福克斯新闻 疾病预防控制中心表示越来越多美国人在家里使用手机（在线收听）

Telephones and the landlines that connect them have been a part of American households since their introduction in the latter part of the 19th century…

But the cellphone is coming up close behind.

In a new study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, more than 47% of Americans use only cellphones at home, while just 8% have landlines only, and about 42% of us use both.

Stephen Blumberg, the lead author of the study, says, “the tipping point is approaching.”

The study also points out that poor folks are much more likely to have cellphones only.

And the Midwest is the most wireless region in the nation where 52% have cut the cord.

In the Northeast, just 32% of the population have done likewise.

自19世纪晚期以来电话和其连接线已经成为美国家庭的一部分…

但手机则随后赶上。

疾病控制中心一项新研究的调查显示,超过47%的美国人只在家中使用手机,而固定电话的使用率只有8%,约42%的人同时使用二者。

这项研究的主要作者斯蒂芬·布隆伯格表示正接近临界点。

该研究还指出,贫穷的人更可能只拥有手机。

而全国无线区域覆盖范围最广的中西部只有52%的使用率。

东北部地区,只有32%的人使用。
