　　Passage 2

　　Music Coming to Cafeterias　　Mary Dixon, Director of the Student Life Committee, announced yesterday that beginning next semester,university cafeterias will broadcast classical music during mealtimes. “Music will foster a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Dixon. “Students’ lives are hectic, and mealtimes provide important opportunities to take a break and catch up with friends before moving on to the next class or assignment.” Added Dixon, “We’re hoping that, if we provide the music, students will unplug their music devices – their walkmans and mp3 players or whatever – and will spend more time talking to each other. When students have their headphones on, they’re not connecting with each other.”

　　音乐走进自助餐厅

　　学生生活委员会主任Mary Dixon昨天宣布，从下学期开始，大学自助餐厅将在用餐时间播放古典音乐。音乐将营造一种更轻松的氛围，”Dixon说。“学生们的生活很忙碌，用餐时间为他们提供了重要的机会，让他们在进入下一节课或作业之前休息一下，与朋友们聊聊天。”Dixon补充道：“我们希望，如果我们提供音乐，学生们会拔掉他们的音乐设备——随身听和mp3播放器或其他什么——并花更多的时间相互交谈。当学生们戴上耳机时，他们就不会相互联系。”
