You are enjoying the beautiful scenery in a quiet place, but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted
(打断) by the noisy sound of a cellphone (手机)! Cellphones are everywhere, and some people don't know
what the limits of cellphone use are.
For me, it's just a matter of education, good manners, and common sense. If I go to a beautiful place,
it is because I want to enjoy nature. I can do it, but without bothering (打扰) other people.
Nowadays, that's the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their
cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a
public place should have to listen to private conversations (私人谈话). Even more annoying, you hear just
one part of the conversation.
People need to learn how to use cellphones correctly. If there is an emergency (紧急情况), cellphones
are acceptable, but remember that just a few years ago few people had cellphones and the whole society
survived!
But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people's private conversations. It's like smoking. People
don't want to be bothered by smokers. Our society has to learn to respect other people.
Sometimes when you are talking to someone, that person interrupts the conversation because of a
cellphone call, without saying "I'm sorry." That is bad manners. They don't know how to respect other people.
It's just common sense! But our society is sometimes so "common senseless!" So, we have to write some
rules to prohibit (禁止) cellphone use in some places.
