There have been some recent articles about how the language of texting is damaging the English Language. Whether you agree or not with this view, the language of texting is here to stay. Most of us live through our smartphones and I have to say that even I, an English Language Trainer, use text language when sending SMSs.
最近有文章讲短信体是如何破坏英语语言的。无论你是否赞同这个观点，短信体都存在。我们大部分人都生活在智能手机的世界里，即使是我这样一个英语语言老师也会在发送短信时采用短信体。

I am in awe of young people today who can send texts in seconds. Of course, they have mastered the language of texting and I really need to learn from them. As an English Language Trainer, I cannot escape this reality so instead of fighting it, I thought that I’d dedicate this article to showing English Language Learners how to text in English.
我非常敬畏能在数秒钟就发出短信的现代年轻人。当然，他们已经精通了短信语言，而我也要向他们学习。作为一个英语讲师，我无法逃避这个现实，所以我想与其无谓反抗我还不如花些时间写篇文章告诉语言学习者如何用英文发短信。
