维护网络隐私
Lorenzo: I wouldn’t post all of those photos on social media sites. 
洛伦佐：我不会把这些照片上传到社交媒体网站。
Pamela: Why not? Only my friends and family are going to see them. 
帕米拉：为什么？只有我的朋友和家人能看见这些照片。
Lorenzo: I wouldn’t be so sure. And I wouldn’t post all of that personal data either or divulge personal information. You don’t know who may gain access to your page. 
洛伦佐：我不敢肯定。我不会上传那些个人信息，或者泄露个人信息。你不知道谁会访问你的网站。
Pamela: There are privacy safeguards on this website. I can block anyone I don’t know from getting access, so no one can see what I post without permission. 
帕米拉：网站上有隐私保护措施，我能够禁止陌生人进入，未经允许，不会有任何人看到我上传的内容。
Lorenzo: Well, the people who run the website itself have access. They could track what you do and what you post, and extract data from your page to sell to third- party buyers. 
洛伦佐：呃，运行网站的人能够进去浏览网页，他们能够看到你做的事、上传的东西，从主页上摘录信息卖给第三方购买方。
Pamela: No, they can’t do that. I’d know if they were doing that. 
帕米拉：不，他们不能那样做，如果他们做了的话，我会知道的。
Lorenzo: How? 
洛伦佐：怎么知道？
Pamela: Well... 
帕米拉：呃…
Lorenzo: As I said, that’s happening as we speak. And those are the legitimate uses of your information. Hackers can gain access, too, with malicious intent. They can do a lot of damage with the personal data you’ve posted. 
洛伦佐：我说过，我们说话的功夫就可能发生。那些是合法使用信息的人。黑客也能进去你的主页，恶意攻击。他们会对你上传的个人信息造成破坏。
Pamela: So, what should I do? 
帕米拉：那么，我应该怎么做？
Lorenzo: Take down most of your posts and photos, at least the ones you wouldn’t want everyone to see. 
洛伦佐：卸载、删除你的照片，至少删除一些不愿意让别人看到的照片。
Pamela: But that would mean no one would know anything about me. Worse yet, it would mean having a really boring page. 
帕米拉：但是那样的话，就没有人知道我的情况了。更糟糕的是，我主页就没什么有意思的东西了。
Lorenzo: It’s either risk being boring or risk an invasion of your privacy. 
洛伦佐：要不然就让主页平淡无奇，要么就有被侵入隐私的危险。
Pamela: Wow, what a dilemma! 
帕里啦：哇，那真是进退两难！
