慢速生活英语口语广播58：电子邮件我每天早上做的第一件事就是检查邮件I open the email program on my computer and I check for new messages.我翻开计算机上的邮件程序，检查新信息It usually takes only a few seconds for my new messages to download from the server into my inbox unless there’s a large attachment.一般只需要几秒钟我的新邮件就可以从效劳下载到我的收件箱了，除非有大的附件文件I can then click onto each new message to read it.于是我就可以翻开每个邮件来阅读I reply to messages or forward them to someone else.我要么回复邮件，要么转给其它人The important messages I save by putting them into one of my mailboxes.重要的邮件我会存在我的邮箱中，不重要的我会删除。
The unimportant ones I just delete.我很烦收到垃圾邮件I really hate getting spam. Luckily, my email program allows me to set up filters so that spam messages are put into a separate mailbox automatically.所幸，我的邮件程序允许我设立过渡功能，这样垃圾邮件就会自动放在一个特地的邮箱中I usually scan the messages to make sure real messages weren’t put into the mailbox by mistake and then I put them in the trash.一般我会快速扫瞄一下这些邮件，以防被机器错误地推断为垃圾邮件，然后我就将这们放进电子垃圾箱I don’t know what I would do without email, but I’m constantly checking it for new messages.我不知道假如没有了电子邮件我会怎样，而我又时不时去检查是否有新邮件到来。
I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse. I suppose it’s both. 我不知道这是好事还是坏事，可能都有吧。
