Question

17．Emojis（表情符號）
Have you found that more and more people are using emojis to communicate online？For example，"Happy Birthday"has become a cake with lit candles．And"I am happy"has become a smiling face．
Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan．According to a survey of a mobile technology company，6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day．Last year，20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon．It became the most widely-used icon in 2015．
Emojis are now used as"a new form of expression"，and one which can cross language barriers（障礙）．"Emojis are popular among millennials，who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s，because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are‘flexible（靈活的）and show meanings beautifully'"，president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural．
Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce（勞動力），emojis have been more accepted in the workplace．For many people，the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream（主流）society．In the digital age，emojis are"how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day．"
But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing．Jonathan Jones of The Guardian said that the success of emojis is"a step back for humans"，hurting people's ability to use languages．
"There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures-the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level，"he said．

分析 你有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)，越來越多的人使用emojis（表情符號）在線交流？例如，"生日快樂"成了一個有蠟燭的蛋糕，"我快樂"已經(jīng)成為一個微笑的臉．Emojis在上個世紀(jì)90年代在日本發(fā)明時就很受歡迎．根據(jù)移動技術(shù)公司的一項調(diào)查顯示，全世界每天就有60億的emojis用于短信．去年，20%用于英國和17%用于美國的就是"笑哭臉"．它成為2015最廣泛使用的圖標(biāo)．Emojis現(xiàn)在作為"一種新的表達(dá)形式"，和一個可以跨越語言障礙的表達(dá)形式．"emojis深受出生于上世紀(jì)80年代末和本世紀(jì)初之間的千禧一代的喜歡，因為他們喜歡新技術(shù)和新事物，他們認(rèn)為emojis 很靈活而且表達(dá)很有美感"，牛津詞典的總裁是這樣跟華爾街雜志說的．自從千禧一代成為美國勞動力最大的部分，emojis在工作場所也被認(rèn)可．對許多人來說，小的圖片也表明用戶是主流社會的一部分．在數(shù)字化時代，大多數(shù)人每天用emojis來交流并且多次展示自己的個性．但不是每個人都認(rèn)為emojis的使用是一件好事．衛(wèi)報的喬納森瓊斯說，emojis的成功是"人類的退步"，它降低了人們的語言運用能力．"你能用圖片表達(dá)什么有嚴(yán)格的限制，文字在表達(dá)想法和感情的最高水平時是必要的，"他說．你對emojis是"笑臉"還是"哭臉"呢？
