参考译文
天下着雨。我走进一家咖啡馆要了一杯咖啡。当我等着咖啡上来时，我意识到尽管这个地方有其他人，但我却很孤独。我看见他们的身体，却感受不到他们的灵魂，因为他们的灵魂属于网络。
我站起来，在桌子间来回走着。当我来到最大的那台电脑旁，我看见一个瘦小的男人坐在前面。我问了他好几遍他叫什么，他才最终回答我他叫斯蒂夫。“我不能和你说话。我很忙。”他说。他正在在线聊天，同时还打着电脑游戏——一种战争游戏。对此我很吃惊。
为什么斯蒂夫不想和我交谈？我又试着和那个电脑怪人说话，但他一言不发。我碰了碰他的肩膀，毫无反应。我不高兴了，我把手放在显示器前，他开始大叫：“别烦我！”
我倒退几步，想知道是不是这里的所有人都在看我。我抬起头，发现没人对我感兴趣。
那一刻，我意识到人们和机器交流得很好，但和人却不行。他们对和电脑建立关系更感兴趣，特别是斯蒂夫。我不愿想象，将来的人们宁愿和机器共同生活，而不愿和同类生活。
我很担心，我陷入沉思中。我甚至没有意识到咖啡很难喝，正如斯蒂夫没有注意到他的旁边还有个人一样。
