【英音模仿秀】被互联网“偷走”的时间

模仿文本：  Well, it's Monday and the chances are you're preparing to settle your feet under the desk, and in front of a computer somewhere, and the chances are - after the cursory¹ answering of emails and a cup of coffee, the call of the internet becomes hard to resist - online shopping, Facebook, YouTube, even perhaps our own BBC News website, each offering a sampling of delights from the webs' unending cabinet² of curios.

译文： 今天是周一，你很可能正端坐在桌旁，面前的某处有台电脑，粗略地回复一些邮件后喝了杯咖啡，此时任何事情可能都无法阻止你上网了。网上购物，Facebook，Youtube，甚至是我们自己的BBC新闻网，每一个网站都能带给我们不同的愉悦，而这些只是网络世界的潘多拉盒子的一部分。
