You should call instead of text
为何打电话比发信息好
If you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
如果你想和交谈的人感觉更亲近，你应该给他们打电话，而不是发短信。
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
发表在《实验心理学杂志》的一项新研究发现，打电话或视频聊天等包含语音的通信互动比发短信和电子邮件等打字通信方式更能加强社交纽带关系。
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."
哈佛大学毕业的纽约临床心理学家塞布丽娜•罗曼诺夫表示，为了方便，人们倾向于发短信或电子邮件，而不是打电话，因为他们将短信和电邮视为可控的通信方式，可以“精确地发送自己想传达的信息，而不会受到另一个人意外插话的干扰”。
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.
罗曼诺夫指出，事实上，发短信会让人难以确定对话背后的真实含义。
"A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message," she explains. "Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation."
她解释道：“如果想保证信息传达的效果，打电话其实更方便。双方都在，因此能理解对话内容背后的含义，而不用没完没了地反复思考词句和标点背后的潜在含义。”
