B
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

参考译文：
我们记者生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到这是一种新事物。对他们来说，这很正常。
春节假期，当我和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上时，我一下子明白了这一点。我带了一本儿童读物来读。它有简单的文字和彩色的图片—与他的年龄完美匹配。
想象一下: 我的孙子坐在我的腿上，我把书放在他面前，这样他就可以看到图片了。当我阅读时，他伸出手，用手指戳那一页。
这是怎么回事?我想他只是喜欢那些照片。我翻了一页然后继续。他更用力地戳那页纸。我差点儿把书掉在地上。我很困惑: 这孩子有什么问题吗?
然后我意识到发生了什么。事实上，他对书籍并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台平板电脑逗他玩，电脑里有五颜六色的图片，戳一下就活灵活现的。他以为我的故事书是那样的。
对不起,孩子。这本书不是你们高科技世界的一部分。这是一种过时的、毫无生气的东西。像你祖父一样的古董。我可能老了，但从数字技术的角度来说，我并不是无可救药。我编辑视频和制作音频。我使用移动支付。我甚至建过网站。
然而，在我的新媒体经历中有一个明显的差距: 我在镜头前花的时间很少，因为我有一张为广播而生的脸。但这并没有阻止《中国日报》上周邀请我为一个关于京津冀一体化的视频项目分享一个个人故事。
不管怎样，爷爷现在是网络红人了——两分钟就出名了!我保证不会让这事冲昏了头脑。但我会确保我两岁的孙子在他的平板电脑上看到它。
