明信片的商店並停下來看了看。
丹妮爾: 嘿,看看這些明信片。我覺得將它們寄給我們家鄉的朋友和家人們會很棒。你知道嗎?我也打算寄一張給自己作為紀念。
弗雷迪: 明信片?我們可以在網路上分享我們的旅行照片,為什麼還要費盡心思購買和郵寄它們呢?
丹妮爾: 我懂你為什麼會這樣想,但是現在收到實體的明信片有其特別之處。它創造了一種難以替代的親密聯繫。
